INTERACTIVE MEETING

ON
FLY ASH UTILISATION
 DEFINITION

• Fly ash is the by-product of coal based

Thermal Power Plants.
• It is flying ash emanating from the
ash pulverised coal in Boiler operations.
 CONTENTS OF M.O.E & F.
NOTIFICATION DT:14.09.1999.

• To conserve top soil

• Preventing the dumping of fly ash in Ash
Ponds.
• Restricting the top soil excavation for brick
manufacture with in a radius of 50 Kms.
• Developing building materials such as
bricks & blocks.
 UTILISATION OF FLY ASH BY
THERMAL PLANTS

• Notification insists the TPs to submit

action plan for full utilization of fly ash
with in the period of 9 years from the
Publication of notification.
• Not covered by P.C.Bs directions -
15 years from date of publication.
 UTILISATION OF FLY ASH BY
THERMAL PLANTS

• Providing facilities for ash utilization.

• KTPS/V-Stage has installed 2 Nos. Silos
with a cost of 6.76 Crores of 500T
capacity each.
• Issue of Ash free of cost.
• Loading facility at Ash Pond who are
willing to take Pond Ash.
 MULTI PURPOSE BENEFITS
OF FLY ASH
• Brick Industry
• Cement Industry
• Agriculture sector
• Mine stowing
• Other areas such as Road constructions
and embankments.
• Eco – friendly.
 BRICKS PRODUCTION
BY FAL-G TECHNOLOGY

• It consists Fly Ash -- 60 – 70 %

Lime -- 15 – 20 %
Gypsum -- 5 – 10 %

• The KTPS/V-Stage has commissioned

FAL-G Brick Plant with installed capacity of
10,000 Bricks/Day.
 Advantages

• High quality and durability

• High strength – 85 to 250 Kg/Cm2
• Uniform shape – Less mortar
• Machine made – Pressure moulding.
• No burning - No emissions
• Better insulation.
 Disadvantages of
Conventional bricks
• Uneven quality & less durable.
• Lower strength
• Uneven shape – more mortar
• Hand pressed – uneven strength
• Kiln burning – emissions.
 FLY ASH FOR AGRICULTURE

• Higher yields and improved pest resistance.

• Improves soil texture
• Improves water holding capacity & drainage
• Improves soil aeration.
• Provides macronutrients like K, P, Ca etc.
• Provides micronutrients like Fe, Zn, Cu. Etc.
SREE BHOGESWARA FARMERS CLUB

Approached the Government to supply fly

ash for agriculture purpose.
– Fly ash consists of K, N, P and other 13 useful
elements.
– Improves water retention capacity.
– Improves soil texture.
– Already used for sugar cane, coconut & lemon
with improved yield (10 to 20%)
