Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization

Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization.
The requirements for the high-performance materials of the future pose new challenges for product developers: Innovative applications require increasingly complex materials, but their desired properties can so far only be achieved in cost-intensive multi-step processes. The process temperature plays a key role here. With high-temperature fluid bed systems, plant manufacturer Glatt overcomes previously applicable temperature limits and enables the production of catalyst materials in a single-step process.

Particles in an onion look – Drying of liquids by fluid bed spray granulation

Particles in an onion look – drying of liquids by fluid bed spray granulation. If liquid starting products are to be converted into bulk materials, both the spray drying and fluid bed spray granulation processes are used. The choice of technology depends on which particle properties need to be set to enable specific applications. (German article)

PHOS4green presented at the State Association of the Recycling Industry Saxony e. V. in Leipzig

Phosphorus recovery on the agenda at the Landesverband der Recyclingwirtschaft Sachsen e. V. (State Association of the Recycling Industry Saxony) on November 13, 2018 in Leipzig. “High-performance fertilizer from sewage sludge ash”: this was the title of a presentation by Jan Kirchhof, Senior Sales Manager Process & Plant Engineering, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, Weimar, as part of the program on “Phosphorus Recycling – Opportunities and Challenges in Saxony”.

Phosphate fertilizer from sewage sludge ash

The amended Sewage Sludge Ordinance gradually restricts direct agricultural utilization and requires operators of large sewage treatment plants to recover the phosphate bound in sewage sludge and ashes. A new approach makes it possible to fully recycle sewage sludge ashes and make the phosphate available for standard and compound fertilizers. (article in German language)

Phosphorus Recycling – Sustainable Growth Formula

Phosphorus recovery: Glatt Ingenieurtechnik has developed an innovative process that converts sewage sludge ash economically and without waste into fertilizer granules that can be marketed directly. (Article in German)

Increasing trend towards customer’s own product

Schüttgut-Interview with Dr.-Ing. Michael Jacob, Head of Process Engineering, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
At Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, the focus is on processes related to particle design and particle engineering for the development, optimization, functionalization and production of powders and bulk materials such as granules and pellets. Dr.-Ing. Michael Jacob, Head of Process Engineering, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik in Weimar, explains where the current challenges lie in the industry.

A Fluid Bed Approach for Urea-based Fertilizers

Mike Waskow, Process Engineer, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, Germany, explains how economical production of urea-based fertilizers can be achieved using fluidised bed technology. (Case study)

Better safe than sorry – Design safety for fluid bed systems

Better safe than sorry – design safety for fluid bed systems
Design-based explosion protection is one of the most important precautionary measures for operating fluidized bed systems in a process-safe manner. Atex-compliant designs range from explosion-suppressed to explosion-pressure-resistant apparatus. (German article)

Greener granulating and adding value – Effective fluid bed plant design

Sustainable granulation and refining – Effective fluid bed plant design
German energy prices are among the highest in Europe. More efficient energy use pays off not only in terms of operational cost management, but also in terms of competitiveness and image. Whether in the form of spectacular architecture, as in the case of state-of-the-art, energetically self-sufficient company headquarters, or in silver-grey components for fluidized bed plants – there is always a holistic approach behind successful concepts.
