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
