Abresist Corporation, a Kalenborn Company, introduces two new KERAFLEX wear protection systems, consisting of ALRESIST® high alumina ceramics or KALMETALL®W hard overlay welding plates vulcanized to a steel base. These systems are well suited where high abrasion and impact occur in combination. Maximum operating temperature is 176º F/80º C.
KERAFLEX reduces noise and is especially well suited for use in transfer chutes in belt conveyor systems and impact zones in bunkers and silos. These wear protection systems are produced in standard panels, up to 20” square, with welded studs or countersunk bolting attachments. KERAFLEX-KRM consists of ALRESIST high alumina ceramics with a tile thickness of ½” or 1”. The thickness of the rubber is determined by the severity of the impact. KERAFLEX-WRM consists of KALMETALL-W hard overlay welded plates, rubber and steel. KERAFLEX-KR, with 1/8”- to 1/2”-thick ALRESIST tile and a rubber backing only, provides for a flexible lining that is glued in place.
The Ultimate 3D Flow Measurement System
The 3D Probe Data Acquisition System (3DDAS™) sets a new standard for volumetric flow measurement systems for use in stack/RATA testing, fan outlet ducts, mill inlet ducts, and general ductwork. It is fully compliant with EPA Methods 2, 2F, 2G, and 2H and weighs just 22 pounds.
The 3DDAS boasts the ability to secure the most accurate measurements possible. Gone are the days of “sight weighted averages.” The 3DDAS takes 1,000 readings per second and calculates averages instantly. This is achieved with 3DPROBE™, state-of-the-art software that simplifies and expedites the testing process. It automatically generates test configuration information, records data, completes error checks, and outputs reports detailing velocities, pressures, temperatures, and flow rates.
Designed and built by Michigan-based
Airflow Sciences Corporation, the 3DDAS also features a rugged industrial NEMA 4/12-rated computer, 16-channel and 16-bit data acquisition board, touch screen navigation, and wireless remote transmitter interface.
Utilizing Hot-Dip Galvanizing In Alternative Energy Projects
The
American Galvanizers Association is pleased to announce the release of Sustainable Solutions for Corrosion Protection in Alternative Energy, an informative publication (available at www.galvanizeit.org/publications) detailing research regarding the strength and sustainability of hot-dip galvanized steel in the alternative energy market.
Sustainable Solutions explores how utilizing hot-dip galvanized steel in biofuel, wind, hydroelectric, and solar structures not only protects them from the effects of corrosion but also is highly sustainable and earth-friendly. Highlighting the inevitability of corrosion, this publication stresses the importance of making intelligent environmental and economic decisions, supported by real-life case studies from each sector of the alternative energy market. It also explains how the natural, recyclable zinc coating created in the galvanizing process will provide superior corrosion protection without requiring the costly carbon footprint of maintenance.
Increased Emissions Reductions
APTECH CST has developed a new very affordable technology (patents granted and pending) that will achieve better than 70% reductions in SO2 and NOx. If needed, reductions of more than 90% can be achieved with companion technologies such as low-NOx burners for NOx and small polishing scrubber for SO2. Reductions approaching 100% can be achieved for SO3 and chlorides. A significant reduction in mercury is expected and should exceed 90% using a bag house. Slag formation in the upper furnace and convective pass can be eliminated or dramatically reduced.
The capital and operating costs for the combined technologies are less than 8% of the cost of a scrubber and SCR, making them especially attractive because no large external structures required. Parasitic power is less than 0.5%.
Multi-Barrier Seal for Troughing Belts
Arch Environmental Equipment Inc. announced in January the release of the Talon® Seal, a skirt seal that utilizes the “more is better” theory. Manufactured with wear-resistant EPDM rubber, the Talon Seal minimizes belt friction using a multi-barrier seal design to guard against fugitive dust and spillage. The unique design includes a flexible heel and toe that auto-adjusts to belt sag and troughing angles maintaining a consistent, spill-proof seal. Resistant to ozone, weather and UV factors, the highly durable Talon Seal withstands temperatures up to 250° and is available in continuous lengths up to 600 feet.
Consistent with Arch’s goal of providing products that are simple to install, use, and maintain, this seal is easily installed using existing clamps and automatically conforms to the dynamics of any toughing conveyor belt without maintenance. Arch Environmental Equipment is a manufacturer and distributor of a wide range of mechanical and electrical products designed to improve the efficiency and safety of conveyor belt systems.

Online Ash Analyzer
Berthold Technologies, well-known as a manufacturer of non-contact, non-intrusive measurement systems, has launched the newest generation of its ash analyzer - the LB 421 AshAlyzer, which measures the process online and in real time. Due to the real-time availability of ash content and calorific value, loading, unloading, production and preparation processes can be optimized. The supply of consistent coal quality is therefore guaranteed, which leads to significantly increased efficiency.
The modular concept of the AshAlyzer allows an easy application to the individual needs of customers’ measurement requirements. In addition to the analysis of ash content and flow rate using the tried and tested gamma transmission method, the energy and moisture content of coal can be determined by integrating an additional microwave measurement system. Features such as high detection sensitivity and stability ensure high reliability and accurate measurement results. The AshAlyzer has the industry standard IP65 with an easy-to-use touch screen operator interface, making it ideal for use in the coal industry.

Wood-Handling Expertise
For the past 20 years the
BRUKS Rockwood team has been developing and supplying materials handling solutions for customers who process and burn wood residue. The demand was initially centered on pulp and paper producers who had the desire to efficiently turn process waste into fuel. As the energy market has evolved this desire has expanded from the pulp mills into a variety of different arenas.
Today, demand for such solutions ranges from gas-fired boiler operators to producers of wood-derived fuels such as pellets. Most of these systems can be broken into three distinct segments: materials handling, production, and delivery. The BRUKS group focuses on the materials handling segment or the front end. In this area the materials are received, cleaned, sized, stored, and then delivered to the production island. A recent example of such a project is Green Circle Bio Energy located in Cottondale, Florida.
