Solid carbon handling in a hydrogen production plant
We delivered equipment for the safe handling of solid carbon to Europe's largest hydrogen production plant based on methane pyrolysis.
In addition to hydrogen, the facility produces high-quality carbon products for industrial use. At the start of the process, hot material is cooled before being transferred to storage silos. To prevent the material being transferred from igniting or exploding, oxygen is removed using nitrogen in an inerting tank.
Pneumatic transport is carried out using nitrogen. Additionally, of course, it is ensured that the final product is not contaminated at any stage of the process. The project was the customer's pilot site, so product development was carried out flexibly as the project progressed and adapted to new situations.

Bottom ash cooling
KRC coolers, specifically designed for cooling large bottom ash volumes, have been operating at this Polish power plant since 2018.
Copper calcine cooling
KGHM's Głogów smelter's copper concentrate cooling drum was delivered to Poland in 2016. The cooling drum is fed with 20 t/h of concentrate at a temperature of approximately 450°C. The drum cools the material down to approximately 130°C.
Bed sand drying
In 2025, we delivered another sand drying drum to the same Indonesian power plant as 10 years prior, this time with a capacity of 10 m3/h.
Bed sand drying
In 2015, we supplied a sand dryer for a power plant located in the Indonesian rainforest for the first time. The drying takes place in a rotating drum with a diameter of 1600mm, into which the wet sand is fed. The drying energy is generated by an oil burner. The dryer has a length of 5000mm and a capacity of 5 m³/h.
