SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TREATING FLY ASH

摘要

A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TREATING FLY ASH (10) WITH A TREATING FLUID (20, 22) BY EVENLY DISPERSING A TREATING FLUID INTO A FLOWING STREAM OF FLY ASH. BY DISPERSING THE TREATING FLUID (20, 22) INTO THE FLY ASH (10) AS THE FLY ASH IS FLOWING, THE METHOD TAKES ADVANTAGE O NATURAL MIXING AND PARTICLE MOTION THAT OCCURS DURING FLOW OF THE BULK SOLID. THE APPLICATION OF TREATING FLUID (20, 22) IS ADVANTAGEOUSLY CONTROLLED BY AN AUTOMATED CONTROLLER (100) THAT HAS INPUTS AND OUTPUTS THAT ALLOW THE CONTROLLER TO ADJUST FLOW RATE OF THE TREATING FLUID IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH A MEASURED FLOW RATE OF THE FLY ASH (10).
