In 2011, energy technology investor David Schwedel acquired the coal technology assets of Beard Technologies from the Beard Company (a leading provider in the United States to coal companies building and managing fine coal recovery plants for nearly two decades), and formed Coalview Recovery Group, LLC and Coalview Ltd. The year 2013 marked a milestone for Coalview as America’s only fully integrated coal technology company for coal fines recovery with our own in house laboratory and sample extraction technique. Our team consists of industry experts that have extensive experience in evaluating waste reserves and design systems for mining and reclamation sites since the early 1990s. We have perfected the Vibracore drilling technique over hundreds of successful slurry pond drilling projects. We have developed a unique 8-wheel drive, low-ground-pressure, all-terrain, amphibious drill rig that is capable of drilling quickly, accurately, and inexpensively even in the hardest-to-reach places. We are familiar with slurry deposition patterns so we know where to locate holes for reliable results. We operate our own in-house world-class, fine coal recovery laboratory that specializes in reserve evaluations and quality control testing for slurry pond recovery projects. We have performed thousands of batteries of tests to evaluate size distribution, deposition patterns, washability, plant circuit design and anticipated product quality. We know where to sample and which tests to run in order to determine the viability of recovery projects quickly and inexpensively. Coalview is committed to applying innovative technologies to the coal industry to help improve the land we are entrusted with and the environment.
