5000t/a New Coal-based Activated Carbon Plant
Activated Carbon ProductionProject Background
A new 5,000 t/a coal-based activated carbon plant using local weakly caking coal as feedstock. Product iodine value requirement: minimum 900 mg/g. Full-process design from raw material crushing to finished product packaging, with environmental emissions meeting national standards.
Project Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Design Capacity | 5,000 t/a |
| Feedstock | Weakly caking coal |
| Product Iodine Value | 900-1000 mg/g |
| Main Equipment | Rotary carbonization + activation furnace |
| Environmental | Pulse dust collector + desulfurization |
| Construction Period | 8 months |
Implementation
Delivered internal-heating rotary carbonization furnace (dia. 2.4m) + rotary activation furnace (dia. 2.2m) with pulse dust collection and limestone-gypsum desulfurization. Full responsibility from process design through commissioning.
Key milestones:
- Months 1-2: Foundation construction and equipment manufacturing
- Months 3-4: Equipment installation and piping
- Month 5: Individual and integrated testing
- Months 6-7: Furnace drying and process optimization
- Month 8: Production acceptance
