Businesses in India are facing major challenges in handling and transporting about 220 million tons of fly ash generated every year while balancing cost, environment, and health.High disposal cost and a large area of land required for the disposal of ash demand for the high utilization. Currently,
generated fly ash from Power plants is transported massively using jumbo bags through open railway wagons or bottom discharge wagons which has its own limitations.

Recently, NTPC has been the first one to initiate a step towards fly ash transportation using Bogey Tank for Alumina Powder (BTAP) rakes, which are leak proof wagons with special air fluidizing system technology, provided by our technology collaborator, STAG AG,Switzerland.

To pneumatically unload fly ash from BTAP Wagons, Save Eco Energy in partnership with STAG AG, has engineered, supplied, installed & commissioned India’s first of its kind unloading station at Reliance Cement Plant, Maihar, Madhya Pradesh, India. Added advantage of the project is that the same BTAP wagons can carry cement on their return, further reducing the cost of operations of transportation of two different products.

BTAP Wagons are designed as a horizontal pressure/storage vessel with fluidizing arrangement.

A typical BTAP rake with 51 wagons has a cumulative volumetric capacity of 3060 MT which gets unloaded pneumatically within 5 hours (Approx) directly to the storage silos built at site.
