Specializing in cranes and hoist systems for a good range of industries, Liftlink Technologies Pvt. Ltd is proud to supply reliable, high-quality material handling solutions — from steel and energy to pulp and paper, and waste management.
We also offer high-performance ash handling solutions for power plants, coal combustion, and wood processing applications. The success of ash handling systems depends on the standard of the hoists used, which must provide unmatched reliability, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
The combustion of wood, coal, and even grain creates ash. Ash handling systems are specifically designed to manage the gathering, conveying, storage, and loading of ash residue, much of which is that the result of solid fuel combustion processes in power plants. the foremost common sorts of ash are as follows:
- Bottom ash — Heavier, coarse ash material
- Fly ash — Very fine ash that accounts for many of the fabric managed by ash handling systems
- Ash clinkers — The ash that sticks to a coal furnace’s hot sidewalls
Indian Standard regulations state that ash handling systems are mandatory surely industries and kinds of producing facilities. If handled incorrectly, ash can pose dangers to both the environment and general public health.
Coal ash contains mercury, arsenic, and cadmium; these contaminants are dangerous and may pollute spring water, beverage, natural and manmade waterways, and therefore the air we breathe.
Because wood and coal combustion produce differing types of residual ash through energy and warmth generation, these processes — especially common in power plants — require reliable ash handling systems to manage day-to-day operations.
For example, thermal power plants produce coal combustion residuals (CCRs). ready to be generated both wet and dry, this sort of ash must be managed through disposal in off-site or on-site plant landfills or surface impoundments. Highly toxic to water quality, CCRs are strictly regulated by the Indian Standards.
Coal ash is additionally produced during the commercial manufacture of concrete and composite wallboard. Whether the ash is going to be repurposed or disposed of, plants must be fully equipped with collection systems for ash and mud. These systems require periodic emptying for optimal performance.
Wood combustion, meanwhile, produces extremely lightweight ash, carrying but 1% of the first wood’s weight. After wood fuel is burned, combustion chambers inevitably hold a number of this ash, whether from wood, processed wood products, or wood pellets. Containing extremely low levels of sulfur and heavy metals, this ash isn’t as harmful to the environment as CCRs.
