NCIG Brain Conveyor Dewatering Systems Operational

Stage 1 of the new coal export loading terminal constructed for the Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group in Newcastle, NSW. is now complete and the two Brain Conveyor Dewatering Systems installed on yard conveyors CV-08 & CV-09 are reported to be working well. Unlike ROM coal systems installed on trunk belts in underground coal mines that operate constantly to remove water from the conveyed product, systems installed in coal loading terminals come into play principally after major rain events and need to operate at peak efficiency to remove the large amount of water that presents upon start up of the yard conveyors. They then need to continue dewatering when the coal load comes on-stream until such time as wet product no longer presents.

Following on from two previous Brain Dewatering Sieves that were successfully retro-fitted at Dalrymple Bay coal terminal in Queensland, Aurecon-Hatch invited Brain to design and supply these complete systems for NCIG. Trial assembled in shop, ceramic lined, surface treated and delivered to site for installation, these units are the same 2500 belt width as those at Dalrymple Bay, but with the higher NCIG conveyor speed and capacity, they are the largest Conveyor Dewatering Systems that Brain has built to-date.

Brain has now been invited to tender the next unit to the same design for stage 2 conveyor CV-10.
