Project Background
In 1995 Roberts & Schaefer Company USA was awarded an EPC contract to build an addition to the existing coal washery, 4000 MT storage silo and a load–out, including coal blending, utilizing state of the art equipment and automation.
Project involved the installation of high efficiency Tabor “banana” screens, crushers, CMI Centrifuges, cyclones, belt presses and high speed centrifuges, as well as a very challenging construction of a 4000 MT capacity silo on a “floating” concrete mat, due to poor soil conditions and subsidence.
Separator was tasked with the detailed engineering on this project. Modernized plant started production on budget and ahead of schedule.
