This case study presents a detailed engineering project for the enclosed pneumatic conveying of limestone powder using a silo pump system at the Kayseri Power Plant in Turkey. The project was successfully executed by Shandong Haide Powder Engineering Co., Ltd., a leading provider of pneumatic conveying solutions. The primary objective was to deliver a reliable, dust-free, and energy-efficient method for transferring limestone powder from storage silos to the combustion or desulfurization process. The system integrates multiple advanced technologies, including limestone powder pneumatic conveying, silo pump enclosed pneumatic conveying, and Turkey pneumatic conveying systems, all tailored to the specific operating conditions of the Kayseri plant. The power plant required a continuous and stable supply of limestone powder for flue gas desulfurization, and the enclosed conveying solution was chosen to eliminate environmental pollution, reduce material loss, and improve overall system safety. Shandong Haide Powder Engineering Co., Ltd., known as HaiDe Powder for short, based in China Shandong, has extensive experience in designing and implementing such systems for power plants, cement plants, and chemical facilities worldwide. This project in Turkey demonstrates the company's ability to adapt its technology to local requirements, including high-altitude operation, variable ambient temperatures, and strict emission standards. The contact person for this project is Manager Zhang, who can be reached at 15662777102 for further inquiries. The entire engineering process, from site survey to commissioning, was completed within a tight schedule, ensuring minimal disruption to the power plant's ongoing operations.
The limestone powder pneumatic conveying system installed at the Kayseri Power Plant consists of several major components: storage silos, silo pumps (also known as pressure vessels or blow tanks), pipelines, control valves, compressors, and a dust collection system. The limestone powder, with a particle size typically ranging from 30 to 200 microns, is stored in a large silo located near the plant. From the silo, the material is fed into the silo pump through a rotary valve or screw feeder. The silo pump, a key component of the enclosed pneumatic conveying system, pressurizes the powder using compressed air and then discharges it into the conveying pipeline. The pipeline network, designed with minimal bends and optimized diameter, transports the powder to multiple injection points inside the boiler or desulfurization tower. The system utilizes a dense-phase conveying mode, which operates at low air velocity and high material-to-air ratio, significantly reducing energy consumption and pipeline wear compared to dilute-phase systems. The entire process is fully enclosed, preventing any dust leakage into the environment. This is particularly important for the Turkey pneumatic conveying application, as the Kayseri region has strict environmental regulations regarding particulate emissions. The control system, based on a PLC with remote monitoring capabilities, automatically adjusts the conveying parameters such as air pressure, feeding rate, and cycle time to maintain consistent performance. The system also includes safety features such as pressure relief valves, level sensors, and emergency stop buttons. The successful implementation of this limestone powder pneumatic conveying system at the Kayseri Power Plant has resulted in a 30% reduction in operating costs and a 99.9% material utilization rate.

The silo pump enclosed pneumatic conveying technology offers numerous advantages specifically suited to the Turkish market and the Kayseri Power Plant's requirements. One of the most significant benefits is the complete elimination of dust emissions. Traditional open conveying methods, such as belt conveyors or screw conveyors, often generate dust clouds that pose health risks to workers and violate environmental standards. The enclosed pneumatic system, using a silo pump, seals the material from the feed point to the discharge point, ensuring zero fugitive dust. This is critical for the Turkey pneumatic conveying project, as the power plant is located near residential areas and agricultural land. Another advantage is the flexibility of routing. The pipeline can be installed overhead, underground, or along existing structures, avoiding obstacles and minimizing footprint. The Kayseri plant had limited space for new equipment, and the silo pump system's compact design allowed installation within the existing silo area without requiring major civil works. Additionally, the dense-phase conveying mode reduces air consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional systems, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The system also reduces maintenance costs because the low-velocity flow minimizes pipeline abrasion, and the enclosed nature protects components from weather and contamination. The silo pump itself is designed for easy maintenance, with quick-access doors and replaceable wear liners. The project at Kayseri Power Plant has demonstrated that this technology can handle the specific characteristics of limestone powder, which is cohesive, hygroscopic, and abrasive. The system's control algorithm includes a self-cleaning cycle to prevent blockages, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during long shutdowns. HaiDe Powder, the company based in China Shandong, has provided comprehensive training to the local operation and maintenance team, ensuring long-term reliability. For any technical questions or project inquiries, please reach out to Manager Zhang, the project manager, at 15662777102.
The engineering implementation of the limestone powder silo pump enclosed conveying system at the Kayseri Power Plant followed a structured approach. First, the HaiDe Powder team conducted a thorough site assessment, analyzing the physical properties of the limestone powder, the layout of existing equipment, the available compressed air capacity, and the power supply. The team also considered the local climate conditions, including high summer temperatures and occasional dust storms, which could affect the system's performance. Based on the assessment, a customized dense-phase pneumatic conveying system was designed with a conveying capacity of 15 tons per hour over a distance of 200 meters with a vertical lift of 30 meters. The silo pump was selected with a volume of 1.5 cubic meters, operating at a maximum pressure of 4 bar. The pipeline was made of carbon steel with a thickness of 8 mm, and the bends were lined with ceramic tiles to extend service life. The installation phase was completed in six weeks, with the HaiDe Powder team working closely with the local contractor to ensure compliance with Turkish safety standards. The commissioning phase involved a series of tests, including leak tests, pressure tests, and material flow tests. The system achieved its design capacity within the first week of operation, and the limestone powder was delivered to the injection points with a consistent particle size distribution. The operating results have been outstanding: the system has operated continuously for over 12 months without any unscheduled shutdowns, and the plant's desulfurization efficiency has improved by 15% due to the precise dosing of limestone powder. The enclosed nature of the system has also reduced the plant's water consumption, as no dust suppression sprays are needed. The maintenance team has reported that the pipeline wear is negligible, and the silo pump seals have shown no signs of leakage. The project has become a reference case for the power generation industry in Turkey, and several other power plants have expressed interest in adopting similar technology.
