    Ash is produced during coal combustion in power plants, making up 10-20% of the total coal burned. It is desirable to quench the ash to reduce its temperature and corrosive effects before handling. There are three main types of ash handling systems: hydraulic, which uses water; water jetting; and pneumatic, which uses an upstream blower to create an air flow that conveys ash through a pipeline and deposits it in a silo, with the air eventually vented through a filter.

    POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION & UTILIZATION

    ASH HANDLING SYSTEM


    Ash is produced as a byproduct of combustion. Ash produced in about 10 20% of total coal burnt in the furnace.

    It is desirable to quench the ash before handling. Quench reduces the temperature of ash. It reduces the corrosive action of ash.

    TYPES OF ASH HANDLING SYSTEM

    Hydraulic ash handling system Water Jetting Pneumatic system

    HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

    WATER JETTING

    PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

    Upstream mechanical blower creates flow of conveying air. Ash is transferred from collection hoppers to conveying pipeline using double dump gate airlock valves. Ash is deposited in a silo mounted target box. Finally, the ash conveying air is exhausted to the atmosphere through a silo vent filter.
