BVC has handed over a major
project to a UK power
station, enabling the clean up
and recycling of spilt materials. The
requirement was to supply and
install fixed pipe work systems in
coal conveyors and buildings which
handle the coal from rail delivery to
the boiler bunker penthouse where a
fixed pipe system was required.

Installation of these pipe systems,
used in conjunction with mobile
skips and vacuum plant, has
delivered a cost effective solution. All
materials collected can be returned
to the coal stockpile making savings
on a precious resource.

Ten pipe systems have been
installed. Each has been designed for
two people to carry out heavy
industrial vacuum cleaning
operations and bulk removal duties
removing products from the floors
throughout the coal reception and
processing facility.

Coal is accelerated from a static
condition by an airstream and
conveyed through pipework to an
interceptor skip at ground level where
most of the material is separated.
