Numerous studies have been and continue to be conducted by B&W to consider the behavior of mercury in coal-fired systems, and to develop cost-effective approaches to its control.
Due to the high volatility of mercury, it can appear as either elemental or oxidized in the flue gas. The form of mercury present is a key factor in developing emissions control strategies. Depending upon many factors, (e.g., fuel choice, existing environmental equipment, or whether flyash byproduct is being sold), B&W can recommend and offer the most application-specific and cost-effective solutions for mercury control.
Mercury control options include:
- Flue gas desulfurization systems
- Fabric filter systems
- Powdered activated carbon injection
