By-product to Commercial Output

摘要

More than 200,000 tonnes of material have passed through the CDE washing plant at Irish Asphalt's Duleek Quarry, in Co. Meath, since its installation in the summer of 2003. In July 2004 the plant's ownership will transfer to Irish Asphalt, part of the Lagan Holdings Group, having been operated on a price-per-tonne basis by CDE since its installation. The Euro 1.5 million contract represented a major investment for Northern Ireland company CDE, and while their processing systems have previously been chosen for applications ranging from specialist sand classification to quarry-dust washing, the raw material at Duleek provided them with a considerable challenge.
