Coal Preparation Plants and Coal-Fired Power Plants

Coal preparation involves the movement of high volumes of solids that abrade and erode equipment. Ongoing maintenance and replacement over the equipment service life can result in extra expense and increased downtime.

Wear-resistant linings from Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories provide unparalleled abrasion and corrosion resistance and last many times longer than carbon steel.

Lining systems are available for a wide range of equipment, including:

  • Centrifuges
  • Chutes
  • Coal dryers
  • Cyclones
  • Distributors
  • JIG
  • Piping
  • Pumps
  • Screens
  • Sieves
  • Sumps
  • Vessels
