When a power plant switches fuel, starts blending fuels, or changes transportation modes, big changes are needed in coal handling and receiving equipment. The article discusses how US plants have modified belt conveyor design to cope with switches to different density Powder River Basin coals and adapted unloading and loading capacities of traces or barges to supply coal. Conveyor modifications included increased capacity demands and higher drive horsepower. 1 photo.
