Pro Ash και EcoTherm:

Differentiating product capacity and branching out best practices

Manufactured from the fly-ash by-product of burning coal, ProAsh is a highly sought-after concrete additive that enhances the characteristics of concrete and reduces the amount of Portland cement required in the production of concrete. One of the primary ingredients in concrete, Portland cement, causes one tonne of CO₂ emissions for every ton of Portland cement produced. The United States consumes over 100 million tonnes of Portland cement annually. Separation Technologies’ Big Bend location is capable of producing up to 250,000 tonnes of ProAsh per year, which will create an equal amount of CO₂ offsets through the displacement of Portland cement in concrete mixtures.

Separation Technologies’ ProAsh production facility has won preliminary approval from the Chicago Climate Exchange Offsets Committee for carbon dioxide emission offsets at Teco Energy’s Big Bend Power Station. The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has determined that producing ProAsh through Separation Technologies’ patented electrostatic separation process results in the reduction of CO₂ output and qualifies for offsets under CCX guidelines.

In addition to ProAsh, Separation Technologies produces Ecotherm, a carbon-rich material that can be used as a substitute for coal and is regarded as a valuable commodity in light of the rising cost of fuel and the need to develop sources of energy while minimizing CO₂ footprint.
