ST Equipment & Technology LLC (STET) has signed a contract with KC Cottrell to supply of an Electrostatic Ash Carbon Separator to be installed in the Samcheonpo Thermal Power Plant on 12th July 2018.

One of the environmental problems arising from the coal power plant operation is fly ash disposal. The fly ash is sold after classifying or landfill. Upon sale, it should meet strict construction standards. Even when it is dumped into landfill, it requires necessary protection means to prevent ground water pollution. It naturally causes increasing landfill costs.

The STET’s electrostatic beneficiation technology is well established as the most extensively used technology to reduce the carbon content of coal fly ash, the low energy consuming / high efficiency process operates at high capacity – up to 40 ton per hour by a compact machine. Fly ash with carbon levels greater than 20% have been used to produce a concrete grade ash with a controlled carbon content of below 5%. A carbon rich product is simultaneously produced and returned to the utility boiler to recover the fuel value of the carbon.
