What is Active Silicon?

 Active silicon is amorphous Silicon based soil enricher, conditioner that supplies plant available silica to plant. It improves nutrient efficiency of other fertilizers by absorbing nutrients and slowly releasing them when required. It increases water retention and provides improved aeration in soil. Plant available silica actively boosts plants ability to withstand stresses from disease, insects and environmental pressure. Collectively these benefits of Active Silicon increases yield and quality of crops and plants. Active Silicon is basically amorphous silica. This is the only growing medium that energizes and actually feeds your plants. Although Silicon is an abundant element but it is mostly locked up in crystalline form and plant available Silica is only available from amorphous Silica.

 Benefits of using active Silicon

 E            It increases plant growth, flowering and fruiting.

E            It increases crop yield and quality of crop.

E            It is rich source of Plant available Silicon.

E            It has high water holding capacity.

E            It Neutralize Aluminum toxicity

E            It unlocks Phosphate and makes it available to plant.

E            It reduces use of conventional Fertilizers from 25-40 %

E            It protects plants against insect, pests and fungal infection.

E            There is reduction in irrigation and gives drought resistance to plant.

E            It increases plants resistance to salt intoxication.

E            It increases soil porosity.

E            It gives strength to roots and stem of plant.

    E              It dramatically increases the cation exchange capacity, stimulating the absorption of nutrients.

    E            Will increase carbon sequestration.

E             The results are visible within 15-20 days initially in the form of colour of the leaves which will be darker and growth will be faster as compared to normal crops without Active Silicon.

Our Registered Brand Diatoms is a Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. We use only highest quality Diatomaceous Earth which has higher Silica content 88 % - 92 % with very low Crystalline Silica < 0.5 % and very low heavy metals which are permissible in food grade Diatomaceous Earth. Complete analysis is available with us with all the heavy metals. Please send us email for more details.

Diatomaceous Earth for Animal Feed and animal feed formulation

We manufacture High quality Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth/Diatomite Grains for application in animal feed Formulations.

Application and details 

We manufacture Micro fine Purified Diatomaceous Earth clay for fomulation of anti pimple cream and packs. The material is hand picked and micronized in a micronizer and then sterilized to bring the microbial counts in limit. The material has high amorphous silica content and less than 1 % crystalline silica and heavy metals are controlled. Due to its high absorption power it absorbs all the sebaceous liquid from pimple and makes it dry and gives fast relief from pimples. Just use it as base in your anti pimple cream formulation and see the results which it gives. For more details email us.

Lost Circulation is the most costly mud related drilling problem, and induced fracture. Water slurry of diatomite is used as the high fluid loss squeeze slurry in the treatment of lost circulation and in decreasing fluid loss. Diatomite decreases the required time for collecting the filtrate to 1 min comparing with the international standard which recommended the filtrate should be collected maximum within 2–3 min.

Drilling fluid, or mud, may be defined as any fluid that is used in a drilling operation. A drilling fluid is circulated or pumped from the surface, down the drill string, through the bit, and back to the surface via the annulus. It is the single most important part of any earth excavation exercise, especially when drilling for oil and gas. Selection of the best fluid to meet anticipated conditions will minimize well costs and reduce the risk of catastrophes such as stuck Drill Pipe, Loss of circulation, gas kick, etc 

Lost circulation is the term used to describe the condition characterized by lack of mud returning to the surface after being pumped down a well-bore. It is caused by the loss of some or the whole of the drilling fluid or mud at any depth into the natural fissures or due to high permeability of the formation or by pressure induced fractures resulting in fluid loss and there are high costs associated with replacing drilling fluids.

Many lost circulation materials are added to drilling fluids. One of the lost circulation water base mud (WBM) additives that is considered environmentally friendly is Diatomite silica. Silicates are non-toxic and are multi-functional materials that are being used in drilling mud formulations by causing changes in density, ionic strength, and charge. Diatomite silica is needed for critical drilling mud functions such as: drill-bit cooling, bit cleaning, effective cuttings removal to surface, down hole pressure control and Shale stabilization.

Diatomite can be combined with other materials such as organic fibbers to be used as a lost circulation control material in water drilling fluids. It is typically used as a rheological modifier or processing aid in a “squeeze” treatment, it has a highly permeable nature which allows it to rapidly form a plug to bridge fractures. Diatomite produce a highly porous mineral which can be used to seal wide fractures, as it will lose fluid very rapidly to provide a solid plug on which an impermeable filter cake may then form. Silica constitutes about 78–85 % of the chemical composition of the diatom frustules. Typical high fluid loss slurry contains a mixture of diatomite, bridging agents and barite suspended in either water or oil.

Almost any type of mud can be used as a carrying fluid for spotting lost circulation materials, but fluids that have extremely high filtration rates are best. Once the initial bridge forms, filtration allows the filtrate to be lost from the slurry depositing a firm filter cake within the fracture itself. This technique should be used against all types of loss zones. There are slight differences in application to these different loss zones, but the main distinction is increasing the size of the bridging agent as the loss zone becomes more severe.
