Coal Storage Silo System

Shidonkou power station chooses enclosed coal storage.

Coal storage silo system.

The eurosilo system offers safe storage up to 100 000 m per unit. Recently we received the order for two 100 000 m3 coal silos to be built at the shidonkou first power plant in shanghai. Continuous reliable silo monitoring silowatch has been proven in dozens of applications worldwide providing enhanced safety and continuous monitoring. Since lipp coal storage silo is more popular and has more advantage than concrete silo.

The coal storage silo has a large volume and the land utilization rate is extremely high. The material is fed from the top into a chute through which it reaches an auger frame on the coal surface. With this order the china huaneng group initiates their shift from open and shed storage to environmentally friendly. Concrete silo and steel silo are both wildly used in coal storage concrete silos cost more money and time to built one.

Coal storage silo is a coal storage method developed in the late 50s. When the coal quantity is small the coal storage silos are arranged in a single line. The eurosilo system for coal storage consists of a concrete slip formed silo shell ranging from 30 up to 70 metres in diameter. Coal storage silo are used in some power plants and coal mines.

Concrete silos and steel silos are both usually used as coal storage silos. Coal is a very good insulator so a deep seated fire may not produce extremely high temperatures on the exterior surfaces of a silo or bunker. The steel coal storage silos are generally steel structures with a cone shell top a cylindrical silo body and an inverted cone bottom funnel. The silo can be involved in the operation scheduling of the belt conveyor system as virtual energy storage resource which can convert the energy consumption of the belt conveyor into coal potential energy for storage through the response to electricity price and further realize the decoupling of coal flow and energy flow on the time scale and eventually reduce the running cost of the belt conveyor.

Designed specific for use in coal and biomass storage silos silowatch ensures the protection of people plant and process. When the coal quantity is large the silos will be built into silo groups. A concrete silo requires a long construction period and high investment but a steel silo can be quickly built with less budgets. The silo building is erected on a concrete foundation including a concrete reclaim runnel and is covered by a structural steel roof.

Screw conveyors distribute the material evenly while the auger frame rotates. Enclosed silo storage solves these problems at the smallest possible footprint.
