Concrete Coal Bunker
Case Study Outline:
Application: 140ft. high concrete bunker divided into 4 quadrants with each quadrant divided into 4 hoppers. Liners were installed in 2 of the quadrants.
Liner: TIVAR 88-2
Bulk Material: PRB Coa
Problem: Rat-holing, plugged discharge, and erratic flow conditions. TIVAR 88-2 Liners Eliminate Flow Restriction, Adhesion in Coal Bunker
Background:
Large steel making facility was concerned about slow downs in production.
Problem:
The coal mixture would adhere to the concrete walls and to the glass tiled sloping surfaces. This resulted in a plugged discharge and missed charges in the coal furnace.
Solution:
TIVAR 88-2 liners were engineered and fabricated to fit into existing concrete hopper and discharge chute. Existing glass tile was removed prior to installation of liner
Result:
Large steel making facility was concerned about slow downs in production.
IMPORTANT: Design, fabrication and installation of TIVAR 88-2 lining systems are engineered by Plastruct Canada Inc. It is crucial for a successful result that we analyze and provide a professional approach to the problem. Our experience in handling the toughest lining situation has proven itself.
