Unoxidized Lime/Limestone FGD products are thixotropic sludges (consistency of toothpaste—may liquefy when shaken) Difficult to dewater. Require some sort of processing or admixture such as fly ash or lime to achieve moisture levels that can be handled. Cannot be easily stored, transported or spread with conventional agricultural equipment.
