Case Study – Powder Dosing Application MEENCRUMLIN WATER TREATMENT WORKS Ballybofey, County Donegal Customer Donegal County C Case Study – Powder dosing application The Leading Water, Wastewater MEENCRUMLIN WATER TREATMENT WORKS & Materials Handling Equipment Specialists Ballybofey, County Donegal Customer Donegal County Council System type Powder storage, supply & mixing Material Sodium Carbonate (Granular Soda Ash) System description 1-off Silo feeding to 2-off mixing tanks with weigh hoppers Silo size 30 tonnes Mixing method Hopper with load cells, feeding into mixer Installed 2009 Water flow rate 32 MLD APPLICATION DESCRIPTION This site is one of the critical water supply sites in County Donegal. It is in a very exposed location beside Lough Mourne, on the road up from Ballybofey towards the bleak but scenic Barnesmore Gap. The water is sourced from this Lough. It is very ‘hard’, as the underlying rock is limestone. The soda ash is added as a pre- treatment stage, removing calcium to soften the water. SKE Solutions have fully designed, built and installed a bespoke system for this application. There is a large outdoors silo which incorporates an internal mechanical ‘arch breaker’ at the base. The arch breaker very effectively delivers powder and prevents any product blockages in the silo cone. Intrinsic metering and transfer conveyors deliver the ash to the weigh hoppers above the mixing tanks, which are installed indoors. These mixing systems were designed to fit the existing building and a bespoke system ensures the optimum solution for this application. ADVANTAGES - This is a complete bespoke design - It is a turnkey package to client requirements - Straightforward installation & usage - Pro-active advice & guidance was given from the project start to completion - Unique arch-breaker system ensures reliable precise powder delivery from the silo - Metering & transfer screw conveyors, for reliable powder delivery from the silo - Benefit of SKE experience over 20 years with many installations in Britain & Ireland - System reliability and customer care are a priority in producing this satisfactory solution 3 Derryloran Business Centre Sandholes Road Cookstown, Co.

  • Appendix 13.2
    Appendix 13.2 Descriptions of Cultural Heritage Sites referenced in Chapter 13. Recorded Monuments and SMR (NI) within 5km of the nearest turbine DG077-014 There is no trace of the single-ringed enclosure shown on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6- inch maps. The local topography would suggest a cashel rather than an earthen enclosure. DG077-021 This monument, not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, first came to notice in 1988. It stands in a mature forest on a little ledge of a rocky SE-facing slope among the hills forming the S side of the basin of the River Finn, c. 4km SW of Ballybofey. The monument consists of a roofed chamber facing NE, which stands toward one end of a long cairn. The chamber is 1.7m long and 1m wide internally and stands 2.5m from the NE end of the cairn, which is set along the contour of the slope. The stone-built cairn is almost wholly covered by moss, and a layer of peat has formed along its western edge. Some fallen trees and undergrowth of bushes and rough grass obscure its perimeter in places, but its essential shape is clear. It is subrectangular in outline, measures 17m NE-SW by 8m NW-SE and reaches c. 0.7m high. Some stones have rolled downslope from its eastern and southern edges. Two longitudinally set portal-stones either side of a sillstone mark the front of the chamber. A single orthostat forms each side of the chamber, and another closes its SW end.

Born into a clerical family in Burgh St. Peter in Norfolk in 1832, Boycott joined the 39th Regiment of Foot in Preston in 1850 and held the rank of Ensign from then, through postings to Belfast, Newry, Dublin and Clonmel, until he resigned his commission in Clonmel in 1852 (Boycott 1997, 89–94). Military records2 indicate that he never achieved the rank of Captain during his time in the army, yet this rank is consistently applied to his name in contemporary accounts of his actions in the Ballinrobe area in 1880, when he became an infamous figure in the Irish Land War.

  • Cashelnavern Border & Uplands LCA 40
    Cashelnavern Border & Uplands LCA 40 Cashelnavern Border & Uplands LCA is a vast, mountainous, remote and undeveloped upland area bordering Northern Ireland characterized by peat covered hills and the mountain lakes of Lough Mourne and Lough Carn. The N15, one of the major routes into and through the county travels along the valley floor of Barnesmore gap alongside the freshwater Lough Mourne which providing water to much of east Donegal. There are isolated areas of semi-improved farmland nestled with single rural dwellings throughout this LCA, contrasting greatly with the many large swathes of geometric commercial forestry plantations on the lower slopes and shoulders of the hills. Landscape Character type 186 Landscape Characteristics Land Form and Land Cover • This upland hilly landscape comprises a varied mosaic geology of schist, breccia and quartzite beneath a primarily peat and upland bog landscape. • Lough Mourne freshwater lake is in the centre of this LCA at the north of Barnsemore gap and within the broad river valley. • Croaghonagh Bog Special Area of conservation is within this LCA and supports some of the best examples of wet lowland blanket bog in the county. The SAC site adjoins two good examples of oligotrophic lake habitat namely Lough Mourne and Lough Carn. Settlements • There are no settlements within this LCA. History, Culture and Heritage • There is 1 Recorded Monument in this area, however a recent excavation at the north end of Lough Mourne uncovered a court tomb and a wedge tomb from the early Bronze Age period along with a cairn and other relics and artefacts, evidencing the importance of the site and this route through the Bluestacks, from pre-history.
