Mercury (Hg) Adsorber
Due to newly published EPA emission standards for nine pollutants taking effect in March 2016, most existing sewage sludge fluidized bed incinerators will need additional air pollution control equipment. |
Consequently, CBE has performed extensive research into the available control technologies and manufacturers and is actively specifying several mercury adsorption systems for clients. |
Meeting the mercury emission standard of 40CFR60 subpart MMMM stands out as being the major point of concern. For mercury control, the best technology is to adsorb the mercury vapors onto granular activated carbon which has a layer of sulfur adsorbed onto the internal surface. This sulfur reacts with the mercury to lock it in place as mercury sulfide.
