RockTron's Environmental Credentials

• The RockTron Beneficiation Process is designed to treat 100% of both fresh ash and stockpiled fly ash, cutting the cost of long-term storage. It also allows you to plan ahead for effective site remediation.

2. A Solution for Legacy Fly Ash Deposits

• RockTron fly ash beneficiation plants can be sited wherever large deposits of fly ash remain – including legacy deposits at decommissioned power plants.

3. A Solution for New Build Coal-Fired Power Stations

• RockTron beneficiation plants can be designed to fit into all new coal-fired power plant construction plans, immediately removing the need for a long term fly ash waste management program.

• Comprehensive site remediation is now possible thanks to the RockTron fly ash beneficiation process.

5. Meet the Green Agenda

• The RockTron beneficiation process turns the fly ash environmental legacy into commercial, recycled eco-minerals that help ‘green’ the supply chain of a wide range of important domestic industries.

6. Other environmental benefits include:

• Plants are designed to minimise their environmental impact.
• RockTron’s processing technology operates a clean and closed process, resulting in no material waste streams and full recovery of the constituent materials within the fly ash.Comprehensive site remediation over 25 years – recycling 20 million tons (metric).
• Removes the risk of a fly ash lagoon leakage disaster like the recent 1 billion gallon spillage in the USA Tennessee Valley.
• RockTron’s eco-products cut manufacturing costs and large scale CO2 emissions.
• The national carbon footprint can be significantly reduced as RockTron products can reduce man made CO2 emissions by up to 400,000 tpa (ton per annum) per plant.
• High purity coke (coal without volatiles), for re-burning in or use in filtration. RockTron recovers three times as much energy as it consumes, returning up to 2.5 million gigajoules of energy to the national power grid annually.
• RockTron products have the potential to replace other imported cement constituents.
• Cenospheres (hollow glass spheres) deliver weight reduction in aviation and automotive industries without compromising on safety, strength, or performance whilst enabling greater fuel efficiency.
• Spherical Magnetite, a brand new material for use in conductive polymers and RFI / EMI Shielding applications.
