In World Fertilizer Magazine, Igor Makarenko, Global Director, Fertilizer at Solex Thermal Science, examines how an indirect plate-type heat exchanger can be used in the final fertilizer cooling step in order to avoid caking.
The cement industry is under pressure to reduce operating costs. Some of the challenges associated with the current commercially avaliable technologies for cement cooling are their high energy consumption, high maintenance cost, and high water consumption.
Plastic polymers are all around us in the products we use every day. Learn exactly what they are, how they're made and how Solex Thermal is using their Indirect Heat Exchanger to make the drying, heating and cooling of Polymers more stable and efficient.
Solex Thermal's plate type cooler technology is changing the game. In this article prepared for the 2015 Annual European Biosolids & Organic Resources Conference & Exhibition, learn how the Solex Heat Exchanger works to safely and efficiently cool biosolids, problems faced and solutions offered in the industry, and future opportunities for this new technology.
Learn what minerals are, how they are processed and what technologies can be used for the processing of minerals. Read more about the Solex Heat Exchanger and how it uses the principals of thermal dynamics to improve downstream processes for the minerals processing industry.
Foundry sand is clean, uniformly sized, high quality silica sand, used in foundry casting processes. The sand is bonded to form molds or patterns used for ferrous (iron and steel) and non-ferrous (copper, aluminum, brass) metal castings. Shake-out sand from completed metal casting are often reclaimed back into the foundry sand process.
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.
With over half of the world’s food supply dependent on fertilizer due to nutrient lacking soil, the importance of fertilizer production, fertilizer storage and transport continues to grow.
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.
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.
Salt is Big Business. Salt manufacturing is among the oldest chemical industries in the world. Over the past century, annual global production has risen from 10 million tonnes to more than 200 million tonnes.
The importance of fertilizers to the world economy can hardly be overstated and the growth in fertilizer consumption since the 1960s has been impressive. By supplying crops with essential nutrients, fertilizers facilitate efficient use of land and water.
