| Industrial Applications | |

Process
Plants Water and other fluid filtration on production plants with particular focus on cooling water systems. Also useful applications in ammonia removal post chemical processing where australian zeolite filter media can be employed as a polishing filter to remove the smallest of quantities from large volumetric flows. |
 |
Waste
water treatment plants Australian zeolite has been demonstrated as having useful applications in waste water treatment as both a primary additive to encourage bacteriolical activity in activated sludge plants as well as a final screening filter prior to discharge to river systems. |

Filtering
wastewater for safe disposal of toxic contaminents Australian Customs have made use of our australian zeolite for the processing of wash water used to flush out and clean overseas shipping containers. Particles removed from these containers, originating from overseas, cannot be allowed to enter the australian natural environment and are removed with these high efficiency zeolite particulate filters for disposal out of harms way. |

Removal
of industrial and agricultural odours in sensitive areas Major civil construction companies have an interest in our products for the containment of toxic and/or noxious gases eminating from construction sites. Such areas as old gas works and industrial areas where hydrocarbons had been spilled, reclaimed petrol stations and paint works make ideal areas for the application of zeolite products for suitable removal and cleanup. Environmental remediation, or remedying the environment, involves the removal of non-indigenous contaminents, often industrial wastes deposited in a less responsible by-gone era. These wastes can become unstable following exposure during cleanup and need rapid adsoprtion to prevent odour release to the surrounding areas, which may be sensitive residentials. Zeolite products spread across the areas ensure the odours are contained and become readily removed for suitable deepfill disposal. |

Adsorption
of radioactive contaminents Natural zeolites were used to clean up both the 3 Mile Island and the Chernobly nuclear disasters. Natural zeolites are being used to treat low and intermediate aqueous waste. Current users are British Nuclear Fuels in Great Britain, West Valley Nuclear and Date Ridge National Laboratory in the United States. Synthetic zeolites, such as Zeolite A, X and Y are favoured for the capture of caesium and strontium. |

Vermiculture Zeolite improves the conversion time, reduces or eliminates the production of foul or unpleasant odours, ties up heavy metals and prevents their release to the environment as well as reducing potential bio-accumulation of these elements in worms, buffers the pH, increases the nutrient value of the vermicast by tying up nitrogen, adds to the cation-exchange capacity of vermicast which helps promote sustained release of nutrients for plant growth and reversibly absorbs water. Application is 30-50kg of the <1mm unscreened product per cubic metre of waste material. |
