CES Can Turn Coal and Sewage Waste to Energy  

Ground Water Pollution   The major source of water pollution in the coal mines is the carry over of the suspended solids in the drainage system of the mine sump water and storm water drainage. In some of the coal mines, acidic water is also found in the underground aquifers. In addition, waste water from coal preparation plant and mine water are other sources of water pollution.

Air Pollution Coal Mine Burning for Years      The CES process chemically converts Municipal Sewage Sludge and other wastes into a uniform, pumpable, slurry fuel suitable for combustion, cofiring, or reburning in industrial and utility coal boilers. The manufactured slurry fuel can be pumped and transported through pipes or tankers to industrial and utility users, where it is stored in tanks and used as needed as a supplement or substitute for current fuel sources such as coal. With environmental and economic advantages over current methods, the extremely adaptive system can stand alone or mesh with existing or planned waste disposal strategies.   The uniqueness of the CES process is its chemical approach. Most wastes contain a large amount of moisture, which traditional technologies attempt to remove in order to process the waste. CES does not require dewatering and instead utilizes the benefits of fluids processing. Waste is subjected to specific temperature and pressure conditions in a step called "carbonization." Molecular rearrangement of the waste occurs, resulting in molecules that are significantly smaller, more uniform, and higher in energy. Furthermore, elements that typically form pollutants during combustion are removed. The result is a high-grade fuel that is cleaner to combust than most coals.
