Chemical feeding systems, which are designed to automate chemical injection into the chemical feed tank for purposes of water or wastewater treatment, are used by several industries and serve a range of purposes. That said, evolving technology has led to many changes and improvements that have made the equipment and technology involved a lot safer…
Dry chemical feed systems are a solution mostly used in industries like wastewater management, water treatment, and manufacturing. As with all other aspects of industrial applications, technology is changing and introducing more efficient and safer use of such systems. Keeping up with these changes is, therefore, important for any industry that wants to stay productive…
In industries, there’s a good deal of equipment put to use, some of the most common being screw conveyors. There are different types of conveyors that have varying abilities and setups. Have a look at the main differences between two common screw conveyors; the sludge screw conveyor and the flexible screw conveyor. Sludge Screw Conveyors…
How Sodimate’s silo Arch Breaker & Feeder ZDM 400 helped the Greenville Utilities Comission Water Treatment Plant achieve 100% efficiency in Powdered Activated Carbon injection The Water Treatment Plant’s previous discharge system, using vibrating bin activators, caused the PAC to jam the gearbox twice daily, required the replacement of belts and pulleys every 2 weeks…
Screw conveyors, also called auger conveyors, are an important part of many industries. They can be made in different designs, but the basic components are a conveyor screw which is the main part and moves bulk material along, a trough, a drive assembly, an electric motor, and the handedness, which determines the direction of flow…
A screw conveyor, also known as an auger conveyor, is a highly efficient mechanical device designed to transport various materials, including semi-solid materials and granular substances. It operates by utilizing a rotating helical screw blade, referred to as ‘flighting,’ enclosed within a cylindrical tube. Screw conveyors find extensive applications across numerous industries involved in bulk…
Wastewater treatment is the process by which wastewater is treated to make it usable in applications like industrial processes, irrigation, and even recreation. This helps maintain the environmental flow of water, with the by-products or sludge generating nutrients and energy. Sludge is the main by-product of wastewater treatment, and it’s typically a mix of trace…
Veolia operates the Dieppe wastewater treatment plant, located in Rouxmesnil-Bouteilles, France. The agglomeration community of the Dieppe region takes all necessary measures to ensure the quality of the effluents discharged into its wastewater system. The Dieppe wastewater treatment plant is currently the third largest in the region after Le Havre and Rouen. It also collects…
Feeder hoppers are large containers that can be shaped like cones or pyramids and that are used in industrial processes. They handle bulk material that can flow, including seeds, gravel, nuts, and even dust, dispensing the material within from the bottom when the need to do so arises. They hold and measure out bulk material…
Bulk handling safety is a crucial part of the bulk material industry. This is because it helps ensure that processes are carried out safely and effectively. All people involved with the supervision of material handling processes must be aware of existing risks and be committed to taking the necessary safety measures. Without proper care, several…
Glass has a wide range of applications throughout the world, but just how does it get manufactured? The process involves combining the main components, which are soda, limestone, and, of course, silica sand. The higher the quantity and chemical purity of silica in the sand for glassmaking, the better the quality of the glass produced, both…
