Lime Handling Systems

Liquid Lime
The Richard Alan Engineering liquid lime storage system stores a lime slurry concentration to meet your specific requirements up to 40%.

Powdered Lime
The lime batching unit is a fully automated batching system for the mixing of hydrated lime into slurry. These units can be sized to feed the batching tank from either silos or FIBC (‘big bag’) systems by screw conveyor. Load cells under the batching tank accurately weigh in the correct amount of lime with the precise amount of water to produce the required concentration of lime slurry.

The batching system will operate on a duty/standby basis so that a batch can be made-up with the relevant retention time for adequate lime mixing, whilst the duty tank is being utilised. This means that there is no requirement for any plant shutdown whilst a batch is prepared.

Tanks can be supplied with various accessories to suit customer requirements such as feed hoppers, filters, level indication and dust arrestors.

Capacity:
The batching systems are supplied in sizes of 1 – 50 m3.
