Energy

When Houston based Reliant Energy looked to implement it’s $800 million Seward generating station using a new technology known as “circulating fluidized bed” (CFB) combustion, it looked to CEMCO, Inc.

The issue of reducing the ‘GOB’ coal to a usable ‘pellet’ and separating the burnable coal material from dirt and other contaminants to had to be overcome for the CFB facility to operate efficiently. CFB combustion thoroughly burns low-grade waste coal and captures its remaining heat value as energy.

When Seward’s new power plant became operational in 2004, it became the largest waste coal power station in the world, converting pollutant waste coal into 521 megawatts of electricity per hour. Seward’s productive output is approximately 5 times that of the next largest waste coal plant.

Now CEMCO provides ‘GOB’ crushing solutions to a number of America’s cleanest waste coal burning plants.

In 2009, CEMCO began aligning itself with other Companies with a determination to look at energy recovery from longterm pollutants as an alternate to energy ‘exploration’. CEMCO is currently evaluating extraction opportunities in relation to recovering energy from automotive tires, asphalt and other construction materials currently clogging America’s landfills.
