Moisture Reduction Success at Eaton Hall

摘要

As part of a recent business efficiency exercise.Tarmac Ltd engaged the services of specialist materials drying and pumping company Moisture Reduction Systems Ltd (MRS) to install a sand drying system at Eaton Hall Quarry, near Congleton, Cheshire. Following several pre-planning meetings with MRS, and acting upon their free drawdown pumping test data,Tarmac's management team concluded that it would be beneficial to have an MRS vacuum-assisted accelerated moisture reduction system installed beneath the coarse and fine silica sand stockpiles, as these materials were having to spend a considerable amount of time in the site's fluid-bed dryer following a period of gravity drainage. An additional benefit would be an improvement in materials handling at the site, as the dewatering installation would also remove the large residue of washing water present at the base of the stockpiles.
