| Roberts & Schaefer Company (R&S) understands bituminous
GOB is an inconsistent fossil fuel exhibiting a wide range of
material handling and storage characteristics as its moisture
and size change. The design principles of handling GOB are to
accommodate these flow variations that occur. Such design principles
include transporting GOB in a manner that minimises dust generation,
prevents build-up and dead storage areas in chute work and storage
facilities. Bituminous GOB is the rejects material created in
a coal benefication facility. R&S has designed and built over
500 coal benefication plants and related facilities.
Our bituminous GOB handling experience is illustrated by the
succeeding projects in which the fuel contained enough BTU's to
warrant building a power plant.
MORGANTOWN ENERGY PROJECT
 Bechtel
Power Corporation
Morgantown, West Virginia
For their Morgantown Energy Project, Bechtel chose R&S to
provide engineering and procurement for processing of bituminous
coal and GOB. R&S engineered the associated silos, electrical,
control, instrumentation, and interfaced with supplied control
systems. In-depth project information
GRANT TOWN PROJECT
 Bibb
and Associates
Grant Town, West Virginia
R&S created a GOB/Limestone preparation and handling system
with vibratory feeders moving 12" x 0" GOB via conveyor
to where it is wet screened, crushed and dewatered to 1/4"
x 0". Limestone is crushed, dried, pneumatically transported,
and then combined with processed GOB as a usable fuel. In-depth
