In today’s world of modern manufacturing, precision, automation, and hygiene are no longer optional—they’re essential. That’s where a Liquid Handling System comes in. Whether it’s food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, or chemical industries, liquid handling is the heart of every production line. These systems are designed to manage, control, and transfer liquids with accuracy and efficiency, ensuring seamless operations and consistent product quality.

A Liquid Handling System automates the process of transferring, mixing, dosing, and storing liquids—reducing manual effort while improving reliability. In industries like beverages and dairy, these systems ensure the perfect blend and composition of ingredients, giving the final product a uniform taste and texture. The integration of smart sensors and automated valves makes it possible to achieve high levels of accuracy while minimizing product loss.

One of the key benefits of a Liquid Handling System is its ability to maintain hygiene and safety. Stainless steel construction prevents contamination, making it ideal for handling consumable products. Moreover, the closed-loop design ensures that no external elements interfere with the purity of the stored or processed liquid. For industries following strict quality standards, such as HACCP and FDA, these systems provide a dependable and compliant solution.

Efficiency is another major advantage. A well-engineered Liquid Handling System reduces wastage, lowers energy consumption, and enhances production speed. With the help of automation, businesses can monitor liquid flow, temperature, and pressure in real time—ensuring optimal performance at every stage. Predictive maintenance and IoT integration also allow operators to detect potential issues before they affect production, reducing downtime and increasing profitability.

In addition to operational benefits, Liquid Handling Systems support sustainability goals. By minimizing resource waste and enabling better control over liquid usage, these systems help industries reduce their environmental footprint. They also allow the reuse of cleaning agents and water, making operations more eco-friendly and cost-efficient.

For companies looking to modernize their production processes, investing in a Liquid Handling System is a smart and future-ready decision. It not only boosts accuracy and productivity but also enhances overall process safety and compliance. From food processing to pharmaceuticals and beyond, these systems are shaping the future of liquid-based manufacturing with advanced automation and intelligent design.

The waste from the conversion of the bauxite into aluminium oxide, red mud, is one of the largest disposal problems in the world. 

Pressure-cooking bauxite with sodium hydroxide solution to dissolve the alumina content should be a simple enough process, but silica in bauxite reacts to give sodium aluminium silicate. The iron oxide content of bauxite is a diluent and a materials-handling problem. Expensive sodium hydroxide is lost to the tailings because of the difficulty in washing the insoluble material.

As the ferric oxide, with its variable amount of combined water, is such a nuisance, there has been some interest in using reducing agents to convert the smallest particles and the surface of the larger particles into the non-hydrated magnetite. 

I have suggested (GB patent 2 569 767) mixing ferrous sulphate (another waste) with red mud and heating, so that the reaction occurs with the alkali in the red mud to produce ferrous hydroxide, which would react with ferric oxide to give magnetite. Magnetite is not hydrated and so more readily filtered off. 

The process would neutralise most of the alkali in the red mud and the magnetite might be separated magnetically for use as iron ore. Low-grade magnetite iron ore is upgraded by magnetic separation in the USA.

There have been many proposals for the recovery of the materials from the sodium aluminium silicate of red mud. The compound is readily soluble in dilute sulphuric acid. The solution contains sodium sulphate, aluminium sulphate and colloidal silica. The colloidal silica has hitherto been difficult to remove. Fortunately, an American company offers filter membranes within a vibrating module. Gelatinous hydrated silica can now be filtered off without clogging the filters. 

I have proposed (GB patent application 2 576 266) a process, whereby the membrane-filtered sodium sulphate and aluminium sulphate solution is heated under pressure to give a precipitate of basic sodium aluminium sulphate and a solution of sodium hydrogen sulphate. This solution can be recycled to treat more red mud. There would have to be an input of sulphuric acid. Dilute sulphuric acid is readily available as a waste from many processes. The granular basic sodium aluminium sulphate can be heated with sodium carbonate solution to give insoluble basic sodium aluminium carbonate (dawsonite).
