Les cendres de Flyest

A history of being fly.

Avez-vous déjà regardé des aqueducs romains ou le Panthéon de Rome et se demande comment ils peuvent encore s’occuper si bien debout fièrement pendant tant de siècles? The secret is in the volcanic ash the architects used as an ingredient in their cement when building these majestic structures.

Which brings us to modern times. The secret ingredient in today’s best cement comes from fly ash—a coal combustion product composed of particulates that are ejected out of coal-fired boilers and furnaces along with flue gasses. Hence why it is called “fly” ash, as opposed to the coal ash that is left after the burning process that is aptly called bottom ash.

Once upon a time, fly ash was just released into the atmosphere. But now, environmental regulations stipulate that fly ash be removed from the flue gasses before they escape from furnace chimneys, via an electrostatic separation process. The content of the fly ash obviously depends on the makeup of the coal being fired, but the overall composition is extremely beneficial in creating today’s strongest and most reliable cement, among other things.

This where ST Equipment & Technology comes in.

Not only is our proprietary tribolectrostatic separation process extraordinary at capturing fly ash, Il peut encore « tamiser » il bas pour des tailles de particules extrêmement petites pour vous offrir différentes qualités de matériau final. Il s’agit d’une des raisons pourquoi notre division de ciment Pro Ash a été choisie comme fournisseur clé dans la construction du New World Trade Center à New York.
