TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – US fossil fuels producer Consol Energy has resumed normal coal operations at the Bailey preparation plant in south-western Pennsylvania.
At the start of the month, Consol reported a partial structural failure on its newly installed above-ground clean-coal conveyor belt at the Bailey plant. No one was injured and the system operations were immediately halted.
Consol said the belt system conveyed coal from the Bailey and Enlow Fork mines, at the clean coal silos, to the Bailey complex train lead-out facility.
Consol on Monday reaffirmed its guidance to sell between 13.4-million and 13.9-million tons of coal during the third quarter.
