Keystone Cement Co. operates a cement manufacturing facility on 850 acres in Bath, PA. Since 1976, Keystone has blended high-BTU liquid hazardous waste into fuel which is used as a supplement to coal in its cement manufacturing process. Keystone’s fuel blending operation is known as Giant Resource Recovery-Keystone (GRR-Keystone). Keystone was the first cement company in the United States to have an energy recovery program of this type. Keystone beneficially uses 17 million gallons of waste-derived fuel annually to replace approximately 50% of the coal requirement.

GRR-Keystone’s hazardous waste management operation includes four waste fuel storage tanks with a combined capacity of 93,000 gallons. All tanks are above ground, nitrogen blanketed, and agitated. Keystone also operates an on-site laboratory and offers off-site rail transfer facility services.

In December 2009, Keystone began operating an entirely new cement manufacturing facility at the Bath location. This plant is one of the most modern in the United States producing nearly double the cement of the previous plant. This new plant has enabled Keystone to better serve the growing needs of its customers while at the same time reducing plant emissions.
