Bulk material handling specialist Saxlund International will be showcasing a range of turnkey engineering solutions and plant capabilities covering the storage, conveying and pumping of dewatered sewage sludge at IFAT 2018 in Munich, Germany.
A leader in the international bulk solids handling and biomass combustion sectors, as well as sewage sludge handling, the company brings leading design, engineering and system integration strengths to a range of demanding industry sectors providing reliable, continuously available low maintenance solutions.
The team will highlight a number of current and recent projects in both Germany and the UK. These include sewage sludge silo and sludge cake pumping solutions for a range of incineration projects across Europe and beyond, and over thirteen active biomass fuel handling and storage contracts at bioenergy projects in the UK and Scandinavia.
This covers multiple state-of-the-art waste to energy, biomass combustion and gasification projects with dominant industry partners including Bouygues Energies & Services, Galliford Try, M+W Group, Heat Recovery Solutions, fuel reception, storage and conveying for the Go Green Fuels BioSNG project in Swindon and most recently a new feedstock bioenergy contract with Netherlands-based Stork Thermeq for a 15MWe facility.
Turnkey engineering solutions are designed and implemented to ensure long term plant durability, uninterrupted operation and minimal operator intervention to clear blockages and material flow and incorporate a range of Saxlund patented solutions developed with over 60 years’ experience.
These include Saxlund Sliding Frame and Push-Floor technologies, plus Hydraulic Rotor and Tubefeeder solutions for effective silo discharge, ensuring a consistent metred flow of material to meet downstream processes. In addition Trailer Docking Stations, Bucket Elevators, Screws, enclosed Chain Conveyors and a scalable Solids Pumping technology.
With all Saxlund solutions a key design focus is on activated silo discharge and conveying equipment with ‘first in, first out’ design principles to minimise compaction and material conglomeration.
According to Saxlund International UK Managing Director Matt Drew: “A 60 year history in delivering successful bulk material handling solutions combined with leading Push Floor, Sliding Frame and TubeFeeder technologies plus full plant design and engineering capabilities are key reasons clients chose and specify Saxlund solutions again and again. Early design engagement, a clear understanding of material characteristics and the application of appropriate technology remain crucial in delivering resilient trouble free solutions.”
