The SEFA Group, a South Carolina-based company that is focused on fly ash usage in the construction industry, has begun marketing the first recycled fly ash generated at the Keystone Generating Station in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.
SEFA entered a multiyear arrangement with Keystone-Conemaugh Projects to market and sell the station’s fly ash for beneficial reuse.
“We’re pleased to be recycling this byproduct as an environmentally beneficial material in concrete construction, and making a positive impact for future generations,” says Dave Benson, COO for Keystone-Conemaugh.
The SEFA Group engineered and built a facility to load and transport the recycled product, and began sales of the material on June 1. “We are now able to support the ready mixed concrete and concrete products industries in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia,” says Bert Nunn, VP of Fly Ash Sales and Marketing for The SEFA Group. “Fly ash is important to these industries because it improves the performance characteristics of concrete and also reduces the environmental footprint of concrete as a finished product.”
