Lovelock facility is the world's largest producing diatomaceous earth (DE) plant. Its three kilns produce calcined and flux-calcined filter aids and functional additives. It’s commonly known as the Colado plant. The facility uses DE ore from the open-pit Colado mine, soda ash, natural gas, and electricity to manufacture products used as filtration media across many industries including brewing, corn wet milling, oil and gas, wineries, potable water, swimming pools and petrochemicals. In addition, filler products are used as an anti-block in polyethylene film and flattening agents in paint. |
