Water supply and drainage

Water supply

The water source of this 1-2t/h cat litter production line in Indonesia project is the municipal water supply network, and the main water is domestic water and production water.

Domestic water:

The labor quota of this project is 10 people. The average domestic water consumption per person is calculated as 50L/d. The annual working days are 300 days, so the domestic water consumption of employees is 0.5m3/d and 150m3/a.

Production water:

The production water of this 1-2t/h cat litter production line in Indonesia project is mainly mixing water. The mixing water consumption is 80L/ton·product, so the mixing water consumption is 0.8m3/d and 240m³/a. Among them, 70% is evaporated and lost in the drying process, and about 30% enters the product. In summary, the fresh water consumption of this project is 1.3m3/d and 390m3/a, which comes from the tap water in the factory area.

Drainage project

The drainage of this cat litter factory project implements the rainwater and sewage separation system, and rainwater is discharged through the municipal rainwater pipe network. The wastewater generated by this project is mainly domestic sewage.

After being treated in a septic tank, the domestic sewage is discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network and meets the discharge standards after treatment. The domestic sewage generation coefficient is calculated as 0.8, so the domestic sewage generation is 0.4m3/d and 120m3/a.

The main pollutants are COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, etc., and their generation concentrations are 350mg/L, 30mg/L and 45mg/L respectively. After being treated in a septic tank, the domestic sewage is discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network and finally treated in a water plant to meet the discharge standards.

General layout and rationality analysis

This 1-2t/h cat litter production line in Indonesia project installs equipment in the existing plant for production, and the project covers an area of 700m2. The project layout fully considers the requirements of production technology and public facilities. Each link is compactly connected and the material transportation distance is short, which is convenient for energy saving and consumption reduction, and improves production efficiency.

At the same time, it takes into account the production and office environment within the plant area, and also takes into account the surrounding environment outside the plant area. From the perspective of convenient production, safety management and environmental protection, the layout is reasonable.

Process design

1. Loading
   The raw materials of this 1-2t/h cat litter production line in Indonesia project include soybean fiber, sawdust, corn flour, carbon particles and calcium carbonate. The raw materials are purchased by truck and stored in the workshop. The packaging bags are manually opened and put into the feeder according to the corresponding proportion.
   The main pollutants of this process are waste packaging materials used for packaging, feeding exhaust gas and noise generated by equipment operation. The feeding exhaust gas is collected by the gas collection hood above the feeder, treated by a high-temperature bag dust collector and discharged through a 15m high exhaust pipe.
2. Mixing
   This process is mainly to fully mix the raw materials, and the mixer is a closed equipment. In order to make soybean fiber, sawdust, corn flour, carbon particles, calcium carbonate, flavors, etc. bonded and mixed efficiently, water needs to be added before mixing (water is added to the mixer by controlling the water pump).
   The semi-finished products produced by the mixing process are transported to the granulation process via a closed conveyor belt.
   The pollutants generated by this process are mainly mixing exhaust gas and noise generated by equipment operation. Since the mixer is fully closed during operation, the amount of waste gas generated is relatively small.
   It is collected by the gas collection hood above the mixer, and discharged through a 15m high exhaust pipe (DA001) after being treated by a high-temperature resistant bag dust collector + secondary activated carbon.
3. Granulation
   This 1-2t/h cat litter production line in Indonesia project adopts dry granulation. The cat litter pellet machine is fully closed during operation, and the raw materials themselves contain a certain amount of moisture. Therefore, the pollutants generated by this process are mainly the noise generated by the operation of the equipment.
   The semi-finished products produced by the granulation process are transported to the drying process via a closed conveyor belt.
4. Drying
   Since the raw materials themselves contain a certain amount of moisture, it is necessary to dry the semi-finished cat litter particles produced in the granulation process. The drying heat source uses liquefied natural gas, and the direct drying method is adopted.
   The drying temperature is 80℃~90℃, and the drying time is about 10~15min. The exhaust gas in the drying process is mainly particulate matter, SO2, NOx, and VOCs (flavor volatile exhaust gas). The semi-finished cat litter particles after drying are cooled by air and then conveyed to the screening machine through a closed conveyor belt.
   The main pollutants of this process are drying exhaust gas (particulate matter, SO2, NOx, VOCs) and noise generated by equipment operation. Liquefied natural gas is burned through a natural gas burner (equipped with a low-nitrogen burner). The drying exhaust gas is treated by a high-temperature bag dust collector + secondary activated carbon and discharged through a 15m high exhaust pipe.
5. Screening
   The screening machine is a closed structure. After the cat litter enters the screening machine, it is divided into qualified products and unqualified products according to its own shape. The screening process is operated in the closed screening machine.
   No waste gas is generated during the screening process, and unqualified products are collected as raw materials for production.
6. Packaging
   The water content of the finished cat litter is about 8%, and it is in the form of long strips and particles. Therefore, there is basically no waste gas generated during the packaging process of cat litter. Qualified products are packaged by the packaging machine and put into storage for sale.

Why should we carry out the cat litter project?

The cat litter production line in Indonesia has a very broad prospect and great potential for future development.

1. First of all, the development prospects of the cat litter production line depend on the global pet market, which is growing continuously. It is estimated that by 2026, the global pet market will reach 83 billion US dollars.
2. Secondly, the development prospects of the cat litter production line also depend on the consumption level of the pet industry. The consumption level of the pet industry is getting higher and higher. It is estimated that by 2026, the consumption scale of the pet industry will reach 100 billion US dollars.
3. In addition, the development prospects of the cat litter pellet production line also depend on the consumption structure of the pet industry. The consumption structure of the pet industry is also constantly changing. The proportion of pet food and pet supplies is gradually decreasing, while the proportion of pet services and pet entertainment is gradually increasing.
4. Finally, the development prospects of cat litter production lines also depend on the management level of cat litter pellet plants. Cat litter factories should strengthen management, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and thus improve economic benefits.

In short, starting cat litter production line in Indonesias have very broad prospects and great potential for future development. Cat litter manufacturers should seize opportunities and continuously improve their competitiveness in order to gain a larger share in the future market.
