Case study
Special systems for gypsum and ash transport
A superlative construction site was completed in 2014 in Mannheims largest power plant. From 2009, over 60,000 t of reinforcing steel were installed in Block 9 (911 MW). 14,000 construction site cards were issued during the entire project phase. At peak times, around 2,300 employees were simultaneously on site.
When Loibl received the order for the planning, delivery, assembly and commissioning of the transport systems for wet ash, fly ash and FGD gypsum for more than 10 million euros at the end of 2009, this represented another milestone in the company's 60-year history.
The gypsum produced during desulphurization is loaded onto ships using special conveyor belts, an intermediate stockpile with a portal scraper and a ship loader. Wet ash as well as dry or moistened fly ash are also shipped via the ship loader on the waterway.
Loibl's scope of Supply and Services
- Complete wet ash conveying system starting after the wet ash machine including fully automatic storage in the wet ash store
- Outsourcing and transport to the ship loader
- Ship loading with movable conveyor belt and telescopic loader
- Complete dry ash loading system starting with the dry ash silo, silo discharge and pneumatic conveying as well as ship loading via telescopic loader
- Ash moistening system for dust-free loading
- Complete gypsum handling starting after the belt filters via belt conveyor and automatic storage and retrieval via full portal scrapers
- Transport to ship loading, which takes place on a movable conveyor belt with telescopic loader
- Around 1,000 t of steel construction consisting of belt bridges, corner towers and ship loading buildings
- Complete electrical and control technology for full portal scrapers and ship loading, with electrical rooms and control stations
