The Tephra Benefit
Tephra Environmental assists power utilities to beneficially repurpose Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) by treating the CCR with its proprietary technologies. Once treated, Tephra incorporates the CCR into an environmentally friendly green cement trade-named “GreenMix.” Tephra is able to beneficially use up to 10,000 tons of CCR per day in GreenMix, a rate which enables Tephra to completely eliminate its client’s coal ash storage facilities in a very short period of time.
