The Italian utility Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica (ENEL) is committed to improving operations without ignoring environmental issues. One example of this policy described here is the recent installation of dry bottom ash extraction technology at its Pietrafitta, Bastardo, Monfalcone and Fusina power plants. The MAC (Magaldi Ash Conveyor) system, developed by Magaldi Industries and the Italian boiler manufacturer Ansaldo, continuously removes ash from beneath the boiler via a stainless steel conveyor belt. Because the system operates without water for cooling or conveying ash, it drastically reduces the amount of contaminated water the plant discharges to the environment.
