Cement cooling is an important step in the cement production process, as it reduces the chance of gypsum dehydration and the formation of lumps, reducing the overall quality of the final cement. Learn how cement is cooled using innovative new technology that is more energy- and cost-efficient.
In the last 25 years, a more efficient and cost effective method has been introduced, using indirect heat transfer to heat free flowing bulk solids. Indirect heat exchange technology results in a higher quality finished product with increased energy efficiency and reduced emissions.
During sugar processing, the cooling and drying of crystalized sugar is the most important step after the purification process to guarantee a high quality of finished product.
How advances in indirect moving bed heat exchange (MBHE) technology are maximizing efficiencies during fertilizer production and storage.
In recent years, the oilseed processing industry has greatly expanded globally. The growing need for vegetable oils and biofuels is due to increase in global oil consumption and increasing awareness of environmental and sustainable alternative energies. In this article, we will explore some of the major types and uses of oilseeds along with conditioning and drying technologies in oilseed processing.
Novomoskovskiy Azot (NAK Azot) is one of Russia’s largest chemical enterprises. It operates a highly upgraded and modernized facility that has a strong foothold in ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer production. It is the second largest ammonia producer and the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in Russia as well as a major exporter in the world market.
In the February 2016 issue of Inform magazine, Solex Thermal Science looks at why the basic fundamentals governing energy recovery and heat transfer in bulk solids are a good starting point for achieving an optimal balance of performance, operational flexibility and commercial objectives.
Solex Thermal Science Inc. has been selected to provide a 50 metric ton per hour sugar cooler to Zucarmex for their Melchor Ocampo mill in Mexico. Zucarmex needed to find a solution to prevent their sugar from caking to improve the quality of their product for their customers.
Drying of bulk solids is often required for preservation of the product and as a final step before storage. It also serves as a feed stock preparation step for adjusting the moisture content of the incoming material to the desired level for downstream processing.
