Hmm? My job takes me into coal fired power plants plenty. The semis roll out of them non-stop carrying out the flyash from the burned coal. It ends up down the road where they make redi-mix. I"ve never asked what they use it for, and always guessed that they mixed it in as some sort of hardener. Listening to you, maybe they use it as a cleaning agent. I don"t know. I"ll tell you what, this other guy and I had to fish a cable down an 1.25" conduit out at one of them once that had years of flyash mixed in with pigeon poop down in it. There aint no fish tape strong enough, and we didn"t have a 4 story long drill bit. We finally gave up and cut the pipe out, and 4 stories worth of new pipe later, easy pulling (dropping). Flyash and pigeon poop makes for some strong stuff. No joke.
