Environmental Review of the Proposed Fly Ash Beneficiation/STAR Project at the Morgantown Generating Station

摘要

Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC (Mirant) has proposed to modify the Morgantown Generating Station by installing a fly ash beneficiation project to thermally process fly ash into a low-carbon material suitable for beneficial reuse. The proposed project implements a proprietary technology called a Staged Turbulent Air Reactor (STAR), and is referred to as the STAR Facility. The proposed project is designed to process approximately 360,000 tons of fly ash per year, which includes fly ash produced primarily by the Morgantown and Chalk Point generating stations, thereby diverting the fly ash from its current disposal practices.
