Al Oxide Powder Separation Project AtSandvik Asia

Al Oxide Powder Separation Project At Sandvik Asia, Pune

The Separator is used for a special application viz. separation of Aluminium Oxide powder from water. The Al Oxide powder is used in grinding processes as an abrasive, due to its hardness & strength.

The Separator System is provided with a centralized collection tank. Al oxide slurry, from the process, is collected in this tank. The Separator gets activated when the centralized tank gets filled-up. The slurry is efficiently cleaned by the Separator. The Separator shuts-off when the slurry in the tank reaches the low level.

The Al oxide powder slurry is cleaned efficiently, the dewatered powder is collected and the clean water recycled for process use. Thus effectively reducing the load on ETP and ensuring savings in water and powder recovery.

New Overflow Tank Design for Paint Sludge Pits

A new Overflow (OF) Tank has been designed for the efficient collection and concentration of the paint sludge from the sludge pit, which can be easily pumped to a centrifuge separator.

The OF tank is designed for those sludge pits, which do not have a skimmer tank or de-sludger system attached to it. Unlike skimmers, the OF tank does not have a skimmer arm and the sludge is allowed to float inside the tank. The trapezoid shaped tank is so designed to collect the floating paint sludge at one end, with the help of a specially designed suction device. The sludge is pumped to the centrifuge separator through this suction device.

The paint sludge sent to the centrifuge separator gets effectively dewatered and the clean water is sent back to the sludge pit.
