Due to its wide experience in the area of ash removal from lignite-fired power plants and to notable reference plants, STAG managed to successfully implement a project in Kosovo on behalf of Hamon Environmental GmbH.
The overall lignite-fired power plant is composed of three power plant blocks. Each unit is provided with a three-part electric filter system (filter 1/2/3) presenting a total of 24 filter hoppers. The ash is evacuated from the hoppers into an intermediate silo by means of fluid air slides and the special butterfly valve including dilute phase conveying.
The ash transport from the intermediate silo to the loading silo provided by the customer takes place by means of pressure conveying vessel tandem conveying and a DENSEFLOW conveying line system.
The project was completed to the full satisfaction of all involved parties.

Fluid channels are used in silos or bunkers where poor flowing products are stored. A fluid channel is installed slightly inclined, and the extensive aeration ensures an easy discharge of even poor flowing products.
The general contractor Rafako from Poland supplied for the first time a complete boiler and electric filter system for the waste-to-energy power plant in Stettin and therefore, opted for the expertise of STAG.
Each year STAG handles around 500 customer orders and achieves satisfied customers around the world. Here too, the focus lies on life-cycle-oriented warehousing as well as the plant availability. The experienced employees of the business area service are happy to answer any questions or suggestio
