Recirculation System

Recirculation Hydraulic Systems

Overview

The closed-loop Recirculation System converts a wet sluice system into a “dry” ash system without change to the existing bottom ash hoppers. This system reuses the conveying water and only requires a small amount of make-up water. A complete recirculation system replaces the ash pond with dewatering bins which separates the water and ash, a clarifying (settling) tank and surge (storage) tank. The ash is unloaded from the dewatering bins into transport vehicles for disposal. The recirculation system is ideal when water supplies are available and minimal outage time is required to make the conversion.
