Title: Rocklick Plant designed for flexibility

Abstract

Eastern Associated Coal Corp. constructed the 1,200-tph Rocklick Preparation Plant to complement its new system of production planning. Rocklick is designed to clean coal from all of Eastern Associated's mines and contractors working in the Pond Fork Valley of southwestern West Virginia. The Rocklick Plant can process and blend about three million tpy to meet customer specifications. The plant can ship coal by barge or rail to any market. Thus the plant is a key link in marketing Eastern's low-sulfur steam coal. To fulfill a wide range of customer specifications the Rocklick Plant is equipped to provide fully washed, high-volatile steam coal; partially washed, high-volatile steam coal; and blends of fully washed and raw coal. This article explains how the plant operates.
