PSEB workshop on fly ash in April

The workshop would be attended by representatives of over a dozen thermal power houses in the northern India, besides end-users of fly ash and building companies.

Bansal disclosed that each of the four units at the plant release an average of 1,000 tonne fly ash every day. However, not more than 800 tonne ash is procured by Gujarat Ambuja and ACC cement companies each day, he said.

Earlier, Bansal accompanied a three-member team from Germany to the GGSSTP dyke to chalk out modalities for the proposed workshop. In the absence of sufficient land to dispose of fly ash, the workshop would also inform builders of its utilities. The ash deposit was not posing any threat to the environment, he said.
