Coomtech Clean Technologies Information

Reducing emissions and energy use by 94%: Coomtech, a UK company, has developed a ground-breaking technology for drying and upgrading bulk-solid materials. Operating at lower temperature, reducing emissions and energy used across these difficult to abate critical industries. Focussing initially on the construction and renewable energy industries, opportunities exist in minerals, refined manufacturing materials, industrial waste streams fuels. Global demand for materials continues to rise in all these sectors growing a potential addressable tonnage in excess of 15 billions of tonnes processed annually. Coomtech has developed the only sustainable drying technology which offers a significant environmental impact and commercial viability in some of these markets. For example, the newly developing recovery of pulverised fuel ash for cement making from old coal fired power stations stockpiles driven by the closure of those stations no longer creating cement replacement materials. Coomtech supports the greening of the cement industry (second largest emitter of a global industry) while also aiding the coal fired power industry to clean up long standing, waste residues. By moving away from traditional drying methods, Coomtech’s patented drying process has a uniquely, low, controllable, energy requirement. The commercial and environmental benefits are significant and far outweigh capital and operating costs.
