Upgrading Infrastructure and Embracing Sustainability with QualiCal

As the world faces increasing environmental challenges, innovative and sustainable technologies are essential to upgrade industries and infrastructure. Lime, a critical component in addressing environmental issues, has a long and growing list of sustainability-related applications.

Lime and the Environment

Lime has emerged as a vital component in addressing a wide range of complex environmental issues. Applications for lime products in sustainability include acid rain reduction, environmental rehabilitation, water and sewage treatment, agriculture, oil and gas production, and power generation.

QualiCal’s focus in the lime domain is on upgrading infrastructure and renewing existing lime assets, making them sustainable with enhanced resource-use efficiency and broader adoption of clean, environmentally-friendly technologies and industrial processes.

In line with QualiCal’s #NEVERSTOPINNOVATING R&D corporate vision, QualiHYDRO hydration plant modules have been upgraded to optimize the hydration process efficiency, producing a broader spectrum of hydrated lime products.

Introducing the QualiHYDRO Modular Solution and SPYDRO-RTC® Hydrator

The RTC® (Reaction Temperature Control) feature is a unique innovation in the slaking plant that makes QualiHYDRO capable of optimizing the hydration process in terms of fineness and a wide surface area spectrum.

The QualiCUBE Modular Solution has been integrated with SPYDRO RTC® (Reaction Temperature Control), a compact slaking plant with advantageous dimensions for installation in confined locations.

SPYDRO RTC

SPYDRO RTC is equipped with a pre-mixing reactor and two seasoning stages, combined with the RTC® feature, enabling QualiHYDRO to optimize the hydration process in terms of fineness and a wide surface area spectrum.

QualiHYDRO-RTC maintains QualiCal’s patented dedusting filter on the side to minimize emissions within state-of-the-art environmental limits.

AQUA module

QualiHYDRO is supplied with the AQUA module to optimize process water usage. The AQUA water recovery system efficiently recovers and recycles process water from the lime hydration plant. This innovative system significantly reduces water consumption, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production process.
