Galabovo is a small town in the heart of Bulgaria’s coal region. It is located less than 10 kilometers from the biggest lignite mining operation in the country, Maritsa East, and it is home to two coal-fired power plants.
As a result of the responsible attitude to the environment and the implemented advanced technologies, last year the most environmentally-friendly coal-fired power plant in Bulgaria achieved an average annual desulfurization efficiency rate of 98%. Partially what made it possible was using EUROBENT 4500/150 as ground isolation for four new cells at Waste Disposal Facility, which disposed of around 2 million tons of ash and gypsum in the most ecological way.
