Detergent zeolite complex "Alusil", Zvornik

Abstract

The IGPC Engineering Department designed the basis technological and machine projects for a detergent zeolite complex, on the basis of which a pilot plant with an initial capacity of 5,000 t/y was constructed in 1983 within Birač-Zvornik production complex. Additional projects were done afterwards and the starting capacity increased to 200,000 t/y in 1988. This plant became the biggest producer of detergent zeolite in the world. These projects were manufactured on the basis of specific technology developed in the laboratories of the IGPC.Several goals were realized by designing a detergent zeolite production complex. This technology was an innovation, because a new approach in detergent zeolite production was developed. The product meets all quality demands, as well as environmental regulations. The detergent production process is fully automatized and the product has uniform quality. There is no waste material in detergent zeolite production, because all products with unsatisfactory quality are returned to the process. The production process can be controlled manually, which is necessary during stanrt-up, and repairs.
