Carbon's Black
As User Engineering, our solution partner Kockum Sonics are selling in more than 50 countries worldwide. Therefore, in many sectors, it is inevitable to increase material flow, prevent particle condensation, and produce fast and economical production with sonic cleaning systems. Energy production, cement, petrochemical and food, other dry processing and storage industries are the sectors we operate extensively with. When gas and liquid hydrocarbons are incompletely burned, fine-grained elementary carbon is formed. This elementary carbon has a particle diameter of about 25 to 400 millimeter.
Most carbon black is obtained as a result of non-combustion of gases and refinery liquid gases from special boilers as side product. The carbon black particles carried by the combustion gases are separated from the gas by various separation methods. To obtain carbon black, canal method is used. Natural gases and non-precious oils are fueled in poor air flow and in special furnaces and sooty flame is obtained. These flames are hit with steel (with channels on it) and the flame moves back and forth slowly. Collected in the channel is scraped with a moving knife.
Another form of carbon black is called acetylene black. Acetylene black is obtained from heat decomposition of acetylene. This deterioration is an exothermic reaction. Start temperature is 800 degrees. There is no need for heating after the reaction has started.
Sonic cleaners have been successfully used in the carbon black industry in the following process areas.
- Silo
- Threshing silos
- Duct cleaning
- Cyclones ( Dynamic and static )
- Filter systems
- ID Fan systems
