Overview:

The resurgence of coal as the mainstay of fossil fuel in the US and globally has further increased the substantial volumes of Coal Combustion Products (CCP) that are being produced. In the US, Coal Combustion Products (CCP) are the fourth biggest quantity mineral supply produced. How to manage the utilization and disposal of these products while developing strategies to maximize opportunities and reduce risk in relation to regulatory constraints is the focus of this conference. Industry experts from the utility sector and coal support service sectors will share their perspective on the opportunities and risks associated with Coal Combustion Product (CCP) utilization and disposal. In parallel, the environmental protection agencies will describe the different perspectives affiliated with CCP utilization as examined within the EPA Air side and the EPA Waste side. Utilities are faced with additional regulation compliance that may very well render their combustion products (CCPs) unmarketable. The challenges and possible influences of such regulations on disposal will be addressed together with the current trends and economic factors.

Additional topics will include:

  • How to address CCP issues during the plant design process

  • IGCC byproducts

  • Coal Creek Station Case Study
