Every coal facility handling fuel—whether for combustion, blending, or storage—will eventually encounter off-spec products. Whether due to contamination, aging, or temperature-related phase shifts, these fuels pose a logistical and financial challenge. Managing off-spec fuel in coal operations is not only a matter of waste mitigation—it’s a chance to recover lost value.
At Altiras Fuels, we specialize in buying and repurposing off-spec fuels, turning problematic waste streams into useful energy. We work with coal terminals, power plants, and fuel storage sites to assess, test, and recover value from these materials.
What’s Considered Off-Spec?
- Out-of-range flashpoints
- Water or particulate contamination
- Viscosity or BTU variability
- Expired or off-ratio blended fuels
Rather than treating off-spec fuel as hazardous waste, Altiras helps you:
- Sell it to qualified reuse outlets
- Blend it into customized fuel solutions
- Reduce risk with EPA-compliant documentation
Our approach helps facilities recover lost revenue, avoid costly disposal fees, and stay compliant with environmental regulations.
Services for Off-Spec Fuel in Coal Operations:
- Lab testing and fuel classification
- Full-service pickup and transportation
- Fuel reformulation and blending options
- Regulatory and documentation support for beneficial reuse
Many coal operations also use off-spec fuel as a cost-effective backup or for internal combustion systems that don’t require spec-grade input. With the right testing and blending approach, off-spec fuels can be repurposed without compromising system performance—especially in flare systems or startup combustion scenarios.
If your site is storing problematic fuel, Altiras can help. Let’s talk about how to transform off-spec fuel in coal operations into a reliable energy solution.
