Charah Solutions, Inc. announced that it has opened its first facility using new patented technologies for grinding granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) to create supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This fully operational facility at the Port of Coeymans, a marine terminal located 10 miles south of Albany, New York, and 100 miles north of New York City on the Hudson River, is accessible by ship, truck, and rail, and is selling materials to concrete product manufacturers throughout the Northeast. The grinding mills, which can be installed for a fraction of the cost of competing technologies and scaled up or down to meet market demands, allow Charah Solutions to serve customers in markets where the supply of fly ash or other SCMs is limited. Charah Solutions’ technology is more cost-effective, regardless of the volume of SCMs needed, and is designed to be flexible, with the ability to add production capacity as a market grows. Additionally, Charah Solutions’ technology can also be used for grinding natural pozzolans to create additional SCMs to replace fly ash and to expand Charah Solutions’ byproduct sales offerings. In addition to showcasing the new patented grinding technology, the new facility will manufacture slag cement that is marketed under the brand MultiCem™. The MultiCem slag cement will be distributed throughout Charah Solutions’ MultiSource® materials network, which is a unique, nationwide distribution system of more than 30 sourcing locations that provide ready mix concrete producers and other customers a continuous and reliable supply of SCMs, including quality fly ash and slag cement. MultiCem slag cement is produced by grinding GBFS, a byproduct of steel production, and can be added in the production of concrete and cement. MultiCem slag cement provides strength, durability, improved finish, and consistent performance in concrete, and can be used at higher replacement rates than other SCMs, reducing the overall carbon footprint and decreasing the need for landfills.
