Hyperbaric Centrifuge Technology Successfully Dewaters Coal Fines

Green Car Congress

A dewatering technology developed at Virginia Tech has succeeded in reducing the moisture content of ultrafine coal to less than 20%, transforming it to a salable product. During recent prototype tests at Arch Coal Company’s Cardinal plant in Logan County, W.Va., Roe-Hoan Yoon. as part of a license agreement with Virginia Tech.
