In these days of tight profit margins for operating power plants, it is more and more important for coal-fired power plant owners to find innovative solutions for waste disposal. What if you could make a useful product out of plant waste? Better yet, what if someone paid you money for it. Well, that's exactly what's happening with fly ash fly ash n. Fine particulate ash sent up by the combustion of a solid fuel, such as coal, and discharged as an airborne emission or recovered as a byproduct for various commercial uses. Noun 1. waste byproducts at many power plants across the country. Fly ash is a byproduct by·prod·uct or by-prod·uct n. 1. Something produced in the making of something else. 2. A secondary result; a side effect. Noun 1. of the combustion of coal in a boiler boiler, device for generating steam. It consists of two principal parts: the furnace, which provides heat, usually by burning a fuel, and the boiler proper, a device in which the heat changes water into steam. . It is traditionally disposed of in onsite or offsite landfills at a significant cost to coal-fired power generators. However, several innovative uses for fly ash have been developed that offer cost saving alternatives to traditional disposal of fly ash waste product.
