Large-scale and Intelligent: To match the scale of modern large-scale coal preparation plants and power plants, equipment processing capacity is continuously increasing. Simultaneously, intelligent control systems based on big data and AI will become standard configurations, achieving unmanned operation, optimal energy efficiency, and predictive maintenance.
Energy Saving and Waste Heat Utilization: Developing efficient heat exchange technologies and integrated systems, and fully utilizing the plant's low-temperature waste heat (such as power plant circulating water and flue gas waste heat) as a drying heat source, is a key path to reducing energy consumption.
Clean Environment and Ultra-low Emissions: Developing more efficient and reliable integrated dust removal, desulfurization, and denitrification technologies to achieve near-zero dust emissions. For direct heating systems, exploring the use of clean gaseous fuels or oxygen-enriched combustion technology to reduce waste gas volume.
Adaptability and Multifunctionality: Developing highly flexible equipment capable of flexibly handling various materials (such as simultaneously processing coal slime and gangue) and adapting to different moisture fluctuations. Simultaneously, exploring integrated drying-sorting-forming processes.
Safety and Reliability: Further strengthening explosion-proof, fire-proof, and spontaneous combustion-proof designs, especially when handling high-volatile and fine-particle materials, to ensure the inherent safety of the system.
