Key takeaways

Dense medium separation is a separation technique in which materials are submerged in a liquid with a specific density. Materials lighter than the liquid float to the surface, while heavier materials sink to the bottom. By adjusting the density of the liquid, different material streams can be separated with great precision.

  • Patented flotation process: Precise density control separates plastics, aluminium, magnesium and heavy metals with nearly 100% efficiency.
  • Widely applicable: Processes automotive residues (ASR), electronic waste (WEEE) and incinerated bottom ash (IBA).
  • Sustainable and cost-effective: The medium is recovered, CO₂ emissions are reduced and significant value is created for the customer.
