Liverpool Bulk Terminal
Liverpool Bulk Terminal (LBT) is a coal importing facility situated within the Port of Liverpool at Gladstone Dock. It is capable of handling five million tonnes of coal from vessel to stock and then reclaiming to rail or road loading hoppers.
A major feature of the Terminal design is the environmental controls designed to minimised coal dust emissions. This involves dust suppression sprays fitted on fixed conveying plant and around the coal stockyard. In addition a water bowser is used for spraying coal stocks to prevent dust.
The Terminal is designed to store, treat and reuse water. The drainage system has been designed to collect all water run-off from around the site into a large concrete sump. The water is then pumped through a water treatment system that removes the solids and stores the clarified water ready for reuse. All water discharged into the dock complies with consent limits imposed by the Environment Agency.
