Company overview
• Vliegasunie B.V.(“VU”) is founded in 1982.
Its original activities concerned the removal and
conversion of by-products (fly ash, bottom ash and FGD
gypsum) into useful products
• Today we offer our clients a full package of marketing,
logistics and administrative services
• Currently fly ash, bottom ash and FGD gypsum are used
in the building and construction sector in products such
as concrete, cement, asphalt, plaster board
• VU is lean organised and employs 12 (7 internal and 5
external) persons. VU closely cooperates with “external”
service providers
Developments
• Certification (CE, Dutch Soil Quality Decree, KOMO,
BENOR, Ü-Zeichen, VLAREMA)
• Dutch implementation equal performance concept
EN450 K=1
• By-product status
• New fly ash terminal SMZ Moerdijk 2012
• New power plant 800MW, Rotterdam COP 2014
• New power plant 2 * 800MW, Eemshaven COP 2015
• Energy Agreement:
– Shut down of 5 Dutch units, within 2015-2017
– Co-combustioning biomass; 2020 target 25 PJ

Estimated coal consumption Dutch power plants (+/- 10%)
Storage capacity and loading facilities PFA
- Geertruidenberg Amer* 4,000 m3 (T+B)
- Amsterdam Hemweg 25,000 m3 (T+B+S)**
- SMZ-terminal 30,000 m3 (T)
- Rotterdam 22,000 m3 (B+S)
- Eemshaven 42,000 m3 (T+B+S)
* excluding a temporary 100,000 tonnes stockpile for conditioned fly ash
** T = trucks; B = inland barges; S = sea going barges/vessels (cement tankers)
Preferred inland transport by self
discharging silo barges (Binnenlloyd)
• Quick and flexible delivery
• Environmental friendly
• Weather independent
• Dust free
• Capacity 350 – 1600 MT
• Segregated compartments, transportation of different products in one trip
• Electronic draught survey
• Loading and unloading from/to silo, silo truck, silo wagon or silo vessel
• Discharge speed up to 450 MT/h, depending on product and circumstances
Fly ash terminal SMZ Moerdijk
• Storage, blending and distribution facility for
EN 450 cat. A fly ash
• Intake by (inland)vessels, and 24/7 distribution
by silo trucks (concrete industry)
• Flexibility to react on quality deviations of PFA
due to the operation of the power plants
Fly ash terminal SMZ Moerdijk (2012)
Power plant GDF Suez Rotterdam(2014)
Loading facilities PFA Rotterdam
• Dust free gravity loading
• Coasters up to 10.000 MT
• Guaranteed loading speed 200 MT/h
• 24/7 SSHINC
Loading of bulk carrier at Rotterdam
Eemshaven power plant Essent/RWE (2015)
Loading facilities PFA Eemshaven
• Dust free gravity loading
• Coasters up to 15.000 MT
• Guaranteed loading speed 200 MT/h
• 24/7 SSHINC
Loading of cement carriers at Eemshaven
Loading of conditioned ash in bulk carrier
Conclusions
- After transition period: high efficient coal fired plants
remaining
- Sufficient high quality fly ash for serving the concrete
and cement markets
- In the near future mainly EN 450 category A
- Future decrease and stabilisation of volumes to be
expected (2020: 800.000 to 900.000 MT/year)
- Logistic facilities: excellent logistic facilities for shipping
to domestic, hinterland and over seas markets
