Allen-Sherman-Hoff Announces Basin Electric Selects Latest Bottom-Ash Technology.Dry System Will Provide Environmental, Operational Benefits LANCASTER, Ohio Lancaster is a city in Fairfield County, Ohio, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 35,335. It is located near the Hocking River, approximately 33 miles (53 km) southeast of Columbus, Ohio. -- Basin Electric Power Cooperative Basin Electric Power Cooperative is a wholesale electric generation and transmission cooperative based in North Dakota that provides electricity to 2 million customers in nine U.S. states. has chosen Allen-Sherman-Hoff (A-S-H), a Diamond Power International, Inc. company, to supply a completely dry, bottom-ash handling system - the latest technology for this type of ash removal.

The MAC[TM] System (Magaldi Ash Cooler) is a unique bottom-ash extraction technology that, unlike conventional methods, requires no water to cool or convey the ash. This makes the system an ideal choice for plants, like the Dry Fork Generating Station, located in water-constrained areas. The MAC System is provided in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. by Allen-Sherman-Hoff under exclusive license from Magaldi Power S.p.A. of Salerno, Italy, the developer of the technology. "We are pleased to be working with Basin Electric, Sargent & Lundy and Babcock & Wilcox for this important project," said Stephen Scott Stephen Scott (b. Corvallis, Oregon, 1944) is an American composer best known for his development of the bowed piano, which involves a grand piano being played by an ensemble of ten musicians who utilize lengths of horsehair, nylon filament, and other utensils to bow the strings of , General Manager of A-S-H Engineered Systems. "With 88 systems installed worldwide and an additional seven on order, the MAC System has become the technology of choice for a significant portion of the latest generation of new coal-based power stations and an increasing number of retrofits.

It is a finely ground powder made by burning and grinding a limestone mixed with clay or shale. Its inventor, Joseph Aspdin (1799–1855), patented the process in 1824, naming the material for its resemblance to the substitute." The new plant will be fueled by Powder River Basin The Powder River Basin is a region in southeast Montana and northeast Wyoming about 120 miles east to west and 200 miles north to south known for its coal deposits. It is both a topographic drainage and geologic structural basin. (PRB PRB Pharmaceutical Resources Branch ) coal, which has a tendency to be a heavy slagging fuel. That means that any bottom-ash handling system must be built ruggedly enough that it can withstand impacts from slag accumulations without interrupting operations. This reliability is why the MAC System was the clear choice for this application. Mr. Scott added, "As part of its efforts to incorporate advanced environmental controls at the plant, Basin Electric is leading the way with its choice of dry, bottom-ash handling technology."
