WHAT IS ASH?
Ash is oxidized form of the mineral matters

present in coal. Typical ash composition : SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO etc. Coal with more SiO2 & Al2O3, Ash MP > 1400C Coal with more Fe2O3, CaO & MgO, Ash MP < 1100C

MAKING SLURRY (BOTTOM ASH)

It is approx. 20% of total ash produced in the

boiler. Collected in the bottom ash hopper below the boiler, which is filled with water. Bottom Ashing is done once in every 4 hours through clinker grinders and BAHP water. Normally bottom Ashing takes 45 minutes to 01 hour.

MAKING SLURRY(FLY ASH)

Eco and eco bypass hopper deashing

1. Eco and eco bypass hopper deashing is done

through Ejector system by BAHP water. APH hoppers evacuation 1. Air pre heater hoppers are connected to fly ash evacuation system and are evacuated by vacuum pumps. 2. 05 numbers each are connected to the B and C passes of ESP hopper evacuation line.

ASH UTILISATION
Fly ash bricks / blocks Cellular concrete products In manufacture of cement and asbestos products Road construction Embankment/back fills/land development Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) In agriculture Mine filling Extraction of Cenospheres

SUGGESTION
USE OF WATER TO BE RESTRICTED
PUMP LEAKAGE TO BE AVOIDED DRY ASH COLLECTION SYSTEM TO BE

PROMOTED AS MORE AS POSSIBLE MORE UTILIZATION OF DRY ASH ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS OF TYPICAL PROBLEMS & THEIR MODIFICATIONS IS VERY NECESSARY FOR GETTING BETTER PERFORMANCE.
