MGT Power is developing a wood chip / hog fuel unloading facility as part of a large power project. The quay will need to unload 5 million cubic meters per annum of wood chip, or approximately 30,000 m3 per 24 hour working day. This fuel will be delivered in panamax vessels, ie approx 1 vessel per week.
We are trying to identify companies which have experience with the design of such facilities or the supply of equipment for these type of facilities.
Our outline concept is to use 2/3 grabbing cranes which discharge either to concrete pad, road vehicle, or lastly to a conveyor, via a hopper. We are very cautious about the use of hoppers due to the risk of bridging with a poorly designed hopper.
The fuel will have a broad range of particle size, and moisture content from 20% to 60%. ■
