New Utilization at Electric Generating Plant
Fly Ash, Once Wasted,
Used in Homes, Gardens
Very shortly, the bricks you
use in building your home bar
becue pit may have had part
of their origin at a Georgia
Power Company steam-electric
generating plant.
The same may be said for
the concrete blocks used in
building homes, fertilizer for
those home-grown tomatoes,
and for the asphalt and con
crete paving in front of your
home.
The reason: fly ash, a by.
product once considered a li
ability in producing electricity,
soon will be collected at the
plant site for processing into
a valuable substance. The util
ity this week announced a con
tract with Dayton Fly Ash
Company, a division of Ameri
can Metal Climax, to set up
collecting and procesing facil
ities at Georgia Power’s Plant
Jack McDonough, located on
the Chattahoochee River 13
miles north of Atlanta.
Millions Spent
Georgia Power Company,
since it first began operating
large steam-electric generating
plants in the mid-19305, has
spent millions of dollars instal
ling special precipitators to
prevent the minute particles of
fly ash, a residue from burn
ing coal, from being released
into the air. As equipment has
become refined, the company
has utilized it to become in
creasingly successful in an ex
tensive battle for cleaner air.
As a result, however, the
utility at bach of its steam
generating plants has found
itself the unwilling possessor
of ever-growing mountains of
fly ash. In earlier years, com
panies similar to Dayton Fly
Ash have made sporadic pur
chases, but nothing like those
anticipated by the Dayton
company.
According to Robert W. Sty
ron, project engineer for Day
ton, fly ash can be used as an
economical admixture in con
crete and concrete products, in
bricks, asphalts and fertilizers,
and as a lightweight aggregate
and a soil stablizer.
Thousands of Tons

BETTER BUSINESS
BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE THE TIME?
Most business's come to hard
times because they stop doing
the very things which made
them successful in the first
place. This old idea should have
special new meaning under to
day's business and employment
conditions.
The beginning of almost any
successful company usually
shows the top men went after
business and worked smarter
than the competition.
Reduction of operating costs
has been the preoccupation for
so long that it's time to consider
the final effect. Tighten your
belt enough and you'll cut off
circulation.
Business belt-tightening has
the added fault of keeping the
best men at a desk when they
should be out beating the
bushes to create new income
needed to maintain the payroll.
To get business going again,
we need to paraphrase an old
song, "Brother, Can You Spare
The Time?"
The executive shortage in the
last decade developed new
ideas and tools to amplify the
time of our most capable men.
Now that the economy is
rugged, some of these tools and
ideas are beginning to make
more sense.
Since nothing much happens
in business until someone sells
something, within the past few
weeks a number of major firms
have formed teams of top man
agement specialists and sent
them out to show customers
how to use their products to
greater advantage.
These management teams
range in size from two or three
to 10 men. The boss himself, his
finance, marketing, and manu
facturing vice presidents are in
thousands of tons of quality
fly ash annually at the plant,”
he said. “We plan to have the
equipment installed and begin
operations by the first of
November.
“The principal use for fly
ash is as a partial replace
ment for portland cement in
concrete,” Mr. Styron said. “It
is generally considered to be
applicable as a 20- to 25-
percent replacement for ce
ment in nearly all concrete
mixes.”
He explained that not only
was the residue less than the
price of cement, but it also
improved the quality of the
concrete. It increases ultimate
compressive strength, improves
workability, finish and appear
ance, reduces harm from freez
ing and expansion and in
creases the life of concrete
products, he said.
The most valuable charac
teristic of fly ash is that it re
acts with free lime liberated
in the hydration of cement to
produce a denser mix and a
more water-tight product, ac
cording to the project engi
neer.
Used in Construction
The residue has been used
on three Interstate highways
in Georgia. Georgia Power has
made use of it in construction
of its Plant Hammond near
Rome, Plant Harllee Branch
near Eatonton and Milledge
ville and the Edwin I. Hatch
Nuclear Plant near Baxley. It
is being used in construction
of the company’s Etowah plant
near Cartersville and Rock
mart.
The most recent develop
ment in the use of fly ash is
in the production of bricks.
West Virginia University’s
Coal Research Bureau, under
contract with the Office of
Coal Research, United States
Department of the Interior, re
leased a report showing sav
ings of up to 33 percent in
brick production.
The large-scale use of fly
ash in manufactured products
indicates that once again sci
ence has found a practical ap
plication for a substance once
considered worthless.
by w. post
the field applying the firms best
muscle directly on the problems
of the firm and its customers.
When they identify a new pros
pect they can tell the product
story like it really is.
Should this become a trend
it could hypo current economic
conditions and create new ways
of doing business for the 70‘s.
To get the most effective
work out of the management
teams, some firms have made
new use of the tools at hand as
a means to have their cake and
eat it too. For example, they
lease business jets, or other
business planes, at less dollar
cost than transporting the team
by airlines.
They have their cake because
the team can fly 2000 miles,
work a full day and be back in
the office the next day. Leasing,
an idea of the 60's means the
company can iqve the 560 mpl
jets and not tie-up cash needed
for day-to-day opeiatinn ex
penses.And, next to time,
money seems to be the hardest
item to come by.
One type of business jet, the
Sabreliner, seats up to 12 men
and can operate at airline
standards into almost 16 times
as many airports as the airlines.
So the effect of such a team
effort can reach any comer of
the nation fast.
There are many such tools
and ideas which only need to
be put to work by men with the
energy and imagination to help
to get our economy up to speed
again.
We all have the same ques
tion to face: "Brother, can you
spare the time?" to create new
success in your business when
times are tough. It seems a bet
ter question to answer than,
"Can you spare a dime?"
