ESI was the EPC Contractor for the Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Facility. This first-of-a-kind facility receives 1300 tons/day of paper mill sludge from Wisconsin Tissue Mills, Kimberly-Clark, P. H. Glatfelter, and other local mills. The sludge is received, handled, dried, and combusted along with natural gas to produce process steam and glass aggregate as sellable byproducts. The markets for the glass aggregate include sandblasting grit, abrasives, roofing shingle granules, asphalt aggregate, chip seal aggregate, and decorative landscaping. This facility includes: one B&W 230,000 pph boiler with two special cyclone furnaces, extensive material handling equipment, complete sludge drying system, and state-of-the-art emission controls including SNCR, baghouse, etc. This facility received POWER Magazine’s 1999 Power Plant of the Year Award.
