HELE: CIRCULATING FLUIDISED BED PROJECT

Coaltech | June 2026

R1500,00

Description

The study assessed the feasibility of establishing a 500 kW thermal Circulating Fluidised Bed (CFB) combustion test facility to evaluate the technology under South African conditions. It found that the proposed facility is technically feasible, with Eskom Rosherville identified as the preferred site, and provides a foundation for progressing to the next phase of detailed engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning.

What this report found

Ion exchange was assessed as a treatment route for brine arising from mine water cleaning, from a market rather than a plant performance standpoint. World demand for ion exchange resins was expected to pass 535 million dollars by 2015, driven by urbanisation, pollution and shortages of clean water in developing regions.

What this report found

Finite element simulation reproduced the rapid collapse of bord and pillar workings in the 2 Seam at a Witbank colliery, showing that progressive pillar deterioration triggers snap through of a strong sandstone plate in the overburden. Too little was known about the chosen collapse to back out a real pillar safety factor, so the calibration goal was not met.
