Understanding Fly Ash & Pozzolan Storage Requirements

On a modern jobsite, fly ash and pozzolan are high-value commodities that impact mix design and your operations. These products can cement up with the slightest moisture or become airborne with minimal disturbance. Getting them from the transport truck into your process reliably, day after day, is where most operations experience difficulties. It demands a storage solution built specifically for their behavior.

That's why the engineering of a dedicated fly ash storage silo can't be an afterthought. The system needs to be built for the material, not just the space. Most use bolted or welded steel with hoppers designed to keep material moving. Surfaces are coated to resist corrosion and abrasion. Discharge systems are engineered to prevent bridging or uneven flow. Structural design accounts for heavy bulk loads, so the tank stays safe and stable for years.

Beyond the tank itself, you need a system that integrates smoothly with your entire plant. We design for a full dust-collection hookup right out of the gate and ensure the structure meets your local seismic and wind load specs. Every connection point is engineered for compatibility with standard pneumatic conveying lines. In the end, you get a low-maintenance piece of process equipment that holds up for the long haul, keeping your material dry, contained, and ready to go.

Advantages of Our Fly Ash & Pozzolan Storage Systems

Our storage systems are engineered from the ground up for one purpose: to provide unmatched dry bulk efficiency, predictable material flow, and a lifespan that handles decades of tough service.

Engineered Flow Control to Prevent Bridging

Hopper slopes are calculated for mass flow, and discharge is often assisted with integrated fluidizing systems. This combination ensures the fly ash silo empties completely, on demand, eliminating the bridging and rat-holing that cause costly downtime.

Abrasion-Resistant Coatings

Our interior linings are selected and applied based on your specific material's abrasion index and flow characteristics, directly protecting the steel to dramatically extend service life and reduce long-term maintenance.

Custom Hopper and Cone Designs

We tailor hopper slopes and cone angles for each material and application. From fluidized fly ash to pozzolan, the design ensures predictable flow and safe discharge, matching plant needs precisely.

Structural Strength for Heavy Bulk Loads

Every design starts with your site's dead loads, live loads, and environmental factors like seismic and wind ratings. Our structural calculations ensure the tank's integrity under maximum capacity, providing peace of mind.

Dust-Tight, Moisture-Resistant Construction

Tarsco designs incorporate gasketed bolting systems and integrate seamlessly with dust collection equipment, while exterior coatings and details prevent moisture ingress, keeping your material dry and contained.

Modular Installation with Low Maintenance

Our bolted, modular design enables accelerated on-site assembly, typically reducing erection timelines by nearly 50% compared to field-welded construction. This approach minimizes site disruption and accelerates your operational timeline.
