Separation Technologies LLC (ST) has been operating commercial fly ash beneficiation systems since 1995. ST’s electrostatic beneficiation technology reduces the carbon content of coal fly ash, producing a consistent, low carbon ash for use as a substitute for cement. Fly ash with carbon levels > 25% have been used to produce ash with a controlled carbon level of 2 ± 0.5%. A carbon rich product is simultaneously produced to recover the fuel value of the carbon.
ST’s newest project in Poland which includes a wet-to-dry ash collection conversion and an ST carbon separator was successfully commissioned in May 2010.
