Mercury Emissions Control Technologies
Field Demonstration of Enhanced Sorbent Injection for Mercury Control
ALSTOM will test their proprietary activated carbon-based sorbent
which promotes oxidation and capture of mercury via preparation with chemical
additives. ALSTOM proposes to test the sorbents at three utilities burning
different coals, PacificCorp’s Dave Johnston (PRB), Basin Electric’s Leland Olds (North Dakota Lignite) and Reliant Energy’s
Portland Unit (bituminous). Other project partners include Energy and Environmental
Research Center, North Dakota Industrial Commission and Minnkota Power who
will be a non-host utility participant. Upon completion of this two year project,
ALSTOM will demonstrate the capability of controlling mercury emissions from
units equipped with electrostatic precipitators, a configuration representing
approximately 75% of the existing units.
