For over 25 years, Clyde Pneumatic Conveying MD-Pump systems have been installed in large power generation plants worldwide, providing reliable dense phase conveying of fly ash from ESP and fabric filter collection systems.
The Clyde MD-Pump (T) is a low-capacity, dense-phase pneumatic conveying system developed primarily for fly ash collection systems associated with Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) and Fabric Filters.
Designed for installations with multiple dust collection hoppers, the MD-Pump provides reliable, efficient ash transfer in large power generation plants and industrial filtration systems.
The Clyde MD-Pump (T) is a low-volume, dense-phase pneumatic conveying system specifically developed for reliable ash removal from Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) back-row hoppers, where ash accumulation is typically lower.
Working in conjunction with its larger counterpart, the MD-Pump (C), the MD-Pump (T) ensures efficient and balanced ash removal across the entire ESP field.
Together, the MD-Pump (C) and MD-Pump (T) provide a complete, highly reliable ash-handling solution for power plants and industrial combustion processes worldwide.
Key Features
Optimised for lower ash accumulation zones
Back-row ESP hoppers typically collect less ash than the front rows. The MD-Pump (T) is specifically sized to handle these lower ash loads efficiently.
Dense phase conveying performance
Low-velocity dense-phase conveying significantly reduces wear in pipelines and bends while ensuring stable material transport.
Robust isolation with Dome Valve technology
The system incorporates Clyde's proven Dome Valve technology, providing reliable sealing and long service life when handling abrasive ash.
Energy-efficient operation
By applying dense-phase conveying principles, the MD-Pump (T) minimises air consumption and compressor power requirements.
Proven worldwide references
Clyde ash handling systems have been installed in power plants around the world, delivering reliable operation for decades.
Typical ESP Installation Arrangement
- MD-Pump (C) units are installed beneath the front hopper rows, where most ash accumulation occurs.
- MD-Pump (T) units are installed beneath the rear hopper rows, where ash loading is significantly lower.
This combined configuration provides balanced ash removal across the entire ESP, ensuring stable plant operation and preventing hopper build-up.
Typical Performance Range:
- Conveying Mode: Dense Phase
- Capacity: Up to ~10 tph
- Conveying Distance: Up to ~1200 m
- Materials: Fly Ash and Combustion Ash
- Industries: Power Generation & Industrial Boilers
Ideal for Retrofit and Modernisation
The MD-Pump (T) is well-suited for modernising existing ash handling systems, particularly where older technologies require replacement.
Dense phase conveying systems offer significant advantages over traditional ash handling methods, including:
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Reduced pipeline wear
- Improved system reliability
- Lower operating costs
This makes the MD-Pump range a preferred solution for power plants seeking to upgrade ageing ash handling infrastructure.
