Why Use Circular Stockyard System to Store Coal?

Coal is the main energy source for thermal power generation. It is mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and other elements. It is also an important raw material for metallurgy, chemistry and other industries. With the continuous improvement of coal enterprises' requirements for automated production and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, the traditional open-air coal storage method has gradually been eliminated, and coal storage in silos or bulk material stockyards has been widely developed and used. Today we mainly understand circular stockyard coal storage system to store coal.

Introduction to Circular Stockyard

The top of circular stockyard is a spherical grid structure, and the bottom is a reinforced concrete retaining wall. The advantage of the spherical grid structure is that it can build large-span and large-diameter covered sheds. It is an extremely stable rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure composed of geometrically patterned interlocking struts. The circular raw material stockyard uses a central reclaimer to complete the stacking and reclaiming operations. The diameter of circular stockyard is generally between 60 and 120m. The cantilever stacker on top of the center column can rotate and tilt within 360 degrees around the center column.

Circular Coal Storage Yard Application

With the increasing requirements for environmental protection, the control of dust pollution in coal storage yards of thermal power plants has been put on the agenda. Circular coal storage yards are increasingly used by power plants due to their advantages such as large reserves, high environmental protection, fully automatic operation, and reduced coal loss during storage. The diameter of circular coal storage yard can be comprehensively determined based on technical and economic analysis based on site conditions, geological construction conditions, storage capacity requirements and project investment.

Environmental Protection of Circular Coal Storage Yard

As the environmental protection requirements for industry are getting higher and higher, circular stockyards have significant advantages in this regard. The reason is that it is a sealed system itself, and it takes many measures to control dust:

(1)The stacking arm adopts a pitching mechanism, and the stacking arm tilts down when starting to stack, thus reducing the height at which the coal falls;

(2)Use spray dust suppression when stacking coal;

(3)When stacking coal, the stacking arm drops coal along the original coal pile, so the height of coal dropping is very small and the dust is very small;

(4)Although natural ventilation is adopted, the height of the ventilation holes on the grid has been scientifically calculated so that the gravity of the coal dust at this point is greater than the buoyancy, and dust overflow will not occur.

Economic Efficiency of Circular Coal Storage Yard

1.The circular coal storage yard occupies a small area and has high site utilization rate.

2.Easy, fast and safe installation.

3.Advanced and reliable equipment with high degree of automation.

4.Low investment cost, stacking and reclaiming operations can be carried out continuously and simultaneously.

Large-diameter Concrete Silo for Coal Storage

Image
During the coal washing process, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, various types of coal storage silos need to be built, including raw coal silos, clean coal silos, etc. In recent years, the environmental protection pressure on coal preparation plants has increased day by day. In the new development environment, large-diameter coal storage silos can not only significantly increase the capacity of   coal storage silos , but also have the advantages of good structural integrity, long application time, and low maintenance. This plays an important role in promoting the development of coal preparation plants. Concrete Silo Introduction Coal silos are silos used to store coal in industrial buildings such as cement, steel, and electricity. The  concrete silo  is a deep silo with a diameter of up to 25m and a simple silo capacity of 20,000 m3. It adopts a structural form supported by reinforced concrete walls and internal columns. The bottom of this silo is flat, because the s

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
