Harsco’s SteelPhalt earns research grant through IETF

Harsco Environmental announced that its ecoproducts business, SteelPhalt, has earned a research grant through the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund, IETF, in the United Kingdom. The grant is part of a government effort to distribute funding to help energy-intensive industries cut their carbon emissions and energy costs. The grant funds will enable SteelPhalt to conduct a feasibility study on energy-efficient solutions for asphalt production. Asphalt production is an energy-intensive process fueled by natural gas, electricity and oil that includes drying, heating, crushing, screening and conveying material. The research will seek to identify ways to capture the waste heat in the exhaust gases and transform it into electrical power, with the objective of reducing the energy demand and carbon impact of the process. "The success of this project in identifying realistic solutions to reduce the energy requirements of asphalt production will differentiate SteelPhalt from its competitors and drive innovation across the industry," said Harsco Environmental Chief Operating Officer Russ Mitchell.
