Filter Designs Ltd have for many years been purchasing silos for our Waste to Energy plants for use as bulk storage for the Sorbent injection for acid reduction (sodium bicarbonate, hydrated lime and for the reacted sorbent and ash from the bag filter (CleanPulse). To get better control over quality and design FDL now have developed their own range of designed silos which are used for projects but are now available as a standalone product.
Welded Silos
Are supplied complete and delivered on a flat back vehicle, saving the need for on-site construction. These steel silos are manufactured from 4 mm mild steel with a durbar plate top. The silos are 3380mm in diameter and are provided with a length to suit the capacity required by the customer requirements. Our standard silo has an overall height of 12500 mm with supports and a clearance under the bottom flange of 2500 mm. This silo has a capacity of 70 m³.
Panelled (Bolted) Silos
Where access is limited we have designed a range of panelled silos which can be built up on-site, internally or externally. These silos, along with the welded version are still perfect for storing bulk materials and can be supplied with a bottom skirt to contain spillages or provide suitable weatherproofing.

Numerous accessories and ancillary equipment are available with our silos including:
Inlet fill pipe,
Inlet fill proximity switch

Finish and Extras

We were contracted to provide 2 small Ceramic filters suitable for a small volume but with a design maximum temperature of 600°C. In addition the filters will be handling a syngas which cannot be mixed with oxygen so an alternative to compressed air would need to be used for the ‘Cleanpulse’ cleaning of the 25 Ceramic element in each of these CPC78 filters. In addition dosing of small amounts of a re-agent is required so the client also opted for a ‘Cleandose’ 25kg bag skid. Find out more about Project CAD below.
