Well, coal loaded off the Corbin [KY] Divison Goes to Plant Bowen, in several grades, <br />according to So Content, burned about 107t in about a minute. The flyash is pumped in slurry across the road to a settling pond, where tractor shovels pile the material and load it dry into open dump trailers, pulled by the big road sleeper tractors [longnose Pete.'s KW's Freightliners and such]. The loads are covered or "tarped" the plant also stores flyash in verticle tanks to top load dry bulk tankers, as afore mentioned. The people at Quikrete of Florida use to tell me that it might do o.k. with asphalt, but not with Portland type cement. Cement mix goes: enough aggragate to fill the void, enough D.O.T. builder sand to fill the space between the rocks, enough Portland to fill what space is left. If the Sand must meet specs, [D.O.T.] where would flyash fit in?
