ASHTRACK App to track fly ash enabling the user to get it directly from thermal plant

New Delhi, March 15: To establish a link between fly ash users and power plants executives and to use of 100% ash utilization by all coal-based thermal power plants, the mobile-based application “ASHTRACK” and a web portal for monitoring of fly ash generation has been launched.

Fly ash is the end product of combustion during the process of power generation in the coal-based thermal power plants. Fly ash is proven resource material for many applications of construction industries and is used in the manufacturing of Portland Cement, road embankment construction, bricks, blocks, tiles manufacturing and low lying area development, etc.

Know about ASHTRACK App:

The app shows coal-based power plants situated within a radius of 100 km and 300 km from a given location. It will allow the user to select power station from where he wants to take fly ash. It will also show ash availability, distance from user’s location.

It will help power plants to see the location of prospective fly ash users surrounding it like – cement plants, NHAI, contractors of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) projects, brick producers, etc. The app will give plant wise, utility wise and state wise fly ash utilization status in the country and also details of ash generation and utilization in real time.

The ASHTRACK App will allow effective monitoring and reviewing for increasing fly ash utilization. It will help in protecting the environment in terms of reduction in fugitive emissions, saving of precious topsoil and conservation of land for sustainable development.
