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 Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers.

The issue of reducing the ‘GOB’ coal to a usable ‘pellet’ and separating the burnable coal material from dirt and other contaminants for CFB combustion which thoroughly burns low-grade waste coal and captures its remaining heat value as energy was threatening the viability of the Seward plant.

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.
