The clinker lumps get crushed to small sizes by clinker grinders mounted under water and fall down into a trough from where a water Ejector takes them out to a sump. From there it is pumped out by suitable rotary pumps to dumping yard far away. In another arrangement a continuous link chain scrapes out the clinkers from under water and feeds them to clinker grinders outside the bottom ash hopper. Bottom ash may be used as an aggregate in road construction and concrete, where it is known as furnace bottom ash (FBA), to distinguish it from Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA), the non-combustible elements remaining after Incineration . It was also used in the making of the concrete blocks used to construct many high-rise flats in London in the 1960s SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
