Cement Plant Automation
Çimko Kahramannmaras Cement Plant Automation: Integrated Solutions for the entire Equipment
|
Turkey‘s biggest cement production line with its single kiln, put into operation in only 20 months, uses integrated solutions for the complete electrical and automation system. This article illustrates how a smooth production operation was ensured up to service and maintenance in one of the biggest cement plants of Europe. |
Silo Technology
New Clinker Storage for Irish Cement: Design and Erection of a Large Steel Silo in Limerick
|
Due to an increase in production capacity at their Limerick Works, Irish Cement Ltd. has to store part of its clinker at different places across the plant. To correct this situation, reduce its operational costs, and to comply with new environmental standards the company is currently investing in a new large clinker storage silo. |
Dust Control
Dust Management – Think Outside the Square!
|
If fugitive particulate emissions are perceived to be significant, a facility may face increased regulatory requirements, more stringent environmental licence conditions and poor community relationships, which may potentially impact on the continuing operation of the facility. |
Dust Control
Electrostatic Precipitators: Retrofitting or Replacing – Which is Best?
|
Many old gas cleaning installations using electrostatic precipitators fail to meet the current legal emission requirements. There is more than one way to solve this problem, the questions is, what is the most efficient and cost effective option for your application |
Silos, Bins & Bunkers
Uniformity is the Key- Improving Flow from a 60000 Tonne Storage Bin
|
At the Glensanda quarry, a massive bin was cut out from the hillside to store crushed stone ready for ship loading at 6000 tonnes per hour. To ensure that requirements are met and ROI is maximised, bulk solids handling specialists were continuously involved in the project to provide research data and engineering input. |
Flow Promotion & Wear Protection
New Trends in Lining
|
Properly specified UHMW-PE liners are a proven solution to bulk material flow problems. Today their installation has become much faster and easier, even for complex transition geometries due to new developments in materials, design (including 3D modeling) and fabrication. |
Stacking, Blending & Reclaiming
Ensure Reliable Flow - How to design Gravity Reclaim Stockpiles
|
Due to their economic advantages, stockpiles with gravity reclaim systems are often used where large quantities of material are handled. However, they are not free of trouble and may experience serious flow problems. But there is a proven method to ensure reliable operation, maximise storage capacity, and minimise wear and segregation. |
Silo Technology
Failure Modes of Cylindrical Corrugated Steel Silos
|
A great number of accidents and collapses happen in silos in Brazil every year. Failures range from small located damages up to the complete collapse of the structure. This paper discusses the most common accidents and structural damages in some cylindrical corrugated steel silos. The analyses are important in order to inform engineers and builders about the main recommendations for design and construction of those structures. |
Silo Technology
Aeration of Bulk Materials in Silos and Storage Tanks
|
To enable or facilitate discharge of bulk materials from silos and operating storage tanks, various types of release systems are used. Hereafter, mechanic and acoustic systems are described shortly, and pneumatic systems are presented in greater detail. |
Grain Handling
Brazil’s Grain Storage Infrastructure- Current State and Future Needs
|
Brazil is endowed with vast agricultural resources. In the last harvesting period the country produced about 134 million tons of grain and there is potential to double this number. However, to utilise this potential, Brazil’s grain storage infrastructure will have to grow and improve significantly. |
