A cluster for the processing of ash and slag materials is being created in the Omsk region

The Association for the Promotion of Industrial Cluster Development includes enterprises of the construction industry and leading Omsk universities.

On the eve of the regional Ministry of Construction, a constituent meeting of the Association for the Promotion of the Industrial Cluster for the Use and Processing of ash and slag materials was held. The initiator of the new formation was the company «Osnova Holding» with subsidiaries. The association also includes a number of Omsk companies for the production of building materials, as well as leading Omsk universities.

Branch ministries of the Omsk region - Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Natural Resources - support creation «the ash and slag cluster», This will make it possible to efficiently use the resources of the heat and power complex for recycling, reduce the area of the Omsk CHPP ash dumps, and produce efficient and inexpensive building materials for road rehabilitation and capital construction.

Sergey Koshelev, Head of the Construction Department of the Regional Ministry of Construction, said that projects for the efficient use of ash and slag, which are no longer commonly referred to as waste, namely materials, were being implemented in the Omsk region more than ten years ago.

«We have successfully operated a Porous materials plant, factories «Warm brick» and «Omsk cement» and others. Ash and slag materials are used in the road sector, for example, during the construction of the Western Bypass section. Ash and slag have good technical characteristics, do not suffer from temperature fluctuations and allow saving at the expense of cost.», - Sergey Koshelev reported.

By joining the Association, representatives of the construction industry and science enterprises will be able to quickly and efficiently prepare a package of documents for registering an industrial cluster and entering it into the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, as well as attracting federal funds for the implementation of joint projects.

The initiators of the cluster's creation declare the demand for and prospects for the use of ash and slag materials beyond the Urals, where many thermal power plants run on coal. The reserves of ash and slag in Siberia and the Far East are large. In the Omsk region alone, the volume of ash dumps is about 70 million tons and is replenished annually by 1,5 million tons. These resources can be effectively used within the framework of large-scale projects implemented jointly by the participants of the new cluster.
