Mirash Open-cast Coal Mine - Drying Plant

Drying Plant

This plant, used for the drying of wet coal, consists of two buildings:

  • Drying Plant I, in operation since 1964
  • Drying Plant II, in operation since 1972

The capacity of both drying plants is sufficient for processing 1,200,000 tons of wet coal per year to produce 610,000 tons of dried coal. The original buildings are still being used despite the fact that they are 27-35 years old.

Famous quotes containing the words drying and/or plant:

    Just as petals fall from drying garlands, which you can see aimlessly swimming in wine-bowls are we lovers, who now puff up our chests, but perhaps tomorrow the fateful day will shut us down.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    When they turn the sun
    on again I’ll plant children
    under it, I’ll light up my soul
    with a match and let it sing....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
