CRITICAL SEPARATION PROJECTS ARE TAKING SHAPE

In the third quarter of 2015 we worked hard in several ongoing projects, which are now being installed for new critical applications, while having secured several orders for our most strategic geographies in the biomass & coal combustion “core” market. Considering the worse international outlook of several emerging economies where ACS is present, we are happy to see projects still moving forward.

Our largest cyclones so far are being installed in ArcelorMittal’s model plant in Ghent, Belgium, by our partner Mecwide - an international company based in Portugal supporting ACS in the fabrication, installation and global commissioning for large projects for which our equipments are determinant. In Ghent, objective was to protect a 3.5MW Fan from abrasive dust in the scope of an energy recovery project where hot air is recirculated to the sinter strand.

In another critical application, ACS is installing high-pressure cyclones designed to capture black powder from natural gas lines, thereby alleviating, and possibly, in the future, replacing cartridge filters in city filtration stations operated by EDP – Gas Distribuição, thus preventing very serious damages this powder causes in the gas users´ equipment.

In the powder recovery area new orders were received from several pharmaceutical companies in the scope of new projects for API powder recovery, including Hovione and Ipsen.

Regarding the biomass combustion area, we have to highlight our first project for this application in Brazil (company Florestal) in order to comply with Particulate Matter (PM) emission regulation in Rio Grande do Sul State (70mg/Nm3). On the other side of the world, in Malaysia, ACS signed an Agreement with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board on the divulgation and information of our ReCyclone Systems as a solution to reduce PM emissions under new imposed limits. ACS and the MPOB, supported by O'rec Industries, will have a demonstration plant in Sindora Berhad Palm Oil Mill in Johor Bahru, Malaysia for all interested parties.

Hurricane Cyclones To Reduce Emissions Of Dryer Cyclones In Glowood Pellet Plant (71,839 m3 /h at 87ºC)

ACS designed and supplied a Hurricane Cyclone System to reduce PM emissions of existing dryer cyclones at Glowood Pellet Plant

The plant occupies a total area of 3.8 hectares and a total investment amounting to 10 M€. Production (100.000 ton/y) is 100% for export, as Portugal consumes under 10% of what it manufactures on a global basis (approximately 1M ton/y in 2012). A warm climate may until now have been the main reason for the inexistence of pellet consuming district heating facilities in Po...
