This week, the FEECO website saw many new additions of exciting content:

Synthetic Gypsum Processing Resources

Synthetic gypsum is a by-product of industrial processing. The most common form of synthetic gypsum, sometimes called syn gyp, is FGD gypsum, or Flue Gas Desulphurization Gypsum. FGD gypsum is created at fossil-fuel burning power plants, when sulfur dioxide is removed from gas pollutants.

After the Clean Air Act mandated this process in the 1980s, people began to discover that this by-product could serve as a synthetic form of gypsum, and could even replace natural gypsum in many applications. However, synthetic gypsum requires processing before it can be used, and interest in processing has since been on the rise.

FEECO has been helping companies to turn their unique synthetic gypsum samples into value-added products. In order to answer some of the common questions we receive surrounding syngyp processing, we’ve added a synthetic gypsum page to our website:

Our new synthetic gypsum page serves as an overview of processing, and features common processing methods and equipment, photos, and articles from the blog.
