The project titled "Coke Powder Closed Pneumatic Conveying in Casablanca, Morocco" is a landmark implementation in the African pneumatic conveying industry. This case study focuses on a successful closed pneumatic conveying system for coke powder handling at a plant in Casablanca, Morocco. It serves as a prime example of pneumatic conveying, African pneumatic conveying, and Casablanca pneumatic conveying. The project demonstrates Headpowder's advanced engineering capability in designing and delivering dust-free, efficient, and reliable material handling systems for demanding applications.

Coke powder is a fine, abrasive material commonly produced during petroleum refining and coal coking. It is widely used in industrial applications such as metallurgy, chemical production, and energy generation. However, its unique physical properties make material handling difficult. Open conveying methods easily cause dust pollution, material waste, and safety risks. The client in Casablanca, Morocco, required a completely enclosed conveying system that could transport coke powder from storage silos to processing units without any dust leakage, while also operating reliably under continuous production demands. To meet these rigorous requirements, Headpowder was selected as the engineering, procurement, and construction partner for this turnkey project.

The designed pneumatic conveying system uses a pressure blow tank to feed coke powder into a dense-phase conveying pipeline. In this system, compressed air is precisely controlled to fluidize the material and push it through the pipeline to the destination silo. Dense-phase conveying operates under relatively low velocity and high pressure, which helps to reduce particle degradation and pipe wear. The entire closed conveying process ensures that the material is completely isolated from the surrounding environment. The system is fully automated, with PLC controls and a range of sensors monitoring pressure, flow rate, and material level in real time. The pipeline layout was carefully engineered to minimize bends, reduce pressure drop, and optimize energy consumption. Furthermore, all components that come into contact with the material, including blow tanks, pipe bends, and diverter valves, are made from wear-resistant materials or fitted with ceramic liners to withstand the abrasive nature of coke powder.

At the receiving end, a high-efficiency baghouse filter cleans the conveying air before it is released into the atmosphere, fully complying with environmental protection regulations in Morocco. The filter also prevents any fine powder from escaping, ensuring a dust-free working environment and a clean plant area. The installation and commissioning of the entire system were completed smoothly, with Headpowder's engineers supervising every stage and cooperating closely with local contractors. After commissioning, comprehensive operator training and complete technical documentation were provided to the local team. This hands-on support enabled the client to operate and maintain the system safely and effectively. Since start-up, the system has significantly improved production efficiency and workplace safety, eliminated dust hazards, and reduced material losses. Thanks to the durable design and high-quality components, maintenance requirements have remained minimal, resulting in low operating costs and high availability.

This project in Casablanca is now recognized as a successful case among pneumatic conveying projects in Africa. It showcases how a well-engineered closed pneumatic conveying system can solve challenging bulk material transfer problems while being both economical and environmentally friendly.
