"One-half-half-one-step" Alkali Process Developed Successfully

Recently, Nantong Bai County of Nanyang, Henan Province and Inner Mongolia Yihua Group have cooperated with each other to carry out technical research and developed a world-leading “half-half-base one-step” alkali production process and related alkali production equipment, which will enable China's natural alkali mining industry to Into the fast lane of optimized upgrade and continuous development.
China's natural alkali mining and processing are commonly used causticization process, high cost, high energy consumption, serious pollution, in the international are falling out of the process. The causticization process requires not only a large amount of quicklime, but also a large amount of alkaline solid waste, causticized sludge, at the end, which becomes a serious source of pollution for nearby water sources.
The "half-half-base one-step" alkaline production process eliminated the causticizing process in the original process, and independently designed and manufactured large-scale energy-saving and environmental protection equipment such as its own back-alkali calcining furnace and natural circulation external cooling carbonization tower. In the production process, the new process not only uses no quicklime, no caustic sludge is discharged, and the solid waste generated in the production process becomes a by-product of the enterprise. The closed-loop recycling of waste water realizes zero emission, and also shortens the process flow and saves energy. Consumption, cost per ton of soda ash product can reduce operating costs by 300 yuan.

Industrial Furnace

Industrial Furnaces
Improved process control and energy efficiency
Our thermal insulation solutions will help you to control heat loss and maintain a homogeneous temperature inside your furnace throughout the heating cycle. The reduced weight and compact size of our materials require thinner and fewer insulation layers, allowing for a more compact design and more efficient use of available space.

By using our insulation solutions, you minimise cost while maximising furnace capacity and working life. Our extended engineering expertise enables us to provide the most practical and cost-effective solution for all types of furnaces and thermal processes.

A selection of our applications:

Fired heaters, boilers, incinerators, heat treatment furnaces, galvanising furnaces, food and bakery ovens, melting furnaces, rotary and shaft kilns, firing kilns, lab and medical furnaces, hot processing equipment, fire testing furnaces


Typical applications of our solutions include furnaces used in many different industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, ferrous and non-ferrous, glass, cement and ceramics. Our solutions are also used in boilers, incenerators, fire testing furnaces, bakery furnaces, lab and medical furnaces and other processing equipment.
