ANALYSIS AND SELECTION OF PNEUMATIC TRANSPORT WITHIN THE POWDER LIME PRODUCTION LINE

Abstract

This paper discusses the selection of the most technically suitable method of transporting lime powder within the existing plant at the lime factory. From the production line, lime powder must be transported to the factory silo. Of the more technically feasible variants analysed, flying pneumatic transport was chosen as the most favourable variant within the existing technological process of lime powder production. Based on the given transport capacity, a calculation of the pressure drop in the transport pipeline was made, and then the selection of installation and equipment. Technical and technological analysis of the transport system was performed.
