What is washed coal peas South Africa

FAQs 

How is washed coal peas different from regular coal? 

Washed coal peas are processed in a wash plant to remove dirt, stone and fines. The result is a uniform, pea-sized product with lower ash, cleaner combustion, less slag and easier ash handling. 

Will switching to washed coal peas help with slagging in my boiler? 

Often yes. Fewer impurities mean less clinker and slag, so cleaning intervals usually lengthen and combustion stabilises, provided your equipment is set up correctly. 

Can RP Mining help me choose the right coal grade for my plant? 

Yes. We assess your equipment, consumption and problems, then recommend the washed pea grade that fits your needs. You don’t need to be a combustion expert  just tell us how the plant is performing. 

What information do you need before you can quote? 

Tell us your equipment type, average coal usage, current coal grade (if known), location for logistics, and any issues like high ash, unstable steam or slagging. 

Do I need to change my equipment to use washed coal peas? 

Usually no. Most plants running pea-size coal can switch without major changes. Minor feed-rate or air-setting adjustments may be needed to get optimal combustion.
