Coal Yard Expansion for High Sulfur Coal
A new 32,000 ton high sulfur coal stockpiling and reclaim system was added to an existing coal yard to allow the client to segregate and stockpile low and high sulfur coals.
The project included the following:
- Modifications to install a fixed tripper on an existing belt conveyor
- Three new 42”, 800 TPH belt conveyors
- Two transfer towers
- A 42”, 800 TPH fixed stacker
- Three gyrating drawdown hoppers and vibratory feeders located in a concrete reclaim pit and tunnel
- Modifications to the existing crusher tower
As part of the project a new PLC based control system with redundant processors and fiber communications replaced the existing hard-wired controls for the entire coal handling system.
Varo performed the structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering for the project, and furnished the equipment and structural steel as a supplier to the general contractor.
