A material handling system in a boiler plays a crucial role in the efficient and safe operation of the boiler. It involves the movement, storage, control, and protection of materials throughout various stages of the boiler operation. The materials in a boiler system can include fuel, ash, water, chemicals, and other components necessary for the combustion process and overall functionality. Here are some key aspects of material handling in a boiler system:
Depending on the type of fuel (coal, biomass, oil, gas), there is a need for proper storage facilities. For solid fuels like coal, storage in bunkers or silos is common.
Conveyors or other material handling equipment are used to transport fuel from the storage area to the boiler.
Ash handling systems transport the collected ash to disposal or storage areas. Pneumatic conveying, belt conveyors, or screw conveyors are commonly used.
