ASH HANDLING

SYSTEM
1. Definition
The system that handle residue ( ash ) caused by
coal combustion inside boiler and transport it to the
Ash Disposal. Generally, this system divided into 2
section, there are :

a. Fly Ash System


b. Bottom Ash System
> Fly Ash Handling System : This mean the system that
handle ash caused coal combustion which is it shaped
like dust and it involved by the suction of ID Fan.

> Bottom Ash Handling System : This mean the


system that handle ash caused coal combustion which
is it stick and slagged on boiler wall, usually it will
fall itself caused by gravitation and its weight and
sometime it will cleaned by Soot Blowing and also for
handle material that rejected by pulverizing process.
FLY ASH HANDLING

Our Power Plant use the new system for this section both Fly ash
and Bottom Ash System. Especially for Fly Ash System, we have
Multidac System and Nuva Feeder System

Multidac will handle the ash that coming from ESP


hopper and transport it to Fly Ash Bin and Nuva Feeder
handle the ash that coming from Gas Air Heater hopper.
Both of them use the same compressor for conveying
ash to Fly ash Bin, but for Multidac also use Fluidizing
Blower with heater to prevent the ash plugged in ESP
hopper.
There are some steps for conveying ash in Multidac and Nuva Feeder system,
there are :
> Initial Purging : This is to ensure the line that would be conveyed is clean and
ready for conveying process.
> Filling (for Multidac) and Dumping (for Nuva Feeder) : This mean collecting
ash from its hopper based by timer and by level switch for stop this process.
> Conveying : Transport the ash from Multidac or Nuva Feeder to Fly ash Bin
using Transport Air Compressor

> Final Purging : This is to ensure that the line is clean and ready for
conveying for the next row.
> Clean out : This is for cleaning the lines for prevent the as inside pipe line to
build up. This mode operated only when conveying both Multidac and Nuva
Feeder are finish ( dwell time ) or Normal Stop.
