Due to growing concerns about water scarcity and ever-tightening environmental regulations, coal-fired power plants are switching to dry ash handling technologies. With 200+ dry bottom ash handling systems installed worldwide since 1985 for both new boilers and retrofits, Magaldi is uniquely placed in the dry ash handling field to demonstrate the benefits of its MAC® system over wet ash handling systems. Unlike conventional wet bottom ash handling (WBAH) systems, responsible for huge water consumption, high maintenance costs, environmental issues, and negative effects on boiler operation, the MAC® (dry bottom ash handling) system delivers a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly operation thanks to the unique combination of the dry cooling process and the dependable Superbelt® conveying technology. The use of the dry bottom ash handling (MAC®) system leads to significant water savings. Since no water is used for ash cooling and conveying, all ancillary equipment/systems (pumps, piping, dewatering bins, water treatment plants, etc.), which are mandatory for WBAH systems, are no longer necessary, and therefore all associated O&M costs are eliminated.
