ABSTRACT:
A midstream apparatus for the receipt, sampling, cooling, and blending of coal provides a continuous transfer capability from one or more barges containing coals of various grades to an ocean vessel requiring blended coal meeting given specifications. The apparatus is a barge mounted combination, having a number of receiving hoppers into which coal may be loaded by transfer from a series of supply barges, usually by a barge mounted clam shell bucket. A number of hoppers are provided so that coal from each barge, having a given specification, may be loaded into a single hopper. Each hopper has individually controlled transfer capabilities permitting the blending of coal of different qualities into a continuous stream. From the hoppers, the coal passes through a magnetic device for removal of iron and then, in a continuous flow along a convoluted, rising belt system which provides, when desirable for diversion of the flowing coal through a series of air drop towers for cooling to maintain the coal with a given maximum temperature. The coal passes a multi-cut sampler for continuous monitoring of blend and quality. The multiplicity of belts raise the coal to a point at which the coal passes via a telescoping transfer belt into an ocean going vessel. The apparatus provides, in compact form, the capabilities of a shorebased storage, sampling, blending and transfer facility and permits the direct transfer of coal from a multiple number of barges onto an ocean going vessel.
