Why Use Concrete Silos to Store Coal

Image
Introduction to Coal and Storage Methods Coal is the main energy source for steam power generation, mainly composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The sum of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen accounts for more than 95% of organic matter, and is a very important energy source. It is also an important raw material for metallurgy and chemical industry, and can be classified into lignite, bituminous coal, anthracite, and semi-anthracite. In the past, coal was mostly stored in the open air, but the coal stored in this way is easy to deteriorate and lose its high combustion value, and the coal is easy to weather after being dried, and it is blown everywhere with the strong wind to pollute the environment. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of coal enterprises' requirements for automatic production, silo coal storage has been widely developed and used. The main advantages of storing coal in silos are: 1.Good environmental protection perf

Steel Silo - Best Way for Paddy Rice Storage

Image
Introduction of Paddy Rice Paddy rice is the most important and oldest food in Oryza genus. It can be ground into white rice for human consumption, and can also be used to make wine, or made into rice flour, rice bran, radish cake and other foods. Paddy rice is the staple food of more than half of the world's population. Therefore, many food processing factories, grain reserves and breweries need to store a large amount of paddy rice for use. However, the storage of paddy rice needs to meet conditions such as dryness, low temperature, and airtightness, otherwise the paddy is easy to mold and deteriorate. How to store paddy rice safely has become a concern of many manufacturers. Precautions for Paddy Rice Storage In order to ensure the quality of paddy rice, the moisture of paddy rice should be controlled before storage, and the impurities in paddy should be removed. Ventilate and cool down in time after storing paddy rice into the silo to prevent condensation and insect damage. Moi

Why Use Steel Silos to Store Fly Ash

Image
Introduction to Fly Ash Fly ash is a fine powder that is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric generation power plants. This residue, known as fly ash, is created when the mineral impurities in the coal fuse together as they come out of the combustion chamber, then cool down and harden. When mixed with lime and water, fly ash forms a compound similar to Portland cement. As we all know, fly ash plays an important role in the cement industry, medicine field, building materials field, agricultural production, etc. due to its wide distribution of raw materials, simple production process, and low cost.  In the cement industry , the use of fly ash ingredients can reduce the cost of raw materials for cement enterprises and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and the effective storage of fly ash is the first consideration. If fly ash is collected and stacked in the open air, it will not only occupy a large amount of land, but also pollute the air and groundwater at the sta

Why Choose Steel Silo to Store Flour?

Introduction of Flour Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts or seeds. Flour is used to make many different foods. Grain flour, especially wheat flour, is the main ingredient in bread, noodles, steamed buns, etc., and is a staple food in many cultures. As an indispensable food, the storage of flour has attracted the attention of many people, especially flour processing manufacturers, food factory manufacturers and large suppliers. Flour stored in traditional bags is prone to moisture and insects when stored improperly, which seriously endangers the interests of many manufacturers. Therefore, many manufacturers choose  steel silos  to store flour. Reasons to Choose Steel Silos For Flour Storage Flour should be stored in a ventilated place with low humidity. The ideal storage temperature is 18°C-24°C to keep the environment clean and reduce the breeding of pests and the reproduction of microorganisms. The use of  steel silos  to store flour can provide long-ter

Turkey earthquake highlights the necessity of seismic calculation of silo design structure

  Turkey earthquake highlights the necessity of seismic calculation of silo design structure According to China Earthquake Networks Center(CENC), two earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 struck Turkey on 6 February Beijing time. A Turkish earthquake expert has said that a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake in southeastern Turkey was so destructive that it was equivalent to the explosion of about 130 atomic bombs, according to the Turkish newspaper New Dawn. The earthquake has caused over 6,200 buildings to collapse, and as the first quake occurred in the early hours of the morning, many people were buried in debris in their sleep. What exactly caused this "stacked" "Pie-shaped" type collapse in Turkey during the earthquake? Although there are multiple factors, it is undeniable that the substandard quality of construction is one of the major reasons. In order to reduce construction costs, contractors prefer to use concrete blocks and rarely use steel, which is tasked with str
