Re: Fly Ash Bulker Unloading System
Dear sachin,
fly ash unloading system
Bulk density: 0.7 t/m3
Moisture ; <1 %
Capacity: 60 tph
Distance:35 mts,
Horizontal dis: 15 mts
Vertical distance:20 mts.
number of bends:3 nos @ 90°
bulker max pressure : 2.5 bars
Particle size (distribution) = …………….?
Particle density = ………………………?
Assuming:
-particle size = 150 micron
-particle density = 1800 kg/m3
A 6” conveying line will perform:
27 m3/min = 0.45 m3/sec : 87 tons/hr at 1.8 bar
15 m3/min = 0.25 m3/sec : 76 tons/hr at 1.8 bar
27 m3/min is a too high airflow for a 6”pipeline.
Did the suppliers also mention a pipeline size and silo filter size (which they should do)?
Can someone help me by telling how this figure was calculated.
Probably the supplier?
what type of conveying is this system.?
Dense phase.

Fly Ash Bulker Unloading System
Dear all,
Can someonwe help me out in designing a fly ash unloading system
Bulk density: 0.7 t/m3
Moisture ; <1 %
Capacity: 60 tph
Distance:35 mts,
Horizontal dis: 15 mts
Verticle distance:20 mts.
number of bends:3 nos @ 90°
bulker max pressure : 2.5 bars
What will be the requirement of air and at what pressure.
I have found many suppliers providing 27 m3/min compessor for conveying or unloading, Can someone help me by telling how this figure was calculated.
If you are having some calculations for how to calculate capacity and required volume and pressure, please send it to nsachin85@gmail.com
what type of conveying is this system.?
thanks,
Sachin. ■
