A 30 MW waste-wood-fired power plant in the north of England suffered regular blockages in each of the discharge chutes from the fluidised bed boiler caused by oversize ash lumps and non-ferrous tramp materials.
These blockages were causing frequent unscheduled stoppages as well as presenting a health and safety risk to the plant operators, but Greenbank Terotech had the answer.
Since the end of the 1980s, Greenbank has installed UCC Environmental’s ash handling technology into the large coal fired power generation sector, but more recently, the equipment has found a new home at several of the UK’s newly built Energy from Waste plants.
As highlighted in a new online case study, Greenbank approached the customer and proposed the addition of a UCC Excen 460 crusher into each of the discharge chute legs to eliminate the blockage problem, and you can find out more here.
