Bottom Ash Handling Systems

Bottom Ash Handling System

Slag and ash falling from the furnace are temporarily stored in the bottom ash silo. They are then sent to the ash pond using a hydro ejector. Alternatively, they are sent back to the bottom ash silo to be recycled after going through a submerged  rag chain conveyor or dry ash extraction conveyor.

Ash Water & Slurry System

 Fly Ash Handling System

Air pressure from the blower or air compressor is used to transport ash to the ash silo via appropriately sized pipes.
