ASH UTILIZATION.
Fly ash is a byproduct of power generation with coal. Sustainable ash utilization is
one of the key concerns at HPGCL. Every plant of HPGCL has its Ash Handling Division that
strives to derive maximum usage from the vast quantities of ash produced at its power stations.
The ash is now being looked at as a commodity that could generate wealth for the company in
the long run. This division handles ash utilization activities. Fly ash generated at HPGCL stations
is ideal for use in the manufacture of cement, concrete, concrete products, cellular concrete
products, bricks/blocks/ tiles etc. Further HPGCL is committed to comply with the latest
guidelines/notification issued by MOEF&CC regarding ash utilization.
To facilitate easy availability of dry fly ash to end users, dry fly ash evacuation and
safe storage system have been set up at power stations. HPGCL also offers all types of ash
along with infrastructure facilities enabling evacuation of ash free of cost, wherever feasible.
