Ahmed Brothers Materials, a Ghani Group
company, joined hands with CDE Asia to employ its silica sand
beneficiation technology and achieved high-grade glass grade
silica sand for use in their glass production facilities in
Pakistan.
Background:
Ghani Group, a reputed business house of South Asia - based in Pakistan,
with interests in container glass and float glass, automobiles
manufacturing/marketing and mining of silica sand, coal and rock salt. The
group has over 50 years of business experience in the local and international
markets, especially in the glass sector. It features seven modern glass plants
in Pakistan producing container glass, float glass and value-added glass with

market share with an extensive glass container range for the pharmaceutical and
food & beverage industry. Incessant R&D, innovation, provision of
value-added glass manufacturing and fulfilling customized demands of local and
international customers have made Ghani brand a glass superpower in the region.
Partnership Approach:
On July 1st, 2021, a 0.3 MTPA customized CDE MicroGrader®
Silica Sand Processing Line was commissioned by CDE Asia at the
mining site of Ahmed Brothers Materials located in Khushab, a
city, as well as a district of Sargodha Division, located in the Punjab
province of Pakistan.
On being questioned on the intentions behind commissioning the plant,
the Company’s Director Mr. Anwaar Ahmed Khan said:
“We were looking for a high-purity silica sand processing plant to meet
the requirement of our glass production facilities. As a company with many
patented products, we knew CDE Asia would understand our requirement of in-spec
sand and provide a solution that is cost-effective and eco-friendly in its own
right.”
Plant Highlights:
·
Modular Silica Sand Processing: The commissioned
plant uses advanced wet processing technology to reduce Fe2O3, TiO2, Al2O3 and
other contaminants present in the mined silica sand without losing a
significant amount of feed material. A high-purity, silica sand grade can be
achieved, which can be used for the production of float glass or container
glass depending upon the requirement of the project.
·
Eco-Friendly Technology: The installed plant
minimizes water use (consumption: 0.28m³ per ton/hour) with recycling,
conserves power (consumption: 650 KWH), and has zero effluent discharge.
·
Easy to Install: The MicroGrader®
F70D customized plant from CDE Asia is a fully automatic system
with a modular setup with minimum geographical footprint.
Speaking of how the sand beneficiation plant will be a game-changer for
Ghani Group, Alexander Baart, Regional Director of PT CDE South-East
Asia located in Jakarta, said, “Being the leading company
in wet equipment processing industry, we are proud to have assisted a
prestigious client like Ghani Group to achieve their targeted silica sand
grade. This is our first project in Pakistan. I will ensure that we handhold
the project in terms of providing both remote and in-country service support
and making parts available through our Indonesian warehousing facility”.
Smart Technology with Internet Inside:
This project will also remain memorable as a testimony of how
well-planned collaborations based on trust and cooperation work. Although the
plant & equipment along with required utilities were already available at
the project site, Covid-19 and restrictions on international travel posed
significant challenges for the installation and commission of the project. CDE
Engineers were not allowed to travel to Pakistan due to Visa restrictions. The
entire erection and commissioning of the project were completed using the CDE
Smart Technology, a massive achievement by engineers on both sides of the
border.
CDE Asia’s Operations Manager, Sanjit Kumar added
“The MicroGrader®
F70D is preinstalled with multiple IoT sensors and internet
capability that communicates with CDE Command
Center servers throughout its operations. This allows our
customers to operate their business from anywhere in the world. They can start
& stop their plant remotely, receive a daily report of production, power
usage, water usage and more, all from the comfort of their homes. The CDE plant
is always connected with CDE Command
Center through the internet making it possible for our team to
assist our customers 365 days a year. We are grateful to Mr. Shahid
Ali, Project Head of Ahmed Brothers Materials for
trusting us with this first project in Pakistan and giving his support and
teamwork to install and commission the project remotely”.
Through this unique experience, once again we did
what we do best – solve problems through innovation, impacting businesses
positively – a win-win! .
