Development demands in the coal washing industry

With the rapid advancement and delelopment of coal washing technology in our country, coal preparation plants are becoming larger in scale, separation efficiency is continuously improving, the quantity of fine-grained coal is increasing, and issues such as deteriorating coal quality and increasing coal slurry are also arising. To develop intelligent coal washing technology, improve the comprehensive utilization of coal, and achieve zero discharge of coal slurry, coal preparation plants have placed higher demands on the key equipment, the filter press in the dewatering process.

Commonly used coal washing filtration equipment

After 2005, the requirement for commercial coal demanded a moisture rate of less than 9%. However, the existing processes for dewatering flotation clean coal and tailings reprocessing generally rely on conventional chamber membrane filter presses or tank-type pressure filter presses, resulting in a moisture rate of around 17-24% after dewatering. The high moisture rate of the clean coal after pressing not only increases transportation and storage costs but also raises the direct utilization cost of subsequent coal. By adopting Changjie's specialized intelligent air-through-flow high-efficiency filter press for coal washing, compared to traditional filtration equipment, the moisture rate can be reduced by an average of 5-10 %, with a calorific value increase of 500-1100 kcal, and operating costs of less than 3 yuan per ton.

1.      Chamber Membrane filter press:

Advantages: Simple structure and low cost.

Disadvantages:

Ø  High moisture rate in the filter cake, making discharging difficult and requiring significant manual assistance.

Ø  Low automation degree and limited production capacity.

Ø  Prone to leakage, leading to unfavorable working conditions at the site.

Ø  Short lifespan of filter cloth, resulting in high costs for spare parts and replacements.

2.      Tank-type pressure filter press:

Advantages: High level of automation, allowing for continuous operation.

Disadvantages:

Ø  Complex equipment structure, with an operating rate of less than 40%.

Ø  High energy consumption, accounting for approximately 20% of the overall factory's electricity consumption.

Ø  Rapid operation.

3.      Changjie Intelligent Air-through High-Efficiency Filter Press

Ø  Complete filtration and airflow feed-through pressing for the filter cake, with three-stage filtration process, resulting in the lowest moisture content of fine coal at 12-14%.

Ø  Operating cost per ton is less than 3 yuan, leading to significant value-added benefits for the fine coal.

Ø  Triple filter cloth regeneration technology extends the lifespan of filter cloth by at least 50%.

Ø  Smart filter press system, enhancing the level of intelligent filtration and contributing to the development of smart coal washing plants.
