Pneumatic Ash Handling Systems: A Comprehensive Overview

Delta Ducon Power Group is a leading provider of innovative solutions for the modern power and generation industry. With a century of expertise and a commitment to environmental responsibility, Delta Ducon offers cutting-edge technologies to help the power and utility industry thrive in a sustainable future.

One of the key areas where Delta Ducon excels is in the design and manufacture of pneumatic ash handling systems. These systems are used to efficiently and safely transport ash generated during the combustion process in power plants.




Types of Pneumatic Ash Handling Systems

Delta Ducon offers two main types of pneumatic ash handling systems:

  1. Vacuum Systems: These systems use a vacuum blower to create a negative pressure gradient, drawing ash from various collection points and transporting it to a central storage silo.

  2. Pressure Systems: These systems utilize a pressure blower to generate a positive pressure gradient, propelling ash through the pipeline to its destination.


Components of a Pneumatic Ash Handling System


A typical pneumatic ash handling system comprises several key components:

  • Ash Silos: These large storage containers are used to store the collected ash before it is disposed of or repurposed.

  • Collector/Filters: These units separate the ash from the conveying air stream, ensuring clean air is released into the atmosphere.

  • Line Isolation Valves: These valves are used to isolate different sections of the pipeline for maintenance or repair purposes.

  • Material Handling Valves: These valves control the flow of ash through the system, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.

  • Pugmill: This equipment is used to mix and condition the ash before it is transported, improving its flowability and reducing dust.


Benefits of Pneumatic Ash Handling Systems


Pneumatic ash handling systems offer several advantages over traditional mechanical conveying methods:

  • Reduced Dust: Enclosed systems minimize dust emissions, improving air quality and reducing environmental impact.

  • Lower Maintenance: Fewer moving parts result in lower maintenance requirements and reduced downtime.

  • Improved Safety: Automated systems reduce the risk of accidents and injuries associated with manual ash handling.

  • Increased Efficiency: Pneumatic systems can handle large volumes of ash efficiently, improving overall plant productivity.




Delta Ducon's expertise in pneumatic ash handling systems, combined with their commitment to innovation and sustainability, makes them a trusted partner for the power and utility industry. Their advanced solutions help power plants operate more efficiently and responsibly, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing productivity.
