Fly Ash Sales Offers an Opportunity to Turn a Risk into a Revenue Stream

Beneficial ash use represents an opportunity to offset a disposal cost with revenue generation.  There is greater and greater demand for fly ash by marketers, and some states are passing bills that are adding beneficial use components.  While new regulations are targeting un-encapsulated fly ash in ash ponds, they are expected to target disposal in landfills next, which poses a risk to coal-fired power plants.

Precipitator Collection and Fly Ash Sales

Precipitator collection is key to collecting highly salable fly ash.  However, in most plants the precipitator is not the primary pollution control device.  Many customers assume this means that the precipitator needs to be restored to it’s original condition.  That level of collection efficiency usually has diminished financial returns.  With financial and precipitator performance modeling, we can help you can find the ideal precipitator collection efficiency to maximize costs and revenue.  With our experiential knowledge of precipitator improvements, we can also get you to that collection efficiency by planning the most cost-effective path forward.
