Metering and Conveying Silica Sand for Sedron Technologies General Description

KWS Provides Critical Equipment Safe drinking water and clean systems are basic needs for everyone in the world. However, to Sedron Technologies approximately 4.5 billion people do not have access to these necessities. Viruses and diseases spread due to poor sanitation. Traditional sanitation systems are not feasible in certain areas of the world. New technology is needed to solve the problem of poor sanitation. Fortunately, many new ideas and developments are helping to create safe drinking water and clean sanitation.

Sedron Technologies developed a decentralized treatment system using a Janicki Omni Processor that kills pathogens while recovering valuable resources from and other waste streams. The Omni Processor processes waste without piped water, sewer or electrical connections and can transform waste into useful resources such as energy and water. The process starts with biosolids mixed with hydrated lime and silica sand being fed to a dryer where moisture is removed. The dried solid waste is then burned to produce heat in a boiler to generate steam and power a turbine generator to produce electricity. The electricity powers the processor with excess electricity sold back to the power grid.

KWS Advantages

KWS has been working with Sedron Technologies on several phases of the Janicki Omni Processor system and provided bulk material handling equipment for metering biosolids to the boiler to generate electricity. For this phase of the project, Sedron Technologies needed a screw feeder for metering silica sand from a hopper and an inclined screw conveyor to transfer the silica sand into the biosolids for mixing. Using 3D model concepts generated by Sedron Technologies, KWS provided a quick engineered solution that t seamlessly into their process.

and discharges to a mixer. Tubular housing design increases conveying e ciency when conveying bulk materials up an incline over 20-degrees. KWS Provides Critical Equipment to Sedron Technologies All screws were constructed from abrasion resistant AR235 material to increase equipment life. Split gland seals keep the silica sand contained within the screw feeder and inclined conveyor.

Testimonial

“We have used KWS for several of parts of the Omni Processor project. Having reliable equipment is a must for our applications which is why we continue to use KWS.”
