Dry Coal Processing & Coal Washing Process

FGX technology is an innovative, efficient, coal preparation process using air. Typically coal processing is completed with water, which is a very costly and scarce resource requiring stricter permits to operate. The FGX dry coal washing process is proven successful, cost effective, environmentally friendly, and requires only an air quality permit.

Coal mining typically results in the recovery of rock that ranges from small to very large quantities depending on geological characteristics of the seam being mined. The haulage, processing, and storage of the rock represent significant costs, energy inefficiency, and a negative environmental impact. The process of removing unwanted rock from run-of-mine coal is referred to as deshaling, which normally involves a high-density separation in a gravity-based process.
