Mercury Emission Control
Mercury is a potentially deadly neurotoxin that has received a great deal of scrutiny over the past two decades. After settling in the environment, mercury picks up a methyl group (CH3-) to form methylmercury, which is a bioaccumulative molecule, building up in the tissue of animals like fish and humans. Forty states have some form of fish consumption advisory for mercury as a result.
At the end of 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), requiring a reduction in mercury by approximately 90% at coal- and oil-fired power plants by 2016. You can trust STEAG to help your facility comply with the new regulations.
STEAG uses an existing wet flue-gas desulfurization system (FGD) to deliver cost-effective mercury control that leaves fly ash and gypsum uncontaminated
Our method removes mercury from FGD wastewater, allowing the slurry to be reintroduced to the plant process
