Green side of black coalLooks paradoxical, but hard

or black coal might be green as itcan have low content of harmful

elements and detrimentalimpurities, which means low level of emissions to the

atmosphere. In comparison to other coal grades, greencoal or, differently, eco-coal allows consumers to burn it

with significantly less harmful emissions whatevertechnology they apply. Although such coal is rather

considered as rare premium coal, some companies areable to supply it. One of those companies is EcoCarbon

Limited, a global trader of high-quality multi-origin coal.The company offers to the international market onlyeco-grades, which stand out for their unique quality

characteristics, ensuring the safe use of coal.

Based on tentative indications,downwards pressure oncommodity import demand

caused by pandemic effects may haveeased. While many reductions areevident, strength is prominentelsewhere, limiting the downturn inworld seaborne dry bulk trade in 2020as a whole, and there are prospects fora pick up next year.

In its mid-September update of theoutlook for global economic activity, theOECD organization suggested that GDPgrowth of 5% in 2021 is a plausibleexpectation. If achieved, this would bea solid revival following the currentyear's estimated 4.5% decline. Butpredictions are heavily dependent onhow the Covid-19 virus unfolds, and alsoon government's economic policies.

GRAIN & SOYA

After a period of remarkably strongexpansion now apparently ending,prospects for grain and soya trade in thetwelve months ahead remain positive.In the soyabeans and meal segment,recent US Department of Agriculturecalculations show an estimated 19mt(million tonnes) or 9% increase in worldtrade to 225mt in marketing year2019/20, which has just ended. In2020/21 now starting, a small 1% rise isforeseen.

As shown in table 1, a largeproportion of the overall growth amongimporters in the past twelve months hasbeen contributed by China. From82.6mt in 2018/19, China's soyabeans

and meal imports apparently reboundedby 15.4mt (19%) to 98.0mt in 2019/20.Recovering livestock numbers result inmuch higher feed usage and soyaconsumption. Other countries aroundthe world also purchased largervolumes. In the period ahead theupwards trend could be more muted.

IRON ORE

Plummeting output in numerous steelproducing countries is likely to result inlower raw materials consumption andpurchases this year. Iron ore importsinto Japan, South Korea and theEuropean Union are expected to fallsharply but, conversely, imports intoChina are set to expand amid increasedsteel usage and production.

Fresh estimates prepared byAustralian Government analysts,published at the end of last month,suggest that China's strength may beenough to lift global iron ore trade by62mt (4%) to 1616mt in 2020. Thisvolume includes land movementsalthough it is mostly seaborne. Becausethe Chinese share is over two-thirds ofthe total, a forecast rise of 8% therecould more than offset extensivereductions in other countries.

COAL

Unfavourable influences affecting coaltrade have intensified this year, witheffects from the pandemic-inducedglobal economic downturn exacerbatingweaknesses already visible. Amongimporting countries, signs of reduced

annual volumes in 2020 are prominent,with few exceptions.

According to the latest AustralianGovernment estimates, world steamcoal trade may decline by 63mt (6%) to1043mt in 2020. A sharper decline inmetallurgical coal trade is predicted,with the total falling by 41mt (12%) to296mt. These contractions reflect fallsin the main Asian importing countries,and among others. An especially largedecline in India is forecast.

MINOR BULKS

Although many parts of the minor bulkcommodity trade segment areexperiencing weakness this year, thepattern is not uniformly negative. Oneexception is bauxite — some estimatespoint to a sizeable increase in the worldseaborne trade total to possibly over140mt in 2020. Higher bauxite importsinto China, where the January–Julyvolume was 5% higher at 69.3mt, areboosting activity.

BULK CARRIER FLEET

Within the world bulk carrier fleetPanamax ships are about one-quarter ofdeadweight capacity. For statisticalpurposes these ships are defined as65–99,999dwt. This fleet is expected togrow quite rapidly in 2020, by about5%, as shown in table 2. Mostnewbuilding deliveries are in theKamsarmax 80–89,999dwt sub-group,and the total volume is likely to remainhigh, while only a small offset fromscrapping is evolving.

Coal as an eco-friendly product

COAL PHASE-OUT: FROM CLIMATE

PROTECTION TO TRADE PROTECTIONISM

Nowadays an increasing number ofcountries forced by environmentalorganizations are announcing their plans toabandon coal, writes Sergey Belozerov, CCO,EcoCarbon. Fossil fuels, primarily coal, andgreenhouse gases generated during itscombustion have been declared the maincause of global warming and a seriousthreat to human existence.

Europe plans to become the firstclimate-neutral union of countries in theworld by 2050. The European Green Dealwill require a radical change in all sectors ofthe European economy and, above all, thedecarbonization of the energy sector. AllEuropean countries are going to abandoncoal generation by 2035–2038.

What is on the agenda is to increase theshare of renewables and to develop the useof hydrogen energy. The outlined plansrequire huge financial investments

estimated at one trillion euros over thenext ten years. Those funds are supposedto be raised by the so-called Carbonborder adjustment mechanism — a tax ongoods from countries that do not share theEU goals and do not take similar measuresto combat CO2 emissions, and where theproduction chain includes the generationof electricity from fossil fuels.

It seems that theprimary task of the newEU green policy is not aconcern for the futureof the planet, but apretty cold calculationto maintain a highstandard of living andto increase thecompetitiveness of theirown economies at the expense ofresource-rich countries with a cheaperlabour. All stories and speculations aboutthe threats of global warming and the harm

of fossil fuels look like competent, well-elaborated PR activities.

MYTHS AND REALITY OF CLIMATE CHANGES

Fluctuations in temperature andconcentration of greenhouse gases havetaken place many times in the history ofour planet. Those fluctuations have beenconfirmed by scientific research of varioussediments, ice cores, etc. In addition,

chronicles and paintings preservedevidence of various temperature cycles inEurope in the 10th to 19th centuries, longbefore a modern industrial society wasformed and the intensive use of fossil fuelsbegan.

Scientists haveresearched the MedievalWarm Period in theNorthern Hemisphere inthe 10th to 13thcenturies. During thisperiod with mild winters

and relatively warm and even weather,Europe witnessed the growth ofpopulation, the expansion of agriculturalland and an increase in yields. Specifically,grain crops in Norway were harvested asfar as the Arctic Circle; chronicles mentionwinemaking in the south of Scotland duringthis time. Because of glacier shrinkage, theVikings permanently populated Iceland(870) and Greenland, which was coveredwith vegetation when it was firstdiscovered by the Norse Vikings led by Ericthe Red (986). Consequently, the island gotits name with a meaning ‘Green Land’.

Then came Little Ice Age which lastedover the 14th to the 19th centuries. Astable snow cover began to form in Englandstarting from the fall of 1313, and in France— from the fall of 1314, for the first timesince the middle of the 9th century. Heavyrains and unusually harsh winters killedcrops and froze fruit orchards in England,Scotland, Northern France and Germany.Scotland and Northern Germany stoppedgrowing grapes and producing wine.

The average annual temperature in the17th century in Europe reached multi-yearlows. Greenland — the ‘Green Land’ —started to be covered with glaciers, andViking settlements disappeared from theisland. Folks were sledging along theThames and the Danube rivers. TheMoskva River was a safe site for holdingfairs for half a year. Even the southern seaswere frozen. Severe and long wintersbecame a common occurrence in the southof Europe, and the Bosphorus was

repeatedly frozen within the period from1621 till 1669.

The last temperature rise cycle beganaround 1700, and it could not be a matterof industrial impact in those days. The CO2emissions rise caused by human activitiesbegan around 1850 (Figure 1). Thus, thetemperature rise within the period from1700 to 1850 could in no way be attributedto the man impact. A closer look totimespan from 1850 onwards reveals nopositive correlation between CO2emissions deriving from human activity andtemperature rise during the period underreview. The periods of growth intemperature were alternated with theperiods of its decline despite thecontinuous increase in CO2 concentration.Furthermore, the period of growth in1860–1880, 1910–1940 and 1975–1998have the same slope, which means the samerate of warming, while the increase inhuman-made CO2 concentration is notconstant and significantly accelerates onlyafter 1945.

After stumbling up againsttemperature’s inconvenient dependence onCO2, or, rather, lack thereof, the so-calledclimate establishment chose to make someadjustments to inconvenient ‘historicaldata’. In order to do so, over the course ofthe last several years, the moment of thestart of the latest warming cycle wasgradually reconsidered — it was moved to1910 in order to explain the increase intemperature by an increase in CO2concentration, the temperature peak

during the Medieval Warm Perioddisappeared and the temperatures of thelast century were raised exaggeratedlyhigh. As a result, the famous hockey stickgraph, demonstrating a sharp increase intemperature since the beginning of the20th century at the same time as anincrease in CO2, came to be. Later, in 2006,geophysicist David Deming announced at ameeting of the US Senate Committee onEnvironment and Public Works that inworkplace correspondence a leadingclimatologist insinuated the following tohim word for word: “We have to get rid ofthe Medieval Warm Period.”

The press often circulates the opinionthat scientists have reached a «consensus»on the issue of global warming. However,this is far from the case. Scientists fromChina, Russia, and India have repeatedlycited scientific evidence that there is noclear evidence linking human-inducedincreases in CO2 concentration to globalwarming. Western climate scholars areoften forced to keep pace with the policiesof government-funded institutions.Dissenters at best don’t get promoted, atworst they get fired. Propaganda sounds atthe highest level of government. It isenough to recall Al Gore’s movie AnInconvenient Truth, in which a politicianconvinces viewers that temperatureincreases are directly correlated with, andeven dependent on, rising CO2concentrations. However, it is important tomention that changes in temperature occursubstantially earlier than corresponding

changes in CO2 concentration, i.e. theincrease in temperature or warming leadsto an increase in the concentration of CO2,rather than vice versa.

Presently, we measure temperature withland thermometers, but their data arehardly comparable with those used toestimate the temperature centuries ago. Asa result it is not possible to assert that thecurrent temperature is higher or even thesame than that in the Medieval WarmPeriod.

Actually allcontemporary data onclimate are censoredand intentionallymisinterpreted justin order to misleadpeople and allow theclimate establish -ment to ensure thattheir views on appliedtechnologies dominate.

We are now experiencing a phase ofglobal warming that is likely to revert to acooling phase in a few decades. Manyscientists have suggested that there is noconvincing scientific evidence thatanthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide,methane, or other greenhouse gases maycause catastrophic warming of the Earthand the climate destruction in theforeseeable future. For example, the ocean,which covers 4/5 of the planet’s surface,emits almost 100 times as much carboninto the atmosphere every year as allindustry on Earth combined. The reasonfor that is changes in temperature on theplanet. However, despite a number of factsthat contradict the theory ofanthropogenic impact on global warming,the issue has long since moved from thescientific field to the political field and hasbecome an instrument of economicwarfare.

UNBIASED APPROACH TO ENERGY MIX

This is not to say, of course, that there is noneed to develop the use of renewableenergy and to improve energytechnologies. You just have to understandthat every energy technology, whethercoal, gas, nuclear, hydro, solar or wind, hasboth advantages and disadvantages. It isimportant to find the right balance in theiruse in each case.

For example, natural gas makes up asimilar amount of greenhouse gasemissions as coal, if we take into account allgas losses happening from the moment ofits production till combustion rather thanthe amount of CO2 emitted duringcombustion only.

The output ofhydropower plantsdepends on annualprecipitation, whichvaries from year to year.Solar and wind power plants cannotprovide sustainable and continuous energysupply. To ensure its failure-free operation,accumulators are required, which meansenergy generation from renewables needsfunctional backup power systems, nomatter what the weather is.

A striking example of consequences due toblind trust in renewables is rolling poweroutages in California during an extremeheatwave in August 2020. The CaliforniaIndependent System Operator (CAISO) hasbeen warning for many years that growingdependence on unreliable renewables maylead to interruptions with power supply.Currently, renewables provide for 36% of powerneeds for California, and the Democratic Partyis intent on increasing it to 60% and 100% by2030 and 2045 respectively. Along withincreasing the role of renewables, Californiawas abandoning gas-fuelled power plants, shutdown one of two nuclear power stations andmade up the power deficiency by importingenergy from neighbouring states which werealso developing renewables and closing coal-fired power plants. As a result, when in 2020the US West Coast faced the heatwave, thecapacity of renewables was not enough tohandle sudden increase in load. Theneighbouring states were not able to shareenergy as they were also lacking it, whiletraditional and reliable coal-fired plants wereshut down. Therefore, to supply the state withenough hydroelectricity, they had to urgentlyopen Glen Canyon Dam floodgates on theColorado River. They were lucky that storagereservoirs held enough water after somewhatsnowy winter.

Developing battery production

technologies will definitely help addressthe issue with the disrupted wind and solarpower generation, but it will cost additionalmoney and time.

According to calculations one 85kWhTesla’s battery needs 25–50 tonnes ofvarious ores to be mined and processed inorder to extract copper, nickel, cobalt,lithium and rare earth elements. Inaddition, it takes 10–18MWh of energy tobuild a battery from extracted materials. Itmeans it will emit at least 15–20 tonnes ofCO2 in the atmosphere under thecondition that 50% of renewables are inuse. Moreover, one battery contains thesame amount of energy as 30kg of coal! Asa result, the process of mining necessarymaterials and building a battery willproduce much more greenhouse gases thanif we generated the same amount of energyfrom a pile of coal, to say nothing of thecost.

According to the Energy InformationAdministration, capital expenses on theconstruction of a solar power plant withthe battery system are at least 50% higherthan in case of a new gas-fuelled powerplant. Besides, any gas or coal-fuelledpower plant has a longer lifecycle (30+years) compared to battery life (10+ years).

Also, used batteries, solar panels andturbines should be utilized after theexpiration date. For example, based onIRENA (International Renewable EnergyAgency) and IEA (International EnergyAgency) calculations, up to 8mt (milliontonnes) of photovoltaics waste mayaccumulate globally by 2030, and by 2050the volumes of end-of-life solar panels willhave increased up to 60–78mt.

These words are written not against thedevelopment of renewable energytechnologies. But it should be borne inmind that there is a huge number of much

more hazardous industriesthan coal mining, such as,for example, plasticproduction. Every yearfrom 8–13mt of plasticwaste ends up in theworld’s ocean. In total,570,000 tonnes of plasticare accumulated in theMediterranean Sea annually. Basedon WWF calculations, this equates to33,800 plastic bottles being discarded in thesea, with each bottle taking at least 500years to decompose. However, fewmodern parents, for example, want torevert to previous generations and lose theconvenience of disposable diapers. Andhow many million tonnes of additionalmedical waste will have to be recycled as aconsequence of the coronavirus pandemic?Polyethylene gloves and masks will also takemany hundreds of years to decompose,unless relevant disposal technologies areapplied.

This does not mean that the issues ofclimate and environmental pollution shouldbe neglected or ignored. On the contrary,they should be brought into focus of closeconsideration, but fanaticism of individualcountries that declared whole industrieshazardous for its own political andeconomic benefits is unacceptable.Moreover, developing countries cannotafford expensive shifting from fossil fuels torenewables in the power sector and otherindustries, as they have to solve moreserious problems such as poverty for

example. Under those circumstances, coal

turns out to be a reliable source ofenergy for both developing countries andadvanced economies. Developingcountries, which require more and moreenergy due to the increase in population,simply do not have enough funds to investin costly green technologies, but they still

need to ensure high economic growth.Developed countries need reliable back-upreplacement in case renewable energysources cannot handle the load.

GREEN SIDE OF BLACK COAL

It seems paradoxical, but hard or black coalmight be green as it can have a low contentof harmful elements and detrimentalimpurities, which means low levels ofemissions to the atmosphere. Incomparison to other coal grades, greencoal or, differently, eco-coal allowsconsumers to burn it with significantlyfewer harmful emissions whatevertechnology they apply.

Although such coal is rather consideredas rare premium coal, some companies areable to supply it. One of those companiesis EcoCarbon, a global trader of high-qualitymulti-origin coal. The company offers tothe international market only eco-grades,which stand out for their unique qualitycharacteristics. Low content of sulphur incoal, supplied by the company, result inlower SO2 emissions, while low ash levelslimit emissions of toxic elements andmetals both in slag and in fly ash, which is

carried along with smoke into theatmosphere. The content of radioactiveelements, such as uranium and thorium, isalso at the low level, which ensures the safeuse of coal.

According to corporate policies, allparticipants involved inthe coal supply chainundertake to introducemethods and tech -nologies that promotecareful and efficient useof natural resources, preventpollution, provide emission control andmine reclamation.

Being an eco-friendly companycommitted to the principles of ethical coal,EcoCarbon is determined to minimize anynegative impact on the environment and tocomply with applicable laws, regulations andother environmental managementrequirements applied in different countriesand conformed to the local communities.

Imports into European countries are alarge part of the world coal market,reflected in numerous cargoes for bulkcarriers and activity at bulk commodityhandling ports in the region. Yet thismarket segment has diminished rapidly inthe past few years and, in 2020, a furtherfall in the annual coal volume imported ispredictable. Negative signs are prominent,probably resulting in extended weaknessamid intensifying emphasis on using cleanerenergy sources.

Despite this receding role, imports intothe European Union plus United Kingdomcomprised about 9% of the global seabornecoal trade total last year. The largestproportion of volumes received byEuropean countries is steam coal, usedmainly in power stations, contributingabout two-thirds. Coking coal for steelindustry comprises the remainder. Adverseinfluences in both categories have been

accentuated this year by the effects of thecoronavirus pandemic on demand for theproducts of all industries consuming coal.

The biggest individual Europeanimporter is Germany, as shown in the table.This country forms over one-third of theregional volume. Other major buyers areFrance, Italy, Netherlands and Spain, whichtogether also have a share of over one-third. The United Kingdom was previouslya top buyer but is now a minor player,resulting from the closure of most coal-fired power stations amid a shift towardsrenewable energy supplies.

WEAKENING SUPPORT

Coal consumption and imports areinfluenced by the broad macro-economictrends affecting energy usage in Europe,although government policy evolution isnow often a more visible factor. Currently,macro-economic aspects are dominant,

because of the abrupt and unexpectedslump caused by government measuresintroduced to control the coronaviruspandemic. An exceptionally severerecession is under way in 2020, andprospects for a recovery next year are stilltentative and greatly dependent on howthe health crisis unfolds.

According to the latest world economyoutlook published by the OECDorganization in mid-September, grossdomestic product in the Eurozone couldrecord a steep fall during this year as awhole. A reduction of almost 8%,compared with the previous twelvemonths, is forecast, while in the UK, aneven larger 10% fall is indicated.

Next year there is potential for a revivalto follow, with possible GDP growth of 5%and 8% in the Eurozone and UKrespectively. But these forecasts aretentative. As the OECD economists point

out “the outlook is subject to considerableuncertainty and projections are dependenton assumptions about the spread of theCovid-19 virus and policy developments”.

Economic activity across Europe isreceiving enormous support from changesin fiscal and monetary policy. Increasedpublic spending, lower taxes and lowerinterest rates are bolstering manybusinesses and employment. But it remainsunclear what progress towards recoverycan be achieved over the balance of thisyear and through 2021, given fragileconsumer and business confidence whileawaiting a solution to the health problem.

The downturn into deep recession ishaving a large impact on energy usage and,in turn, on coal consumption. In the steamcoal segment, lower use of power byindustries affected by reduced demand fortheir products affects electricity generationand, in some countries, coal-fired powerplants are affected. In the coking coalsegment, much diminished steel productionis having a noticeable impact.

LOWER IMPORTS

Coal imports into the European Union(including UK) in 2019 continued declining,with a large reduction in the annual volume.All the major importing countries recordeddecreases and the pattern is persisting in2020, probably resulting in an even largeroverall contraction. Signs mostly point to adownwards longer term trend, although avigorous rebound in economic activity nextyear, if that occurs, could lead to a flatteningor partial reversal.

Seaborne imports of coal into theEU+UK last year totalled 115mt (milliontonnes), a decline of 22mt or 16%compared with the previous twelvemonths, based on Clarksons Research dataand Bulk Shipping Analysis calculations,summarized in the table. France and Spainsaw especially marked reductions. This2019 weakening followed a 6% fall in thetotal to 137mt during the preceding year.

EU imports within the coking coalsegment have been relatively stable inrecent years. The 2019 volume of just over

38mt was about 3% below that of theprevious twelve months. By contrast, in thelarger steam coal component last year a fallof 21mt or over one-fifth, to 76mt wasseen. Coking coal is supported by itsfunction as an essential ingredient of steelproduced by the blast furnace/pig ironprocess. Steam coal, however, is morevulnerable to substitution by other fuels orrenewable energy in electricity generation.

From about 15% of global seabornetrade five years ago, annual EU coal importsare now down by about one-third and theproportion of the total has diminished. Thisregion is by far the weakest performeramong the world’s major importers, mainlyas a result of tougher Europeanenvironmental policies than seenelsewhere.

IMPORTER VARIATIONS

Among individual European coal importers,Germany is the largest even though itsannual volume has fallen by about one-fifthover the past five years. In 2015 seabornesteam and coking coal received by Germanpower stations, steel mills and other userstotalled 52.3mt, comprising 31% of the EUquantity. After a cumulative decline of over10mt to 41.7mt in 2019, Germany stillcomprised the biggest percentage share ofthe overall EU volume, at 36%.

Another notable decline was seen inItaly over the past five years, from 19.7mt in2015 to 11.2mt in 2019, a 43% reduction.Spain’s steam coal imports saw a steep fallfrom 16.3mt to 7.1mt, a 66% reduction. Inthe Netherlands, a 19% fall from 17.0mt to13.8mt was recorded, while in France therewas a 21% decrease from 12.4mt, to 9.8mt.

In the category labelled ‘other EU’,annual coal imports were reduced byalmost 22mt or 41% during the 2015 to2019 period, down to 31mt. Early in thisperiod of five years UK imports wereplummeting, reflecting extensive UK coal-fired power station closures accompanyinga rapid shift towards alternative fuels andrenewable energy supplies, especially wind-generated electricity.

Since then numerous coal-fired plants

have been closed or idled in manycountries, affecting coal usage and importsadversely. The EU steam coal marketconsequently was especially weakened asconsumption fell. In 2019 this wasattributed by Euracoal, the EuropeanAssociation for Coal and Lignite, to highlevels of Emissions Trading System priceswhich effectively rendered coaluncompetitive against other energysources.

Annual domestic coal productionchanges in the EU now have only a limitedimpact on import demand, because thisoutput is much smaller. Extensive closuresof uneconomic mines in recent years havebeen a feature. Among coal importingcountries, hard coal production is mostlyconfined to Poland, together with lignite(brown coal) production in both Polandand Germany.

Figures provided by Euracoal show thatin 2019 Germany produced 131mt oflignite but hard coal production was nil.Poland’s output was 50mt lignite plus 62mthard coal. The only other significantquantity was 2.2mt of hard coal outputfrom the remaining UK mines. Elsewherein importing countries domesticproduction had ended.

Consequently trend changes inconsumption of coal have become theprincipal influence affecting Europeancountries’ purchases on the internationalmarket. Steel mills’ consumption of, andimport demand for, coking coal hasremained fairly flat, broadly reflecting steelproduction progress. In the steam coalsegment, energy market developmentsdriven by government policy decisionswere the biggest influence on coal use andimports.

During the first half of 2020 electricitygeneration from coal diminished greatly inEurope, as shown by calculations byindependent climate think tank Ember.Within this period renewables — wind,solar, hydro and biofuels — generation inthe EU-27 area was 11% above that of lastyear’s same period, contributing two-fifthsof total power generation.

contribution (which was also affected bythe pandemic) fell by 32%, declining to ashare of about one-tenth. In someindividual countries even larger percentagefalls in coal generation were seen: Spain sawa 58% decline, while in Portugal thereduction was 95%.

These changes in the first six months of

2020 may have been distorted by theeffects of the pandemic-induced severerecession in Europe. So it is not entirelyclear whether this pattern of energysupplies for power generation will persist,or whether perhaps a partial returntowards preceding shares will be seen.However, the recent changes emphasize

the direction of changing circumstances andthe downwards pressures on coal use inpower stations.

As a geographical extension of the‘European’ area, Turkey is a significant coalimporter, receiving large annual volumes inrecent years. The 2019 total was 25.3mt, a3% reduction from the previous twelve

months, although about a tenth higher thanfive years earlier. About three-quarters issteam coal for mainly power station use.

SHAPED BY POLICY

A long-established environmental policypriority of the European Union is that ofpromoting cleaner energy resources. Theaim is to reduce air pollution, and cutgreenhouse gas emissions by decarbonizingenergy-consuming activities. Large-scalecoal-fired power stations were targetedand phased-out. These have beensubstituted by gas-fired units and, especiallyduring the past few years, a more intenseemphasis on renewable energy, particularlywind power generation has become afeature.

As a result coal now has a lower shareof electricity generation within the EU,falling below 20%. The remainder iscomprised of natural gas and nucleargeneration, and the accompanying rapidlyexpanding renewables sector, includinghydro-electric power supplies, windgeneration and input from solar power. Butthe renewables contribution is not entirelyreliable, as it is dependent upon weatherconditions over which there is no control.So ‘baseload’ generation is still needed, butcoal is being eliminated from this category.

European Union members have agreedpolicy measures — the Emissions TradingScheme, air pollution directives andrenewable energy targets — which affecthow much coal is used. Focusing on

sustainability has been the prime driver,mitigating climate change in particular.More attention has been given to otheraspects such as energy security andindustrial competitiveness. Although powersector decarbonization is a priority, the EUstill has many import-dependent coal-firedplants operating, ensuring a substantial butdeclining steam coal market in the mediumterm.

Several EU member countries haverevealed plans to cease power generationfrom coal by a set date during the periodup to 2030. In France, Italy, Netherlandsand in the UK deadlines have beenannounced within the 2022–2029 period.In Germany, which has the largest coal-firedplant sector, a later target date of 2038 forphasing out electricity generation fromboth hard coal and lignite has beenproposed.

Aiding this evolution is the falling cost ofrenewable energy technology, reflectingcommercial influences rather than regionalpolicy measures. Improved wind and solarpower efficiency and often lower costs arealtering the economics and perceptions offuture energy supplies. But, in a number ofcountries, closing coal-fired power stationsis still a longer-term process. Alternativeson the large scale required to replace thiscapacity could take many years toimplement.

A RECEDING VISTA

Recent signs suggest that seaborne coal

imports by the EU plus UK in 2020 as awhole could be down by at least 25mt, tobelow 90mt, a 20-25% decline. Underlyingweakness seems likely to continue throughnext year, although a temporary flatteningor even an upturn may unfold in 2021, if theregional economy is recovering from theeffects of the coronavirus pandemic.Greater industrial activity could support, inparticular, steel production and coking coalconsumption.

An estimate published by Germany’simporters’ group VDKi a couple of monthsago reportedly pointed to a plummetingannual coal imports volume in 2020.Reflecting this viewpoint the total, mostlycomprising seaborne movements, may fallby up to 40%. Coal burn is at depressedlow levels because of weak power demand,coupled with intensified competition fromgas-fired plants benefiting from low gasprices and high carbon prices. Steam coalimports are estimated to be in the range of17.5–22.5mt, much below last year’s total.

Elsewhere among other individualEuropean coal importing countries, positiveindications are uniformly absent. Moreemphasis on environmental imperatives,accompanied by the adverse impact onenergy demand of the severe economicrecession now evolving, has reduced coalpurchases in the main consumingindustries. The timing and strength of any,possibly temporary, revival from this year’sfall in imports is difficult to predict in thecurrent unusual circumstances. DCi

SOME THINK STORAGE HANDLING ONLY WORKS WITH DUMPERS. WE THINK DIFFERENT.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) has issued updated protocols toensure safe crew change during theCovid-19 pandemic.

The Framework of Protocols was firstissued on 5 May 2020 and has now beenrevised, with the principle purpose ofemphasizing the need for compliance andstrict adherence with Covid-19 testing andquarantine requirements, reflecting thatthese are now a reality in many nationaljurisdictions.

The changes also reinforce theimportance of seafarers not commencingor continuing to travel if they feel unwell orsuspect that they may have Covid-19symptoms.

Some additional recommendations havealso been included to prevent infection onboard when seafarers join their ship.

With the exception of a few minoreditorials, no other substantive changeshave been made.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Limexpressed his support for these Protocolsand urged their implementation.

Member States and internationalorganizations are invited to make use of the

Framework and to disseminate it amongrelevant national authorities withresponsibility, inter alia, for maritime issues,health, customs, immigration, border

control, seaport and civil aviationauthorities; and to liaise with relevantnational authorities with respect to its useand implementation, as appropriate.

In August this year, diver/technicians fromHydrex carried out several scrubberoverboard pipe repairs in Rotterdam. Onboth a 140m roro vessel and a 200mcontainer ship, the corroded areas of thescrubber pipes were grinded out andrewelded. In both cases the pipes wereprotected with Ecospeed, a chemicallyresistant coating produced by SubseaIndustries. The same protection was givento the three new pipes that were installedon a 400m container ship.

Exhaust scrubbers are systems thatfilter out all harmful toxins from exhaustgases of marine diesel engines. These canseverely corrode the pipes of the scrubberwhich can result in water ingress if nothandled quickly enough.

SCRUBBER PIPE REPLACEMENT

This was the case for one of the threeoverboard pipes of the 400m containership. The owner asked Hydrex to replacethe leaking pipe and to perform aninspection of the other two pipes. Thisrevealed that they were also heavilycorroded.

In communication with the owner it wasdecided to replace these scrubber pipesduring the same operation to prevent newleaks in the near future.

Three cofferdams were constructed atHydrex’s workshop based on the drawingssent by the customer. The team installedthese over the outlets of the pipes. Thisallowed them to perform work inside theengine room without water ingress.

Next the team cut away the old pipes.The shell plating was then prepared for theinstallation of the replacement part. Thenew pipes had also been constructed at ourwarehouse in Antwerp with a diffuser andflange already in place. The pipes were thenpositioned and secured with a fullpenetration weld. Next an independent

inspector carried out NDT testing of thewelding work.

To prevent the new pipe fromcorroding, the inside was coated withEcospeed. This product is produced byHydrex sister company Subsea Industries.Ecospeed is highly chemically resistant.Taking into account the nature of theprocess taking place inside a scrubber, thisis essential for a lasting protection of thepipe. Ecospeed can also be used to protecta newly installed scrubber system from dayone.

LASTING CORROSION PROTECTION

The corrosion on the scrubber overboardpipes of the other two ships was lesssevere. It was situated on the flange weldseams. A full replacement of the pipes wasnot needed.

In both cases, Hydrex diver/weldersgrinded away the affected area beforerebuilding it back to its original thicknesswith clad welding.

When the welding was complete thesurface was polished and a MPI was carriedout by an independent inspector.

The inside of the pipes was then coatedwith Ecospeed to keep them safe fromfurther corrosion.

CONCLUSION

Hydrex offers a full package to owners thatare experiencing similar damage. Thecompany will replace the corroded exhaustpipe while the vessel stays on schedule andit makes sure that customers do not haveto call again in a few months’ time for thesame problem.

Most ships sail on a tight schedule.Hydrex knows how important it is toprevent any loss of time. Its technicaldepartment has many years of experiencein drawing up a repair plan that fits inperfectly with a vessel’s schedule. Workingin shifts or splitting up an operation instages are just a few of the many ways it canmake sure that the impact of the repair islimited to the absolute minimum.

Asbjørn Halsebakke, Director, TechnicalSolutions, Marine, Yaskawa EnvironmentalEnergy/The Switch, argues that shipyards,and the industry that supports them, mustshift away from a blinkered approach toCAPEX. By expanding our horizonsbeyond cost, and considering benefits andvalue, he says, all of shipping’s stakeholderscan reap huge rewards.

It’s difficult to break established patternsof behaviour. Once something becomesthe norm it is accepted and viewed as‘conventional wisdom’, even when it’s notin the slightest bit smart.

And that’s what has happened withshipbuilding.

There’s always, ALWAYS, a focus onCAPEX. What will this ship cost? Can wemake it any cheaper? How does it compareto what I can get from Yard B? If we cansave money, or undercut the competition,it’s surely good for business, yes?

In an industry where the smallestmargins are seemingly a matter of(commercial) life and death, the race to thebottom continues to gather pace. But whowill be the winners?

Before we address this, let me state forthe record that I am not naïve. Iunderstand that shipowners and yards feela huge financial strain, especially now duringthis time of global disruption andassociated economic pain. If you can savemoney you do. I mean why wouldn’t you?

Well, maybe because it’ll end up costingmore…

TIME TO REBOOT

Yards are under pressure to push outvessels as cheaply as possible. This comesfrom owners, but it also comes as a resultof the aforementioned ‘norm.’ This is whatthey’re meant to do, right? It’s whateveryone does. Build quickly, often withouthaving an owner lined up at all, sell quicklyand move on to the next project.

But being cheap isn’t the same asdelivering value. Savings for owners inCAPEX can be far, far outstripped by costsin OPEX over a vessel’s lifetime — or evenover the first few years of operation. We’llget on to that shortly.

At present, there’s extreme short-termpressure and that fuels the need for short-term savings. But it’s often bad foreveryone — for the yards (forced to slashprices), for the owners (who don’t get thebest value solutions) and for society, whosimply don’t get the environmentalperformance and standards they deserve.

And because this is ‘conventional

wisdom,’ we keep on making the samemistakes, over and over again, ship aftership after ship.

We need to reboot the system. Andgreen, sustainable solutions should be thefirst factor we program in.

COMMON SENSE SWITCH

I can already hear a couple of virtualgroans. “Green! But green technologycosts more!”

Unfortunately, that’s usually the case.And that’s why yards don’t tend to offertruly green solutions in their newbuilds,unless specifically pressured to. Which, asyet, doesn’t happen enough.

So, yes, CAPEX may be more. But whatif OPEX could be considerably less?Wouldn’t you rather spend US$50,000, forexample, on a car that cost virtually nothingto run and had a higher resale value thanone that was US$40,000 and cost youUS$5,000 a year? And what if that car wassimpler and more reliable to own andbetter for your children, better for theworld?

It’s not, or shouldn’t be, a difficultdecision.

UNLOCKING ADDED VALUE

But forget the car. We’re talking aboutships, aren’t we? So, let me use my owncompany as an example.

Yaskawa Environmental Energy/TheSwitch makes innovative drive traintechnology that is tried, tested and market-proven. We focus on solutions that create,contain and consume energy responsiblyand efficiently. Two of our main offeringsare our DC-Hub, which is capable ofutilizing any electrical energy source,therefore future-proofing vessels, and ourpermanent magnet machines, whichconvert mechanical energy to clean, green

electrical power. Used together, these helpdeliver huge efficiency gains on vessels,reducing fuel burn by up to 35% and cuttingmaintenance costs by between 10 and 20%.

Think of the savings involved in that. Byspending a little more in terms of overallproject cost, you unlock huge businessefficiencies over the vessel’s lifetime —potentially providing ROI after a couple ofyears — and protect the planet from tonupon ton of greenhouse gas emissions.

Less pollution, less fuel, lessmaintenance, less cost. What more reasondo you need to specify a green solution?

OUTSTANDING POSITION

Owners aren’t doing that ‘en masse’ yet,but they are coming round. And once thedemand is there, the yards will meet it. Butthe yards should move to create thatdemand, too.

Surely there’s a business opportunity tointegrate green technologies, such as TheSwitch solutions, into their newbuilds,marketing them as responsible and hugelycost-effective assets that will delivercompelling long-term benefits. In a me-toomarket where everyone is focused onprice, why can’t smart yards differentiatethemselves as pioneers in value? Aspartners to owners, looking after theirbusiness needs, reputations and theenvironment, rather than simply suppliersthat fulfill orders and forget OPEX, movingfrom one project to the next?

Governments have a role to play, too. Byrewarding yards and owners for greenerbuilding initiatives, they can provideincentives while positioning their nationalindustry as the shipbuilders of the future,focused on quality, environmentalstewardship and value.

There’s no downside to that. It’s theembodiment of positive action.

A SMARTER WAY FORWARD

Shipbuilding is a business, and businessesneed to make money. My argument is theway to do this — a way that truly benefitsall of shipping’s myriad stakeholders — isnot by cutting costs, but rather by providingvalue. This is what smart owners are goingto look to in the future, and smart yardsneed to wake up to a new way of workingif we’re ever going to enable a trulysustainable maritime industry.

Call this unconventional if you want, butI believe it is wisdom. If we keep focusingon short-term CAPEX, we’ll all end uppaying in the long term… and nobodywants that.

Are shipyards short-sighted? Why shipping needs to change focus for a sustainable future

“We are delighted to have been selected bysuch an important client to design thistransshipment vessel, oversee theconversion project and be entrusted withthe initial ship management on behalf ofSAFEEN.”

Head of Abu Dhabi Ports MaritimeCluster and SAFEEN CEO, Capt. AdilBanihammad, said: “We are very positiveabout this latest project which is in linewith our vision of expansion into thetransshipment sector of maritime business.

The transshipment contract servingEmirates Steel, adds one more feather toSAFEEN’s cap after the ongoingmanagement of a similar project in WestAfrica.”

Mario Terenzio, Managing Director ofRocktree Consulting, led the way intransshipment in the Arabian Gulf back in1998. He said: “The success we achievedfor GIIC (now Bahrain Steel) with itspioneering iron ore transshipmentoperation, positions us well to serveSAFEEN’s requirements.”

Rocktree is recognized for its localknowledge and the technical andoperational expertise gained fromdeveloping some 38 floating logisticssolutions, including floating cranes, self-discharging vessels, transshippers, and oneof the world’s largest floating terminals.

The Rocktree and SAFEEN technicalteams are working with the shipyard andequipment suppliers on the design, whichwill feature a new cargo handling facilityand ancillary equipment consisting of four32t SWL grab cranes, two double hoppers,a 3,000tph (tonnes per hour) conveyorsystem, and one luffing/slewing bargeloader.

The vessel will also be fitted out withthree new diesel generators and additionalmooring and fendering systems. Additionalsteel work will add 2,328t to the vessel’slight weight.

“The transshippers we design aregeared to provide our clients with an edgeover their competitors. We achieve this byway of devising, designing and operatingeffective logistics solutions and servicesacross the supply chain to industry,” saidTerenzio. “We identify the customer’srequirements, carry out pre-feasibilitystudies and designs, and take on the fullproject and operational management, toensure works are carried out smoothly andefficiently.”

In November last year, Rocktreecompleted the front-end engineering anddesign (FEED) for a new floating terminalfor Australia’s Metro Mining Limited.

The FEED work formed part of anupdated Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)

for the Stage 2 expansion of the BauxiteHills Mine, about 95km north of Weipa,Queensland. Metro Mining aims to increasebauxite exports from about 3.5mt (milliontonnes) to 6mt per year by 2022.

Looking ahead, Pratolongo said: “With adiverse team of professionals committed todelivering quality and innovation, weanticipate Rocktree’s presence in otherareas will grow. We not only expect furtherexpansion in the regions in which wecurrently operate — Russia, Indonesia,Australia — but also in the Middle East.”

Algoma Central Corporation takes delivery of the ‘Algoma Intrepid’

Algoma Central Corporation, supplier ofmarine transportation services, announcedon 13 October 2020 that it has takendelivery of the Algoma Intrepid, the secondEquinox 650’ Class self-unloading dry-bulkcarrier, and the ship has begun her voyageto Canada from the 3 Maj Shipyard inCroatia. The vessel, the ninth EquinoxClass vessel to join the fleet, will journeyacross the Atlantic to Canada where she isexpected to begin trading on the GreatLakes in November.

The Algoma Intrepid is the sister ship tothe Algoma Innovator, which entered servicein early 2018 as the newest and mostefficient river class vessel to enter theGreat Lakes market in almost 40 years.Like her sister ship, the Algoma Intrepidfeatures an impressive forward-mountedboom, enabling cargo to be delivered athard-to-reach docks, providing greaterflexibility for Algoma’s customers.

“The arrival of the Algoma Intrepid willcement our position as the largest andmost diverse fleet on the Great Lakes andSt. Lawrence Seaway,” said Gregg Ruhl,President and CEO of Algoma. “We arevery much looking forward to her arrivaland are eager to not only welcome herinto the Algoma fleet but to also introduceher to our customers. I would like tothank the Algoma Equinox Class team foranother successful delivery and to thecrew on board, wishing you all a safevoyage bringing the ship home,” continuedMr. Ruhl.

In other Equinox Class news, the keelhas been laid for the new Captain HenryJackman at Jiangsu Yangzi-MitsuiShipbuilding Company in China. ThisSeaway-Max gearless bulk carrier isexpected to be delivered during thesecond quarter of 2021 and she will be thenewest and most efficient vessel in

Algoma’s domestic fleet. The design isbeing coined ‘Equinox 3.0’ and it includesimprovements in cargo deadweightcapacity and equipment, all whilemaintaining the numerous performanceefficiencies of the original Equinox Classdesign.

All these commodities are gently,swiftly and carefully handled in orderto avoid the loss of product, ordamage to the form or the shape or

even degradation of the commodity.

STORAGE FACILITIES

Despite Marcor being a floatingterminal operator in dry bulkcommodities, Marcor storesannually close to one million tonnesof dry bulk commodities, with peakstocks going up to 150,000 tonnes.

These enormous volumes arestored smoothly in its storage vesseland push barges. The storage vesselhas a capacity of 28,000 tonnesdivided over seven fully sepa ratedcompartments and the push barges,each a separate compart ment with acapacity varying between 1,000tonnes and 5,000 tonnes. Thesepush barges can also be used totransport the commodities towardsthe final inland destinations.

The separate compartments incombination with the short linesreduces the risk of contaminationto a bare minimum and can beconsidered a negligible risk.

At a speed of 14 knots, the 40,000dwtself-unloading ship successfully completed alldockside and sea trials and then embarkedon its voyage to Hamburg via the Suez Canalon 14 August.

The vessel can self-discharge at a rate of5,500tph (tonnes per hour) and is equippedwith a 90.5m boom, which is one of longestand largest ever built for a self-unloader.

The self-unloading system can handlelump sizes up to 300mm and free-flowingmaterials with a bulk density in the range of1.2-3.5t/m3.

Starnes is fitted with energy saving Hubfins, an exhaust scrubber and a ballast watertreatment system with IMO and USCGcompliance.

The ship is the first of two for the CSL-Hartmann joint venture and joins a fleet of six other Hartmann self-unloading ships with172,000 tonnes loading capacity that are transporting aggregates on routes throughout Europe.

There, the vessel’s operations willconsist of carrying aggregates betweenNorway, Germany, and the UnitedKingdom.

These two extra vessels add 80,000tonnes of loading capacity to the fleet onthese routes.

Captain Bi Fusheng and Chief EngineerLi Fuwang will take the vessel to Manillawhere there will be a crew change. Thenew crew will take the vessel on toHamburg, Germany.

So long, ‘Salarium’On 11 August this year, CSL announcedthat, after a long and productive 41-yearcareer with the Canada Steamship Linesfleet, the 35,656dwt self-unloader Salariumhas been decommissioned.

The long-serving vessel reached the endof her usable life earlier this year and willbe dismantled at a green ship recyclingyard in accordance with local legislation,international conventions and CSL’s ShipRecycling Policy.

Originally named Nanticoke, the shipwas built by CSL at Collingwood Shipyardsand launched on December 18, 1979. Thevessel was designed and built to be able toservice coastal trades.

In April 2009, Nanticoke was charteredby Societé Québecoise d'ExplorationMinière and renamed Salarium as a nod tothe salt trades to which she would beprimarily dedicated.

Until her retirement, Salarium mainlytransported salt between the MagdaleneIslands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence andports along the lower St. Lawrence River,the Great Lakes and the East Coast ofNorth America.

NOTABLE MOMENTS IN ‘NANTICOKE’/‘SALARIUM’S CAREER

v During her maiden year of service in1980, the vessel then named Nanticoke,took part in the first-ever directtransshipment of coal to an ocean-goingship while at sea.

v During the 1997 navigation season,Nanticoke along with sister ships, AtlanticHuron and Atlantic Erie, participated inthe complex Hibernia project wherethe ships discharged magnetite ore intoan offshore drilling platform to ballastthe rig to the ocean floor. The project called for 411,000tonnes of the dense material to set thegiant caissons firmly to the seabed offthe coast of Newfoundland. The three ships were fitted with aDutch-designed operating/dischargingsystem where the magnetite was mixedwith water to form a slurry. Nanticoke’sforward cargo hold was used specificallyto house the added machinery andpumps and a special discharge unit wasattached ahead of the bow. The three ships made four roundtrips from an exclusively built ore dockin Newfoundland to the Hiberniaplatform, taking an average of 12 days tocomplete the trip. The three CSLcaptains and officers received advancedship handling techniques and training

while using simulators due to the oftenvolatile sea conditions in the northAtlantic. On August 13, 1997, Nanticokedelivered the last load of magnetite tothe project. The specially-designedequipment was removed from all threevessels and each returned to theirrespective Great Lakes/Seaway trades.

v In 2007, Nanticoke delivered a cargo ofaggregates to Deception Bay in theNunavik region of Northern Quebec.

The aggregates were discharged into acaisson to build a dock for use by amining company.

v Between 2015 and 2020, the Salariumcrew was involved in a whale sightingprogramme initiated by the MarineMammal Observation Network. Theprogramme aims to better understandthe marine mammal distribution in theGulf of St. Lawrence and protect andpreserve this unique ecosystem.

In 2007, Nanticoke delivered a cargo of aggregates to Deception Bay.

The northern Chilean Port of Mejillonesnow has its new load transfer system in fulloperation, allowing it to ship copperconcentrates at a commercially profitablelevel. The system is unique in that it makesuse of special discharge containers to bringthe concentrates into the port, therebyoptimizing the overall logistics of theoperation.

Indeed, the port is now seeking to notonly improve its operational standards butalso diversify its transport services bymoving into new areas of materials handling,especially bulk minerals, with copper

concentrates as the leading example.According to the port’s general manage,

Francisco Mayol, “With this project, we areinaugurating an operational design neverused before in Chile. It brings together theservices of a port [that has] a mechanizeddock and the logistical advantages of [using]flip-flop containers to handle bulk, usingstate-of-the-art technology. This way ofoperating not only allows the port toincrease its capacity to receive and dispatchexport cargo for the mining industry, butit also represents a highly sustainablesolution in terms of safety and protection

of the environment.”The new system can handle up to

600,000 tonnes of specialist dry bulkmineral commodities per annum.

Early indications, involving at least threeshipments of copper concentrates, clearlyindicated that the terminal is operatingefficiently.

“We are currently focused on[...] how,with our new transfer system, we cancontribute to being a strategic ally for thenational mining industry,” noted Mayol,stressing that this would help reactivate thenational economy. Barry Cross

Mejillones implements new copper concentrate system

On 23 September, the Gramosa Groupcompany Petra Puertos EspecializadosInternacionales began operations at thenew agribulk terminal, in the MexicanPort of Veracruz. This was built at a costin excess of $58.8 million.

The specialist installation is capable ofhandling both dry and liquid bulkconsignments, with storage totalling126,000 tonnes available for the formerand 38,400 tonnes for the latter.

The new facility features a helicalunloading system, which allows thecontinuous discharge of 1,200 tonnes,which is easily three times greater thanthat of existing ports.

The terminal, which covers an area of100,000m2, has a 300-metre-long quayand alongside draught of between 15metres and 20 metres.

On shore, there is flat warehousingcapable of storing up to 13,000 tonnes,five silos, whose combined capacity is of10,000 tonnes, and seven mechanizedtanks. In total, the facility can handle63,000 tonnes of agribulk at any one time.

The bulk terminal is also railconnected and is a first in Mexico in thatit is served by not one but rather tworailway operators. Internally, three are4km of rail track, from whichconsignments of up to 80,000 tonnes can

be unloaded across a four-day period,while block trains consisting of 75wagons can be loaded in under eighthours.

According to Ana Luisa Montes Trejo,president of the Gramosa group, thecompany was awarded the concessionfor the terminal in July 2017.Commenting on the start of operations,she noted, “Veracruz is and will continueto be the most important port in ourcountry, since technological develop -ment, standardization of its processesand care for the environment make it thebest option for foreign trade.”

In Brazil, the Companhia Docas do Estadoda Bahia (Codeba) has signed a contractwith Porto Forte, which undertakes portoperations in the Port of Aratu-Candeias,to undertake the renovation of both theport’s conveyor belt and its associatedmetallic structure. The work will take placeon the import section of the Dry Bulk

Terminal and involve two conveyorssystems, the transfer tower and the shipunloader. The work must be completedwithin three months.

The investment will be funded by PortoForte itself, using income raised by the portadministration, as originally foreseen aspart of the Aratu-Candeias port tariff,

which was implemented with the fullapproval of the National WaterwayTransport Agency (ANTAQ).

Behind the work is the need toreestablish the handling of imported drybulk consignments, which had to cease inApril 2019 given the poor state of theequipment involved. Barry Cross

Codeba to renovate shiploading system

In September of the current year,460,000 tonnes of grain products weretransshipped in the port of Riga, which isa new grain cargo record within onemonth. In total, in the first nine monthsof 2020, the companies of the Freeportof Riga handled 1,971,700 tonnes ofagricultural products, which is by 27.4%more than within the same period last

year. The favourable geographicallocation, investments of port companiesin the terminal development andcompetence in dry bulk cargo handlingare the main pillars of the port’scompetitive advantage, making it possiblefor the Freeport of Riga to set anambitious goal — to become the region’sleader in grain handling.

“The advantage of the Freeport ofRiga and its terminals is the ability toquickly adapt to changing marketconditions. If a cargo group volumedecreases due to geopolitical or marketsituation, it does not mean that the portterminals are idle or the port ceases tooperate,” said Ansis Zeltins, theFreeport of Riga CEO.

Exclusive coal terminals createdby private operators on buildown transfer (BOT) basis atseveral government-ownedmajor ports are facing anexistential crisis. This ishappening in the wake of NewDelhi in its pursuit of ‘AtmaNirbhar’ (self reliance) goalasking the coal ministry totarget nil import of non-cokingcoal. In the 2019/20 financialyear ended April, the country’simports of the fuel amounted to248.54mt (million tonnes),including 196.71mt of thermalcoal and 51.83mt ofmetallurgical coal for theexpanding steel industry.

While exclusive coal terminals, includingmulti-commodity ones, have capacity tohandle bigger volumes than last year’simports, the government has taken thedecision to replace local use of as much as130mt of foreign origin coal by domesticallyproduced fuel during the current year. Thetarget is sought to be achieved bymandating public sector coal sector to stepup 2020/21 production to 700mt from602mt last year. Moreover, policy changesare on the anvil to liquidate stocks with thepublicly owned Coal India Limited and itssubsidiaries.

A spokesperson for port operators saysa major push to thermal coal importsubstitution is to result from the directionof ministry of environment and forests thatelectricity generating stations will not berequired to use “raw or blended orbeneficiated coal with ash content notexceeding 34% on a quarterly basis.” Thisfrees power producers from the obligationto import low ash coal in order not tobreach the quarterly ash contentborderline. Environmentalists fear that thepolicy tweaking will raise pollution causedby burning high ash content coal.

To top it all, in a major economic reformthe government is allowing private sectorparticipation in coal mining and dispensingwith long held distinction between captiveand merchant mining. This is in a wayreversal of nationalization of coal in theearly 1970s — first of metallurgical coalmines followed by thermal coal units. Butthe government, which over the years hasdiluted its holding in Coal India Limitedfrom 100% to 66.1%, is not yet consideringinduction of a strategic partner in theenterprise.

Whatever it is, earmarking of 541 coal

blocks for auction and end of distinctionbetween captive and commercial mininghave sent a clear message to coal importersto go slow on striking new buy deals. Infact, besides cutting down on imports, themerchants are not “evacuating the alreadyarrived cargoes. Cargo evacuation isbecoming a major issue. The problem iscompounded by concerned portauthorities not releasing additional land forstoring overflowing cargoes. This is despiteshipping ministry guidelines on the subject,”says an official of an exclusive coal terminal.Covid-19 triggered low demand for coal bypower stations and other industries such asproducers of direct reduced iron (DRI)have contributed to the piling up of stocksat port stockyards.

A random check with operators revealsthat rapidly falling imports have restrictedberth capacity use at between 40% and 60%rendering the operation highlyuneconomic. The terminals have beencreated with major borrowings from banksand operators are not able to service theloans. As things are, all such terminals arefacing the threat of becoming non-performing assets. What too has nothelped the operators is their obligation ofhigh revenue sharing with the governmentrunning up to 52.52%. Low imports andtherefore poor revenue, plus the dimmingprospects for fuel imports in future, haveled Adani Vizag Coal Terminal — with acapacity to handle 27,000 tonnes of cargoan hour — to serve terminal notice toVisakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT). Vedantagroup also has an 11mt coal terminal at thisport which accepts 200,000dwt Capesizevessels. Falling imported coal cargoes havealso painted the Vedanta terminal into acorner. Both Adani and Vedanta are deepdraught berths.

Incidentally, in the wake of governmentpush to coal import substitution, the twoexclusive terminals at VPT are bearing themaximum brunt, for there between Apriland September foreign-origin thermal coalarrivals dropped 34% year-on-year andmetallurgical coal by 41%. Besides VPT, theother major ports with berths exclusivelyhandling coal are Paradip, Ennore, NewMangalore, Tuticorin, Mormugao andKolkata. The writing on the wall is there forexclusive coal berths. But what can bedone to ensure that investment of millionsof dollars in these berths is not written off?

According to a spokesperson for IndianPrivate Ports and Terminals Association,“we need immediate governmentintervention by way of tweaking of rules sothat the exclusive coal berths could bemade into multi dry bulk commodityberths to keep them in business. Dry bulkcargoes, including coal have around 26%share of the cargoes handled by thecountry’s major ports.” Transition of coalberths into multi-commodity berths willrequire redesigning, investment in newequipment and allocation of additional landfor cargo storage. Until such time that thegovernment allows the conversion intomulti-commodity berths, the coal berthscould be used for coastal transportation ofthe fuel. “Yes these exclusive berths couldbe used for coastal coal transportation.But for coastal shipments, handling chargesare very much on the low side. Quantitiesare invariably small and vessels required willbe small. The berths will, therefore, beconsigned to low efficiency. Assurances ofreverse cargoes for coastal ships carryingcoal are missing.” So the only option forsurvival available is conversion of exclusivecoal berths into multi-commodity ones.

Situated in the northernmost emirate ofthe UAE, Ras Al Khaimah, RAK Ports actsas an important maritime gateway for bulkcargo.

Roger Clasquin, Chief CommercialOfficer, RAK Ports, understands the needsof a modern port specializing in breakbulkand the challenges faced.

RAK Ports comprises five locations: AlJeer Port; Saqr Port; RAK Maritime City;Ras Al Khaimah Port; and Al Jazeera Port.The Port group has recently receivedinfrastructure and equipment investmentsin excess of $250 million.

The container terminal at Saqr Port hasbeen operated by Hutchinson Ports since2017 and has a modest 350,000 TEUcapacity. With Jebel Ali Port in Dubaioperated by DP World boasting an annualtraffic of almost 19 million TEU, Saqr Portserves a smaller, local market.

Also, at Saqr Port the RAK grouphandles around 70 million tonnes of drybulk per year. Most of the cargo is sent tothe Middle East and South Asia, 40% toKuwait, 40% to India, 10% to Bangladeshand the remaining 10% to various othernearby nations. Products are mainlymineral products that are sourced fromthe Al Hajar Mountains which provide abackdrop for the port. It is a key supplychain partners for quarries and the cementindustry.

At the RAK Maritime City locationRAK Ports deals with a total of 22 tenants

with waterside access, shipyard facilitiesand a feeder service from Saqr Port intoJebel Ali. RAK Port provides servicesranging from cargo handling, free zone landlease, ship repair, warehousing, training,marine and anchorage services to cruisetourism.

COVID-19 RESPONSE AT THE PORT

Most nations are operating under sometype of government enforced lockdowns,and the UAE is no exception over thisperiod and may continue to do so forsome time.

For the RAK Ports group this meanttaking measures to keep its workforce safe

and the port 100% operational. Clasquinnoted that one of the greatest challengeswas maintaining an intelligent spread of theworkforce which sees around 1,500 trucksper day enter the Port’s land; this could be3,000 during peak times. Fortunately, thePort has had no cases of the Covid-19virus at its facility, in part by segregating thestaff. The Port is also testing everyone thatenters the port, including the numeroustruck drivers.

Obviously there had been an impact onvolumes of cargo to some extent butunlike its neighbouring large containerports, RAK Ports is not solely dependenton the retail market.

On cargo, Clasquin said that there hasbeen an impact on volumes mainly relatedto the end markets that the Port servesbecause of the lockdowns that have beenimposed by various governments. Overall,he said, RAK Ports has coped well and isnow seeing the trend of recovery, withexport volumes returning to similar valuesas 2019.

The Port closely interacts with itscustomers regarding volume planning as itseeks to keep its workforce occupied andflexible when it comes to sudden volumeincreases and decreases. Most of the India-bound exports are destined for steel mills,which Clasquin notes is an “anti-cyclical”market and is not as heavily driven by retailand consumer markets.

For Kuwait it is predominantlyconstruction materials. Clasquin said it istypical that governments will look to putmoney back into the economy bystimulating big infrastructure projects,which of course is good news for bulkcargo.

Clasquin said that they will probably notbe structurally hit by a volume reduction.While it is currently slower, this is largelydue to lockdown measures at variouslocations.

ENHANCING OPERATIONS AT A BULK PORT

While most of the operations carried outon site regarding bulk cargo are veryrudimentary, according to the ChiefCommercial Officer, they are nowbeginning to explore smart technologies.

Unlike container ports, bulk operationsare not typically associated with theInternet of Things (IoT), ArtificialIntelligence (AI) and similar technologies.

However, in September 2019 the groupcommissioned Envision to implement aport community system and a portoperating system using the company’siPortman and Rubus software. The moveto a more advanced system comes ashandling 70 million tonnes of cargo andreceiving 2,000 ships per annum is nolonger practical with manual systems.

Rubus software is also used to help withpredictive maintenance and hardwareplanning.

Work on the system began in 2019 asRAK Ports looked to define the scope ofthe system and speak to its customersabout their needs. It is expected that theport community system will be rolled outin stages by the end of 2020.

The Port had discussed with variousother vendors but ultimately choseEnvision because it already has a presencein the Middle East. He also noted thatmany vendors focus on container trafficand very few specialise in dry bulk.

Envision’s customers include theSharjah National Oil Corporation and thePort of Fujairah, both located in the UAE.

Clasquin said the implementation of thistype of software represents a “quantumleap” for contemporary port operations.

He acknowledged that RAK Ports maybe lagging the likes of Abu Dhabi Ports onthe technological front, but this is due tothe many more transactions involved withcontainer vessels compared with the bulkcargo RAK deals with.

Together with its customers the groupis trying to be adaptive, agile and resilient inorder to move an unpredictable andfluctuating amount of cargo. While there

may be fewer transactions and thecustomers may be a far cry from those thatare implementing their own IoT and AItechnologies, RAK Ports is looking at howbest to achieve top preforming operationswith relevant technology implementation.

Clasquin also noted that the sharing ofdata has become ever more important andbecause of this RAK needs to ensure it hasthe systems to support this.

On cost saving, which is often a greatdriver in the adoption of new technologies,Clasquin pointed out that products such aslimestone have a typical value of $10–15per tonne. It is not practical to have astate-of-the-art outfit for this type of cargo,he said, it must be “fit for purpose andmodern”. But even if 10 pence can be savedfrom supply chain costs for the products, itis 70 million times that per annum.

Reducing the supply chain costs comeswith better planning and better systemswith the help of Envision and the portcom- munity and operating system.

For the future, Clasquin said that thegroup continues to invest in the expansionof its ports as the demand for new landwith water connectivity increases. Theproject is still in the early stages but will beone of the Port’s main focuses over thenext couple of years.

While there is little doubt that thecoronavirus pandemic has had a negativeimpact on dry bulk traffic across theHamburg–Le Havre range, weather andenvironmental policy changes haveprobably had a much greater influence ontraffic patterns over the past 12 months.

ROUEN CONTINUES TO DOMINATE FRENCH

DRY BULK PORTS SECTOR

Dry bulk traffic at Haropa Ports, whichcontrols the ports of Rouen, Le Havre andParis, grew by 3.8% in 2019 to 14mt(million tonnes). The increase was mainlyattributable to increased cereals traffic atRouen, where throughput went up by 9.3%to 8.3mt. This is the second bestperformance at the Seine River port in thelast 20 years and is almost entirelyattributable to the record yield and qualityof last year’s French harvest.

Paris, too, reported strong growth inconstruction materials traffic, wherecement and clinker tonnage went up 39%thanks to increased work taking place inthe Ile-de-France region.

In contrast, dry bulk traffic at Le Havresuffered from a downturn in the use ofcoal, with tonnage handled down 52%.

For 2019, Haropa Ports reportedupticks in both biofuel and biomass, whichare benefiting from the overall transition inFrance towards more environmentallyfriendly electricity generation. Traffic inwoodchip has similarly increased: four foldover the course of last year.

Rouen remains the major player in thedry bulk market. Last year, it handled12.54mt, up 5.4% over 2018. This figuresincludes 8.28mt of cereals, equivalent togrowth of 9.3%, with France able toleverage its overall competitiveness vis-à-vis

competitors in the Black Sea region.Fertilizer traffic also grew, by 7% to

866,774 tonnes. There were other successstories, too. Wood chip pellets grew by337% to 98,629 tonnes, while other drybulk tonnage went up 14.6% to 2.34mt.

Coal, in contrast, declined by 12% to329,486 tonnes while scrap was also down6.8% to 220,578 tonnes. Aggregatessimilarly had a bad year, dropping 37% to532,181 tonnes.

For its part, the Port of Le Havrehandled 1.2mt of dry bulk last year.

2020 CONTINUES THE POSITIVE TREND

Figures released by HAROPA for theperiod up to 26 August 2020 show that thePort of Rouen handled 9.14mt of dry bulk,which is 14% up on 2019. This figureincludes 6.68mt of cereals, equivalent togrowth of 25%; 481,254 tonnes of

In August 2020, coal imports increasedagain significantly compared to theprevious months of this year (average351,000 tonnes), rising to almost600,000 tonnes. This is the best resultsince January 2020. In the months fromJanuary to August 2020, coal/cokeimports in the Port of Hamburg hadfallen by 38.6% from January to August2020.

Beside the corona-related temporaryreduction in demand in the automotiveindustry, which in turn affects thedemand for steel and thus the coalrequired for steel production, thedemand for coal for power generation inpower plants is also affected. Due to theenergy system transformation and thepolitically intended coal phase-out, theenergy transition is tending moretowards gas and wind power instead ofcoal.

Also, the weather and a favourable gasprice accelerated this demand in favourof alternative energy sources. Inaddition, and not unusual, in the secondquarter, some power plants carried outtheir power plant overhauls, whichtemporarily reduced the demand forcoal. The restart of the power plants inthe third quarter, the prospect of risingdemand from the steel industry and the

acquisition of additional volume fromanother ‘western port’ gives confidencethat volumes in Hamburg will rise againin the second half of the year. Most ofthe coal imported by sea came fromRussia, but there were also imports fromthe USA, Canada, and Australia.

2019: DECLINE IN COAL IMPORTS

Germany’s largest universal portreported good results for 2019 with asea cargo turnover of 136.6mt (milliontonnes) [+1.1%]. Despite a slowdown inglobal trade and existing trade sanctions,

Hamburg performed very well in adifficult environment.

A record volume of coal was alsobrought to Hamburg in the previousyear. However, demand for coal-basedelectricity was lower in 2019. The lowerrevenue situation for the power plants(energy producers) also reduced thedemand for coal (production wastemporarily shut down), which wasfurther intensified by the mild weather.This and the speculative purchase of coalled to filled warehouses and to a 9.9%decline in imports in 2019 to 7.296mt.

aggregates, up 33.5%; 561,856 tonnes offertilizer, up 1.1%; and 1.41mt of other drybulk, which fell by 17.4%.

Explaining these figures, a spokespersonfor HAROPA pointed out that, for cereals,fertilizer and other bulk, it is generallysupply and demand that impacts traffic,although, the weather is also a determiningfactor. In contrast, coal and aggregates aremuch more impacted by the overalleconomic activity.

Furthermore, according to HAROPA,the current pandemic has had little or noimpact on the global traffic of solid bulk.Fertilizer and cereals continue to rise andthe agricultural sector is operating almostnormally. Only the construction sector hasreported a short-term downturn due toCovid-19.

In respect of end-of-year trafficforecasts for 2020, the spokesperson toldDCI that there will almost certainly be aslow down in dry bulk, given that thecurrent year’s cereal harvest is not as goodas that of 2019. Worse still, the cost ofcereals being produced in Western Europeis, at least for the moment, above that ofrival producers in the Baltic Sea and BlackSea regions.

There is good news, though. Theconstruction industry is again working at itsnormal rate, albeit with a lot of catch uptaking place, although this is expected totailor off over the coming months.

The wild card remains Covid-19, which

could scupper all forecasts.

INVESTMENT CONTINUES APACE

Significant investment is taking place at thePort of Rouen.

Sea Invest is spending €9.7 million onupgrading the quayside at Quai de laPapeterie; work is expected to becompleted in 2021. In addition, the roadaccess to the Silos Sénalia installation onthe Elie Peninsula has been recentlycompleted at a cost of €1.8 million. Grainsilos at Simarex have also been renovatedand modernized.

A container loading station has beencreated at Sénalia for gluten pellets fromthe Tereos factory in Lillebonne, while anew 9,000m² warehouse at Surveyfert hasbeen commissioned for the storage ofvarious bulk.

New investment is also planned. The Soufflet grain terminal at Rouen is

to be modernized, with the port authorityproviding €7.5 million and the SouffletGroup €10 million. Construction is alsounder way of a 10,000m² bulk storagewarehouse at the Petit-Couronne terminal.

Renovation is planned for the Quai duBassin aux Bois in Rouen.

Furthermore, there will be a concessionfor the construction and operation of anew dry bulk terminal at Le Havre. A 14hasite has been identified close to Normandybridge. On offer is a 20-year concessionfor which bids have already been received.

These are currently being evaluated and awinner will be declared soon.

A DEEPER DRAUGHT

At present, the largest vessels to call atRouen are in the Capesize class and thesetransport coal. The most recent arrival, theCape Elise, offloaded a 74,000-tonneconsignment.

Significantly, in 2019, the Port of Rouenmaritime access improvement programmedelivered an additional one metre ofdraught, giving an exit draught of 11.30metres. This became operational in July lastyear. This deeper draught means that thePort of Rouen now has a 50% market sharein cereal exports from France.

In 2020, there have been 90 largetonnage vessel calls, including the Bregaglia,which arrived in early June, during which ittook on board 59,400 tonnes of barley. TheEquinox Dream, which is 197 metres longand 32 metres wide, also called at the portin December 2019, making use of the new11.15-metre draught. The bulk carrierloaded 45,000 tonnes of barley feed at theSénalia Grand-Couronne terminal, thensailed for Qatar.

As for efficiency, the Port of Rouenhas cereal loading rates that are amongthe best in Europe. The Sénalia terminalin Grand-Couronne, for example, canload up to 3,000 tonnes of cereals perhour. But the strength of Rouen portoperators lies in having equipment suitable

for all types of bulk and for all sizes ofvessels.

RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC

In terms of the pandemic, the three Seineports where Haropa operates have notreceived any governmental or portauthority financial help for dry bulkhandling. However, HAROPA itself hasimplemented specific measures related tothe Covid-19 crisis. To help companiesovercome difficulties, the ports along theSeine River have decided to postpone thepayment dates for state fees over thecoming months.

This support plan includes a reductionin state fees, which will be achieved viareductions on fixed deadlines, covering thelast three quarters of 2020.

In early May, the alliance of the ports ofLe Havre, Rouen and Paris also initiated apost-Covid recovery plan called PUSH(HAROPA Single Support Programme).This acts as a centre for economicinformation on the various port sectorsand provides a permanent watch onmaritime port services, multimodalservices, and offers specific support in thesearch for logistics solutions and dedicatedservices, as well as market analysis.

TERVAL INVESTMENTS REFLECT CHANGING

MARKETS

Terval, which is based in the Belgian inlandport of Liège and specializes in the tradingof coal, reported a 15% drop in volumes in2019. This it attributes to the severedrought experienced in 2019, whichnegatively influenced its business. Indeed,dryers of lucerne grass, which is used foranimal feed, and dehydrators of sugar beetsconsumed less coal than expected due tothe drought.

“Moreover,” notes terminal spokes -person Yannick Detilloux, “Western-Europegovernments are still strengthening their

politics, which tend to force the industry tochange its way of thinking.”

For 2020, overall traffic conditionsremain similar to those in 2019, and thecoal terminal expects to end the year withsimilar traffic levels to those reported lastyear. However, new factors are influencingthe business. At the end of last year, forexample, gas prices decreased in relation tothose charged for coal. Some end-userswho were able to — partly or totally —switched their fuel consumption to gas.Nevertheless, over the last two months,this trend appears to be reversing.

“The good news is that the new trainloading station we developed last year wasinaugurated at the beginning of January,”says Detilloux. “Since then, we have loadeda train every two weeks with coal for thechemical industry, which currentlyrepresents business of 60,000 tonnes peryear.”

Quizzed about the possible impact ofCovid-19 pandemic, he says it has notinfluenced the business to any great extent.While some clients’ plants did close at theoutbreak of the pandemic, this mainlyaffected the metallurgical sector.

“As our exposure to that industry isquite limited, it did not impact our sales toany great degree,” he says.

However, there has been no portauthority financial help at all forthcomingfor dry bulk handling in the port.

Detilloux stresses that Terval is trying todecrease its dependency on coal. Last year,it began the unloading, storage, and re-loading of wood pellets. The terminal nowhas two dedicated storage sheds that canaccommodate a total of 5,000 tonnes ofwood pellets each.

“We are trying to focus ourdevelopment strategy in this direction,”says Detilloux.

Beside coal and biomass, for the pastfew years, Terval has also handled different

by-products for the cement industry: iron-oxides, calcium sulphates and aluminacarrier. These business units currentlygenerate business of around 120,000tonnes, which is 20% up on last year.

In terms of investment, besides theTerval’s new rail loading station, Terval hasalso had the opportunity to extend itsproduction site by acquiring new storageareas, both covered and non-covered, forfuture business development. Thisincreased yard space to 150,000m2 andprovided more under cover storage with25,000m2.

“We are currently studying theacquisition of a bulk dryer installation. Lastyear, we began working for a new business,which needs anthracite fines. For that,anthracites fines must be dried to less than3% moisture.”

As for vessel sizes, the largest that arriveat Rotterdam carrying consignments forTerval are Capesize or Panamax bulkcarriers that bring in imported coal fromSouth Africa. The choice on vessel sizedeployed not only depends mainly onmarket freight rates but also on Terval’sown needs. This year, for example, in July, an80,000-tonne consignment of coal wasimported using a Panamax vessel; inOctober, an even larger consignment of160,000 tonnes of coal will arrive byCapesize vessel.

Quizzed as to overall efficiency at Liege,Detilloux says the inland port does quitewell. “The port of Liège,” he says, “was amajor player during the heyday of theEuropean steel industry. It now rankssecond after Duisburg among Europeaninland ports.”

The terminal where Terval operates isdoing well, he adds, thanks to the closecooperation between the operator and itsstevedores. The coal terminal can load upto 6,000 tonnes per day and unload up to12,000 tonnes daily of dry bulk.

DUNKIRK REMAINS A STRONG, INDUSTRIAL

PORT

Historically, the Port of Dunkirk has alwaysbeen an industrial port. However, over thepast decades, activities have diversified, inparticular in respect of such things ascontainers, logistics and liquid bulk.Nevertheless, the industrial side of thebusiness remains very important andcontinues to directly influence overallvolumes handled.

Above all, the port benefits from havinga maritime access that allows it to receivelarge bulk carriers and has developed anumber of specialized terminals toaccommodate these.

In 2018, Dunkirk reported total dry bulktraffic of 26mt. Ore and coal alonerepresent the majority of this traffic,accounting for an important part of overallthroughput handled by the port. Last year,Dunkirk reported a 3mt decline in drybulk commodities, registering total bulktraffic of 18mt. This decrease is notablylinked to less sustained activity in the steelindustry. As for the drop in steam coalconsumption —used mainly by thermalpower stations, sugar companies, and thechemical industry — this is a morestructural element, linked closely toFrance’s decarbonization policy.

The various other dry bulkcommodities are shared across severalindustries, handlers or warehouses in theport area and these have remained fairlystable over the past two years. Sometraffic, though, has disappeared. This is thecase with limestone, which Dunkirkhandled for a few years, but whichdisappeared in 2018. Volumes of sugarhave also declined, the result of theabolition of sugar quotas in 2017, which ledto a substantial drop in the volumes ofsugar exported in bulk.

On the other hand, apart from theusual changes in traffic patterns and spotvessel calls, some new traffic has appeared.This is the case for export tyre chip traffic,of which several shipments have beenmade from Dunkirk since 2019.

A good cereal harvest and new marketsfor the grain terminal helped volume in theagribulk sector to increase from 1.4mt in2018 to 2mt in 2019. The 2019/2020season was particularly memorable, with2.8mt of cereals exported. Indeed, thequality of the wheat from this harvestcorresponded almost exactly withrequirements of various customers in theindustry. In addition, the tumultuous traderelationship between the USA and Chinahas helped boost exports of grain fromFrance to China, with Dunkirk a direct

beneficiary.The port silo operator has developed

and diversified its own activities in the porttoo, and now imports around 300,000tonnes of fertilizer, dry pulp, dehydratedalfalfa, and pellets, among others. This hasreinforced the company’s investmentprojects, which aim to achieve a morebalanced flow of traffic, which shouldprovide a hedge against any futuredeterioration in export tonnage if harvestsare less good. To date, investment hasalready been made in various handlingequipment, which is already operational,while other development projects areunder way.

Of note is that the 2020/2021 grainexport campaign promises to be lessfruitful with lower yields, hence theimportance of diversifying the types of

flows through the port’s silos.More generally, the port authority

reports that for the first few months of2020, traffic was negatively impacted by thecoronavirus pandemic, as activity in theport slowed dramatically. For the firstseven months, throughput of dry bulktraffic at the port reached 10.3mt.

During this period, large bulk flowsdecreased with the shutdown of two out ofthree ARCELOR blast furnaces, which onlyreopened in mid-August 20, when a gradualresumption of activity allowed thereopening of a second blast furnace.

“The period of confinement that wehave been through has undoubtedly causeda drop in trade. The coming months willtell us more about the exact timing of therecovery, which is still tentative even to thisday,” a port spokesperson told DCI.

Rotterdam presents ambitious shore-based power strategy for sea-goingvesselsMUNICIPALITY AND PORT

AUTHORITY FORMULATE

JOINT OBJECTIVES

The Municipality ofRotterdam and the Port ofRotterdam Authority areworking together on thejoint rollout of shore-based power for sea-goingvessels in Rotterdam. By2030, they want asignificant share of sea-going vessels to ‘plug in’once they have mooredalong one of the port’squays. This will allow themto power down their dieselgenerators while berthed— good news for local airquality and the vessels’carbon footprint. Over thenext five years, thepartners will be initiating a series ofprojects that are intended to accelerateand scale up the adoption of shore-basedpower. Depending on the experiencesgained in these projects, the Municipalityand the Port Authority may adapt theirtargets in this area in 2025.

According to Arno Bonte, Rotterdam’sVice Mayor for Sustainability, Clean Air andEnergy Transition, the plan is a major stepforward for sustainability in the port.‘Shore-based power allows us to connectvessels to a clean source of power. Thisprevents both air pollution and noisenuisance — which will improve conditionsfor local residents and for the surroundingnature areas. Our port will once againbecome a bit greener.’

Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port ofRotterdam Authority, says: “Our visioncombines ambition and pragmatism. Wewill be setting up eight to ten shore-basedpower projects for a variety of sea-goingvessel types. We will be doing this inpartnership with companies in the portarea and with the shipping companies thatuse our port. We will continually monitorthe results of these projects to learnwhether we can speed up the process orneed to take a bit more time.”

SEA-GOING VESSELS

Ships require electric power for a variety ofprocesses on board, including lighting,running all manner of equipment as well askeeping containers with food products atthe right temperature, for example. This

power generally comes from dieselgenerators, which release pollutants,carbon emissions and noise. In principle,you could also hook a vessel up to thepower grid on shore while it is berthed.However, this does require the ship itself,the terminal quays and the power grid tobe suited to this solution.

Every year, sea-going vessels mooredalong Rotterdam’s quays consume as muchelectric power as 250,000 to 300,000households. And in the process, theyrelease various harmful emissions into theatmosphere, including 600,000 tonnes ofCO2 and 8,000 tonnes of nitrogen. By2030, Rotterdam’s shore-based strategycould result in carbon savings ofapproximately 200,000 tonnes per year.

Over the past few years, virtually everypublic berth for inland shipping inRotterdam has been fitted with a shore-based power point. Inland vessels consumefar less power than their sea-goingcounterparts. To limit nuisance for thesurrounding area, Stena Line’s ferry at Hoekvan Holland has been using shore-basedpower for some time now. And Eneco andthe Port Authority are currently workingon a shore-based power facility nearRozenburg for Heerema’s offshore vessels,which regularly moor at this location.

THREE PILLARS

In view of the variety of vessel types andmooring locations involved, the partnershave based their shore-based strategy onthree different pillars. The first pillar mainly

centres on the quality of the surroundingsocial environment, ensuring that all publicquays in built-up areas will ultimately befitted with shore-based power points. Theobjective is for 90% of these connectionsto be used by ships calling on the port by2030. In addition, Rotterdam is alsoexamining opportunities to realize shore-based power along private quays near built-up areas.

The second pillar is characterized by ‘bigsteps forward wherever possible’. Theobjective is to construct new shore-basedpower capacity for ferries, ro/ro ships,offshore vessels and cruise liners, whichshould once again have an utilization rate of90% by 2030. In the case of containervessels, the ambition has been set at a 50%adoption of shore-based power by largevessels (10,000+ TEU) as of 2030. Andfinally, the third pillar focuses on thedevelopment of innovations for specialvessel categories like e.g. liquid bulkcarriers, which are difficult toaccommodate with the existing shore-based power facilities.

In the years ahead, the aim is to realizeeight to ten concrete shore-based projects,which will be divided between theprogramme’s three main pillars. Thisprogramme is expected to require a totalinvestment of some €125 million. Themajority of this budget will be contributedby the companies involved, the Municipalityand the Port Authority. Nevertheless,around €50 million will need to be coveredby public funding.

As America’s chief inland river structure,the Mississippi River System is vital in themovement of grain for export. Along thelower Mississippi River, Heyl & Pattersoncontinuous barge unloaders are critical inthe efficient unloading of grain from inlandbarges for eventual export in ocean goingvessels. Heyl & Patterson Equipment hasspecialized in grain handling since the1960s. America’s grain exports rely heavilyon Heyl & Patterson’s equipment for thesafe and efficient transport from farm toterminal.

In 1965, one of the large grain exportcompanies commissioned a study and fieldassessment to determine if the continuousbarge unloader (CBU) could increase theefficiency of the unloading device known asthe ‘marine leg’. The CBU had alreadyproven to be fruitful to the power and steelindustries. The study proved that the entirebarge offloading function could be stream -lined, less power consumed, and that lessforeign material was generated by using theCBU. It was also determined that materialsthat were extremely difficult or evenimpossible to offload, such as soybean meal,screenings and corn gluten feed were easilyhandled by the CBU. The study concludedthat the value of the entire terminal wasenhanced by faster offloading times,improved machine availability, and theability to unload by-products. Since then,many CBUs have been commissionedthroughout the Mississippi River Systemwith free digging rates ranging from 80,000to 100,000 bushels per hour, unloading anentire barge in well under an hour.

To align with the goals of many growinggrain terminals, Heyl & Patterson iscurrently engineering a CBU that will offeran even greater throughput, with a 120,000bushel per hour offload rate.

HOW IT WORKS

In most circumstances, a structure is builtat the approach of the unloader. Thecovers are removed from the loadedbarges and replaced onto the emptybarges. The barge haul cables areconnected to the barge at this location andthe barge is moved to the digging head ofthe unloader boom. The boom is slowlylowered with the hoist engines to thecenter of the barge, and the bucket/chainline is started.

As grain is unloaded, the boomcontinues to be lowered until it reaches thebottom of the barge. At this point, thetrolley traversing sequence is started andthe boom travels to the barge sides. When

a pathway has been cleared, the barge haulsystem advances at a proper rate to deliverthe loaded material to the CBU boom. Thisoperation continues until the barge isentirely unloaded.

Larger export facilities have employed adouble-slip CBU to speed throughput. Thedouble slip machine spans two bargewidths, allowing one barge to be unloadedwhile a second is undergoing the coverhandling function.

At Zen Noh’s Convent, Louisiana GrainExport Terminal a full barge is unloaded, theproduct weighed, tested and delivered to abin for storage in 45 minutes. By means ofa Heyl & Patterson Continuous BucketUnloader, Zen Noh can unload 24–26 grainbarges in a day.

For some CBU users, grain is directlytransferred from barge to ocean vessel,eliminating the storage aspect. AssociatedTerminals operates a floating midstreamterminal outside Myrtle Grove, LA on theLower Mississippi River. Upon this floatingterminal a Heyl & Patterson barge unloaderis used to unload grain and grainbyproducts, conveying them directly toocean vessels. This terminal operates as astandard grain elevator whilst floating mid-waterway.

GRAIN DUST

Most modern grain handling machinery isequipped with dust collection systems tomeet today’s environmentalregulations, the CBU is nodifferent. Heyl & Patterson’szipper duct provides thenecessary dust managementrequired for unloading a

grain barge. The boom is provided withducts that have pick-up points near thedigging head, as well as the bucket returnchute. Additional ducts and pick-up pointsare provided on both sides of the dischargechute to gathering conveyor meeting point.All ducts interconnect at the trolley, andfrom there interface with a stationary‘zipper duct’ mounted on the unloaderstructure. Optimal-design installationsmount a baghouse over the main yardconveyor, just beyond the CBU gatheringconveyor discharge point, and collecteddust is deposited on the yard conveyor.

GRAIN BY RAIL

Heyl & Patterson’s CUB railcar mover isutilized in both export terminals and inlandgrain elevators, for ease of grain loadout.The CUB allows a single operator toaccurately position and index grain cars forloading and unloading activities. The CUB’srobust construction ensures absoluteoperational and environmental safety,replacing winch systems, locomotives andother crude arrangements commonlyprone to troublesome leaks or safetyhazards. The CUB is an electromechanicalmachine, specifically engineered to move asingle railcar or group of railcars. While itis the most compact model in Heyl &Patterson’s complete line of railcarpositioning systems, it easily handles 20loaded railcars on a straight, flat track.

Bobcat has launched the new generation R-Series B730 backhoe loader, replacing thecompany’s first generation B700, B730 andB750 models, for sale in the Middle Eastand Africa (MEA). The new R-Series B730backhoe loader is available in a choice ofdifferent configurations.

Gul Nalcaci, Product Manager forBobcat backhoe loaders, said: “The R-SeriesB730 backhoe loader is the result of a greatinterpretation to meet the needs of ourcustomers and is enriched with numerousnew features. The new design is powerfuland intuitive, injected with our iconicBobcat DNA in heavy duty forms adding ahuge strength to the product. It now offersa completely flexible solution for any jobsite with an unbeatable combination ofpower, drive and control options. Smartlydesigned with an all new cab withconvenience features that ensure it is afantastic experience to operate a BobcatBackhoe Loader.”

SUCCESSFUL BOBCAT EXPANSION IN MEABACKHOE LOADER MARKET

Bobcat has long been acknowledged for itspopularity in the skid-steer loader marketin MEA. Responding to customer requests,the company entered the backhoe loadermarket four years ago and quickly gainedmarket share throughout the region, withthe first generation of Bobcat machinesachieving top three positions in manycountries in MEA.

Gaby Rhayem, Regional Director MiddleEast and Africa at Doosan Bobcat EMEA,said: “Our first generation backhoe loaderrange has been very successful — I canproudly say that every second sold machinein the MEA region in our category is nowBobcat-branded, which is an incredibleachievement. We also had a very good firsthalf of 2020, despite the market challengesbrought by Covid-19.

“At Bobcat, we are dedicated toproviding our customers with theperformance and innovation they need.Our new generation R-series B730backhoe loader meets all these goals andwill allow us to gain market share andfurther improve our position throughoutthe region.”

THE POWER TO ACHIEVE MORE

The new R-Series B730 backhoe loader ispowered by the best-in-class Perkins1104C-44T 100 HP engine with amaximum torque of 408Nm, deliveringmore than enough muscle for the mostdemanding applications. Along with the

hydraulics, the B730 can therefore deliverall the power needed to finish work in ashorter time.

In combination with the manual oroptional auto-shift transmission,accelerating from 0 to 40km/h by smoothgearshifts, the operator benefits from aneasy and comfortable drive on the road orat the job site.

The new generation B730 offerspremium performance with powerfulbreakout forces and strong lift capacities.The B730 reduces the need forrepositioning for applications such asdigging, trenching, breaking and materialhandling. It can also be coupled withoptional Bobcat attachments to carry outthese applications with maximum efficiency.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS, SMOOTH OPERATION

Bobcat’s new R-Series are all designedaround the operator, setting new standardsin operator comfort. The new roomy six-pillar cab in the B730 is typical of theR-Series design and provides operatorswith a flexible choice of controlconfigurations. The B730 operator canchoose between ISO, SAE or Cross (X)backhoe controls. The customer can buildtheir preferred control pattern or changeto pilot controls with a selectable controlpattern. The selectable control patternsensure that operators can make a hassle-free transition from one machine toanother.

The B730 provides intuitive and simple,smooth operation in both workingpositions. The dashboard on the right-handside of the cab groups all the necessarycontrols and easy-to-locate switches in onearea, so they are easily accessible from bothworking positions.

On the loader side, the multi-functionloader lever, featured as standard, has the6-in-1 bucket, differential lock and

transmission disengage functions integratedinto a single control grip. The same leveralso provides assistance for Return to Digand Float operations, greatly increasingproductivity.

SUPERB VISIBILITY

The new cab offers operators excellent all-round visibility, with an enlarged rear slidingwindow and angled, flat-glass side windows.As a result, operators can comfortably seewhat is around the machine and have a fullview of all the workgroups in operation.There is increased air circulation as boththe front door window and rear windowscan be opened. When this is coupled withHVAC options, this ensures that theoperator can work comfortably in allweather conditions.

The convenience features within the cabinclude additional and functional storageareas. The front storage space on the left isa unique Bobcat signature element and isequipped with a USB charger, phone andcup holders, bottle holders on each side,and a cooled (if the HVAC option is inplace) high-capacity storage box withreinforced cover.

EASY MAINTENANCE AND ACCESS

Easy maintenance access through a singleone-piece engine cover — with the releasefor the latch lock in the cab — providesquick and easy access to the enginecompartment. Daily checks can be madewithout raising the boom at ground level.

The heavy-duty front grill design isanother Bobcat signature feature thateliminates worry about damaging themachine, while providing easy access to thecooling package. The B730 is designed forrefuelling from ground level, the intervalsfor which have been increased owing to thenew 160-litre strong polymer, corrosion-resistant fuel tank.

No more dust, spills, andmaintenance on belts andtransfers — the dream of everyplant operator. The Airscrape, asolution by Scrapetec, can do justthat. In the meantime, it has beenproven that this contact-freesystem works quite perfectlyeven with moist and stickymaterials.

The description of thecondition moist and sticky doesnot bode well in terms ofprocessing and belt transport —within the stockyard, orelsewhere in the bulk handlingprocess. Nevertheless, thechallenge must be met. In thecase of the German Inashco plantin Wuppertal this meant, in thepast, that Marcel Angerhausen,operations manager of theprocessing plant for theproduction of mineral material fractionsfrom ashes and slag, and his team had toclean the belt periphery and all transferpoints daily from unplanned materialspills. This was not exactly a favouriteactivity, especially when it should actuallybe about trouble-free added value. Insearch of a solution, Angerhausen metthe inventor of the extraordinaryAirscrape system and owner ofScrapetec, Wilfried Dünnwald, at the last“Schüttgut’ trade show.

Anyone who, like Angerhausen, hasalready tried extensively to handle theabove-mentioned issue is naturallysceptical, and curious to find outwhether the contactless containment ofannoying material spills can also work ina moist and sticky environment.Therefore he was in exactly the rightplace with the Scrapetec specialists.Always interested in finding out wherethe performance limits of the Airscrapesystem are to be found, themanufacturer was happy to grant agenerous trial operation, which was alsosuccessfully carried out in this case witha six-week trial.

WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE PROBLEM?Angerhausen explains the past andpresent situation and the general task

facing Inashco. At its core, it consists ofprocessing slag and ashes from wasteincineration plants into usable rawmaterials. With Inashco’s solution, allmetal components are recovered fromwhat remains after incineration using aspecial process (ADR for short). Then,marketable mineral recycling fractionsare produced from the residual ashes,which can be used as aggregates in thenon-structural concrete productsindustry. In co-operation with theTechnical University Delft, this patentedrecycling solution was developed by thecompany, now operating worldwide withmore than 25 plants in six countries,including the Netherlands, UK, Germany,USA, Finland and Singapore.

The fact that it is possible to processashes with a high moisture contentdirectly from incineration thanks to ADRtechnology is a real advantage for metalrecovery, but more of a curse for thefurther processing of the remainingminerals into mineral aggregates.Nevertheless, this task is important,because on average the ashes have about80% stone, glass and ceramic contents.

In more detail, Angerhausendescribes the processing as follows,“Material with a grain size of 0/10 mmends up in our plant, which we prepare

for recycling via various screening andcleaning stages to 0/3mm and 3/10mm.This process is well co-ordinated, onlythe annoying material spills on belts andtransfers have regularly caused usconcern in the past. So, we are nowhappy to have been working withAirscrape system for four months. Thefact that the system works so well, evenwith our difficult materials, reallysurprised us — and probably also themanufacturer,” the responsible personconcludes with a wink.

Although the process does not workcompletely without cleaning at criticalpoints, what are two hours on Fridayafternoon compared to the huge dailyefforts before? According toAngerhausen, a good 90% of the timeonce spent cleaning is now available forproductive work since the introductionof the Airscrape. Scrapetec salesmanager, Thorsten Koth, shares thesteadily growing enthusiasm for theproduct from numerous user feedbacks,“We are being confirmed again and againwhat undreamt-of savings potentials thesystem opens up. I am quite sure thatthis will result in a further surge indemand this year, especially since theAirscrape is already showing the firsttendencies to become a success story.”

Recently, the R&Ddepartment at Italianbulk handling equip -ment manufacturerGambarotta Gschwendthas developed newaccessories for itsTirex surface feeder.These include:v weighing system:

installed on thefeeder’s inclinedpart, allowingconstant control ofthe quantity ofmaterial supplied tothe plant. Thesystem guaranteeshigh accuracy andhas already beentested on apronfeeders.

v outflow concen t ra -tor: as known, theoutlet width of the surface feeder isabout 2.6m. The following conveyormight have a narrower inlet (forexample, in the case of a bucketelevator); in this case, in order to grantan efficient flow of the material, a certainvertical distance must be providedbetween the outlet and the inlet of thetwo conveyors. Nevertheless, thisvertical distance can be significantlyreduced by the introduction ofGambarotta Gschwendt’s outflow

concentrator, thus driving the flux in thecentre of the feeder outlet.

v sizer/breaker at the outlet of thesurface feeder: the supplied materialmight have to be reduced in dimensions.In order to do this, a sizer can beinstalled on the outlet.

v roller screen: installed on the outlet, itmakes it possible to eliminate the smallsize material from the flow; additionalbreakers and rollers are also capable ofseparating further foreign materials.

With the above mentioned accessories thesurface feeder becomes a very efficient andcomplete unit, able to receive the materialfrom trucks or loaders, weigh it, reduce itto the right size and eliminating small sizematerial and even foreign particles, whileconveying.

These new successful features of thesurface feeder have enhanced the unitgreatly, and allowed GambarottaGschwendt to sell numerous units to someimportant Chinese companies.

NORD geared motors for gravel pits and quarries - lower costs, greater efficiency

The NorStone AG gravel works in Tau inSouth West Norway has changed over torobust geared motors from NORDDRIVESYSTEMS. The result: lowerinvestment costs, increased operatingreliability, better process reliability as wellas reduced energy consumption due to

improved efficiency.NorStone is Norway’s largest producer

of crushed stone and gravel products. As inmany gravel pits, quarries and similaroperations, the conveyor belts in the Taugravel works are powered by universaljoint shafts and belt drives. Then,

HeidelbergCement AGdecided to change over torobust geared motors fromNORD, which proved to be asuccess. The direct driveshave made a significantcontribution to the improve -ment in reliability of 4.5%within three years. TheNORD geared motors notonly brought increasedreliability and a reduction inthe time and costs requiredfor maintenance, but also theinvestment costs for thepurchase of new gear unitswere comparatively lower.

“With the conversionfrom universal shaft jointsand belt drives to directgeared motor drives fromNORD DRIVESYSTEMS, wefirst of all avoid theconsiderable wear on the

belts. As well as this, water and dustcannot enter the drives. The decision forthe solution with compact and robustgeared motor units brought clearadvantages and has proved to be a wisechoice,” summarizes Per Thu, ProductionManager at the NorStone works.

In April 2020 NORD DRIVESYSTEMSannounced its new MAXXDRIVE® XTseries, which supplements the provenMAXXDRIVE industrial gear units forapplications with high thermal limitpowers. The new gear units do not requireexternal cooling and are especially suitablefor belt conveyors used in the bulkmaterial and mineral industries.

CONTINUED TARGETED DEVELOPMENT FOR

NORD MAXXDRIVE INDUSTRIAL GEAR

UNITS

The latest MAXXDRIVE® XT generationfeatures an application-optimized two-stage helical bevel gear unit, especiallysuitable for belt conveyor systems. Thepower and speed range was especiallydesigned for industries in which low speedratios are required in combination withhigh powers. In the bulk material andmineral industries for example, particularlyrobust solutions are required which areresistant to dirt and are reliable underrough operating conditions.

MAXXDRIVE® XT industrial gear units

are available in seven sizes for powers from1.5 to 1,500kW. Output torques rangebetween 15 and 75kNm with speed ratiosfrom 6.14 to 22.91. In contrast to theprevious industrial gear units, as standardthe series is equipped with a heavily ribbedUNICASE housing and an integrated axialfan. Due to the increased surface and theair guide covers, the cooling air flow isoptimized and a very high thermal limiting

power is achieved. In many cases,additional cooling is not required. Largeroller bearings and centre distancesincrease the load capacity and service lifeof the components.

In 2019, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS washonoured with the Bulk Handling Award inthe category ‘Excellence in the Applicationof Gears, Motors and Drives’ for thisinnovative concept.

high angle conveyor

shiploader in the Port

of Adelaide in

Australia.

There are many ways to convey bulkmaterials, and no one knows that betterthan Dos Santos International. Dos SantosInternational is the foremost authority onhigh angle conveyor applications and designof sandwich belt type high angle conveyors.The flagship system is the DSI SandwichBelt high angle conveyor. This systemsandwiches materials between two beltswith a gentle, yet firm, hugging pressure.Materials can be elevated to the highest ofangles (to 90° vertical), through ‘C’ and ‘S’shapes, and other unique profiles. Not onlyis the system versatile, it has proven to beeconomical, mobile and ‘green.’ Join us incounting the ways.

CONVEYORS

Twenty years ago, ‘going green’ wasn’t quitethe popular phrase that it is today.However, that is when Joseph Dos Santos,President of Dos Santos International waspresented with a challenge to go green likeno other. The challenge was to use theleast amount of space possible to processand separate one of Earth’s greatesttreasures…diamonds. The picture on p52shows the surface facilities of Canada’s firstcompletely underground diamond mine,Snap Lake. Snap Lake was the motivationfor the DSI Sandwich Belt Conveyors in theNorthwest Territories.

The Snap Lake ore body is a dyke thatdips an average of 12-15° from thenorthwest shore down under the lake.Kimberlite, the diamond bearing ore, isbrought to the surface to a processingfacility where the diamonds are extracted.Due to the hostile environment, thefacilities must be enclosed and heated. Asmaller footprint for the plant wasdetermined to be the optimal way tominimize environmental impact and cost.

This led to pursuit of the DSI SandwichHigh Angle Conveyor because of itsdesigned space saving features. In theprocess building, the kimberlite must beelevated then discharged into the various

crushing, screening and sorting functions.The original concept was to use amultitude of DSI Sandwich conveyors tominimize the facilities. This was ultimatelyrationalized to require only two sandwichconveyors, which now define the facility’sminimal footprint.

The DSI Sandwich Belt Conveyor’sability to convey at any high angle made itideal. The sandwich belt technologyimparts a gentle yet firm hugging pressureon the material in the belt sandwich.

This allows the precious gems withinthe kimberlite to be elevated at high angleswithout damage or spillage. The Snap Lakeproject incorporates two sandwichconveyors, each travelling to opposite endsof the building. The units werestandardized at 36” belt width to simplifyspare parts inventory. Design of the unitsincluded provision for future upgrade, from275tph (tonnes per hour) to 524tph,merely by increasing the belt speed. Byoperating at the lower speed until theupgrade is required the conveyors optimalenergy efficiency is preserved. The successof the Snap Lake system then led to theincorporation of DSI Sandwich conveyorswith confidence into the Victor Project inNortheastern Ontario. Ontario’s firstdiamond mine incorporated three DSI

Sandwich belt units.

DSI FULLY MOBILE HIGH ANGLE

CONVEYOR SHIPLOADER

Moving on to expanded mobility, there isno better example of the versatility of aDSI Snake than Australia’s first DSI SnakeSandwich High-Angle shiploader at thePort of Adelaide on Australia’s southerncoast. Australia’s first Snake shiploaderelevates a variety of high value ores fromtrucks to ship. Conventional conveyorswould not have fit the limited dock spacewhich required a smaller footprint. DosSantos International, being the world’sforemost authority on high angle conveyingwas able to fit the space easily by being ableto elevate at a 50° angle. If fitting the spaceweren’t enough, DSI went a step above andcreated a mobile shiploader to elevate thematerials with ease.

Materials for export are trucked to thedock and dumped onto a special traploader type feeder. The ore is fedcontinuously and uniformly onto themobile snake’s receiving chute. The Snakeshiploader elevates the bulk over the ship’sdeck to the hatch where it is dischargedinto the ship’s hold. At the Snake’sdischarge, a special telescoping chute, with

in any direction. With the tail tyres fixed,the front tyres can be oriented andtravelled for a slewing motion.

The unit was complete in November2006. This first DSI Snake shiploader forAustralia has set the pace for many morehigh volume high-angle installations atmaterials handling docks and yardsthroughout the world.

DSI OVERLAND CONVEYORS

There can be no finer example of DSI’sability to exceed all customer requirementsthan the system at Goldcorp’s Los Filosgold mining site. This gold mining project,located in the Nukay mining district ofcentral Guerrero State in southern Mexicois one the largest gold mines in the world.

Los Filos is a heap leach operation. Theore size is reduced at the crushing plantand then it is hauled to the valley where itis stacked on engineered pads. A chemicalsolution is sprayed onto the ore, whichextracts and absorbs the gold as it tricklesthrough the ore. To regulate seepage rate,agglomerate (cement) is mixed into the orefor optimal ore exposure to the solution.Ultimately, the solution is directed to theplant where the gold is precipitated out.

A previous short-lived system conveyedthe ore from the crushing plant to the leachpads via a glory hole ore pass and anunderground conveyor, through the hill. Anagglomeration drum mixed in theagglomerate before final delivery to theleach pads. This conveying system

experienced material flow problems rightfrom the start, especially during heavy rains.The sticky ore tended to plug up the orepass. Geological instability ultimatelycollapsed the ore pass, putting thetransport system out of service only fourmonths into its operation.

Against this background, M3 Engineeringwas tasked with developing an alternateconveying route quickly since all haulagewas now by truck and very expensive. Thelogical, most direct and economical pathwas over the same hill (rather than under).The path required a down-hill high angleconveyor; thus, Dos Santos Internationalwas approached about its DSI SandwichBelt high angle conveyor. Being the bestsolution, DSI was awarded the contract inMarch 2009 for a downhill high-angleconveying system which it dubbed the DSIG.P.S. (Gently Pressed Sandwich) high angleconveyor.

Concerns with geological instabilityremained, especially along the path of theDSI GPS. Further geological scrutiny led toabandoning this path altogether, thusabandoning the DSI GPS as well. M3 wasagain tasked with developing an alternateconveying path. This time a conventionalconveyor system was developed, followingthe already developed truck ramps. DosSantos International again submitted itsproposal for the project, now an overlandconveyor system. The project was awardedto DSI May 19, 2009.

The Dos Santos International proposalincluded two important commitmentssolely for the customer’s benefit:v DSI would maximize use of the

conveying equipment and structure,already at the mine, from the collapsedand abandoned through-the-hillconveying system; and

v the awarded ten-flight system appearedto be a candidate for furtherrationalization and cost reduction, usinghorizontal curves to amalgamatesuccessive conveyor flights. The DSIproposal included an amalgamationstudy as the first order of business.

Both commitments were fulfilled reapingsubstantial cost savings to the customer.

In the former case, the conveyordubbed, ‘TB25’, was engineered to use allexisting conveyor equipment and structure.Though the arrangement is entirely new,the equipment and support steel arereused from the previous system. The headdrive terminal is the only component ofTB25 that has new equipment. New steelat the support bents, minor framing, and anew discharge chute make up only a smallportion of the total structure.

In the latter case, the amalgamationstudy revealed that six conveyor flightscould be reduced to three when joinedwith horizontal curves. The ten flightsystem was reduced to seven flights. TB26,TB28 and TB29, each with a horizontalcurve, are products of the study.

The DSI expertise thus provedparticularly advantageous using thehorizontal curves to simplify the systemand to reduce both capital and operatingand maintenance costs. Additionally, thethird conveyor flight, TB27 is especiallyengineered to accomplish theagglomeration by mixing through five

intermediate tripped transfers. Theen-route agglomeration, conceived byGoldcorp, results in substantial savings byeliminating the need for the additionalagglomerating drum.

The overland conveying path ispredominantly downhill. While thispresents the normal controlled starting andstopping problems, it also presents greatsavings opportunities. The downhill flightsare decisively regenerative. The drivemotors, now generators, feed power backinto the grid that powers the other mineequipment. These carefully engineeredconveyors are equipped with variablefrequency drives to ensure operation atmaximum efficiency. This is anotherexample of DSI’s commitment to ‘green’conveying.

How do we convey thee?

v steeply, firmly, gently;v curving, vertically and horizontally;v tripping, agglomerating; andv elevating and lowering.

We count these but a few of the many wayswe can convey bulk materials. Still, DosSantos International continues to exploreand expand the range of materials handlingmethods like no other in the industry. DSIremains at the forefront of bulk solidshandling.

IPCC, OPCC – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?IPCC is the popular acronym for In-PitCrushing and Conveying. There is nopopular acronym for Out-of-Pit Crushingand Conveying though it is quite moreprevalent in the mining industry. Theproper acronym in this case would be

OPCC. In any case, from an equipmentstandpoint, in principle there are nodifferences. The mined product, ore orwaste rock, is primary crushed to aconveyable size then it is conveyed to itsrespective destination, primary ore storageat the plant or waste dump. Practically, theimplementation does differ. Generally thecrusher of the OPCC system isstrategically, permanently located. Thecrusher of an IPCC system is located in thepit, sitting on the ore body. It must bemoved periodically as the mine expands.So the crusher must be relocatable ormobile depending on the mine plan. The in-pit conveying system must likewise berelocatable or mobile. The high angleconveyor advantage in this case isundeniable.

It offers complete conformance to themine slopes requiring no special excavationor rehandling and because it offers theshortest distance between the two endpoints (receiving to discharge) it is compactand more easily made relocatable ormobile.

IPCHAC, OPCHACThough to a much lesser extent, DosSantos Sandwich Belt high angle conveyorshave been used as part of IPCC systemsand OPCC systems, hence the proposednew acronyms IPCHAC and OPCHAC.The high angle advantage is greatest in thepit. The advantage was exploited at theMajdanpek Copper mine in Serbiathroughout the 1990s. The system hadsignificant features including 2,000mm-widebelts continuously elevating 250mm coarseore at 4,000tph. The net elevating heightwas 6 x 15-metre benches; 90 metres. Thetotal lift was 93.5 metres which includedthe transfer height at discharge. Thesystem scaled the benched mine wall at amere 35.5° without any special excavationto accommodate the system. The systemwas a resounding success and fulfilled itstechnical and economic objectives:v it precluded tripling of the truck fleet;v it precluded the need for 4km of

haulage ramps, 3.5km of which would beat constant ascent; and

v it saved US$12 million per year.

Despite the resounding success Dos SantosSandwich Belt high angle conveyors havenot again been incorporated into anIPCHAC system though many wereinstalled at OPCHAC systems andunderground mines handling the sameprimary crushed ore and rock product.

It is against this background that wepresent the study of high angle versusconventional conveying at an EasternEuropean copper/gold mine.

STUDY OF HIGH ANGLE VS CONVENTIONAL

CONVEYING AT EASTERN EUROPEAN

COPPER/GOLD MINE

A study was conducted by Dos SantosInternational in a copper mine located in amountainous terrain in southeasternEurope. The mine plan locates the primaryore crusher at the pit perimeter and theprocessing plant more than 300 metres ofelevation above the crusher. The customerrecognized this to be an ideal route for highangle conveying. To optimize the high angleconveyor system the customer turned tothe expertise of Dos Santos International.

The general design parameters are

summarized in table 1.The system is to use a conventional

sacrificial conveyor from the crusher to thestart of the high angle conveyor systemthen the high angle conveyor system to theore stockpile at the plant.

DSI first addressed the issues of beltwidth and belt speed for the types ofconveyors envisioned:v conventional troughed belt sacrificial

conveyor;v Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor with

steel cord-reinforced belts; andv Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors with

multi-ply fabric reinforced belts.

Driven by the material size more than bythe modest volumetric design rate, DSIchose the appropriate belt widths and beltspeeds:v 1,400mm BW at 2.0m/s for the

sacrificial conveyor;v 1,800mm BW at 2.5m/s for the

Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors withsteel cord belts; and

v 2,000mm BW at 2.5m/s for DSISandwich Belt high angle conveyors withfabric belting.

Belting and equipment recommendationsfollow including 12.7mm Grade 1 orecarrying covers, CEMA E6 idlers, shaftmounted drive arrangements and VFDstarting and load sharing control. Take-upsystems are automatic hydraulic.

First, DSI conceptually designed andspecified the conventional sacrificialconveyor and provided a technical and

capital cost summary. From that pointcame the main purpose of the study —optimizing the high angle conveyor system.

At this copper/gold mine, the greatadvantage of the sandwich belt high angleconveying system is its ability to followclosely the natural topography, requiringminimal earthwork or elevated structure,as there is no limitation in conveying angle.The overall slope of the high angle path isactually very modest. The first exercisecompared a single flight main high angleconveyor against two multi flight options —a two flight and a three flight system. Thesingle- and two-flight systems requiredsteel cord belts for the high belt tensionsdeveloped. Because of the high elasticmodulus, this precluded the tight transitioncurves that are possible with fabric belting.The large curves could challenge thesystem’s ability to conform closely to thenatural topography. The results of thiscomparison showed the three flight systemto be most conforming to the topographybut also the most expensive. This is largelyowed to the wider and very costly2,000mm belts required.

belt options, because of their larger curves,did require some elevated structure butthis was minor compared to the overalllength.

Because of the less expensive, lowerstrength belting and its consequence, thetwo flight system proved to be slightly lessexpensive than the single flight systemdespite the additional terminal equipment.

The work to that point was presentedto the customer. Based on the optionspresented, despite the minor costpremium, the customer chose the singleflight system for its advantages of reducedtransfers and location of all majorequipment at the terminal ends where easyaccess for maintenance exists.

For convenience, the previouscomparison did not deal with thecomplications of the material stacking overthe stockpile. All systems also utilized GPS(gently pressed sandwich) pressing rollsover the entire length of the cover belt.Pursuant to the additional optimization,Dos Santos International first investigatedthe need for GPS rolls over the full length.This revealed that it was possible to

eliminate about 67% of the GPS rollswithout negatively affecting other aspectsof the design.

DSI adjusted the design accordingly, thenproceeded to the stacking systemoptimization. DSI first considered fourstacking variations, but quickly reducedthese to two — taking the main high angleconveyor directly to discharge over thestockpile or taking the main high angleconveyor only to the pile base, theredischarging onto a separate high anglestacker that delivers the material up to thestockpile. In order to keep the drives atgrade level, the former required additionalhigh tension pulleys at each belt.

These, along with their implications,resulted in a more expensive solution,compared to a less expensive version forthe latter main high angle conveyor withindependent high angle stacker. Besides thefavourable economics, the latter systemalso may have the advantage of a materialescape option if implemented by divertingthe material flow to a side stacker. In thislight, the customer chose the latterarrangement, a main high angle conveyor

with an independent stacker to thestockpile. This is depicted in the figureabove.

The above combined with the sacrificialconveyor determines the completeconveying system from the primary crusherto the ore stockpile.

The total system is summarizedtechnically in Table 2 below.

The final system consists of thesacrificial conveyor, a main GPS high angleconveyor to the base of the ore stockpile,and an independent GPS high angle stacker.

A final meeting and inspection of theore conveying path from the crusherlocation to the ore stockpile locationrevealed what was expected from thedrawings and the path developed. Thus DSIbelieves that the Sandwich Belt high angleconveyors system developed will have thefavourable technical and economiccharacteristics that were presented in thestudy and report.

The customer has agreed and the finalhigh angle conveying system inincorporated as an integral, vital part of themine plan that will begin in 2018.

A new shiploader with a capacityof 1,200tph (tonnes per hour)arrived on 8 October at thecompany Soufflet in Rouen,France. After four previoussuccessful installations in theregion, the Neuero KIKO DSHhas convinced port operatorswith its efficient operation andhigh dust suppression, due tomass flow control.

The shiploader was assembledentirely and transported using aheavy lift ship. The site on thejetty does not have sufficientspace to allow conventionalassembly on site. The mostsignificant advantage of this modeof transport is the shortdowntime of the terminal.

However, such transport isnot easy and requires a lot ofplanning and preparation.Therefore Neuero and Souffletalready defined the method ofshipment at the beginning of theproject. The lifting points neededto be integrated into the design of themachine, as well as some lashing points.

What is the difference that makes the

KIKO DSH operate efficiently and to thehighest environmental standards availabletoday?

The answer is a combinationof mass flow and pendulummovements. The mass flowallows for loading of the cargo atlow speeds, reducing dustemissions. Neuero’s shiploaderdoes not eliminate the dustentirely, but reduces itsignificantly, avoiding thesegregation of the product andthrough the low materialdischarge speed. Old systemsthrow the product at boomheight and try to stop it at arrival,especially during the hatchtrimming work where it isneeded to fill all gaps that thedifference is visible.

The pendulum movement thatwe call kick in kick out (KIKO)allows the loading head to movesimultaneously with the verticaltelescope and enclosed system.Additionally, the slewingmovement allows for reaching allareas of the hold, including thecorners.

Initial costs are important but it iscrucial to ensure that all investments arefuture-proofed.

Mining and port operations rely on aneffective and highly productive rail loadoutsystem. Capital costs for rail infrastructureare key contributors to overall productioncosts. Therefore, maximizing rail utilizationefficiency is crucial to the success of bulkmaterials handling operations.

THE CHALLENGE OF LOADING RAILCARS

High variability in human control andunreliable optical sensors can result in alarge railcar payload standard deviation.Overloaded railcars can incur penalty fees,increase the frequency of track cleaning,and increase the risk of derailment.Underloaded railcars decrease throughputand increase costs per tonne.

Current technologies in train loadoutsystems deploy light barriers with reflectorbars for gap detection, large track scalesystems, photoelectric cells (PE cells) andmultiple cameras. The systems are charac -ter ized by many manual control inter -actions, which operators must manage.Typically, operators need to control chuteopening and dosage of material, adapt tovariable train speeds and extremely lowvelocities, and recognize different types ofrailcars and wagon sizes. The operators tryto load a higher number of railcars perhour, while also trying to reduce spillage inreclaim tunnels and loadout stations.

An efficient train loadout processrequires reliability and repeatability, whichunfortunately cannot be achieved byoperators with varying experience andability. A modern automated system is,therefore, better suited to perform thesetasks since a PLC can process moreinformation simultaneously than a humanoperator and does so with greater speedand reliability. Furthermore, a human eyemight not even be capable of processingcertain key variables such as detectingspeeds and calculating distances.

“If you cannot measure it, you cannotautomate it.” Consequently, an automatedsystem can only work as well as its inputs.

Therefore, 3D measurements of therelevant loadout details are key for loadoutPLC automation:v Was the car empty when it entered the

loadout? How much material is in thecar?

v How quickly is the chute loading thecar?

v Is the density changing? What is themoisture content and what effect doesit have?

v How is the load distributed in the car?What maximum axle loads can leave thestation?

v Is the train fully loaded? Is it overloaded?

HOW ILOADOUT CAN HELP

The iLoadout Solution is based on a reliablemulti-sensor concept comprising theindurad DopplerVelocityRadar iDVR forrailcar speed measurement, the induradScanningDynamicRadar iSDR for materialprofiling, and the induradLinearDynamicRadar iLDR for gapdetection and photoelectric cells (PE cells)replacement.

All data is merged into a complex,

sector-based model for volumetric control.The sensors are vertically mounted withinthe rail loading station near the chutes orclam gates on the incoming and outgoingsides, as well as horizontally beside thetracks.

For reclaim tunnel loadout systems,indurad also installs an induradScanningDynamicRadar (iSDR) for top-uploading control. This enables an evenmaterial distribution of ore within thewagon by identifying and then fillingtroughs, resulting in greater wagon capacityutilization with better load distribution andtherefore less front to back bogie bias.

The solution is fully modular and can becustomized to fit into any loadoutconfiguration in all types of operatingconditions, including dust, rain, snow, ice,and fog.

WHAT ILOADOUT OFFERS

The automation of train loading can lead tosignificant benefits for operators –including:v capacity improvements — utilize exact

railcar capacity — a typical iLoadoutproject results in an additional 1.5tonnes per railcar;

v faster operations — prevent delayscaused by overloading, optimize trainspeeds in the loadout; and

v reduce errors such as spillage, doublematerial handling, manual ‘handling’errors.

iLoadout automation projects are offeredwith site audits & performance guaranteesby indurad.

Van Beek’s Dino: preventative maintenance measures and ergonomicstep ensure it is ready for anything in the bulk handling fieldSMART DINO FULLY READY FOR

INDUSTRY 4.0The Dino Wireless Monitoring Systemdeveloped by Van Beek makes preventative,cost-saving maintenance on the Smart Dinobulk truck loader possible. With thisinnovative solution, Van Beek again provesit is leading the way and ready for theSmart Industry, also known as Industry 4.0.Roel Kneepkens, alias Mr Bulk Truck Loaderand sales engineer at Van Beek, has been thecompany’s customers’ point of contact forthe Dino bulk truck loader for over tenyears.

“At Van Beek we are pioneers. We wantto continue to lead the way and thereforefocus on innovation and furtherdevelopment. The Internet of Things (IoT)is now very hot and making the Dino smart

was a logical step for us,” says ‘Mr. BulkTruck Loader’, the alter ego of Kneepkenson social media. Due to his extensiveknowledge and years of experience in thearea of the Dino bulk truck loaderKneepkens was intensively involved in itsfurther development into a ‘Smart Dino’.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

In the process industry predicting whenmaintenance is necessary is usually carriedout based on averages. For example abearing is usually due for replacement afterx number of operating hours. To givegreater certainty and avoid waste, Van Beekdeveloped the Dino Wireless MonitoringSystem. The system consists of varioussensors with its own internet connection.As a result, the condition of the machine

can be monitored online in real time. Inthis way, components are replaced just intime and that prevents malfunctions.Remote read-out can also avoid a mechanichaving to visit, for example if the systemregisters that a hatch has just not beenclosed properly. “Time is money. We savecosts for the customer, by helping themremotely. From our office in Drunen wecan look at this with the customer and canquickly register or avoid malfunctions”,explains Kneepkens.

DINO 4.0 ON TOUR

The Dino 4.0 attracts a lot of attention attrade fairs. “Visitors respond positively andwith interest. People always stop and lookat how such a ‘simple’ machine as a screwconveyor can include such great

applications and technical features,” saysKneepkens proudly. “For customers andvisitors the vibration meter and hourcounter are the most favourite features.This makes it possible to anticipate thesituation and the user is not unpleasantlysurprised.”

FAVOURITE FEATURE

Kneepkens is himself most attracted by the‘location identifier: “With this we can see inreal time where in the world all the Dinosare being used and what their status is. Theplan is to display this on a big screen. I amlooking forward to being able to look at agiant dashboard showing all ‘my’ Dinos withred, orange and green lamps.”

NEW STEP MAKES DINO MOBILE BULK

TRUCK LOADER MORE ERGONOMIC AND

SAFER

Ergonomic products prevent hazardousworking conditions and reduced labourproductivity. Ergonomics is held in highregard at Van Beek and the companycontinues to offer its products fitted withthe latest developments in this area. This iswhy Marleen Verschoor, MechanicalEngineer at Van Beek, has worked on thepresent step for bulk truck loaders and wasable to transform them into an even safer,more ergonomic and attractive successor.

PLATFORM

The old step still dates from the time of the

very first Dino. There have never been anycomplaints and, according to Van Beek, the

step has always functioned extremely well.But it was time to give it a new look, so that

it would no longer detract from themodern look that the bulk truck loader hasbeen given in recent years. “An additionalplatform has been provided above the step,to make it safer for the operator.Previously you had to operate the handwinch of the loading bellows from the top

step. There was room for improvementhere, because you first had to hang halfwaythrough the step. Now it has beenergonomically improved and the loadingbellows can be operated easily from theplatform above the step,” says Verschoor.

FIRMER AND MORE STABLE

Furthermore the platform is not the onlyimprovement in the area of safety. Thesteps are also now longer, to give moreroom for the foot and the operator has afirmer and stable footing. Verschoor says,“This hand winch is an option, but becausecertainly three quarters of our bulk truckloaders are equipped with a loadingbellows, we have also decided to improvethis immediately.” For the new design theMechanical Engineer looked forco-operation with an industrial designer, sothere is also something for the eye.“Thanks to the designer the lines of thestep railing are now more streamlined, it isalong the same lines as the Dino. He wentto work with our wishes and the existingstep. I have taken a look at other safetyaspects and made the steps longer,” saysVerschoor.

OLD STEP STILL AVAILABLE

Although all the new Dino models willsoon be fitted as standard with the newstep, the old model is still available.“Suppose there are customers whopurchased a new bulk truck loader last yearand want to order exactly the same thingagain, they can still have the old step,” saysVerschoor. Due to the smart use of thesame assembly points it is also possible tofit the new step on Dinos that have beensupplied previously.

The new step is at present in thedevelopment phase, which will be followedby a thorough testing period. Verschoorexpects there to be minimal adjustmentsafter testing, which means that the step willbe available shortly.

Probably the simplest — but at the sametime an effective and inexpensive way ofloading bulk cargo — is a portableconveyor line. Such a line can be built usinga mobile hopper/feeder, mobile conveyorand mobile shiploader. The key word isportable and indeed, why not to choose aflexible option that makes it possible toequip a terminal with minimum investment,with the possibility of easy switching todifferent cargo types, low maintenanceexpenses and very attractive option of

it has worked incessantly in its efforts toreduce the emission of particulates into theair, the main contaminant and polluteragent present in plants and processes thatinvolve the movement of solid bulk.

Within this context, TMSA shiploadersare widely used in port terminals. Older,outdated equipment for loading ageingvessels can be a particular source of dustemissions, polluting the atmosphere andwater sources, with a detrimental effect onthe population and the environment.

TMSA shiploaders stand out for theirefficiency in containing the emission ofsuspended particulates. Three of itscomponents are relevant and deserveincreased attention from managersinterested in mitigating the generation ofcontaminant dust in their port terminals: v completely enclosed belt conveyors; v tripper and transfer kicks between

conveyors, with design and privilegedsealing systems; and

v filling tube into vessel holds, also knownas a telescopic tube, with a specialsystem for dust suppression.

ENCLOSED BELT CONVEYOR

TMSA has developed the most modernenclosed conveyor on the market, withpassive control of particulate emissions.Fully enclosed and sealed, it keeps productand powder confined inside the transportarea, while all roller and drum bearingbearings remain installed in an area outsidethe enclosure, away from the areas of dustconcentration and risk of explosion.Enclosed conveyors are durable, robust andefficient.

They deliver the contracted capacitywithout any possibility of product spillageand particulate generation in the externalenvironment, preserving the traditionalcharacteristics of quality and operationalguarantee of TMSA equipment.

TRIPPER AND TRANSFER KICKS

These are modelled with the use of state-of-the-art software to evaluate productflow behaviour. Such measures, in additionto reducing premature wear and tear,provide significant reductions in productdegradation and dust generation.

SHIP’S TUBE FILLERS

Similar modelling criteria are adopted inthe design of various tips systems for theloading tube of ships. Equipment is

designed with the function of lowering andreducing dust emissions in the fillingprocess of the cans. TMSA has developeddifferentiated concepts of tips that allowthe use in new loaders and existing loaders,through retrofitting processes.

The product portfolio provides tips withan active system to reduce particulates insuspension, as well as very passive systems,without the use of electric, hydraulic orcompressed air. It includes its ownsolutions developed by TMSA, licensedproduction solutions or solutions incommercial partnership with world leadersin telescopic tube technologies perfectlyadapted and incorporated into TMSAshiploaders.

TMSA SOLUTIONS FOR DUST-SUPPRESSING

TIPS AND LOADING TUBES INCLUDE:1. DUST TRAP MODEL TIP WITH SUCTION SYSTEM

Dust Trap with suction system, is a tipsolution with rubber skirt and filterelements. The tip should be seated on theproduct so that the skirt seals the dustgenerated in the free fall of the product.

In addition, the tip can be made availablewith a distribution shell, called spoon, tofacilitate trimming operations, or stowing,when the filling of the ship’s hold is finished

with the last product loads. At completion,the tip filters do not operate, and werecommend using the spoon only on thefilling. The tip can rotate approximately360° allowing for large volumes of stowage.This equipment is installed in free falltelescopic tubes and needs electrical andpneumatic energy for its operation.

2. TIP MODEL DUST TRAP ACTIVE CONTROL

This is a shell tip with a mechanism thatthickens the product through an activecontrol system of the discharge openingthrough a hydraulic system. As this processcontrols the correct filling of the spoon, itmakes it very independent of thecharacteristics of the product. For thistype of tip, it is important that the loadingtip be close to the product tip in thebasement, because the excessive height offall influences the good result in theabatement of the suspended particulate.

This equipment requires power supplyto the tip. The spoon rotatesapproximately 360°, which allows for agood distribution of the product andpresents an excellent stowing factor.

This type of tip is normally installed intelescopic tubes of kick in-kick out chargersystem, also called pensile loader.

3. DUST SUPPRESSOR MODEL TIP WITH DSH* TMSA has a licence to sell, distribute andmanufacture the DSH* dust suppressorhopper throughout South America. Thisequipment also works with the principle ofproduct densification. Particles of less than500 micrometers are driven and confined

through a coherent flow of the product.The main advantage of this model is thepossibility that the distance between the tipand the product can reach relatively largevalues without causing loss of performance.

It has a passive system for controllingparticulate emissions. The response toproduct flow variation is performed bymeans of springs and previously regulatedcables. Due to its own small weight andrelative low product overload, thepossibility of customization of the DSH* tipis great, thus making it possible tocustomize its installation in existingtelescopic tubes.

It does not require electrical orhydraulic power for its operation.

In specific cases where it is important toavoid any product remnants, when changingbasement or post-operation, a pneumaticcleaning system may be provided ondemand.

LOADING TUBE

When requested and on demand, TMSAshiploaders can be supplied withadaptations to allow for theimplementation of telescopic fittings andtubes produced by third parties. Anexample of third-party equipmentsuccessfully applied to TMSA shiploaders, isthe Cleveland Cascade* tube, a worldreference in loading tubes. As the namealready indicates, the product seeps into atelescopic trunk, ‘cascading’ into trunk-conical geometry pieces with specialprofile. In this configuration, the product infall does not gain speed, the beneficial effectof which is that it generates very littlepowder.

The discharge end of the trunk has askirt that should touch the productdeposited in the basement, sealing the airoutlet from the lower end.

The weight of the product accumulatedin the trunk is usually very high requiring amore robust shiploader that is able towithstand larger overloads, disfavouring itsapplication in existing equipment.

CUSTOMIZATION

The number of alternative solutions andthe flexibility of customization of TMSAshiploaders is extensive and varied.

The solutions can be adjustedconveniently, meeting the specificities andneeds of each project. With 54 years ofoperation, TMSA is fully able to meet themost diverse demands of the market.

When it comes to staying ontrack, the K-Commander® seriesfrom Kinder Australia has asolution for any application ofmaterial transportation. A poorlytracked conveyor belt can lead toa number of productivity andsafety issues.

Damage to the conveyor beltitself as well as the conveyorstructure is a major problem. Asthe belt misaligns, the edge of theconveyor belt is at risk ofbecoming torn. The conveyorstructural damage is also highlylikely, which is a significant safetyrisk. Replacement of both isextremely costly and will requireinterruption in production andadded labour. Another issue as aresult of belt misalignment isoften material spillage. As well asthe cost of product wastage,excess material can increase therisk of personnel slipping, tripping, fallingover and becoming entangled. Materialspillage can also damage idlers and cancause conveyor rollers to seize.

The ideal scenario whereby a conveyorbelt tracks ‘true’ in the centre, involvesidlers and pulleys being aligned, levelled andsquare to centre line prior to loading thebelt. It should be pivoting and rotatingfreely when the belt experiences anymistracking behaviour. Other optionsinclude fixed tracking solutions withoutrotating structure. In order to install any

one of the K-Commander® series, the beltneeds to be monitored in order to identifyany problem areas that cannot be solved bymaking adjustments.

The K-Commander® Exceed Series is anall-direction belt tracking solution featuringflexible 360° rotational capability, with itsseparate axial and rotational functionallowing for the double axis pivot bush. TheK-Commander® Exceed Series P has beendesigned with two key stages. The firststage focuses on the inner shell whichcontains the shaft and an engineeredpivoting bush allowing the axial movementof the tracker. The inner shell is protectedby a flexible EPDM rubber boot. Thesecond stage focuses on the roller bearings,which allows the rotational movement ofthe tracker. The roller bearings connect theinner shell and the outer shell and areprotected by a labyrinth seal.

The installation of the K-Commander®

Control Series is only for the return side,being the most critical surface of the belt inorder to maintain belt alignment. Theunique engineered action of the central balland socket link is encased in a rubbercovered steel tube. This protects theinternal mechanics and ensures that thebelt runs true.

The K-Commander® Direct Series are apivoting base style, available in both troughand return applications automaticallyproviding belt centring. The outboardservo rollers cause the idler frame to pivotas they contact the belt edge and thisswivel action causes the belt to realign

automatically. To further aid belt tracking,Kinder Australia offer rubber lagged rollers(trough and return) as an option for thebelt tracker. The results are better trackingperformance (especially in heavy dutyapplications), increased roller durabilityagainst the constant scuffing nature rollershells in trackers experience and increasedbelt training response.

Made of highly wear-resistantpolyurethane, the K-Commander® TrackingDiscs fit both flat and vee return rollers aswell as selected troughing rollers. Ideally,they are located in pairs prior to the tailpulley to help align the conveyor belt, andso eliminating spillage from mis-trackedbelts. They can also be installed after thefeed area on troughing sets to help keepthe belt aligned. They are easy to installwith a split on one side to slip over theroller — no need to remove the roller.

Finally, the K-Commander® Guide SeriesINV is an all-purpose conveyor beltalignment idler ideally suited to shortcentred or reversing conveyor applications.The two inverted vee rollers put pressuredown onto the belt, promoting centralizedbelt training. The universal frame adjusts toall types of mounting structures and isinstalled just after the head pulley, or priorto the tail pulley. They are suitable forreversing belt and are available for all beltwidths.

The team at Kinder Australia can assistwith customers’ belt tracking with theinstallation of a solution from theK-Commander® series.

PERFECT FOR COAL STORAGE

Hard coal is temporarily stored instockpiles and then continuously fed to beprocessed, as needed. The design of thedepositories must ensure constant fillingand reliable emptying. The requiredcapacity is determined based on theincoming and outgoing conveying flow.Different stacking and reclaiming options aswell as various layouts for the stockpilesare also needed. BEUMER Group providesthe engineering for handling stockpiles andoffers the required components to coalmine operators, such as stackers andreclaimers.

BEUMER Group offers a comprehensiveproduct and system solutions portfolio tocustomers from the coal mining industry.Conveying technology includes closed pipeconveyors and open troughed belt

conveyors that can be adjusted to therespective situation. As a system supplier,BEUMER Group also provides extensiveknow-how and the necessary componentsfor storing hard coal, e.g. stackers andbridge reclaimers. “We support ourcustomers immediately from the designphase,” says Andrea Prevedello, SystemTechnology Global Sales Director, BEUMERGroup, Germany. Drone technology isused more and more frequently duringproject planning, implementation anddocumentation to optimize the designphase. The recorded aerial photos arerectified with regard to their perspectiveand evaluated photogrammetrically. Thesoftware calculates a point cloud in orderto generate 3D models from the two-dimensional views, i.e. digital terrainmodels. Stockpiles can now be greenfield

and brownfield developments. “We have some major customers with

very interesting projects in this sector,”explains Prevedello. This most certainlyincludes Prairie Eagle Mine in Illinois, thelargest coal mine of Knight Hawk Coal.This is one of the most efficientunderground mining plants in the US. Itproduces approximately five million tonnesof coal annually, of which more than 80 % isprocessed and delivered in Prairie Eagle.

Management was looking for a moresustainable operating solution. “Weprovided an overland conveyor thattransports the coal from the mine to themain processing plant,” describesPrevedello. “Our conveyor helps thecompany to considerably reduce itsecological footprint.

long-term environmental impact comparedto using truck transportation.” BEUMERGroup not only supplied the conveyingsolution. As a system supplier, the companyalso supported the mining group in buildinga stockpile for hard coal. “The require -ments for storing coal are obviously verydifferent from other materials,” explainsPrevedello. Some of the importantrequirements are changing if the stockpileis covered and if explosion-proof specificequipment is needed. Hard coal is verysusceptible to spontaneous combustion,which is why the height of the stockpilemust be in certain cases limited.

CIRCULAR OR LONGITUDINAL STOCKPILE?Depending on the customer, stockpile

dimensions and design can vary. Twolayouts are generally available: circular andlongitudinal. “Their dimensioning anddesign depend on the purpose of thestockpile,” describes Prevedello. Spaceavailability and possible future expansionsare also critical factors. The applicationmust also be considered: does thecustomer want to store the bulk materialtemporarily, then continuously feed it forfurther processing, like Knight Hawk?“Then longitudinal stockpiles are your bestchoice,” says Prevedello. They can also beextended, if necessary. The irregular flow ofbulk material arrives at the stockpile andcan then be continuously introduced to theprocess. Circular stockpiles are frequentlyused for other bulk materials as well, e.g.

for limestone, clay. This is particularly usedby cement manufacturers and power plantoperators.

But back to coal. Once the layout of thestockpile has been decided on, the nexttask is to stack the bulk material efficiently.BEUMER Group also provided thesenecessary components such as the stacker.“Depending on its mobility, the systems canbe categorized into three groups,” explainsPrevedello. The stacker can be stationary,travel on rails or be circular with endlessmovement. If the machine is circular withendless movement, it is positioned on acolumn in the centre of the stockpile. Overa conveyor bridge installed above thestockpile, the material is transporteddirectly into the axis of rotation of the

footprint because, compared to transport by truck, the environmental

impact can be significantly reduced in the long term.

stacker and from there distributedcentrally. Depending on the stackingmethod, the boom conveyor can be fixedor it can be lifted and tilted.

IT DEPENDS ON THE METHOD

The stacking method of choice depends onwhether the bulk material is onlytemporarily stored or if it also needs to beblended. “For simple stockpiling withoutblending, we provided with the simple ‘coneshell method’,” describes Prevedello. Thestacker only moves up and down, not slew.The stacker design can be more simpler.This method works for longitudinal as wellas circular stockpiles. For blending the bulkmaterial however, the Chevron method canbe used. The boom of the stacker starts inits lowest position. The first row isdeposited in the centre of the stockpile, thenext rows are layered on it. In longitudinalstockpiles, the stacker usually moves in atilting and slewing motion, in circularstockpiles the stacker moves in a circulatingand luffing motion.

EFFICIENT COAL MINING

“The perfect system solution is always an

optimal relation between stacker andreclaimer,” explains Prevedello. Reclaimerssuch as side reclaimers or bucket wheelremove the material, as necessary. The bestoption for the customer depends again onthe stockpiling task at end. Side reclaimerswork for both types of stockpiles,longitudinal or circular. The bulk materialcan be reclaimed from the front or theside. When reclaiming from the side,scraper chains move the material on a beltconveyor.

Front reclaiming usually uses a rake thatin small side-to-side movements pushes thematerial on a scraper chain to betransported further to the conveyor. Theadvantage is that the bulk material isreclaimed from the entire cross-sectionalarea. Bucketwheel reclaimers are used inparticular when the bulk material, especiallyin large quantities, needs to be blended.

Each operator has their own veryspecific requirements on the stockpile andstockyard machines. This is shown in aproject that BEUMER engineers arecurrently implementing for a customer inthe energy industry. The order includes thedelivery of several conveyors, including pipe

conveyors, and a shiploader. The challenge:“On the ground where we will install oursolution, there can be violent gusts ofwind,” reports Prevedello. “That’s why wepay special attention to the dimensioning ofthe steel structure.” The system providerwill thus be able to hand over a tailor-madesystem to the customer, with investmentexpenditure tailored precisely to him. Theexpected commissioning is scheduled forthe third quarter of 2020.

CenTrax has been developed by the TBKGroup, and is the result of a thoroughanalysis of all aspects of conveyor belttracking. A unique and patented belttracking system with superb trackingcharacteristics, CenTrax will continue to doits job for many years and under allcircumstances.

In mid-2009, the first prototype wasinstalled at TATA Steel IJmuiden. In thefollowing years the belt tracker, supportedby modern simulation software, has beenfurther developed. CenTrax is now usedworldwide to align conveyor beltinstallations, supported by a growingnetwork of distributors.

HOW DOES CENTRAX WORK?As soon as the conveyor belt starts tomistrack, the speed of the two taperedrollers changes. The tapered roller that ison the side that the belt is moving towardsrotates faster. The tapered roller on theopposite side moves slower. When there isa difference in speed, CenTrax belt trackers

immediately engage and guide the conveyor belt back to its correctposition. The combination of tracker rollers with perfect grip andan extremely smooth-running swivel bearing gives CenTrax itsoutstanding tracking characteristics.

KEEPING ARCELORMITTAL’S CONVEYOR BELT ON TRACK

Trouble-free belt transport is crucial for a company likeArcelorMittal in Ghent, Belgium. After an extensive research andtest phase, CenTrax ensures that the conveyor belt remains neatlyin the middle along its entire length. At its location in Ghent,ArcelorMittal Belgium was experiencing severe misalignmentproblems with its 225 conveyor belts, which have a total length of58 kilometres. The damage caused to the conveyor, its structure andunplanned downtime resulted in high costs, loss of production andconsequential losses. Tim Vertriest, reliability engineer atArcelorMittal Ghent, decided to find a solution: “The CenTraxtracking system came out best in our comparison search, and hasproved to be a lasting solution.”

TBK-Group believes in constructive, in-depth co-operation withits customers and looks beyond the problem itself. This is a workingmethod that ArcelorMittal has not failed to notice. “TBK has anexcellent no-nonsense approach, with targeted initiatives to testtheir products on site. Together, we have found a number ofsolutions for areas where our conveyor belts regularly mistracked.We are currently testing the Spill-Ex 2.0® sealing system, which hasbeen newly developed by TBK. This has been fitted to a chute pointwhere we were unable to control the spill. This product also worksexcellently,” says Vertriest.

“There have been areas where the CenTrax tracking systeminitially did not have sufficient impact to improve conveyor tracking.

In this situation, TBK had some excellentideas on what the cause could be. Theyshowed amazing determination to resolvethe issue.” According to the maintenancemanager, TBK-Group distinguishes itself byits driven, safety-conscious employees whoare serious about engaging with customersand honouring agreements made. Inaddition, the CenTrax Belt Tracker cameout best in a comparison carried out byArcelorMittal. ArcelorMittal compared sixsimilar tracking systems, taking intoaccount both their effectiveness andlifespan.

OPERATIONAL UNDER ALL CONDITIONS

CenTrax is the multi-roller belt trackingsystem that distinguishes itself from allothers. Due to the unique, perfectly sealedswivel bearing, the wear-resistant diamondprofiled rollers and a sophisticated designthat prevents build-up of dirt, CenTraxremains operational under all conditions.Therefore, the belt trackers are low inmaintenance costs. The flexible andadjustable frame is easy and quick toassemble. CenTrax is suitable for reversibleconveyors belts and in combination withrollers lined with ATEX compliant rubber,

CenTrax belt trackers can also be used inexplosive hazard areas.

UNIQUE SWIVEL BEARING

The heart of any tracking system is thepivot. A common problem is that dirt, dustand moisture is blocking the pivot, whichmakes the belt tracker stops working. Theexpertise of CenTrax, based on 60 years ofexperience, has developed a pivot point(swivel bearing) that is insensitive to theinfluences of dirt, dust and moisture. Theswivel bearing is oil bath lubricated andcompletely maintenance free.

AUTOCLAVED TRACKER ROLLERS

CenTrax belt trackers contain one or moreflat rollers and two conical rollers. Therobust steel rollers are autoclaved with8mm-thick wear-resistant rubber. Thisguarantees a seamless and permanent bondbetween rubber and steel roller body. Allrollers are provided with a diamondpatterned profile, giving a perfect grip onthe belt.

CEMENT CONVEYOR BELT WITH GARLAND

ROLLERS BACK ON TRACK

A cement factory in the United Kingdom

was experiencing a lot of problems due tomisalignment of a 1,200mm-wide conveyorbelt, fitted with five-part garland rollerpairs. The installation was fitted withtracking systems that were not performingcorrectly.

CenTrax engineers were able to designa custom-made solution. The design, with aCenTrax S-1200 belt tracker as theframework, is based on the existingCenTrax load carrying and return strandtracking systems. For many years, thesesystems have proven to be effective underthe most arduous conditions. Unlike thestandard CenTrax three-roller trackingsystems, the S-1200-5V-P has five rollers(two tapered and three flat rollers). Thesefive rollers have the same trough shape asthe garland roller pairs.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

For companies experiencing misalignmentissues, CenTrax has been designed in such away that the tracker roller system can beinstalled in almost any conveyor beltinstallation. In addition to the standardversion, there are many customizationoptions, which the company’s technical staffcan advise on.

Real-time inventory visibility and management occupy anessential role across the sequence of processes involved inthe production and distribution of a commodity. Thelocation, number and capacity of mining and portoperations within complicated supply chains mean thattheir operational efficiency has a major impact on themarkets they supply. The likelihood of bottlenecks in asupply chain that consists of commodities being sent fromone asset to another is extremely high. A mine sendsmaterial via rail to a port (with limited stockyard capacity),where a ship brings it to another port, from where thematerial may require further handling before reaching itsdestination.

Every asset along the supply chain has many sources ofvariations and interdependencies. The key to improvingproductivity is dealing with the weakest link in the chainand managing capacity buffers to ensure the weakest partof the chain can perform, even when other parts of thechain become inactive. Hence, material buffers are key toproduction rates.

Unfortunately, increasing storage space is capital-intensive in the bulk materials industry as it requires scarcereal estate and capital equipment. Besides that, bulkhandling operations generate dust, often requiring coveredinstallations. Consequently, the question can be raised:how can a mine improve buffering capacity and increaseproduction without large capital projects? iStockpile fromindurad offers a smart way for increasing live capacity.

WHAT IS ISTOCKPILE?iStockpile is a sensor-based scanning system, which hasbeen specifically developed for rough conditions in themining industry. It fulfills the following tasks and services:v real-time and permanent volume and level

measurement of the entire stockpile;v reliable dead stock measurement for precise timing

agendas (e.g. material that always remains in stock);v works reliably in extreme levels of dust and humidity;v one-time calibration with zero maintenance; andv improved stockpile utilization and better buffering

capability.

HOW ISTOCKPILE HELPS

3D modelling of the stockpile can be performed using 3DiSDR sensors mounted on the portal or roof structure ofthe storage. There are options for mobile as well asstationary sensor solutions. The radar sensors can provideboth inventory information and serve as collisionavoidance sensors at the same time.

This solution allows for zone-based volumetricstockpile control even under challenging conditions withsteep craters and rat holes beyond the natural angle ofrepose. The solution is fully modular and can becustomized to fit any stockyard configuration in all types ofoperating conditions, including dust, heat, rain, snow, iceand fog.

WHAT ISTOCKPILE OFFERS

The iStockpile solution offers the followingadvantages for operators — all threeoptions lead to an overall higher stockpilecapacity. This is done by increasingavailability, throughput, and transparency.iStockpile automation projects are offeredwith site audits & performance guaranteesby indurad.v Enabling remote stockpile operation

based on positioning, stockpile scanningand camera integration: highly accuratemachine positioning is realized byemploying GPS, radar, and encoderintegration — providing the client witha complete digital twin of operations.During operation, complete stockpilescans are achieved using 2D radarsensors on the machine boom whichdeliver real-time inventory informationabout 3D volumes during machinemovement. At all times, safe remoteaccess is available via the induradiREMOTE unit.

v Providing assisted operation withmachine movement features: thisincludes the definition of reclaimingpatterns and the determination of idealface-up points. By monitoring thestacking process, dust generation can bemitigated by controlling the boomheight. By monitoring the volume flowrate on reclaimer boom conveyor belts,the bucket wheel throughput can becontrolled. Additionally, collisionavoidance functionalities can beimplemented for preventing potentialunwanted events of machine to pile andmachine to machine.

v Improving machine productivity andkey operation parameters: the allocationof zones/sections to the incomingmaterial within the stockyard is possibleby using volume information provided

by the client on incoming volumes/times(input/output to be defined). Besidesthat, a stacking and reclaiming plan canbe generated (method, pile selection).Important stockyard inventoryinformation like age, grade, supplier, etc.within a block model can also berealized.

In a move to deliver even greaterperformance and flexibility to itslineup of atomized mist cannonsfor odour management and wide-area disinfection, BossTek® hasintroduced a new model with adosing pump to precisely meteradditives such as surfactants,tackifiers, odour treatments anddisinfectants. With a standardcoverage area of more than6,100ft2 square feet (566m2) andadjustable stroke length andfrequency (from one per hour to100 per minute), the DustBoss®

DB-30 Injektor™ was developed inresponse to customer feedback ascompanies in a wide range ofindustries seek to maximize theeffectiveness of this proventechnology. When equipped withoptional 359° oscillation, thecoverage area is increased to awhopping 31,000ft2 (2,880m2).

“Many customers use DustBossequipment in various dust-generating industries but also needa separate piece of equipment toneutralize odour in the air,”explained Chief Engineer JasonLesch. “They wanted one piece ofequipment that could do both, sowe created a new and retrofittablesystem that could act as a dustcontrol and dispersing system foradditives, using water as thevehicle.” Landfills, transfer stations,biomass operations and soilremediation projects are perfectexamples of applications needing asingle system that can deliver bothdust and odour control.

“We’re seeing greater demand forperformance-enhancing additives in avariety of industries,” added VP of SalesMike Lewis. “Throughout our history,we’ve welcomed input from companies thathave specific needs, and that informationhas driven us to engineer a number of newmodels, options and capabilities.”

Lewis explained that while a largepercentage of customers achieve their dustsuppression goals using plain water, the newdesign relieves users of the need tomeasure and mix solutions to achievesuperior performance in specific serviceenvironments. “Odour control and open-area disinfection require the use of specialadditives,” he continued. “Automating theprocess makes it easier and faster, savingtime and reducing potential waste.”

The additive injection system can bespecified for new equipment or retrofittedto existing DustBoss machines. It also canbe paired with an array of options to suitdifferent requirements. For example,BossTek offers a number of nozzle choicesto deliver reduced flow rates, whilemaintaining excellent atomization of theairborne mixture. The new model can alsobe specified with a Variable FrequencyDrive (VFD) to adjust plume size, and it canbe outfitted to accommodate non-potablewater sources.

In addition, the company offers anumber of mounting choices, including arugged skid base, three-wheeled carriage,road-worthy trailers and even towers. Likeexisting DustBoss designs, the DB-30Injektor can be outfitted with a quick-release manifold for easy nozzle

maintenance and a variety of remotecontrol and automation capabilities. Thestandard configuration produces a throw ofmore than 100ft (30m) but uses just4.9–9.8GPM (18.5–37.1LPM) of water tominimize pooling and runoff.

The standard unit is equipped with 30brass nozzles, which can also be specified instainless steel or nylon for particularapplications. The premium-efficiency, directdrive fan motor delivers 9,200CFM of airflow (260.5CMM), while the optional single-phase motor provides 8,000CFM (226.5CMM). Like its larger relatives, the designproduces millions of 50–200 microndroplets per minute, using a common 5/8”(15.8 mm) garden hose for a water supply.

The metering pump housing isconstructed from chemical-resistant, fibre-reinforced thermoplastic, with ceramic ball

Dome construction is nearly complete for Las Vegas gypsum storageShell construction is almost complete for alarge gypsum storage east of Las Vegas,Nevada. Pabco Gypsum is a verticallyintegrated mining and manufacturingfacility that produces 110 million squaremetres of drywall per year. The new domereplaces a 50-year-old steel dome.

The Monolithic Dome built by SouthIndustries is 215 feet diameter by 77 feettall and can store 50,000 tonnes — almost1,000,000 cubic feet — of bulk powdergypsum. The gypsum is mined on-site,crushed, processed, and stored in thedome until it’s needed.

The gypsum is removed via four, 4-footby 4-foot openings along the floor. Thematerial drops through the openings ontoa conveyor and moved to the neighbouringmanufacturing plant. Front-end loaderspush the pile to the openings to keep theprocess moving.

Pabco Gypsum manufactures gypsumboard — also called drywall, wallboard,Sheetrock — for commercial andresidential construction across the west.It’s estimated that seven metric tonnes ofdrywall are used in constructing theaverage US home.

Panorama of inflated airform for Pabco Gypsum near Las Vegas, Nevada. The 215-foot-

diameter Monolithic Dome will store 50,000 tonnes of bulk powder gypsum.

A 215-foot-long tunnel runs underneath thering-beam foundation with four, 4ft x 4ftopenings in the floor. Bulk gypsum fallsthrough the openings onto a conveyor andtransferred to the manufacturing plant.

The tunnel is constructed using a methodsimilar to the dome construction. A 215ft longairform is inflated in a trench then workers goinside, apply 1.5in of polyurethane foam,attach steel, and spray layers of shotcrete. Thefinished wall is 14in thick with dual-layers ofreinforcing steel rebar.

Five large fans inflate the giant airform — note

the man standing on the left.

The yellow polyurethane foam is applied to the

interior surface of the Airform.

Rebar hangars — a small metal plate with a

wire tie — are pushed into the initial foam

layer. More layers embed the stickers, leaving

the wire sticking out for attaching steel rebar.The first of many reinforcing bars are attached

to the rebar hangars embedded in the foam.

Construction continues from the bottom up

with rebar installed for the base and the first

Extraordinary logistics for the EMBA Hunutlu Power Station

In 2019 ESI Eurosilo received the biggestorder in its history with three 100,000m3

coal silos for the EMBA Hunutlu thermalpower station in Turkey. This requiresproduction and project management at anunprecedented level. Getting all themechanical equipment to the building siteis a project in itself. “We’re already at a 100containers — and counting,” says Projectmanager Patrick Spaas.

SECURE SHIPMENT FROM MULTIPLE

PRODUCTION SITES

Due to the large scale of the order, theproduction of equipment and steel parts isspread over several suppliers and multipleproduction sites in Europe. This reallypushes the project management beyondthe ordinary to make sure that thecomplete scope of ESI is delivered on thedesignated date. Spaas explains the impactof the complexity: “Normally we handlemost of the inspections and packing ofgoods at the central warehouse of ESI. Thisis impossible with multiple production sites

in different countries, such as the Czechrepublic, Estonia and of course theNetherlands. We are looking at dozens ofcontainers per supplier and in one caseeven more than 40 containers.”

TIGHT SCHEDULE

“Our job is to deliver everything in goodorder in Istanbul. From Istanbul toHunutlu the transport will be taken care ofby local companies. The challenge is to geteverything ready for shipment in a veryshort period. We are closely monitoringthe progress on the production side, whileinvestigating the safest and smartestapproach for the transport. It really comesdown to getting a job done in less than acouple of weeks, that would normally takeabout three months”, says Spaas.

SCALE UP IN LOADING CAPACITY

A bottleneck in the tight schedule is thenumber of containers that can be loadedper day. Patrick: “We not only need toensure that all the equipment is inspected,

documented and packed, but also that itwill be assembled correctly afterunpacking, by using stickers and quickreference guides. This requires a team ofabout 20 well-instructed professionals tohandle the loading simultaneously atdifferent locations. We’re now working onclose co-operation with specializedtransport companies.”

LOGISTIC OPTIMIZATION

Transporting the goods from theproduction sites to the harbour of Istanbulwill take place by a combination of truckand ship.

This adds up to a logistic puzzle of time,cost, risk mitigation and capacity. Spaasstates: “This is definitely the mostchallenging project ever, considering alogistic budget that largely exceeds thebudget for any normal project. We are inthe process of investigating, calculating andrecalculation different scenarios, but I’mconfident that we can make this work. Thecoming weeks, it’s showtime!”

Hycontrol’s SHIELD Lite silo protection system now further enhancedHycontrol’s comprehensive SHIELD Litesilo protection system is now furtherenhanced with the addition of a newbutterfly inlet control valve that providesboth users, and the system controls, withopen/closed position feedback.

This status information provides afurther safety check during the SPS’stesting procedure, alerting staff if the inletvalve has become damaged or jammed, orhas been tampered with. This informationis essential for maintaining the safety andintegrity of the silo. Additionally, this newvalve features a visual status display forusers.

An auto shut-off inlet valve is anessential safety item. It should not openuntil all the silo safety tests have beenpassed and should close instantly in theevent of a sudden pressure spike. Theadditional tamper-proofing features of thenew SHIELD Lite inlet valve is a furtherassurance of total silo pressure safety fromHycontrol.

SHIELD LITE SILO PROTECTION SYSTEM

Hycontrol’s new SHIELD Lite siloprotection system is the result of decadesof silo pressure technology development,experience and expertise. It has acompact, all-in-one design that can retrofitto almost any silo. This new model is evensimpler to install and operate, withoutcompromising any of the outstandingfeatures of the previous SHIELD system.

Utilizing purpose-designed, state-of-the-art pressure monitoring and controlequipment, SHIELD Lite meets andexceeds best engineering practice andcurrent guidance from the MineralProducts Association. The new, compactpanel is designed for simple operation andto be easily understood, giving users arange of new monitoring and diagnostictools and indicating when the system issuffering from blocked filtration orendangered by poor delivery driverbehaviour.

Powder storage silos are commonplacein many industries but are at risk of over-pressurization during tanker deliveries. Theroot causes of this are invariably eitherdriver error resulting in uncontrolled airpressure being discharged during the fillingprocedure, or a failure of the filter ventingunit. Pressures from as little as 1 or 2 psiare enough to rupture a silo or blow itsfilter unit off the top. This poses seriousrisks, which is why a comprehensive, failsafesafety and control system is vital.

SHIELD Lite incorporates essentialhigh-accuracy pressure safety componentsinto a modular design that can be adjustedto suit site requirements. Maintenance issimplified, and the long-term cost ofownership is significantly lower than anyother system on the market. Along withmany new features, SHIELD Liteincorporates Hycontrol’s pioneeringGround Level Testing system, in which asingle key-turn enacts a full-function test ofall the crucial safety components,dramatically reducing the need for workingat height. Importantly the system is alsowholly failsafe, a vital but often overlookedfeature. The system can now even informusers if there has been an attempt tooverride the inlet safety valve.

One of the challenges of storing cement inlarge quantities is efficient handling ofthose materials out of the storagestructure. When St Marys Cementevaluated options for its new storageprojects, Laidig Systems, Inc. was able toprovide its with an innovative solution.

St Marys Cement is a manufacturer andsupplier of cement in the Great Lakesregion of the United States and Canada.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, StMarys is also a significant producer ofconcrete and aggregates to variousmarkets in the region. The company is partof the North American operations ofinternational building materials supplier,Votorantim Cimentos, based in Brazil.

There have been several traditionalmethods of reclaiming cement from largecapacity structures. The methods varysignificantly from the complete aeration ofstructure floors, to partial aeration withmanual final clean out (using front endloaders), to large mechanical reclaimsystems. All of these options offeradvantages and disadvantages, whichprimarily involve overall cost, level ofautomation and safety.

Laidig Systems worked with St Marysand other cement companies to develop aunique hybrid solution that best fit theneeds of the industry. After considerableresearch and development, Laidigmanufactured the Fluidized Screw SeriesReclaim System as a cost-effective andautomated solution to unload fluidizablematerials in large-capacity storagestructures. Laidig’s Fluidized Screw seriesoffers superior performance anddependability for a wide range of fluidizablematerials, such as cement, fly ash, talc, andother powders. The Laidig Fluidized Screwsystem is engineered to provide a fully-automated, near-total clean out whilebreaking up the hard pack and avoiding thedead zones.

The Fluidized Screw Reclaim Systemwas developed to satisfy the requirementsof St Marys Cement, and in doing so, wasengineered and manufactured with hybridfeatures that were paramount in theefficient and effective operation of itsparticular system. For St Marys, theFluidized Screw Reclaim System wasdesigned to meet its difficult materialchallenges and did so, along with someother key features: a fully automatedsystem with dependable push buttonoperation, a fully reversible sweep augerfor maximum process flexibility, the abilityto support storage diameters up to 164

feet (50 metres), the integration of anefficient air-gravity conveyor with a ruggedmechanical screw reclaimer, and access toLaidig’s lifetime technical support.

The Fluidized Screw Reclaim Systemthat Laidig developed for St Marysincorporates the best of two proventechnologies to solve its material handlingneeds. The Fluidized Screw ReclaimSystem is a hybrid reclaiming solution thatintegrates a rugged mechanical screwreclaimer with an efficient air-gravityconveyor system to unload and clean outthe dome. This fully automated reclaimsystem provides the efficiency of air-gravityconveyors along with the ruggedness of amechanical screw reclaimer. In thisprocess, air gravity conveyors — whichconsists of an aerated centre hub andradial spokes — reclaim a large percentageof the total stored material. A series of airslides are used to fluidize the floor andclean out a portion of the material in thedome. The air slide system is comprised ofradial air conveyors — designed likespokes on a bicycle wheel — extendingout from the centre. The air slides operatesequentially around the dome — not allworking at once — which reduces the

amount of power to operate them, andreduces uneven loads on the dome andfoundation. This process will reclaimapproximately 80% of the stored material,leaving behind large pie-shaped piles ofmaterial between each air slide.

To ensure final cleanout, the LaidigFS1010 Fluidized Screw Reclaim System isthen engaged to unload the dome, furtherbreak down the material, and clean out theremaining hard packed piles to completethe clean-out process. To assist inactivating the air-gravity zones within thestorage facility, the Laidig System providesan Intelligent Control System thatsequentially activates the air-gravity zonesto coincide with the location of the LaidigFluidized Screw Reclaimer, to aid in thecompletion of the final cleanout.

Safety is also a high priority for St Marysand other companies storing materials insilos and domes, and one of the challengesis to ensure that plant personnel have safeand easy access into the structure.

Laidig was proactive in its approachto help ensure that this wouldn’t be aconcern when storing and transportingfluidizable materials such as cement. Laidighas engineered and developed new

For new construction, a DomeSiloprovides robust strength equal tothe task of mixing and blending,but companies looking to add lifeto existing infrastructure haveoptions too, writes Rebecca LongPyper for Dome Technology.

A monolithic concrete domemakes grain storage and shipmenteasier by storing more andaccommodating mix and blend.Dome Technology builds thesedomes all over the world, and themost popular model is theDomeSilo, a dome that is as tall ortaller than it is wide. Thanks to itsbrute strength, a dome is a moredurable structure than traditionalsteel structures or flat storage andcan also store more than a silowith similar dimensions.

The dome’s tolerance for cyclicthroughput is high because of itsstructural integrity. Filling andemptying will stress any structure,but a dome’s monolithic designaccepts the force without fatigueproblems; stress is not channelledto weak spots like bolts or seamsbecause there aren’t any. A dome doesn’trequire regular maintenance, and theconcrete dome’s lifespan is indefinite.

For processors, shuttle loaders andexporters, blending can be key tooperations. The dome’s strength makesblending and mixing and blending possible.A dome is cost competitive with silos whileproviding the ability to pull from multiplegates, an option limited with steel tanks andone that keeps barge, rail and exportshipments running smoothly.

The typical grain dome features multiplegates within the foundation; to circulate,product is drawn out of these gates, thenconveyed to the top of the dome andreloaded. Terminal managers can alsoselect specific gates to address hot spots,and monitoring systems help identify those.If certain pockets are lower in quality,corresponding gates can be opened tovarious percentages with gates adjacent tohigh-quality product opened as well.

“The dome’s blending capability willcreate a consistent product for thecustomer or end user,” Dome Technologysales manager Heath Harrison said.“Domes allow you to maximize blendingcapability, giving companies the opportunityto maximize profits and efficiencies. The

grain industry operates on tight margins, sosometimes throughput and mix and blendare all we have to increase the bottom line.Domes and DomeSilos will maximize thatbottom line.”

In addition to these benefits, recentconstruction advances are making domesmore resilient than ever. For instance,Dome Technology has pioneered roundexplosion panels that channel pressure outof the structure, preventing structuraldamage in the event of an explosion.

Companies eager to secure no-entryoptions can explore different reclaimsystems that make this possible; DomeTechnology’s in-house engineers workclosely with customers to determinereclaim that delivers necessary throughputand keeps employees safe.

SILO REPAIR AND RECOAT

Tight margins can require companies toconsider ways of gleaning additional lifefrom structures already within the system.Silo recoat and repair is a good option “toextend the lifespan of current assets andreduce the need for additional capital to bespent replacing existing, aging infra -structure,” Harrison said.

Dome Technology recently completed

this type of project forGavilon, repairing andrecoating four concrete silosstoring corn and soybeans inCreston, Iowa, USA, andguaranteeing ten more yearsof exterior life. The silos, builtin 1978, were deteriorating,particularly two that had beenspalling for three years, saidGavilon superintendent BrittBoozer.

Another company workedon interior upgradessimultaneously, and “withextending the liners and doingwhat we did on the outside,[our company] felt like thatwas a more economical way— to repair the bins ratherthan tear them down and buildnew,” Boozer said.

The Gavilon concrete silosrequired light concrete-crackrepair, and the DomeTechnology team began theproject by pressure washingand prepping the structure,then shotcreting and patching

all cracks in exposed areas. Silicone sealantwas applied to the entire building includingthe roof, where a nonslip surface was alsoadded.

“We’re basically encasing the wholestructure with this our coating, so weshouldn’t see the spalling continue anylonger,” Harrison said. “The selling point ismaking silos truly watertight; paint andother restoration processes fail to do thatlong term.”

Cost savings are the biggest benefit tothis kind of silo repair. According toHarrison, silos otherwise destined forteardown might be salvaged and kept inservice for years.

In addition to repairing the silos, DomeTechnology can apply coatings in fade-resistant colours. After exterior concreteis repaired, this coating preserves andextends the concrete’s life. In the case ofGavilon, the charcoal-gray coating thecompany chose gives the silos a fresh look.“It can serve as an aesthetic solution aswell, so it’s a two-for-one,” Harrison said.

Boozer agreed, stating that if peoplewere seeing the silos for the first time,“they would go, ‘These have just been putup three, four, five years ago.’ Aestheticallythey look a lot better.”

Five years ago, the UK’s Peel Ports Groupand energy company Drax entered into apartnership to drive forward Europe’slargest decarbonization project.

Drax Power Station, the largest powerstation in the UK, had begun the process ofconverting its coal-fired boilers to run onsustainable biomass. The company neededa logistics partner to facilitate the importof compressed wood pellets required togenerate the renewable power relied on bymillions of homes and businesses acrossthe UK.

Since its conversation, Drax nowsupplies 11% of the UK’s renewableelectricity, reducing its CO2 emissions by

more than 80%, and helping the UK powersystem decarbonize faster than any othercountry in Europe.

Today, the partnership has resulted inthe creation of a north of England port-station infrastructure that can transportthe sustainable biomass used at the powerstation from the port, in under 12 hours.

With two thirds of Drax Power Stationnow using sustainable biomass to generateelectricity, a reliable, stable supply of thesustainable biomass is crucial tooperations.

To date, more than 5,000 trains havetransported wood pellets to the powerstation in Selby, North Yorkshire. These

efficiencies have been driven by a carefullyredesigned technical infrastructure andautomated port processes designed by PeelPorts’ engineers to the specificationsrequired by Drax.

THE CHALLENGE — SHIFTING BIOMASS IN

BULK

The handling of low-carbon, renewableenergy resources, such as sustainablebiomass, differs from traditionally usedenergy sources such as coal.

Compressed wood pellets havefundamentally different physical propertiesfrom other fuels and must be kept enclosedfrom the elements at all times.

After arriving at the Port of Liverpoolon giant vessels, the wood pellets need tobe carefully unloaded, stored, andtransported across the Pennines to thepower station via rail links.

THE SOLUTION — A £100 MILLION

BIOMASS IMPORT TERMINAL

The answer was to create a £100 millioncustom-built multi-million-tonne-capacityfacility at Gladstone Dock at the Port ofLiverpool.

The terminal is built to handle very highvolumes of cargoes with the equipmentuniquely specified for biomass and itshandling characteristics.

To unload the pellets, Peel Portspurchased two Siwertell continuous ship-unloaders specially modified for the quickand safe discharge of wood pellets.

At the top of the screw, the pellets areemptied onto a conveyor belt and carriedto one of three purpose-built silos designedto ensure the safe storage of over 100,000tonnes of sustainable biomass. The facilityis built with a very high specification ofsafety and monitoring equipment.

The pellets remain in the silos until atrain loading facility transfers them ontospecially designed biomass trains wherethey are transported across the peaks ofthe Pennines to Drax Power Station.

The efficiency of the facility andtransportation can be attributed to a close-knit team of operators and engineers whohave specialist training for the cargo andthe equipment in the terminal, including anextensive understanding of thecomplexities of loading sustainable biomassonto trains.

THE RESULT

Simon Watson, Business Unit Manager atPeel Ports, said: “The facility is not only aninvestment into creating a more robust andreliable supply chain for Drax, it is also aninvestment into the country’s energyfuture. It has helped transform the logisticsinfrastructure and the economic growth ofthe North West, and the facility itselfdirectly employs 50 people.

“We made this investment because werecognized this as the future of the energymix of the country. We can’t just rely onone form of power — there has to be anenergy mix and we see sustainable biomassas a key part of that.”

Mark Gibbens, Head of Logistics atDrax, said: “Peel Ports are a critical part ofour global supply chain for sustainablebiomass that supports thousands of jobsacross the north of England and enablesDrax to supply the renewable electricity

that millions of UK homes and businessesrely on.

“Sustainable biomass has already helpedthe UK’s power sector decarbonize fasterthan any other country in Europe and hasan important role to play continuing toprovide flexible and reliable renewablepower helping the UK meet its target toreach net zero by 2050.”

ABOUT PEEL PORTS GROUP

Conveyor belts carrying biomass have tooperate in highly explosive, combustibleenvironments. They therefore need to becompletely anti-static and self-extinguish asquickly as possible if ignited. They must alsobe highly resistant to the potentiallydamaging oils and resins that biomasscontains. As if that is not enough, they areunder constant attack by ground levelozone pollution and ultraviolet radiation.They need to be reliable and provide anoperational life that is as long as possible inorder to be economic and above all else,they must be as safe as possible in everyrespect.

Netherlands-based Dunlop ConveyorBelting has been one of the mostprominent and well-respected manufac -turers of high-performance conveyorbelting in the world for over 50 years. Whobetter to ask, therefore, for some expertadvice and guidance? As part of thismonth’s focus on handling biomass, Rob vanOijen, Dunlop’s manager of applicationengineering provides an easy-to-followguide to selecting belts for conveyingbiomass.

FIVE-POINT CHECKLIST

Biomass can consist of a combination ofseveral different resources. Apart fromwood and wood waste (of which there areseveral types), biomass can includeagricultural crops and their waste by-products, municipal solid waste, animalwastes, waste from food processing andeven aquatic plants and algae. Within thismultitude of different organisms are avariety of elements that can have a verydetrimental effect on rubber andconsequently a major influence on theoperational lifetime of a conveyor belt.Most importantly of all, they can also createsignificant safety issues. There are fiveessential characteristics to consider whenselecting conveyor belts to convey biomassand the first two both involve safety.

1. RISK OF EXPLOSION (ANTI-STATIC PROPERTIES)One of the biggest issues concerning beltsthat carry biomass is dust emission and theprevention of biomass dust explosion. Inthe production process of biomass woodpellets, wood chip and similar renewableresources, the materials are continuallybroken down. This results in high levels ofcombustible dust. The dry flammable dustfound in biomass can be ignited by staticelectricity created by abrasion within theconveyor system because the source onlyrequires ignition energy as low as 17mJ for

the ultimate ignition to take place. Biomassdust can also be highly prone to self-ignition, especially if the material hasbecome damp. A chemical reaction cantake place that causes self-heating and whatis referred to as ‘off-gassing’ (carbondioxide, carbon monoxide and methaneemissions).

There should be no more than 35 gramsof dust in a cubic metre of air (lowerexplosive limit) in the atmosphereimmediately surrounding a biomassconveyor. Strict conformity to Directive94/9/EC (applicable to potentially explosiveatmospheres of zones 20, 21 and 22 wherecombustible dust is present) shouldtherefore be a pre-requisite. It is absolutelyessential that the electrostaticdischargeability (anti-static) properties ofthe conveyor belt cover rubber (accordingto DIN EN ISO 284 test methods) do notexceed the maximum resistance value of300MΩ. It is important to bear in mind

that it is not possible to obtain an ATEXcertificate for a conveyor belt itself becausebelts are classified as a component and notas a system. ATEX certification only appliesto the whole conveyor system. CHECK POINT: When sourcing conveyor beltsfor use in ATEX regulated areas it is veryimportant to ask the supplier for a copy of acertificate provided by an appropriateindependent testing authority such as theGerman Institute Dekra Exam GmBH.

2. FIRE SAFETY. CHOOSING THE CORRECT

STANDARD OF FIRE RESISTANCE

The basis of most tests for belting used innormal industrial applications isEN/ISO 340. This standard makes thedistinction between fire resistance withcovers (K) and fire resistance with orwithout covers (S). The relevance of ‘withor without covers’ is that wear reduces theamount of fire-resistant rubber thatprotects the flammable carcass.

EN/ISO 340 tests involve exposing sixindividual samples of belt to a naked flamecausing them to burn. The source of theflame is then removed. A current of air isthen applied to the test piece for a specifiedtime after the removal of the flame. Thetime it takes for the belt sample to self-extinguish after the flame has beenremoved is then measured. The duration ofcontinued burning (visible flame) should beless than 15 seconds for each sample witha maximum cumulative duration of 45seconds for each group of six test samples.This determines how far a moving belt cancarry a fire.

Establishing the correct level orstandard of fire resistance needed forconveyors operating in the open air isrelatively straightforward. EN 12882 is thestandard for safety requirements forconveyor belts for general-purpose use.The most basic safety requirement is EN12882 Category 1, which simply demands

that the belt is anti-static and conforms toEN/ISO 284 international standards.

For the majority of biomass handlingapplications, EN 12882 Class 2A (K grade)or Class 2B (S grade) levels of fireresistance would be perfectly adequate.Class 2A demands that the belt is able topass the ISO 340 test with the covers intacton the belt samples whereas Class 2Brequires that the belt is also able to pass thetest with the top and bottom cover rubberremoved. Both Class 2A and 2B must fulfillthe anti-static requirements of ISO 284.

Because of the increased risk of self-ignition when biomass becomes damp, theuse of covered conveyors is becomingincreasingly commonplace. The risk tohuman life is heightened in enclosedenvironments because burning rubber andother synthetic materials such as polyesterand nylon release a dark, thick smoke thatcontains cyanide, carbon monoxide, sulphurdioxide, and products of butadiene andstyrene.

For this reason, EN 12882 Class 4A isusually the best choice for conveyorsoperating in closed or covered conditionsbecause it involves a more severe fire testaccording to EN12881-1 method A, C or Din addition to EN/ISO 340 testing. CHECK POINT: Even if a manufacturer statesthat its fire-resistant belt meets the requestedEN 12882 level of fire resistance, it is advisableto insist on certification and, if available, detailsof the typical self-extinguishing timingsachieved during ISO 340 testing. A conveyor

belt can easily spread a fire more than 40metres within 15 seconds.

3. RESISTANCE TO OILS AND RESINS

Biomass, especially the wood and woodwaste content, can contain vegetable oilsand resins that have a very detrimentaleffect on the performance and lifeexpectancy of a conveyor belt. When theoils and resins penetrate rubber it causes itto swell and distort, resulting in serioustracking and steering problems as well aspremature wear. Over time, belts that havea poor level of resistance to oil can literallyfold themselves into a pipe shape.

The oils, resins, fats and greases thathave these damaging effects can be dividedinto two distinct sources — mineral andvegetable/animal. The level of oil and resinpresent depends very much on the type(origin) of the wood used to create thebiomass. For most wood from Scandinaviafor example, good resistance to oil isessential as these trees are mostly pinetrees, which have high turpentine content.In South-European countries and in LatinAmerica, eucalyptus trees are commonlyused. The wood from these trees containslittle or no turpentine so oil resistance isnot so essential. This is generally valid fornon-pine wood such as poplar and birch. Ifthe origin of the wood used for thebiomass can be from variable sources thenI would recommend the use of conveyorbelts that have a combined resistance tofire and oil.

Class 4A entails EN12881-1 method A, C or

D in addition to EN/ISO 340 testing.

Oil can cause serious distortion.

Oil resistance — test methodsThere are two recognized test methods, both of which involvealmost identical test procedures. These are ISO 1817 and thecomparable, slightly less elaborate but very stringent AmericanASTM ‘D’ 1460. Rather surprisingly, ISO or DIN internationalperformance standards for oil & grease resistance do not yet exist.Manufacturers are therefore at liberty to use whichever testconditions they deem most suitable to them. However, there is asting in the tail concerning the matter of test methods.

DIN 22102 G. Not what it seems.Some of the biggest manufacturers of belting in the world, primarilythose in Asia, and even some in Europe, use the DIN referencenumber 22102 G when referring to oil-resistant belting. This can bevery misleading because the letter ‘G’ is simply used to denote oil-(or grease-) resistant belting. In reality, there are no firmrequirements, test methods or limits specific to oil-resistant beltingassociated with DIN 22102 G. This is a classic example of howsimply showing a test method reference number is designed tocreate a false sense of security but is essentially meaningless inrespect to actual performance.CHECK POINT: Always insist on belts that have been tested according toeither ISO 1817 or ASTM ‘D’ 1460 and review actual test conditions ona like for like basis.

4. OZONE & UV RESISTANCE

The fourth essential criteria for selecting a conveyor belt to carrybiomass is the ability to resist the damaging effects of ground-levelozone and UV rays. Ozone (O3) occurs naturally in the upperatmosphere, where it is formed continuously by the action of solarultraviolet radiation on molecular oxygen (O2). At high altitude,ozone acts as a protective shield by absorbing harmful ultravioletrays. Wind currents carry O3 to the atmosphere at the Earth’ssurface. At low altitude, ozone becomes a pollutant. Ground level(or ‘bad’ ozone) is not emitted directly into the air but is createdby the photolysis of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from automobile

exhaust and industrial discharges. Theeffects are known as ozonolysis.

Even tiny traces of ozone in the air willattack the molecular structure in rubber. Italso increases the acidity of carbon blacksurfaces with natural rubber, polybutadiene,styrene-butadiene rubber and nitrilerubber being the most sensitive todegradation. This can have severalconsequences such as surface cracking anda marked decrease in the tensile strength ofthe rubber.

Belts that operate in coastal areas areespecially prone to surface cracking. Thiscan be extremely detrimental in terms ofthe performance of the belt and its workinglife. Even more significant are theenvironmental and health and safetyconsequences. This is especially so whencarrying biomass because the dust particlespenetrate the surface cracks and are thendischarged (shaken out) on the return(underside) run of the belt.

At first glance, fine cracks in the surfacerubber may not seem to be a majorproblem but over a period of time therubber becomes increasingly brittle.Transversal cracks deepen under therepeated stress of passing over the pulleysand drums and, if the conveyor has arelatively short transition distance,longitudinal cracks can also begin to appear.There are also hidden long-term effectssuch as moisture (including oils and resins)which seeps into the cracks and penetratethrough the belt covers down to the

carcass of the belt, causing it to distort. To make matters worse, ‘bad’ ozone has

a partner in crime that also seriouslydamages rubber. The decline in the ozonelayer in the upper atmosphere over thepast several decades is allowing anincreasing level of UV radiation to reachthe earth’s surface. Ultraviolet light fromsunlight and fluorescent lighting causeschemical reactions to take place withinrubber that accelerate deteriorationbecause it produces photochemicalreactions that promote the oxidation ofthe surface of the rubber resulting in a lossin mechanical strength.CHECK POINT: Ozone & UV resistance shouldbe an essential requirement when selecting anyrubber conveyor belt. Make sure that the beltyou choose has been successfully testedaccording to ISO 1431.

5. WEAR RESISTANCE

Conveyor belts are a very significantinvestment so apart from the essentialfeatures I have already detailed, I woulddefinitely include wear resistance as part ofthe selection criteria because it does have avery significant influence on the ‘whole lifecost’ of any conveyor belt. This is especiallyso when it comes to belts that conveybiomass because the ingredients used tocreate a fire-resistant (self-extinguishing)and oil-resistant rubber compound almostinvariably have an adverse effect on thewear-resistance of the rubber. In plainspeak, fire-resistant and oil-resistant rubber

usually wears significantly faster thanstraightforward abrasion-resistant belting.

Although very few and far between, oneor two European manufacturers haveproved that it is possible to have the best ofboth worlds by designing fire- and oil-resistant rubber compounds that also haveextremely good resistance to abrasion.Sadly, however, this is very much anexception to the rule. CHECK POINT: Always request technicaldatasheets before placing an order and inparticular look at the level of abrasionresistance shown. To provide an adequate wearlife on conveyors carrying biomass I wouldexpect an absolute maximum abrasion figureof 200 mm³. It is important to remember thatfor abrasion, the lower the figure the betterbecause lower figures represent a higherresistance to wear.

Around the globe, anincreasing share of total energyproduction is generated bybiomass powerplants. Biomasshas rapidly become animportant substitute for othermore traditional sources ofenergy generation such as coaland has become a key part inthe energy transition journey.

The largest source ofbiomass energy is wood andresidues from wood. Whetherit’s woodchips, pellets or alsoother types of biomass thenduring handling, shreddingand/or upgrading aconsiderable amount of dust isgenerated. Extended orrepeated exposure to finebiomass dust has a negativehealth effect as biomass dust isa carcinogen, i.e. a substancethat promotes carcinogenesisor the formation of cancer.

Furthermore, it is a fact that frombiomass handling points — such as powerplants or recycling facilities — dust travelsfor miles and spreads out over thesurrounding areas and communities. Apartfrom the health issues that this causes,there is also a considerable loss of product.

Over the years, dust-control specialistWuvio has, in close co-operation with anumber of important players, developed arange of solutions dealing with biomassdust.

FOAMING

In general, the basis for Wuvio’s solutions tocombat dust in biomass environments isfoaming.

This is a solution used for inlinetreatment, with increased active duration ofup to 30 days if need be. Applied withcompressed air, a Wuvio’s dry foam iscreated with minimal usage of water andconsequently low moisture levels, so thatthe (calorific) value of biomass is notimpacted. Ideally Wuvio’s dry foam isapplied by using a spray bar with nozzles

that spray it into the drop points of theconveyor belt system or shredder.

Furthermore, Wuvio’s foam solution hasa number of advantages over the sprayingof water, as the product:v can be applied using existing/standard

nozzles and sprinklers;v reduces water consumption by 80%;v reduces dust emissions by 90%;v is 100% biodegradable and harmless to

the aquatic environment; andv is 100% safe for people and the

environment.

EQUIPMENT

Wuvio’s focus is to provide afully integrated solution, which isbuilt to be rugged enough towithstand harsh environments.The key is to have the equipmentwork for you, so typicallyWuvio’s spraying solutions areintegrated with systemautomation to work inconjunction with the productionline.

Wuvio offers a variety ofspraying equipment:v spraying cannons which can

be used for spraying stock- piles — various tank sizes;

v automated foam dosingunits, spray bars & atomizingsystems; and

v a full range of automatedmixing solutions includingbuffer tanks and silos.

HIGH POTENTIAL SOURCE OF RENEWABLE

More and more, the circular economy isreplacing the conventional economy wherethe concept of produce, use and waste isno longer sustainable, writes Roberto Binago– CTP Team Business Development.Circularity means a link between waste and

production of goods and/or energy withminimum impact on the environment.

The use of biomass as alternative fuel toproduce energy is gradually replacing fossilfuels. Although most of these have a lowerenergy content, which means more fuel toget the same amount of heat, the use ofbiomass is frequently applied in the

production of clean energy by means ofheat recovery boilers and turbogenerators.

This model has a double benefit which isnot only the waste-to-energy concept, butalso the drastic reduction of virgin rawmaterial and accumulation of waste inlandfills. This environmental sustainability is

Biomass is renewable organic material thatcomes from plants and animals. Biomasswas the largest source of total annual USenergy consumption until the mid-1800s.Biomass continues to be an important fuelin many countries, especially for cookingand heating in developing countries . Theuse of biomass fuels for transportation andfor electricity generation is increasing inmany developed countries as a means ofavoiding carbon dioxide emissions fromfossil fuel use. In 2019, biomass providednearly 5 quadrillion British thermal units(Btu) and about 5% of total primary energyuse in the United States.

Biomass contains stored chemicalenergy from the sun. Plants producebiomass through photosynthesis. Biomasscan be burned directly for heat orconverted to renewable liquid and gaseousfuels through various processes.

Biomass sources for energy includev wood and wood processing wastes —

firewood, wood pellets, and wood chips,lumber and furniture mill sawdust andwaste, and black liquor from pulp andpaper mills;

v agricultural crops and waste materials—corn, soybeans, sugar cane,switchgrass, woody plants, and algae, andcrop and food processing residues;

v biogenic materials in municipal solidwaste — paper, cotton, and woolproducts, and food, yard, and woodwastes; and

v animal manure and human sewage.

CONVERTING BIOMASS TO ENERGY

Biomass is converted to energy through

various processes, including:v direct combustion (burning) to produce

heat;v thermochemical conversion to produce

solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels;v chemical conversion to produce liquid

fuels; andv biological conversion to produce liquid

and gaseous fuels.

Direct combustion is the most commonmethod for converting biomass to usefulenergy. All biomass can be burned directlyfor heating buildings and water, forindustrial process heat, and for generatingelectricity in steam turbines.

Inside the process of burning ofbiomass, is very important each part ofprocess, since raw materials solid waste,paper, cotton, wood wastes, and others,select correctly the transportsystem, storages, and burningsystems.

Some industries have used thewastes of raw materials to produceenergy by biomass burning; forexample, the paper industry useswood wastes in this process.Specifically, CI Global Traders hasworked on some projects about this,and has designed systems to burnthe biomass from wood wastes.

Together with its factoriespartner, CI Global Traders hasdesigned conveyor belts withparticlar width specifications for thiskind of biomass. The rubber beltshave to be a special compositerubber, because the wood wastes

have grass and natural oils. It is alsostrongly recommended that HDPE rollersare used for the conveyor belt, as well asother specifications regarding the design.

These days, it is very important toensure that there are options available inplace of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. Theenvironment is significantly affected byclimate change, and biomass is an excellentoption for companies, as it reduces the costof energy generation and is also kind to theenvironment.

CI Global Traders has lots of solutionsfor the transport of materials in differentindustries. Its systems are suitable for thedifferent needs of individual companies andsituations, as systems used in traditionalindustry — including rubber belts andlighter belts — may not be suitable for thetransport of biomass.
