Bentonite Drying Plant

Client: Silver & Baryte Ores Mining Co S.A| Country: Greece| Period: 2001

Scope of work:

The Bentonite Drying Plant Automation Project involves the automation of the existing fluidized bed dryer units, so as to minimize operator intervention, optimize operating parameter stability and provide monitoring / control functionality in the Control Room, ensuring product output uniformity and repeatability.

The following main areas of control / monitoring form the project:

  • Fluidized bed inlet air temperature control
  • Fluidized bed inlet air control
  • Control of fluidized bed differential pressure
  • End product moisture content control based on Online Analysis and Temperature measurement.
  • Remote operation of feed diverters 

Monitoring of other parameters such as flue gas temperature and dew point, fuel temperature, pressure and flow parameters, and feed conveyor speed.
