Silica Sand Mining and Beneficiation Project in Kenya

Project Overview

We received a cooperation inquiry from a local enterprise in Kenya for a brand-new silica sand mining and deep processing project.

The client plans to build a full-set integrated silica sand processing plant covering the whole production chain from raw ore mining, wet purification to finished sand drying, storage and loading, equipped with automatic control system and professional laboratory testing equipment to produce multi-grade qualified silica sand products.

The project is planned to be located in Kenya, and aims to develop an integrated facility including:

• Silica sand extraction;
• Raw sand handling and feeding;
• Washing and desliming;
• Screening and classification;
• Attrition scrubbing;
• Hydrocyclone classification;
• Magnetic separation;
• Water recycling and sludge treatment;
• Drying system;
• Storage, bulk loading and/or bagging system;
• Automation, control system and laboratory equipment.
• others

According to different chemical composition and particle size requirements, the plant can produce silica sand for multiple industries:

• Glass industry;
• Construction and BTP applications;
• Automotive glass indusry
• Solar photovoltaic indystry
• Other industrial uses depending on final chemical and granulometric specifications.

LZZG provides 3 core service capabilities: full-set silica sand purification equipment supply, core wet purification process technology licensing, and full-plant EPC general contracting.

For this integrated silica sand deep processing project in Kenya, our company has customized a turnkey implementation solution for the integrated silica sand processing plant based on local ore characteristics, environmental protection requirements and multi-grade finished product production demands.

Our solution covers the full industrial chain including process design, equipment fabrication, on-site installation and commissioning, automation supporting systems, as well as wastewater and sludge treatment.
