Types of Coal Storage Sheds


During the storage of coal many challenges arise such as spontaneous combustion of coal, loss of GCV (gross calorific value) and fugitive dust emissions. Due to rise of these kinds of problems there is a significant monetary and environmental loss. Coal storage sheds are considered as the perfect solution to overcome the challenges. With the help of coal storage sheds, these problems can be eliminated easily without damaging the environment. There are 2 types of Coal storage sheds-

1. COAL STORAGE - BARREL VAULT SHED

In this case, coal storage will be formed by the conventional rail mounted stacker cum reclaimer machines will be covered within the shed. The length and span of the shed could be adopted depending on the quantity of the storage required. In case of future expansion the length of the shed can be increased and same stacker reclaimer can be used for higher volumes. 


2. COAL STORAGE - DOME SHED
In this type of structure, the shape of the shed will be in the semi hemispherical form. There will be a concrete wall up to a certain height from the ground level and the structure will be erected above this wall. The dome structure of various sizes could be adopted depending on the quantity of storage required. A circular stacker and scraper type reclaimer could be used for reclaiming the coal. With this type of shed, coal will protected from wind and rain and hence the problems associated with these will be avoided. This kind of storage shed can accommodate higher quantity of coal in a smaller area as the height of storage could be increased.
