ST reduces carbon footprint

Separation Technologies, a TITAN Group subsidiary specializing in processing coal fly ash, installed solar cells in the Tampa facility, so as to improve further the carbon footprint of the ash separation pro-cess. A total of 1871 square feet of photovoltaic solar panels are installed on the top of the silos capable of collecting 9.24 peak kilowatts of energy. In its first year of operation the system has saved about 23,000 KWh of electricity.

Also, the energy-saving dense-phase fly ash transport equipment installed at this facility efficiently conveys fly-ash with yearly energy savings of close to 1,000,000 kilowatt hours per year compared to previous designs.
