Techfil
First Cenosphere processing plant in India
Cenospheres are Pulverised Fuel Ash Particles from coal fired power stations, which will float on the surface of Fly Ash disposal lagoons.
Using a certain technique these “Floaters” are harvested from the lagoon surface. Traditionally these harvested materials had been exported from India for processing to a range of filler products outside India. Only after processing the Floaters become a valuable product.
To keep the main value creation inside India DIRK has erected inside the Fly Ash processing plant at Nashik two buildings housing the storage area for floaters and the processing plant consisting of dryers and state of the art screening machines.
Through direct fire drying, all combustible contamination is eliminated. By screening, the right particle size of the resulting Tecfil product is achieved. Our central laboratories at the Nashik plant (who have Indian Standard certification) supervise the physical and chemical quality of the Tecfil products.
