In response to industry demands for more efficient external oxidation technology to convert calcium sulfite to calcium sulfate or commercial grade gypsum, EIMCO has developed the innovative Oxallizer® Oxidation Reactor. In addition to complete sulfite oxidation, the Oxallizer can control gypsum crystal growth to produce particles with excellent dewatering and wallboard manufacturing characteristics. At the heart of this technology lies the unique and well-proven WEMCO® Induced Air Reactor that eliminates the need for costly compressors. Some advantages of the Oxallizer, when compared with conventional oxidation technology, include:
- Lower capital costs
- 50% lower power consumption
- Reduced maintenance
- Easy restart under load
- Greater turndown capability
- Higher oxidation rates
- Crystal formation control capability
