Optimizing the performance and control of thermal dryer at B.O.C. plant
- Bullmoose Operating Corp., Tumbler Ridge (Canada)
The Bullmoose Operating Corporation is a metallurgical coal mine with an annual output of 2,000,000 metric tons of high quality, medium volatile, bituminous coal. The mine is located in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. All of the coal produced is being hauled via rail to the Pacific coast port terminal in Prince Ruppert and shipped to the Japanese steel mills. The coal plant initially consisted of three circuits - the heavy media cyclones, the water only cyclones and the conventional froth flotation. With changing load on the fine coal circuit, several modifications have been done in a past to optimize the processing of -28 Mesh coal. Currently, the plant is introducing a new {open_quotes}coarse fines{close_quotes} circuit that will eventually process the 32 to 12 Mesh size fraction on the spirals. Following Chart No. 1 is a simplified flowsheet of B.O.C. coal processing and shipping operations.
