Coal drying best method?

Posted in: , on 6. Feb. 2008 - 17:00

Our company is looking for efficient technology of coal drying.



In our mechanical coal treatment plant in Poland we manufacture from non-sorted coal different blends acc. with end -user needs ( small and medium size power and steam plants).

Appart of steam coal we produce also recarburisers ( 5-30mm, 1200 mt/month and slag foaming ( 0-3, 0-6 mm, 700 Mt / moth).

Humidity of initial charge : abt. 20%

Humidity required: 4%



We think about production of 20 Mt / hour.



Till now we use 3 methodes of drying:

1. We fill abt. 1500 Mt of coal into concrete silo ( square) with sieve as a bottom ( floor) for abt. 4 weeks, so H2O comes down to 14-15%;



2. Than we put the coal on conrete floor and use 4-5 KW fans ( 2-3 days).



3. Than we use chamber furnace ( chamber with 4 conveyor belts and energy from coal furnace/burner).





All theese takes a lot of time and requires constant control and emplyment. That's why we would like to install new, modern reliable technology.



With Best Regards

Lf Pumping - Ultimate Dryer Of A Growing Range Of Materials

Posted on 12. Feb. 2009 - 09:14

With energy prices set to rise over the next 5 years, we know this system will be of great interest to you, either as a pre-dryer for your existing drying systems or as a standalone drying, pumping or material handling unit.

The key Points associated with this unique environmental system, compared to any known rotary, ventura, vibrating fluid bed, or static fluid bed drying systems for materials are:-

•Guaranteed energy savings, as there is no requirement for any gas, gas/oil or diesel fuels, to generate heat source to dry materials.

•Reduced carbon footprint.

•Operational advantages throughout the transportation, drying, and delivery process.

•Compact size.

•Guaranteed Low maintenance costs.

•Minimal disruption of integrating system in to current process line.

•Liquids, sludges, and aggregates up to 75mm.

•Bespoke systems can dry sand from 60% moisture content down to 0.3%.

•Bespoke systems can handle up to 500 tonnes per hour.

What materials can be dry, pump, or material handle? http://lfpumping.com/material-handling.php

We are confident that this system offers to you the very latest cutting edge technology, packed with financial and delivery savings. We look forward to discussing all your transporting, drying, crushing, and grading applications.

Drying Options

DBAGlobal (www.dbaglobal.net) has recently completed a study comparing seven different coal drying technologies for a coking coal mine in Canada.

A key component of the study was ensuring that the coal properties where not compromised while controlling moisture to 7-8%. A very interesting body of work if you are interested.

Have a look at our web site and if we can help post an enquiry and we will get back to you www.lfpumping.com We can dry without heat source and remove surface moisture content while moving the material.
