Installation of modular briquetting system |
The beneficial recovery of coal fines:
Abandoned coal fines represent a continuing and unnecessary liability to the mine owner; for the Komar system can cost-effectively recover the energy value of this material. In the United States alone, there are an estimated one billion tons of economically recoverable coal fines, the energy equivalent of approximately 10 years' electricity output from all the nuclear generating systems in the nation.
Refuse derived fuels:
Refuse derived fuels may be the greatest and most advantageous application of Komar technology. According to Federal EPA guidelines, by the year 2005, the amount of MSW dumped at community landfills must be reduced by 50%. Komar's SpiralclaveTM Thermal Separation System can help meet these regulations by diverting the organic material in MSW and recovering its inherent and currently wasted energy value. Cost-effective RDF can be developed from waste materials, blended with coal, and bound together with a high-BTU binder. Komar's waste management solution also aids in the recovery and reuse of valuable recyclables.
The recovery of other heretofore "unusable" materials:
Komar's briquetting system is a practical and economically viable method for the beneficial reuse of various differing waste streams, including sawdust, wood waste, pulverized paper, and paper waste in combination with a beneficial binder.
