REEL Möller has installed two new 100t/h pneumatic conveying lines at the RWE Eemshaven power plant. These are the worlds longest pneumatic conveying lines for up to 100t/h wood pellets.
Wood pellet handling
Switching fuels has implications across the power plant flow sheet. Wood pellets require different handling and safety measures than coal. They are very coarse compared to mineral bulk materials, a different, more uniform shape, abrasive and, of course, highly combustible and, for the wood pellet fines fractions, explosive.
Pneumatic conveying of wood pellets is challenging.
