Case Study: Tackling Fly Ash Treatment for a Major Cement Plant

2025-09-19

Project Background

During cement manufacturing, the generation of fly ash is a significant operational challenge. For a major cement producer, the high water content and fine particles in their fly ash slurry made traditional solid-liquid separation inefficient. The environmental company servicing this client turned to us for an advanced dewatering solution that could meet stringent environmental regulations while lowering disposal costs.

Customer Challenges

  • High moisture content in fly ash (over 85%), difficult to handle and transport
  • Fine particle size requiring high-efficiency separation technology
  • Large processing volume demanding continuous, stable operation
  • Strict environmental discharge standards for water quality
  • Need to minimize operational and maintenance costs
  • Limited space for equipment installation in existing facilities

ZK SEPARATION Solution

Based on the specific requirements of fly ash treatment in cement production, we recommended the LW580 X 2400B two-phase decanter centrifuge with thin oil lubrication system. This equipment is specifically designed for handling fine particles and high-volume continuous operation in industrial applications.
