Project Summary

This alternative use for coal is a proprietary process for blending “micro-fine” coal which has been reclaimed from coal mine discard.

The coal fines are bulk delivered to the site in 40-foot shipping containers and consist of 50% moisture.

The containers are dumped into a hopper and conveyed into a flash dryer where the coal is dried to less than 5% moisture. Following drying, it is blended into No. 6 Fuel Oil, or other heavy oils, thereby increasing volume and BTU value of the fuel oil.

The blended fuel oil is stored in tanks and then pumped to ships/barges for delivery to the end user.

Project Highlight Features Include:

• Coal Fines tipper and conveyor systems
• Flash dryers
• MCC building
• Control room building
• Brownfield tie-ins for utilities
• Modularized high-speed blending system
• Procurement of all major equipment, fabricated steel
• 100% elimination of the chance of fuel oil product co-mingling with other terminal products
