Earth Day is again upon us, and FEECO International will be celebrating Earth Day as it does every year: the same way they do every day. Though the “official” Earth Day comes but once a year, at FEECO, every day is Earth Day. Earth Day was established 42 years ago by Senator Gaylord Nelson, who wanted ...
FEECO International’s home page is getting an exciting new addition: a waste counter. The counter is a running count of the number of tons of waste that FEECO has helped divert from landfills to date. “It’s one thing to say you’ve diverted a lot of waste from landfills, but it’s pretty staggering to see the ...
This December, FEECO was recognized by the Green Masters Program as a “Green Professional,” meaning FEECO has performed actions in each of the nine sustainability areas, earning over 100 points total. The program, which is run by the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council, recognizes Wisconsin companies with an outstanding dedication to integrating principles of sustainability into ...
In the coming months, you may notice items being added to our literature page, and those that are already there, updating. This is part of FEECO International's effort to bring you the most up-to-date information on what we have to offer our customers. Our newest brochure takes a look at FEECO's lab testing and tolling ...
Previously, we looked at indirect fired rotary kilns in applications such as reactivating spent carbons, pulling valuable materials out of valueless carriers, and conducting thermal processes in inert environments. Now we will look at indirect fired rotary kilns in the application of processing finely divided solids. Indirect fired rotary kilns can be beneficial when the material ...
Depending on the circumstances, indirect fired rotary kilns can have many advantages over direct fired rotary kilns. One such advantage is when the required thermal processing is best done in an inert atmosphere. As an example, most carbonaceous solids will combust when at elevated temperatures in the presence of free oxygen. High temperature processing of ...
In the thermal processing industry, rotary kilns are used to cause chemical reactions or state changes in varying materials. As discussed previously in Direct Fired Rotary Kilns vs. Indirect Fired Rotary Kilns: What's the Difference, while direct fired rotary kilns and indirect fired rotary kilns use similar thermal processing principles, they are each beneficial in ...
Feeco International has had much success in the thermal processing industry, with their custom designed rotary dryers, rotary kilns, rotary calciners, and rotary coolers. Part of their success is owed to their lab, which has state of the art equipment and highly trained technicians to run tests that assist in determining custom engineered needs. ...
Biogas has been a popular topic of discussion lately, as the need for energy increases, and sources are being run dry. Sometimes referred to as swamp gas, landfill gas, or digester gas, biogas is generated from anaerobic digesters such as animal manure, sewage, and municipal solid waste. When upgraded to the necessary level of purity, ...
In the thermal processing industry, often times a rotary kiln is used to process a wide variety of feed material – from waste sludges to high-value minerals. Within the rotary kiln industry, there are two major subsets: direct fired rotary kilns, and indirect fired rotary kilns. Both kinds of rotary kilns run on the same ...
The old adage, “give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime,” rings very true for what we at Feeco International do every day. Any company can sell a product, but not just any company can deliver a solution to last a ...
When it comes to rotary dryers, let's face it: we're not the only ones who make them. So a lot of people ask us, why are Feeco's rotary dryers any better than someone else's. Although there are many reasons why Feeco stands out in the thermal processing industry, one reason we are particularly proud of, is ...
Just 41 years ago, Senator Gaylord Nelson set aside April 22 as Earth Day; a day to honor and raise environmental awareness and to aid in the effort to put regulations on toxins going into the environment. This April 22, 2011, Feeco International will be celebrating Earth Day the same way it celebrates every other day, ...
