Richmond Engineering Works products

Fly ash is one kind of waste produced by coal-fired power plants. Pollution control equipment used in coal combustion captures fly ash from the chimneys of coal plants. Fly ash and bottom ash that are removed from the base of coal furnaces are often referred to simply as bottom ash. Richmond Engineering Works has designed, supplied, and commissioned control systems that uniquely deploy dependable and easy-to-operate HMI systems. These HMI systems and upgrades allow plant personnel to better monitor and more accurately control the system operation as well as help the maintenance personnel locate, diagnose and correct problems quickly and efficiently.

A continuous barge unloader (CBU) is a system of buckets set up on a chain. This provides for fast unloading of a barge onto a conveyor and into the coal yard. CBU’s can be a single ladder or twin ladder. REW provides a variety of electrical, structural, and mechanical upgrades for CBUs. Upgrades are designed to meet customer’s specific needs for a smoother, more efficient operation and extended machine life.

Richmond Engineering Works has extensive experience with today`s high­-tech, as well as "vintage", drive systems. Modern drives are also capable of communication with the control system via multiple platforms. The drive information is then available to operations and maintenance personnel for day-to-day operation of the equipment, troubleshooting, trending, etc. We offer expert drive system support in the form of integrated system design, installation supervision, and technical service of all types of AC motors, DC motors, motor controllers, motor­-generator sets, and drives.

Richmond Engineering Works offers a fully outfitted panel shop. We can engineer, design, and construct electrical control panels to suit any application. Each enclosure is quality checked  in-­house and a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) can be performed on each panel to ensure that it operates according to specification before it leaves our shop.  Having our own dedicated panel shop ensures that our customers receive control panels of the highest quality in a timely manner.
