Case study

fossil-fired power plant with biomass firing

Loibl supplied and installed a complete transport line for RWE's hard coal power plant (2 x 780 MW) in Eemshaven, North Holland. These transport units transport the FGD gypsum from the flue gas desulphurisation system and the fly ash from the filter.

The scope of delivery and services included the design, calculation, construction, manufacture, assembly in the workshops, tests, delivery, transport free to the point of use, unloading, complete assembly, commissioning, complete documentation and training of the operating personnel, the trial operation and the implementation of the evidence of the assurances of the furnace ash disposal system and system components to be delivered.

The transport system from the gypsum preparation (after filter belt presses) to the gypsum warehouse is designed for a conveying capacity of 100 t / h, and for the transport from the gypsum warehouse to ship loading of 400 t / h.

All belt conveyors are set up in closed belt bridges and are easily accessible. Safety devices such as belt misalignment monitors, speed monitors and pull rope switches monitor the correct function.

The gypsum is temporarily stored in a warehouse; both storage and retrieval are carried out using a semi-portal scraper installed in the warehouse.

Loibl's scope of Supply and Services

Various belt conveyors, some of which are reversible and movable, with the necessary transfer chutes and monitoring units
1 semi-portal scraper for temporary storage of the plaster in a warehouse
1 loading silo for one truck loading
1 ship loader for loading onto ships
complete cabling of all electrical consumers and devices
