At the site of Brandenburg, STAG has been entrusted by Rheinbraun Brennstoff GmbH to build a terminal serving for the transhipment of pulverised lignite from rail to road. STAG was responsible for the engineering, construction, assembly and successful commissioning of the overall plant. In March 2011, the project was completed and delivered to the customer.
Due to our long experience in the handling of dust-explosive bulk products as well as to the innovative approach in the area of logistics, STAG was awarded the very coveted overall contract.
The pulverised lignite is supplied by means of block trains composed of 20 wagons each, and pneumatically unloaded into two storage silos presenting each a storage capacity 1,300 m3. The silo vehicles are fed from the storage silos and then, transport the pulverised lignite to the final customer. The overall plant is inspected on an an-nual basis by a STAG service manager who also records its present condition. This approach is part of the STAG Life Cycle philosophy.
