In order to avoid overheating of dry sewage sludge, the material must be regularly shifted. For this purpose, a pressure conveying vessel provided with two outlet flaps has been installed underneath each storage silo. Thus, the same pressure conveying vessels can be additionally used to feed the storage silos by means of an existing dilute phase conveying line.
Moistening of dry sewage sludge dust to allow open loading constitutes another speciality of STAG. The dry sewage sludge dust generated in the fabric filter is conveyed into a storage silo by means of pressure conveying vessel conveyance. Various components such as the silo discharge system (SILEX) and the silo cone fluidisation serve for supporting the discharge of bulk material up to the screw humidifier.
This is one of the many projects in the area of pneumatic bulk material conveying and storing implemented by STAG on behalf of the plant operator “SIAAP” in the Paris region over the past years.

The one-sided sealing turn slide valve has been especially designed for pneumatic conveying as part of the STAG pressure conveying vessel technology. No other system can satisfy the high demands of this application.
In 2013, a modern coal block has been put into operation in Karlsruhe. For this project, STAG was entrusted with the engineering and delivery of the mechanical and pneumatic ash removal of the electric filter.
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
