INTRODUCTIONA FULL SERVICE ORGANIZATION Section 01 1 WHO WE ARE Over the century since its founding in Chicago in 1903, Roberts & Schaefer Company has grown to become one of the leading global Engineering and Construction service providers focused on engineered bulk material handling solutions for the power and mining industries. During its history R&S acquired Soros, a leading global provider of material handling solutions for port and marine applications and Separator, providing services to Eastern European coal, minerals, and power markets. R&S provides its full range of capabilities and services globally through these brands. R&S is renowned for its technological leadership and innovation, we are widely known as an innovator in bulk material handling for coal and minerals processing systems, fuel handling systems for power generation, precious, base metals and industrial minerals benefi ciation plants, coal preparation facilities, aggregate facilities, cement production plants, and truck/rail/ship/barge terminal systems. Many of these facilities are augmented by ancillary infrastructure such as rail or water loading and unloading systems, open and totally enclosed storage, truck maintenance facilities, access and mine roads, reclaim installations, programming and PLC automated control systems, water supply, treatment and delivery systems, air quality control and dust collection systems. R&S has the capability to undertake such projects in their entirety and actively solicits the award of complete responsibility in the design and delivery of such facilities. Experience brings innovation, the application of new ideas and concepts and For over 100 years, Roberts & Schaefer different approaches to present industry practices. We understand the processes; has engineered solutions to process and we understand the steps to organize all aspects of a project; and we understand handle the world’s resources—with a the best technology for the applications. spirit of innovation, a dedication to quality Our engineering capabilities, technical expertise, and ability to execute and a skill for management. projects on a turnkey basis provide a signifi cant value proposition to both A&E fi rms and end customers, such as electric utilities, coal producers, and other mining companies. INTRODUCTION 2 Section 01 OUR PROJECT EXPERTISE In the projects experience section of this qualifi cation manual you will fi nd summaries of our current and historical projects, most from the last 15 years, that demonstrate our breadth and depth of capabilities. The project section is organized into the following topics: COAL FUEL HANDLING Coal handling is a critical step in the power generation process as there are multiple points in the chain from production. R&S has developed innovative solutions to meet requirements at each of these stages, including the design and construction of rapid discharge unloading facilities, stacking tubes, conveyor systems, reclaiming hoppers, crushers, silos, and various other systems. In addition, R&S designs and installs industry-leading dust suppression and collection systems that maintain air quality throughout the coal handling process. The Company is capable of taking full turnkey design and construction responsibilities for coal fuel facilities and has completed both new and retrofi t projects FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (“FGD”) FGD is the technology used for removing sulfur dioxide from the exhaust fl ue gases in coal-fi red power plants. Environmental protection legislation mandates that utilities install FGD systems to curb their emissions profi le and lessen their impact on the environment. The most common FGD technology is wet scrubbing, which uses a crushed limestone reagent to absorb SO2 from the power plant’s fl ue gasses. A byproduct of this process is gypsum, a compound that is marketable for use in the building products industry. R&S is the industry leader in the design, procurement, and construction of solutions for handling limestone and gypsum within the FGD process. The Company’s engineers understand the challenges associated with moving limestone and gypsum and have years of experience designing grinders, dryers, impactors, conveyors, screen feeders, sizing screens, surge bins, silos, and boiler houses. The Company is also experienced in the handling of lime and activated carbon from dry scrubber and mercury removal applications. INTRODUCTION Section 01 3 OUR PROJECT EXPERTISE ALTERNATIVE FUEL HANDLING As utilities and other power generators strive to reduce operating costs and explore environmentally friendly technologies, they are employing alternative fuel sources, such as petroleum coke, bituminous waste (gob), biomass, and bio-fuels. Wood chips, used tires, sugar cane waste, municipal waste, and virtually any other combustible material are being considered as alternative fuel sources. In particular, R&S engineers have extensive experience and knowledge of how petroleum coke is handled at the refi nery, utilized as a fuel source, and its applications to the cement industry. This assures careful analysis, correct criteria and equipment selection, and effi cient facility confi guration for every project. COAL MINING AND PROCESSING Leveraging a history of engineering excellence and material handling expertise, R&S began designing solutions for coal mining and processing customers in the early 1900s and quickly established itself as a leading provider of coal handling solutions for mining applications. Today, R&S continues to offer the coal mining and processing industries innovative and cost effective solutions for cleaning, transporting, conveying, storing, reclaiming, and loading coal. PRECIOUS & BASE METALS R&S provides material handling and processing solutions to customers mining various precious and base metals, including copper, gold, silver, and others. The Company has experience designing and implementing systems that enable gold and silver extraction, carbon absorption
