Planning of experimentation to model the pneumatic conveying capability of dry ash

Abstract

Dry ash pneumatic conveying is becoming more demanding in various fly ash generating and as well as utilizing industries. Dry ash thus produced generally micro sized fine particles mainly comprising of aluminum silicates, possesses both ceramic and pozzolanic properties. A large number of technologies have been developed for gainful utilization and safe management of Dry ash under the concerted efforts made by Fly Ash Mission/Fly Ash Unit under Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India since 1994. As a result, fly ash earlier considered to be “hazardous industrial waste” material, has now acquired the status of useful and saleable commodity. Due to recent development in hardware and software required for such system which requires minimum air for conveying in turn power, with reduced pressure and velocity, reduced pipe line configuration and wear rate which increased work place environmental friendly and due to increased workplace safety, this added advantages of Dry ash pneumatic conveying mostly used in power generating unit, cement manufacturing, ready mix concrete manufacturing, EPC Fly ash panel.
