Charah buys SCB International

Written by Global Slag staff
02 May 2018

US: Charah has purchased SCB International to jointly develop and deploy technologies including fly ash beneficiation and mineral grinding technologies. Its intentions are to target: the beneficiation of fly ash for sale to concrete producers; processing kiln dust to remove mercury for emissions regulations compliance; and grinding granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and pozzolan for sale to concrete producers. Charah says that the acquisition will also allow it to more than double the volume of materials available to its customers.

“By leveraging SCB’s diversity of materials available and by benefiting from their experience in sourcing materials overseas, we see great potential in marketing the fly ash beneficiation and grinding technologies to our customers, both utilities and concrete producers,” said Scott Ziegler, Vice President of Ash Sales and Marketing at Charah.

As part of this agreement, Charah has acquired SCB’s proprietary fly ash beneficiation technology which will allow Charah to improve the quality of fly ash produced by electric utilities and to increase Charah’s supply of fly ash to concrete producers in the US. Charah also will deploy grinding technologies for GBFS and pozzolan and will market these supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to the manufacturers of concrete products.

Both the ash beneficiation and the mineral grinding technologies will support Charah’s expanding MultiSource fly ash distribution network. The MultiSource fly ash network will help ensure that Charah can provide a steady and reliable supply of SCMs for ready mix concrete producers throughout the US.

Charah provides ash management, fly ash sales and marketing and utility support services for the coal-fired power generation industry. Its services include landfill design, construction, management, operations and closure; fly ash, bottom ash and gypsum sales and marketing; ash pond management and closure; structural fill projects; and power plant support services including limestone supply and flue-gas desulfurisation operations

France: ArcelorMittal plans to increase its stake in Ecocem France to 49% from 30% by the end of May 2018. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Irish Competition Authority. The French subsidiary of Ireland’s Ecocem was set up in 2007 by ArcelorMittal and Ecocem Materials.

Ecocem produces slag cement from ground granulated blast furnace slag. Ecocem France operates a 0.7Mt/yr grinding plant at Fos-sur-Mer near to an ArcelorMittal plant. It plans to open a second 0.7Mt/yr grinding plant at Dunkirk in May 2018. The new plant is intended to target western and northern France as well as export markets in the UK and Belgium.
