Tools

Technologies and Innovations

The project incorporated several innovative technologies designed to enhance production efficiency and ensure high-quality output:

  • Multi-Hearth Furnace: This furnace plays a crucial role in the activation process by converting raw carbon material into activated carbon using a controlled heating process. This method enhances the adsorption properties of the material, making it ideal for industrial use.
  • Pneumatic Conveyance Systems: These systems use air pressure to transport materials throughout the facility, reducing the need for mechanical handling and improving overall efficiency.
  • Crushing Systems: The crushing systems reduce raw materials to the desired size, ensuring consistency in the activated carbon produced.
  • Transfer Conveyors: These conveyors ensure smooth and continuous material flow throughout the plant, facilitating the transport of both raw materials and finished products.
  • Piping and Electrical Systems: Advanced piping systems were installed for efficient fluid and material transport, while electrical systems ensured the reliable operation of all facility components, including control systems and power supply.
