• Patented Submerged Grind Conveyor technology is an innovative solution for bottom ash removal and reduced water use

Submerged Grind Conveyor (SGC) ash handling systems and associated equipment. The ash handling systems will help the plant owner reduce water use and reliance on ash storage ponds.” data-reactid=”22″>B&W was awarded a contract for more than $8 million to design and supply two Submerged Grind Conveyor (SGC) ash handling systems and associated equipment. The ash handling systems will help the plant owner reduce water use and reliance on ash storage ponds.

“B&W Environmental’s SGC technology is a unique, cost-effective solution that helps customers to meet U.S. effluent limitation guidelines (ELG) and combustion residuals (CCR) requirements with a simplified and cost-effective design,” said B&W Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan. “We’re looking forward to providing our customer with the solutions they need to keep their plants running cleanly and safely.”

Engineering and manufacturing is underway in B&W’s offices in Akron and Lancaster, Ohio, and in Exton, Pa.

B&W Environmental’s SGC system is smaller and lighter than conventional submerged chain conveyors because it receives bottom ash after crushing by clinker grinders and is not subject to heavy loads. Its flexible design can be adapted between a plant’s boiler and outside the boiler house. No ash transport water is used, which meets the ELG requirement for closed loop or zero discharge of water.
