High-technology energy-efficient composite material made from waste of thermal power plants

Ash from thermal power plants as secondary raw material.

The basic characteristic of thermal power plants in the Republic of Serbia is that they use low-grade brown coal (lignite) as a fuel. Depending on the location of coal mines, lignite may have different properties such as heating value, moisture, and mineral content, resulting in different residue upon combustion. Because of several million tonnes of ash and slag generated every year, their gran...

Making power plants energy efficient

Energy efficiency is ABB's business. So too is raising productivity for industry and increasing power plant output, as well as ensuring that facilities and processes operate reliably and the power grids they are connected to are stable. These four themes – energy efficiency, productivity, reliability and stability – are intimately connected. When ABB improves the energy efficiency of a power pl...

Waste-to-energy plants based on gasification are high-efficiency power plants

The enormous increase in the quantum and diversity of waste materials and their potentially harmful effects on the general environment and public health, have led to an increasing awareness about an urgent need to adopt scientific methods for safe disposal of wastes. While there is an obvious need to minimize the generation of wastes and to reuse and recycle them, the technologies for recovery ...
