ABOUT our technology
Ash Pond beneficiation
Ash-TEK proudly presents our patented Ponded Ash Beneficiation System (PABS), a groundbreaking approach designed to transform pond waste material into an activated cementitious replacement for concrete. Our innovative process leverages industry-proven technology, which has been modified and adapted to meet our unique requirements. At the core of our innovation is the Ponded Ash Beneficiation System, a modular solution, with each unit capable of producing over 100,000 metric tons of fly ash annually. The Ponded Ash Beneficiation System can process ash with almost any combination of bottom ash inclusions, Loss of Ignition (LOI), moisture, hydrocarbons, ammonia, and significant particle size variations.
Ash-TEK’s patented system stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the transformation of inert materials into high-quality, activated components for the construction industry. Experience the future of fly ash processing with our cutting-edge PABS system.
Our PABS system is designed with flexibility in mind. Each modular unit is capable of operation within an area approximately the size of a football field. What sets us apart is the system’s portability; it can be efficiently transported to another site as needed.

WORKING PROCESS
How To Get Better Results
Ash-TEK redefines ash pond remediation. Minimize your carbon footprint.
Step
01
DRYING
Wet ash undergoes a crucial drying phase in a large industrial dryer. This initial step is essential for preparing the material for subsequent handling and processing.
Step
02
Classifying
Through a combination of air and mechanical classification systems, our process efficiently separates fine, coarse, and bottom ash, ensuring precision in material handling.
Step
03
Fracturing
We utilize an innovative system that employs a unique combination of pressure, vortex boundary layer differentials, and acoustic forces to fracture and shear the coarse fraction of the ash. This process not only reduces particle sizes but also exposes oxidative surfaces that have been sheltered in ponds for an extended period. The resulting angular shape of the particles enhances reactivity and strength activity.
Step
04
carbon reduction
In this critical step, carbon in the material is sublimated, contaminants like heavy metals are removed, and oxidized surfaces are re-activated. This ensures the final product meets the highest quality standards.
