Nol-Tec
introduces Sorb-N-Ject Technology
 Lino
Lakes, MN -- As pollution concerns lead to increasingly
tighter regulatory standards and the need for more stringent
controls at coal-fired power plants, Nol-Tec provides full
Dry Sorbent Injection Systems for mitigating multi-pollutant
emissions under the trademark Sorb-N-Ject™ Technology.
Dilute-phase positive-pressure
pneumatic conveying technology is used to continuously
transfer dry bulk sorbent material from storage silos to
injection ports on boiler flue gas ducts. The injected
sorbent reacts with multi-pollutants in flue gas to reduce
emissions.
A fluidizing bin bottom is
installed on each silo to prevent stored material from rat
holing, bridging or arching. Each loss-in-weight feeder
hopper is easy to calibrate and equipped with its own
reverse jet pulse dust filter system, which traps the dust
generated during feeder refill and returns it to the
process. Each conveying line is equipped with a dedicated
positive displacement blower connected to a common air dryer
to ensure the sorbent material remains dry and does not plug
the line. To facilitate
maintenance, flow meters and variable frequency drive
controls can be added to the blower packages. Conveying line
insulation and blowout ports are also available. Injection
lances are automatically purged of any blockages.

Mr. Wise needs help finding a
replacement feeder
I am trying to find a
variable, multi-blade, vibrating feeder called "Pro-Feeder"
manufactured/sold by Automated Assembly Inc. out of
Naperville Illinois back in the early 90's.
I am interested in possibly
purchasing one of these units but it appears the company is
no longer in business.
Any help as to the where
about of the company or if any other company is
manufacturing this feeder would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
