Filtration
Agrilectric Research manufactures and sells high performance, renewable filter aids for all types of solid liquid separation applications. Our filter aids are superior to traditional products and deliver extraordinary value in sludge dewatering operations as well as high purity, high volume filtration applications. Agrilectric Research has developed a number of innovative filter aid technologies.

* Filter aids that remove metals from wastewater and sequester them into the solid phase
* Filter aids that contain high Btu’s and burn away to minimize ashing
* Filter aids that offer single product solution to coagulation/flocculation + filtration treatments
* Filter aids that minimize solids production and energy requirements

Additive & Insulator
Agrilectric has supplied the world wide steel industry since the start up in 1984. The unique characteristics of the rice hull ash (RHA) make it an exceptional insulator.

With the percentage of unburned carbon in the range of 4 to 6% and low crystalline silica values, the ash is used as insulator in the steel manufacturing process without fear of flaring up due to the unburned carbon igniting and causing heat production in an area that is not intended to produce heat. The Agrilectric combustion technology has been producing ash products for over 20 years with the customers knowing they will receive consistency in product quality.

When used as a Ladle or Tundish Cover,
the rice hull ash:

*Prevents Heat Loss
*Extends Pouring Time
*Maintains Core Temperature
*Improves Yields from the Ladle
*Provides a low density Insulation
*Prevents Surface Oxidation
*Coagulates Slag Carry Over from the Ladle
*Reduces Metal Skulling
*Requires Less Tundish Heat While Casting
*Eliminates Tundish Covers

Physical & Chemical Properties are Completely Compatible
*Unburned Carbon: Average 5%
*Silica Content: Average 93%
*Moisture: Average <3%

With a variety of packaging and transportation options available, Agrilectric Research can supply the needs of steel manufacturing any where in the world with a consistent renewable amorphous silica quality product. Through a long history of supplying the steel industry in numerous applications, we can provide technical support and product testing worldwide.

We also have value added products
*MGR- Is our RHA with surface treatment to minimize dusting during applications
*Agrilectric RHA Pellets- Our pelletized rice hull ash eliminates airborne particles during the applications when high wind currents are present

Absorbent
Rice hulls, when burned in a controlled combustion process, create a unique amorphous silica structure. The rice hull ash produced from Agrilectric contains approximately 40m2/g surface area (determined by BET method).

Based on the internal and external surface area, our products create an excellent absorbent for liquid spills. Several industries are using these products to:

* HAZMAT Response
* Raceway Cleanups
* Dewatering liquids
* Environmental Pond solidification
* Oil and Fuels Adsorbents
* Moisture control

Soil Amendment
The surface area created form the Agrilectric combustion process also improves moisture retention. This along with the fact that the products are sterile from the combustion process creates an excellent soil amendment. Uses such as: * Potting soils, * Golf courses, * Soil conditioner

Agrilectric Research is currently supporting studies with this 100% renewable resource. We are and will continue to be a proud sponsor of the environment.
