Power Conveyor Transfer Point
Written by DSI Copyright 2010
Conveyor Transfer Points are a big area of concern for Power Plants. The risk of fires, explosions and meeting Fire and Safety Regulations increase significantly with PRB Coal. However, there is a Dry Fog Solution.
DSI pioneered the use of Dry Fog for PRB Coal Fired Plants in the 90s and leads that effort today. Dry Fog eliminates dust explosion risk associated with dust collection systems. The explosive waste stream is eliminated as we do not collect the dust, but simply "knock down" the airborne dust at the point of creation. Therefore, we do not create a secondary waste stream that creates a high concentration of explosive dust that is typically put back onto the conveyor belt only to create more issues downstream.
Dry Fog works by injecting sub-micron water droplets into the air at the point of dust creation. The fog droplets attach to like size airborne dust particles. The slightly wetted particles agglomerate to other particles, adding sufficient mass to settle the dust back into the conveyed product within the covered transfer point. Use at crushers, screens, coal yard & plant conveyors, including reclaim, gallery, tripper conveyors and silos.
