Preventative measures

OUR SERVICES

Planetfirst adopt and build recycling facility in various design to minimise process impact on the environment.

Bag Houses

All lines that are used for extraction purposes are formfitting with-in-line baghouses. These baghouses filter particulates minimising the impact on the environment. The filtered particles are then reprocessed in the smelter, maximising the recycling efficiency of the plant.

Cyclones

We have bagless modern cyclones system where air enters a cylindrical vessel at a specific angle which causes it to spiral round the vessel. This creates radial forces that cause the larger dust particles to spin out of the air stream and fall to the bottom of the vessel. This design is used to extract dust from our smelter extraction system and collected dusts are recycled again in smelting process.

Acid resistant Battery storage area

We understand the hazardous substance of battery which is harmful for environment and health of our employee therefore all of the lead acid batteries are stored in a separate acid resistant reservoir. This ensures that all battery acid is delimited and recycled in the process.

Effluent Treatment Plant

Effluent water from the within the process is transferred to the effluent treatment plant. Solids are divided into a three-stage filtration system. The effluent then undergoes a neutralisation process and treated with sodium hydroxide and a flocculent to aid the removal of any suspended solids. These generated solids are screened and pressed into dry filter cake. The filter cake is re-fed into the smelters, again increasing the overall environmental efficiency of the plant.
