Washing coal with ordinary water is nothing new.

But now- after thorough pilot testing - we are pioneer-
ing a much better and a more economical way to
wash coal.

And clean it deeply. too.
The process is quite simple:

Raw coal is crushed. exposing more of its natural
inner impurities.

The crushed coal is passed through a bath of heavy
liquid. The lighter "cleaned" coal floats to the top and
the heavier impurities sink to the bottom.

Test results have been so promising we are building a
demonstration plant to process 125 tons an hour of
tenaciously dirty coal.

Our objective is coal not angel-clean, but deep
cleaned. Cleaner. certainly. than it could be with

present washing methods.
And it will burn better as well as cleaner.

We expect this pioneering to make abundant Eastern
high-sulfur coal more usable from an environmental
standpoint. And more efficient from an operational
standpoint.

Cleaner coal. It will help make the America we see
ahead a better America.

we see a busier, better America
