Reducing Costs and Improving Reliability for Dense Phase Limestone Transport System January 13, 2016 Result Eliminated $1,000,000 in trucking expenses and increased overall system reliability by designing and supporting the implementation of a continuous dense phase system. The project was completed on time and the trucking contract was cancelled two months after start-up. The solution met savings and reliability improvement goals.
