Dear Sir

pipe conveyor can successfully be used for Dry Ash Transportation in side power plants from ash silo to dump pond.

Unfortunately most of ash handling plant suppliers are not dealing with belt conveyors .in my opinion pipe conveyor can replace dense phase system as power consumption will be much less and dry transportation will be feasible

In case of pipe conveyor cost will be much less than other conventional pumping or dense phase system and there will be no restriction of length of transportation

More over wet slurry dumping causes underground water pollution same is not applicable for dry ash dumping

This needs lot of discussions as this will be a new area for pipe conveyors
