Pre-Engineered Systems
Magnesium Oxide Feed System
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a dry powder often used in industrial applications for silica removal and pH adjustment. When mixed with water to form a slurry, magnesium oxide begins to hydrate in a reaction producing magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). For some applications, magnesium oxide (MgO) slurries are more effective when the MgO slakes in the downstream reactor instead of the mix tank. Understanding the factors that impact the rate of this reaction, including water temperature, mixing speed, retention time, and system design, can help ensure that you are getting the most effective use of MgO slurry for a given process.
Carmeuse Systems simplifies the use of magnesium oxide by offering a pre-engineered magnesium oxide feed system for your application. Our standard magnesium oxide feed system comes in a three-piece modular design with different options to suit your exact needs. This design includes all the necessary components for a quick and efficient setup and is designed to handle the rigors of your application while reducing construction time and shipping costs. Carmeuse Systems assembles, installs, pipes, wires, and integrates all components/equipment through an automated control panel at our facility prior to shipment. The pre-insulated modular box is shipped upright on a skid and fits on a conventional truck.
