Kirkland Lake Power Wood Ash There are two types of wood ash generated at the wood fired cogeneration power plant. Bottom or boiler ash is the ash produced by furnaces after combustion; it is coarse and has very high carbon content. The fly ash is captured in the plants multi clones and stacks and is finer in texture with finer carbon particles. The fly ash and the bottom ash are mixed via screw conveyers at the plant and quenched with water before it is delivered to WAI's disposal site where the mixed wood ash is stockpiled, uncontaminated with any other materials ready for recycling. Wood Ash Industries mixed wood ash is highly alkaline with a pH of approximately 11.5, very high in carbon content and can potentially be substituted for many carbon applications as well used in agricultural land applications. There is a relatively high BTU content in the mixed ash which will facilitate wood ash reburning in smeltering and similar applications that require carbon injection.  HIGH CARBON WOOD ASH The site is a fully licensed under Ontario Ministry of Environment regulations as a land fill and transfer site ready to load and transfer wood ash to end users. Wood Ash Industries (WAI) has been granted permission from the Ontario Ministry of Environment to bulk land apply the site's mixed wood ash on to agricultural farmlands as a soil amendment. The wood ash acts as a lime substitute for upward pH adjustment and has additional fertilizer values. Wood ash may also be sold as a bagged product under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements as a soil amendment as well. It may be sold in smaller bagged quantities or in bulk bagging using super sacs. Presently the high carbon wood ash is available in bulk amounts only within Canada and the United States. High carbon wood ash is available in its present raw state, screened as per specifications and or powdered (crushed) as per end user need and specifications. WAI is strategically located close to highway and rail access and can ship in bulk within Canada and the United States. The high carbon wood ash is sold as a raw material under the classification of a soil amendment from the disposal site. WAI is presently seeking end users and strategic partnerships with a view to distribute high carbon wood ash in bulk and smaller bagged quantities as a value added product. WAI encourages potential investors to contact us for future product development. RELATED REPORTS: *Soil acidity and liming... -Clemson University |
