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
Organic
wastes such as domestic organic matter, abattoir waste, green
waste, fruit and vegetable waste, wood pulp and cardboard
employ a system using earthworms to convert it to a vermicast
which can be redeployed as either a stable landfill or valuable
growth media.
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.
