Western Kentucky Energy – Coleman Station
- Owner: Western Kentucky Energy
- Project: Western Kentucky Energy
- Location: Coleman Station, Hawesville, Kentucky
- Scope: Engineering, Procurement and Construction
Project Background
Engineering, procurement and construction of a fuel blending system, limestone handling system, and gypsum handling system.
The coal facility accepts coal from the existing crusher building and conveys it to two concrete stacking tubes, which form two 10,000 ton storage piles.
The coal is then reclaimed by belt feeders and is delivered to two reclaim transfer conveyors, which deliver the coal to the existing coal reclaim conveyors.
The new coal stockpiles are adjacent to the existing coal stockpile.
The limestone facility accepts limestone from a truck receiving hopper and is conveyed to a 14,000 ton stockpile.
The stored limestone is then conveyed to two one–hour day bins.
The gypsum facility accepts gypsum from the existing gypsum building and conveys it to a new radial stacking conveyor, which makes a 10,000 ton gypsum stockpile.
The material then gets loaded into trucks.
