30+ T/D Wet-Process Sodium Silicate Plant — Nigeria

 

• Location: Nigeria | Capacity: More Than 30 T/D | Product: Liquid Sodium Silicate
• Process: Wet Process | Target Modulus: 2.0–3.5, Customized
• Project Scope: Process Design · Equipment Manufacturing · Installation Support · Commissioning
• Project Focus: Product Specification Control · Stable Reaction · Site Adaptation · Operating Efficiency

A customer in Nigeria required a wet-process production plant capable of manufacturing more than 30 tons of liquid sodium silicate per day.

The required product specifications, including modulus and concentration, needed to be adjusted according to the customer’s downstream applications. The complete plant also had to be designed around the available raw materials, site conditions, utilities and operating requirements.

Based on its experience in sodium silicate process engineering and chemical production equipment, Meibao developed a customized solution covering process planning, equipment configuration, manufacturing, installation guidance and commissioning support.

• Product specification control: The modulus, concentration and product consistency must meet the customer’s application requirements.
• Raw material adaptability: The process must be designed according to the quality of locally available quartz sand and caustic soda solution.
• Stable reaction conditions: Temperature, pressure, reaction time and material ratio need to be properly coordinated.
• Product clarity: Insoluble substances and impurities must be effectively separated during filtration.
• Site and utility conditions: Plant layout and equipment configuration must match the customer’s available space, power, water and steam conditions.
• Operation and maintenance: The production system should be convenient for local operators to manage and maintain.

Reference Configuration

Quartz sand preparation and screening → caustic soda solution preparation → raw material dosing → mixing and feeding → high-temperature and high-pressure reaction → pressure reduction and discharge → filtration → modulus and concentration adjustment → finished product storage.

Our Customized Wet-Process Solution

1. Raw Material and Product Analysis

Before determining the process configuration, Meibao evaluates the customer’s available quartz sand, caustic soda solution and required finished-product specifications.

The raw material ratio and reaction conditions are then designed according to the required sodium silicate modulus, concentration and intended application.

Customer Value: The production solution is developed around the customer’s actual raw materials and product requirements instead of using a fixed standard configuration.

2. Controlled Reaction System

The reaction system is designed to provide suitable temperature, pressure and reaction time for the conversion of quartz sand and caustic soda solution.

Monitoring and control measures are configured for key operating parameters to improve reaction stability and reduce deviations between production batches.

Customer Value: More stable reaction conditions and better consistency in the finished liquid sodium silicate.

3. Product Filtration and Specification Adjustment

After the reaction is completed, the material passes through pressure reduction, discharge and filtration. Insoluble materials are separated to improve the clarity and usability of the finished product.

The modulus and concentration can then be adjusted according to the customer’s specified requirements.

Customer Value: Greater flexibility to produce sodium silicate for different downstream applications and market requirements.

4. Plant Layout Adapted to Local Conditions

Meibao develops the equipment layout according to the customer’s site dimensions, utility supply, material flow and operating requirements.

Equipment access, pipeline arrangement, maintenance space, raw material handling and finished-product storage are considered during the design stage.

Customer Value: A more practical plant layout with smoother material flow and easier daily operation and maintenance.

5. Equipment Manufacturing and Quality Control

The main production equipment is manufactured and inspected according to the process and operating requirements of the project.

Materials, equipment structures and safety configurations are selected according to the chemical medium, operating temperature and pressure conditions.

Customer Value: Better coordination between process design and equipment manufacturing, reducing equipment-matching and installation risks.

6. Installation, Commissioning and Operator Support

Meibao provides installation guidance, system inspection, commissioning and operator training support.

During startup, the technical team assists with equipment checks, process adjustments and operating procedures to help the customer establish suitable production and maintenance practices.

Customer Value: More efficient project startup and stronger local operation and maintenance capability.

The project provides the customer with a localized wet-process sodium silicate production platform with a designed capacity of more than 30 tons per day.

The completed solution offers:

• More than 30 tons per day of liquid sodium silicate production capacity;
• Adjustable product modulus from 2.0 to 3.5;
• Product concentration customized to application requirements;
• Process configuration adapted to local raw materials;
• Stable reaction and filtration conditions;
• Practical operation and maintenance arrangements;
• Integrated support from engineering design to commissioning;
• Flexibility for future product and capacity development.

This project demonstrates Meibao’s ability to combine chemical process design, equipment manufacturing and international project support within one customized production solution.
