Storage building for granulated product and fine-grained concentrated product and Classification Department

This Potassium Chloride Storage and Handling Plant contract consists of:

a. Designing complete granulated products storage and handling plant including civil, structural and electromechanical features of the system
b. Implementation of civil works and construction of 14000 m2 steel structure with a height of 28.00 m
c. Procurement and manufacturing of Electromechanical machinery and equipment of the plant
d. Installation and commissioning of the plant

The plant is designed for stocking and handling of potassium mineral before dispatching. The processed fine-grained and granular mineral imported by conveyors into two adjacent stock halls in the plant. The granular material is unloaded by a 550 ton/hr. capacity reclaimer and transported to classification department of this plant where approximately 10 % fine material is separated and sent to the fine-grained material storage hall and the rest of the material is sent to the dispatching unit.

The fine grained materials coming from processing units and the classification department of this plant are carried by conveyors to the hall with a capacity of 47000 m³. This stocked fine grained mineral is unloaded by another 550 ton/hr. capacity reclaimer and sent to the dispatching department by a conveyor system.

This plant is designed as a single compact unit consisting of two stock halls with capacities of 35.000 m³ and 47.000 m³ and a classification department together with its electromechanical and automation facilities.

The process in the plant is an automatic operation working in compliance with the other process units such as separation and floatation unit and dispatching unit. This automated operation is run by a specially designed software and hardware utilizing PLC devices.
