Coal Processing Technology

AAA

TECHNOLOGY

The center was established to provide the advanced processing technology required to extract coal resins economically and promote the development of a coal resin industry in Utah.

The center has three proprietary technologies which will have applicability to Utah's coal industry

  1. Processing technologies for the efficient retrieval and refining of organic resins from coal
  2. X-ray CT technology for the analysis of coal wash-ability
  3. Methods for cleaning coal and the development of air-sparged hydrocyclone technology
CENTER NEWS
 With the increased demand for domestic energy development and coal being such an important energy resource, new opportunities for a coal resin industry may be considered.  It is expected that initiatives such as USTAR may afford the opportunity to revisit the possibilities of a coal resin industry for Utah.
