Who is not familiar with the practice of loading a #bulk vessel using 1-ton disposable big bags? One might think that this is a very labor-intensive and expensive way to handle bulk cargo, yet it is a common practice in many ports. Not to mention, it creates tons of plastic waste. #FBC was designed to address this problem in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. For the last 25 years, we have been assisting our clients in #transporting, #storing, and #handling bulk #commodities in ports. 14-ton reusable #FBC provides ports with the opportunity to load a bulk vessel at a rate of 5,000 tons per day while reducing handling costs by up to 50% compared to operations involving disposable big bags and totally eliminating plastic waste (yay! #ecology, #sustainability!). One of the latest projects in #Georgia involved the transportation and handling of ammonium nitrate. This #hydrophobic and #explosive product was loaded at the factory and transported to the port by rail in open wagons. At the port, #ammonium #nitrate was efficiently and smoothly unloaded onto the bulk vessel at the rate of 6.5 tons / per minute, and this technology, that is new to this particular port, was greatly appreciated by the port workers, management and the freight forwarder. PS It is possible to handle and unload 4-6x FBC at on time if port's cranes have sufficient lifting power. #bulk #ammoniumnitrate #urea #bulkvessel #port

Over the years we have developed various models of electrostatic separation to fit different needs of the specific #recycler The Mini Electrostatic Separation is integrated and compact for customers requiring lower capacity. #recyclingtechnology

A German recycling center uses this BLUEline Nova rotary lobe pumps for conveying leachate and washing water from garbage trucks. The operator was not satisfied with the progressive cavity pump used before. He particularly disliked the short service life, the complicated maintenance and the high maintenance costs of the progressive cavity pump. The Nova pump is equipped with a helical bevel geared motor. Thanks to the very compact design, integration into the existing system was very simple. Due to the requirements of the pumped medium, the pump is equipped with FKM O-rings and rotors made of Viton. The TC-coated casing protection protects the casing from the abrasive leachate. The customer is very satisfied with the BLUEline Nova. The service life is considerably longer than that of the progressive cavity pump used before and maintenance is much easier. The Nova pump does not have to be removed for maintenance. All wear parts can be replaced through the quick-release cover. The wear part costs for the Nova rotary lobe pump are also much lower than those for the progressive cavity pump used before.

Rubber Fender Disposal: A New Industry Solution from Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure Are your old, used fenders accumulating in the port scrapyard? Let Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure support you with sustainable disposal solutions, promoting eco-friendly port operations and advancing your journey toward circularity. Disposing of fenders at the end of their useful life has long been a challenge in the industry. Due to their large size and the difficulty of breaking them down for recycling, after-used fenders often end up in landfills—an unsustainable solution, as they are non-biodegradable and remain in the environment indefinitely. Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure(TMI)has identified an innovative facility capable of breaking down entire fenders in an eco-friendly manner. Using Advanced technology broken or used fenders are placed directly into a reactor where high heat separates their components. The process converts rubber into combustible oil and recyclable carbon, which are repurposed for other rubber products, while steel components are reclaimed for reuse. With this breakthrough, TMI is now equipped to help clients sustainably dispose of their fenders, integrating them into the circular economy and reducing the carbon footprint of port operations. For more information on this sustainable solution, please contact your local TMI sales team or office. #Circularity #Circulareconomy #RubberFenders #endoflifefenders #Trelleborg

Disposing of marine fenders after their service life is a significant industry challenge, as their large size and recycling complexity often result in them ending up in landfills. Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure has identified an innovative facility that breaks down the entire fender. Through advanced technology, damaged or old fenders are inserted into a reactor where high heat separates their components. This method converts rubber into combustible oil and reusable carbon, both of which are used in the manufacture of other rubber products, while the steel components are reclaimed for further use.

Hansgrohe Group commissions the world’s first electrohydraulic shredding and material separation facility for galvanised plastic parts. Galvanised parts are among the last big challenges for recycling. Because recovering the materials they contain is very technically complex, previous procedures have generally only concentrated on one of the material fractions – usually the metals. The results of these processes achieved a low material purity that meant only downcycling of components was possible. These two factors made the costly and cumbersome recycling process barely economically viable in relation to the value of recovered material.

https://lnkd.in/dFcen-ck SEPERATING HIGH VALUE FRACTION & LOW VALUE FRACTION FROM WASTE TIRES. THE BEAD WIRE. Dear Colleagues and Friends ++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Bead Wire (15% Tyre) has the high value fraction which can give Tyre Textiles and my Tyre Plastics. The bead Wire can be seperated into FLUFF RM For Tyre Textiles. These are a mix of Polyester+Aramid +Nylons. MICRO FLUFF RM for Tyre Plastics. Mix of Nylons+Polyester. The remaining 85% normally is Pyrolyzed to get Tyre Oil and rCB. Or Devulcanized to get rubber. Pyrolysis is the Preferred Process. rCB obtained needs a lot of Improvements to be able to replace the ASTM CB Grades in tyres. Tyre Oil could become the feedstock for making rCB. I have seen tyres 🔥 which represents the worst of the worst options, given the highly Toxic Emissions. Let Sanity Prevail. Waste is an Alternative Raw Material. Regards Yogesh D M #sustainability.
