Coal Blending

Coal blending allows utilities to save on generation costs


by combining low grade coal with a higher grade coal in
order to arrive at a certain BTU and sulfur content. Many
new plants are being built with the capabilities of blending coal and older plants are being converted to adapt
the ability to do so.

Rotary Plow Feeder Benefits:

Over the years utilities have adopted several different


methods for blending coal depending on their needs
and availability of coal. The method selected depends
upon the site conditions, the level of blending required,
the quantity to be stored and blended, the accuracy
required, and the end use of the blended coal.

Blending can take place at the coal mine, the power


plant, preparation plant, or trans-shipment point. For
larger power plants the blending normally takes place
right at the plant. Utilities can utilize rotary plow feeders, vibratory feeders, and belt feeders for the blending
process.
