Different industries need reliable storage solutions to hold a range of bulk materials that may come in dry form, liquid form, or even a mix of both solid and liquid. This is where slurry tanks come in, as they’re an amazing solution for handling the mix of both solid and liquid. In this article, we…
In industries having a Flue Gas treatment and Water treatment plants, bulk materials need to be transported safely, efficiently, and with less equipment as possible. This is done with the help of material handling equipment, of which a pneumatic conveyor can be the best solution, especially for long-distance. Read on to see an in-depth analysis…
A pneumatic conveying system is a core piece of a bulk material handling system. This system uses compressed air (or any other gas) to achieve great performance with difficult materials. It transfers powders, granules, and other dry bulk materials through an enclosed pipeline from one process area to another. The flow rate ranges from 0.5…
Drinking water treatment is the process of turning river water into drinking water. Raw water can come from groundwater or surface water and is not always drinkable without treatment. What results into drinking water treatment? Many compounds must be removed before the water can be drunk. Indeed, raw water is cloudy and contains pollutants, pesticides,…
Sodimate works for the glass industry for the revamping of pneumatic lime transport installations. The fumes coming from the glass furnaces are mixed to pass through an electro filter & a baghouse filter before going out from a chimney. The lime injection consists of a system with an existing metal silo on load cells and…
Wastewater treatment is the process of converting wastewater or used water into water that can be discharged back into the environment safely. Industrial wastewater treatment covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat contaminated water. What results into wastewater? The main concern is the increase in synthetic compounds in wastewater as result of commercial activities…
Screw feeders come in different lengths, sizes, configurations, and are made from different materials depending on the nature of the product you want to handle. Selecting the right screw feeder for your industry is important for an efficient and safest process. WHAT IS SCREW FEEDER? A screw feeder is a piece of equipment that, as…
Flue gas treatment is the process of reducing the amount of pollutants that are emitted when fossil fuels, including wood, natural gas, oil, and coal are burnt at a power plant, an industrial facility, or any other place.

The Sodimate Inc. team would like to take this time to address the mounting concerns regarding the Coronavirus and our business functionality.
Sodimate will be exhibiting at IFAT, the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management in Munich.
Today’s relay-based control systems, that were originally derived ladder logic programming, are being replaced with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) that use this language. However, for the automation of small and simple Sodimate dry chemical feed systems, relay logic controls are still the best solution.
For applications where dry reagents are injected into smoke ducts, Sodimate designs and provides pneumatic transfer systems. These solutions are the best alternative to screw conveyors when the installation requires complex paths and a high injection point that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
Sodimate Inc will be exhibiting at WEFTEC Conference 2019 Booth#5455 at the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago, IL from September 23rd to 25th.
