Dry Ash Collection at Coal Fired Power Plants and Potential for WTE Facilities

Remarkable environmental and economical benefits derive from an innovative technology for dry bottom ash removal from coal-fired power plants that may be applied at WTE facilities combusting unprocessed MSW or RDF. This paper describes the MAC system technology that offers a very reliable and broadly proved solution for dry bottom ash collection and handling. Up to now the MAC system has been installed widely and successfully at coal-fired power stations. However, because of the flexibility of the MAC dry ash collector and the wide experience of MAGALDI GROUP in conveying solid bulk materials, this system is ready to be tested for the collection of bottom ash from WTE boilers.
