Clean Earth Increases Fuel Blending Capacity at Calvert City Facility in Kentucky
02 June 2021 - 10:00PM
Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC), a global market leading provider of
environmental solutions for industrial and specialty waste streams,
today announced that the Calvert City, Kentucky, location of its
Clean Earth division received the final authorization to operate
the new tank farm, consisting of six, 15,000-gallon tanks. The new
permit provides 90,000 gallons of additional capacity for the
permitted activity of fuel blending.
The Kentucky Division of Waste Management
received an Inspection and Certification of Tank Farm Improvements
report in April 2021. Based on Clean Earth Calvert City’s tank
systems being in good working condition, the permit was authorized,
allowing the facility to now store and treat hazardous waste in the
tanks.
“Our strong record of environmental compliance
within the state of Kentucky provided our team with the necessary
permit approvals to increase our fuel blending program. This allows
our Clean Earth facility in Calvert City to enhance its customer
service by providing alternative solutions to various waste
streams,” said Hector Sanchez, Senior Vice President of Operations
for Clean Earth.
Clean Earth Calvert City’s fuel blending
services provide an economic and environmentally friendly recycling
option for solvent-based liquids, sludges and solids. This service
combines organic waste streams with other hazardous wastes as well
as non-hazardous wastes to blend the material into an alternative
fuel, which is then sent to a cement kiln to offset the use of
fossil fuels in the manufacturing of cement.
The Company’s hazardous waste facility in
Calvert City is a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Part B permitted treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF)
that manages solid, semi-solid, gas and liquid hazardous and
non-hazardous waste from off-site generators. The addition of the
newly permitted tank farm provides the facility with the
opportunity to take advantage of the current capacity constraints
within the marketplace, providing its customers with alternative
solutions.
