Our photo this week is a sample of coal fines. Coal is a reliable energy source used around the world, but its dusty form is less than desirable to process and transport. Low rank coals are especially problematic, as they generate large amounts of dust, …
Coal, a combustible, sedimentary rock, has been used for centuries as a reliable energy source. Despite growing renewable energy sources, coal is still the backbone of the world’s energy grid, providing the electricity we need to turn on lights, heat our homes, and cook our …
Dust is an extremely prevalent issue when working with coal, and it presents many problems during processing, handling, and transportation. In addition, coal dust: Can be a health and safety hazard Results in product lost as dust Is difficult to transport and handle Can cause build-up …
Coal, coke, and pet coke materials are subject to handling in numerous settings, from mine sites to power generation facilities, paper mills, oil refineries, steel and aluminum producing facilities, and more. Combined with the many types, forms, and sizes that these materials can come in, …
The FEECO pin mixer offers a preventive approach to managing coal dust. Despite efforts to move away from fossil fuels, coal is still an important energy source and will likely continue to remain so well into the future. Unfortunately, with coal comes coal dust – …

This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile pin mixers for coal dust suppression. Pin mixers are the preferred device for coal dust suppression via agglomeration. Having supplied over 90 pin mixers for this purpose, the profile highlights FEECO’s expertise in coal pin mixers. Click …
This week’s photo shows coal fines (left) and coal pellets (right). The sample was agglomerated in FEECO’s state-of-the-art Innovation Center. The Innovation Center allows customers to test their material at batch and pilot scale, in order to establish the equipment setup and parameters necessary to …
When it comes to mining coal, there are two processes by which coal can be removed from the ground: surface mining, or underground mining. In Australia, the majority of coal mining is done via the opencast method, although often the method of choice is dependent …
