Fly ash today improves a concrete mix design in most cases because of its effect on heat of hydration. It is not a substitute for sand, but instead replaces some of the cement or compliments it.

Western Coal is a better more consistent ash for the sector needs, but technology has made great strides in improving the consistency of ash produced from coal east of the Mississippi.

The vast majority of concrete manufacturers use fly ash.

Runner,
Some light is starting to shine on the solids part of GTL. Someone asked about the ash and if it was costly to get rid of.
Rich in his tv show showed a few ways where they could sell it
for a small profit. Mixed with cement it is better than sand and the ph of it is really helping the old mine runoff to streams
which are comming back to life. No waste will not be a problem it could be another profit maker.

Hey flyash is and always will be a waste problem regardless of the manner in which it is generated. GTL or electric utilities - it makes no difference, IMO.
