At one of its largest biosolids recycling plants, a leading company in the biomass industry has specified a trio of Kalenborn abrasion-resistant solutions to extend the life of critical ducting.
One of the largest global producers of building materials relies on Kalenborn solutions at a California cement plant to solve problems of premature wear and clogging on a pneumatic conveyance line for alternative fuel.
Great River Energy’s Coal Creek Station in Underwood, N.D., is fueled 100 percent by lignite coal. Because the pyrites and ash from the lignite are abrasive to the power plant’s pipe lines, Coal Creek had problems with leaking in its pulverizer reject lines. Plant personnel searched for a way to mitigate the effects of this leaking and extend the pipes’ life. They found that wear resistant basalt- and ceramic-lined piping extended the reject piping’s life and reduced maintenance requirements.
ABRESIST® basalt lined steel pipe used to convey abrasive bottom ash at American Electric Power's Gavin Plant consists of 12 lines of 10" and 12" ID ABRESIST pipe. Older ABRESIST wear resistant pipe, still serviceable after almost 20 years of use, was interspersed with the new ABRESIST pipe.
Potassium salts are recovered in mining and are a major component of many fertilizers. For refining, the salts are separated from other solids in several stages. This complex process is possible only in robust plants with excellent wear protection. It is exactly in this field that Kalenborn Abresist has been proving itself for over 20 years with pipe lining from ABRESIST.
