Fly Ash - Pulverized Fuel Ash For Sustainable Recycling | Pollution Reduction, Eco-friendly Utilization, Resource Recovery

We are praised by our customers for making, exporting and supplying of Fly Ash from Nashik, Maharashtra, India. India is currently producing 140 million tons of ash generated by its existing coal fired power stations. The shortage in the electricity supply to fuel the growth of Indian industries requires more power stations. Coal is readily available in India and most of the planned power stations will be again coal fired. Ash production will raise to 200 million tons/year by 2030. Approximately 80 % of all generated ash is Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA) trapped in electrostatic precipitators to reduce the air pollution. Approximately 20% of all ash is Furnace Bottom Ash (FBA). In 2006 Indian statistics claimed that 50 million tons/year of PFA had not been disposed of but utilized in one way or the other. This means that 90 million tons of ash per year are disposed of into lagoons or on ash heaps. Large areas of arable land are covered with PFA deposits creating environmental pollution.

THE SOLUTION: FOR A SPECIFIC CASE
The Nashik PFA Recycling Project:
In the year 1999 Georg Dirk started to look at India for a PFA recycling project. At that time only around 1 million tons of ash was used in India.
In October 2000 the Maharashtra State Electricity Board signed a contract with DIRK India Private Ltd., for the recycling of all dry PFA from their Nashik Thermal Power Station by converting approximately 75% of the PFA generated at Nashik Thermal Power
