UCC and Dry Ash

Like most industries, even the power generation industry produces waste, in this case it’s ash.  Therefore the power generation industry needs a solution for ash handling.  What does an ash producing industry do with this accumulated ash and how does it get rid of it?   And, how it can be done cost-effective way that does not damage the environment.   

United Conveyor Corporation silo unloading systems are designed to handle this operation in either a dry or damp condition.  The ash is transferred to trucks or to rail cars and is transferred to sites where it  then can be sold or recycled.  A large piece of equipment called a mixer or unloader is used when adding water to the dry ash making it easier to transfer.  The adding of water also reduces the amount of dust.
