McCarthy has formed a strategic alliance with the Mitsubishi Cement Corporation to co-fire biosolids with other fuels at the Cushenbury Cement Plant located in the Lucerne Valley. This alliance provides a useful and innovative addition to McCarthy's range of biosolids beneficial reuse services.  Biosolids are combusted at a temperature of 1,700 degrees  in the preheater/precalciner. The combustion process releases ammonia which reacts with NOx in the gas stream, producing nitrogen and water. All ash and other residues are incorporated into the cement product.  During periods when the cement plant is unable to co-fire biosolids, material is diverted to to Liberty Composting.
