✦ Synopsis
The recovery of high-quality fuel from combustion ash ponds was studied. The pond exploration activities to assess the quantity and quality of unburned C in the active ash disposal sites, and pilot-scale results of C recovery processes that will be used to design the full-scale processing plant, are presented.
The project entails the design, construction and operation of a 50 tph processing facility to recover high-quality fuel and lightweight aggregate from the active ash disposal ponds. Sufficient C will be recovered to conduct a 24-h test burn of the fuel at Coleman Station as well as lightweight aggregate for test marketing. Successful demonstration of this technology will ultimately provide additional high-quality fuel for WKE and revenue from the sale of lightweight aggregate.
Recovery of these products will also provide additional pond disposal volume, thereby extending the useful life of the existing disposal facilities.
