Advantages of the INASHCO Process

An important advantage of the INASHCO Concentrator is that it can be operated as a stand alone unit or it can serve as an extension to existing installations, meaning it can be easily added to conventional technology to increase metal recovery dramatically. This means that the dry technology extension can be applied to existing plants without changing the process, preventing high cost in adjusting or replacing the existing installations.

The INASHCO Concentrator can treat bottom ashes with moist contents upto 20% without any problem enabling the direct treatment of bottom ash without aging. This will not only prevent dust formation, but will also minimize chemical reactions such as the leaching of heavy metals and hydrogen formation. At the same time, the oxidation grade of aluminium can be kept to a minimum resulting in aluminium scrap product of better quality.

Other advantages of the INASHCO Concentrator:

• A dry recovery technology
• Easily installed on site 
• Low investment
• By far the most economical process available
• By far the most environmental friendly process available 
• Zero waste potential
• Simple, reliable and robust
• Can handle different types of bottom ash
• Efficient recovery of metals down to 1 mm
