Mercury Emissions Control Technologies
Demonstration of Integrated Approach to Mercury Control
This project will demonstrate a novel multi-pollutant control technology for coal-fired power plants that can reduce emissions of mercury (Hg), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). This approach includes optimization of the combustion system to improve fly ash reactivity with mercury and a polishing step that uses small amounts of activated carbon to further increase mercury removal efficiency. GE Energy will conduct a field demonstration of this technology at Progress Energy's Lee #3. The objective is to demonstrate at least 90% mercury removal.
