This week’s photo is an example of how agglomeration can be used applied to a variety of materials that are often thought of as outside the realm of what is typically agglomerated. This photo, taken at the FEECO Lab Testing Facility, shows algae that has been agglomerated in a pin mixer.
You wouldn’t think of algae as your typical material for agglomeration, but due to its rich nutrient value, it is often used in the production of various fertilizers.
We have run into many materials that were thought of as wastes, or useless to process. Many of these materials have great potential that can be uncovered in the agglomeration process. Agglomerating these waste materials helps to keep them out of landfills, and in many cases, puts them to use.
If you have a waste material or process by-product, our lab facility can help you determine feasibility, and take you from idea to process. Contact us today to find out how!
