Satom SA - Biomass

In two construction stages, Satom SA implemented two conveyor belt lines for the direct feed of the waste silo and the two incinerators with shredded combustible waste and biomass.

Developer: Satom SA

Place: Monthey

Project: system for feeding the waste silo and furnace lines

Year of construction: 1st stage: 2009-2010; 2nd stage: 2014

Project
Frei Fördertechnik AG implemented the conveyor system for the feeding of the waste silo and the two furnace lines in two construction phases. In the 1st stage, the supply of biomass and shredded waste was installed directly in the waste silo. To maintain operation even during the necessary refurbishment of the waste silo, a direct feed of the two furnace lines was planned. It was then implemented through the expansion and conversion of the existing conveyor system. The installation work was completed on schedule in December 2014.

Special features

  • Compliance with all fire protection regulations for the furnace feed.
  • Installation of an automatically controlled fire damper
  • Complicated installation in the second stage during ongoing operations
  • Short downtime for the connection to the existing conveyor system from the first construction stage

Technical data
