Creating a Platform of Productivity for the Gypsum Market
Gypsum is a mineral used prevalently in the manufacture of gypsum wallboard, often referred to as plasterboard or drywall. Gypsum wallboard is used as a material in the construction industry and is being increasingly regarded as an environmentally friendly product due to its thermal insulation, sound insulation and pollutant protection characteristics. Global production of wallboard is forecast to continue to grow by 6 per cent year-on-year, for the next few years, with production rising to 8230Mm2 by the end of 2007.
In an effort to sustain the growing global demand for wallboard many of the leading operators have extended and expanded their current production facilities, whilst developing new production plants.
One of the raw materials that is now being more commonly utilised in the production of gypsum wallboard is desulphogypsum (DSG). DSG is a synthetic form of gypsum derived from fossil-fuelled sources and is being used as a viable substitute to mined gypsum. Of the many new production facilities being built around the world, most will be utilising DSG as a raw material.
In recent years, Clyde Materials Handling has developed a series of pneumatic conveying solutions, which have the ability to transport mineral gypsum, DSG and other materials and additives used in the manufacture of both wallboard and plaster.

Clyde Materials Handling has helped their global gypsum customer base transform the way in which they operate their processes, which has enabled them to generate sustainable economic benefits and maintain their positions as leaders in their market.
Clyde has used its Research, Development and Testing facility to analyse and test various materials used in the production of wallboard and plaster. By utilising this approach, Clyde Materials Handling has been able to identify the most energy efficient and economically beneficial solution to successfully conveying materials in the gypsum market.
Clyde’s pneumatic conveying solutions have been able to transport various materials in an unrestricted, controlled and continuous manner at low velocity, consuming low volumes of
compressed air.
Close customer communication has resulted in the creation of unique and innovative solutions which have been able to handle DSG, which is a notoriously difficult material to convey pneumatically. Clyde developed a pioneering conveying technology called Autoflow, which is a specially adapted solution designed to handle abrasive and arduous materials in the gypsum industry, such as pre calcined DSG, calcined DSG, oversized stucco, glass reinforced gypsum (GRG) and heat resistant accelerators (HRA). Clyde’s pneumatic conveying solutions have also handled materials such as mineral gypsum, stucco, vermiculite, perlite, edge trim and lime, which are used in the production of wallboard and plaster.
All of Clyde Materials Handling’s conveying solutions are enhanced through the use of the Clyde Dome Valve, widely regarded as the best material handling valve in the world. The Clyde Dome Valve has the ability to cut through static or moving columns of material through the use of its innovative inflatable seal mechanism, ensuring that a consistent pressure tight seal is created when the valve is in the closed position, but in the open position, it provides an unrestricted full bore opening for the best product flow possible.

Pioneering Process Improvement in Iron & Steel
In 2006, world crude steel production reached 1.24 billion metric tons, which was an 8.8 per cent increase from 2005. Over the past ten years the most remarkable growth has been in the China and Asia region, where demand for the material has also been at its strongest. In 2006, the top three steel producing countries were China, Japan and the U.S.
Steel is created by essentially combining iron ore, coking coal, limestone and hot air in a process vessel, known as a blast furnace, to produce molten iron. This molten iron is periodically tapped to produce pig iron or can be directed to a basic oxygen furnace, which treats and converts the molten iron into molten steel. Molten steel is then transported to either slab or bloom continuous casting machines where a variety of finished products are created, which include bars, billets, plates and coils.
Clyde Materials Handling has, over the past three decades, developed a range of pneumatic conveying and injection solutions that have been deployed on various iron and steel making processes, such as a blast furnace, mini blast furnace, FINEX®, COREX® and HIsmelt®. These pneumatic conveying and injection technologies have been utilised to help producers reliably, accurately and efficiently handle the raw materials required to produce steel.
In 2002, the world steel industry established a policy on sustainable development. In order to provide the industry with a systematic way of measuring their progress in fulfilling their sustainable development commitment, 11 sustainability indicators were developed which would measure the industry’s economic, environmental and social performance, which included reducing energy intensity, greenhouse gas emissions and generating material efficiency.
We, at Clyde Materials Handling, understand the importance of reducing energy per tonne of production, reducing carbon emissions, reducing non-renewable material consumption and re-using waste materials into process and are committed, as an organisation, to helping our customers in the iron & steel market create solutions that tackle these objectives.

Clyde Materials Handling’s pneumatic conveying solutions have been able to transport various materials in an unrestricted, controlled and continuous manner at low velocity, consuming low volumes of compressed air.
Clyde’s pneumatic injection solutions have been used to inject an array of materials such as iron ore, granular coal, pulverised coal, carbon, dust, charcoal, lime, plastics and recycled scraps into a range of ironmaking production processes. It is vitally important to the performance of a process that a consistent, stable and smooth feed of material is accomplished so that processes can be stabilised allowing superior levels of production returns to be attained.
Steel producers are striving to accomplish higher returns from incumbent equipment and to utilise the process to its highest level of production. To do this, many have found that exemplary injection accuracy and a stable, pulseless feed allows much higher material injection rates. Clyde is unique in its ability to provide injection rates of over 150tph and an injection accuracy of ±0.5% on short time frames, which eliminate furnace surging and inefficiency.

Energy Efficient Injection Technologies for Coal to Liquid Production Processes
In today’s economic and environmental climate, the need to source alternative methods of creating fuels has never been sharper. Oil remains one of the most sought-after commodities on the planet, which is used to power the various means of transportation that we take for granted.
However, the price of oil, which recently exceeded US$100 a barrel, together with increasing demand and political uncertainty in the most oil-rich economies has culminated in producers seeking alternative methods of producing fuels.
One such method which has gathered momentum is the coal to liquids process, which effectively treats coal using various chemical processes and converts it into a liquid. This method of creating oil from coal was pioneered in the early part of the 20th century but as the factors highlighted above become more severe the need to tap into the world’s coal reserves becomes apparent.
Conversion of coal to a liquid fuel is known as Liquefaction. Coal Liquefaction breaks the coal down into a solvent at an elevated temperature and pressure, followed by an interaction with hydrogen gas and a catalyst to produce liquid hydrocarbons. Most liquefaction processes require gasification of the coal to produce synthetic gas (“Syngas”), and then making synthetic fuels.
This method produces environmentally compatible zero-sulphur liquid fuels that are inherently cleaner than traditional forms of production.
Clyde Materials Handling has, over the past three decades, developed a range of pneumatic conveying and pneumatic injection solutions that have been deployed in various process technologies. These pneumatic conveying and injection technologies have been utilized to help producers reliably, accurately and efficiently handle the raw materials required to produce commodities. For example, Clyde Materials Handling has installed a range of coal injection systems that inject, at high velocity and at high accuracy, coal into the heart of a steel blast furnace. This technology has been further adapted to inject ore into non-ferrous metal production processes.
We, at Clyde Materials Handling, understand the importance of reducing energy per tonne of production, reducing carbon emissions, reducing non-renewable material consumption and re-using waste materials into process and are committed, as an organisation, to helping our customers in the process industry create solutions that tackle these objectives.
