General information

Short Summary
A Ukrainian technology university offers the technology for the complex processing of granite or limestone screenings which helps make sand meet standards, quickly settles clay in used water, and improves water recycling with the Aqua Circle sludge storage tank. It cuts down on process water use and reduces construction for sludge storage. The smallest size (0.06 mm) can be used in making cement. They are interested in selling a technology license or organizing joint production.
Full Description
A Ukrainian technology university offers the technology for the complex processing of granite or limestone screenings, which helps make sand meet standards.
The technology involves the enrichment of the associated sand to meet EN (ASTM) specifications and forced accelerated settling of clay particles of used water, reducing the consumption of process water and the volume of construction work on the sludge storage facility. Due to the module's high productivity and a wide range of products, it is possible to produce narrow screening size classes (fractions of 5-10 mm, 2-5 mm, 0.63-2 mm, 0.06-0.63 mm). The 0.06 mm size class can be used as an aggregate in cement production. It is also possible to improve the process of the water recycling cycle thanks to the modern technology of the Aqua Circle mobile sludge storage tank.
Process water of accelerated rotation due to using peptizes (relevant in the summer period of operation or areas with reduced water inflow). The technology is based on gravitational interaction processes between quartz grains and clay particles.
Main technical and economic characteristics:
Solid base productivity, 30-200 t/h;
Power consumption, 37-150 kW;
Water consumption, 60-600 cubic meters/hour;
Number of fractions, 3-7 pcs.
The use of a deep enrichment module as a "green recycling" module to produce high-quality enriched washed fractions from granite or limestones screening will allow the production of paving stones or FEM tiles.
The technology of accelerated settling of solids from recycled water, which produces a short cycle of its circulation and reduces the use of quarry transport to move the artificial sludge pond, as well as the extraction of enriched sand as a separate by-product
The university searches international partners for selling a technology license or organizing joint production via a Commercial agreement with technical assistance or an Investment agreement.
Advantages and Innovations
- Clay particle separation at the initial stage of enrichment;
- Reducing sand losses due to the pressure washing system;
- Accelerate the recycled water cycle and reduce the length and volume of the sludge storage tank.
Stage of Development
Available for demonstration
