Abstract
Blue Lagoon, a well-known company in Iceland, is focused on implementing
environmentally friendly practices in its skincare line. A significant step in this direction is their
plan to start producing lava sand, a critical ingredient in their products, internally. This paper
outlines the engineering challenge of developing a system capable of converting local lava rocks
into clean lava sand. The process includes washing, crushing, and drying lava rocks. This project
combines innovative engineering techniques with sustainable practices, providing Blue Lagoon
with a system that aligns with its sustainability goals. The report includes a detailed overview of
the process of turning lava rocks into lava sand, and demonstrating the complete approach taken
to meet these objectives.
