Project Overview
RULA delivered an integrated ash handling solution for the İskenderun Sugözü power station — pneumatic conveying, four storage silos, structural steelwork, and electrical, instrumentation and control systems — from engineering and design through manufacturing, shipping and commissioning.
// Scope of Work
RULA Scope Of Work
RULA’s scope included project management, engineering, design management, manufacturing, shipping and commissioning of the mechanical, structural, electrical, control and instrumentation systems associated with the ash handling plant.
Bottom Ash Handling
Pressure vessel conveying systems
Bottom ash collection equipment
Pneumatic conveying pipelines
Conveying air distribution
Diverter valves
Hopper aeration
Valves and associated mechanical equipment
Ash transfer to the storage silos
Fly Ash Handling
The fly ash system was designed to collect ash from the electrostatic precipitators (ESP) and pneumatically convey the material to the ash storage silos.
Multiple pressure vessel conveying systems
Pneumatic conveying pipelines
Hopper aeration and fluidisation
Automated conveying sequences
Conveying air control
Diverter systems for silo selection
Instrumentation and process monitoring
Ash Storage & Silo Systems
Four ash storage silos formed part of the overall material handling system. Each silo incorporated equipment for:
Ash receiving and distribution
Silo aeration and fluidisation
Venting and dust filtration
Pressure protection
Dry ash discharge
Road tanker loading
Wet ash discharge and conditioning
The system allowed ash to be discharged either as dry ash through truck loading chutes or conditioned with water prior to discharge for further handling.
Compressor & Blower Systems
The pneumatic conveying and silo systems were supported by dedicated compressed-air and aeration equipment, including:
Screw compressors
Air dryers
Aeration blowers
Air distribution piping
Control and isolation valves
Hopper and silo aeration systems
Structural & Mechanical Systems
RULA’s scope incorporated the structural steelwork necessary to support and maintain the ash handling installation, including:
Conveying pipe gantries
Pipe support structures
Equipment support steelwork
Platforms and access structures
Maintenance structures
Monorails and lifting equipment
Silo equipment supports
Compressor and blower house supports
Electrical, Instrumentation & Control
The ash handling plant incorporated integrated electrical and automation systems for reliable plant operation.
Electrical distribution
Motor control systems
PLC-based automation
DCS interfaces
Digital and analogue instrumentation
Valve control and position monitoring
Pressure and level monitoring
Junction boxes and relay panels
Automated conveying sequences
Silo aeration and discharge control
