With BREF for Large Combustion Plants (LCPs) slated for adoption in 2016, EU LCPs will have to develop compliance approaches for controlling SO2, NOx, PM 2.5 and Mercury emissions. For the European LCPs, it is expected that the new BREF mercury emission limits will be at least as stringent as those now mandated by the U.S. Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). Therefore, understanding and applying the ‘lessons learned’ from U.S. power plants to comply with MATS provides valuable insight for European LCPs to achieve compliance.
This informative webinar, presented by Aaron Benedict & Stephen Winter of Amec Foster Wheeler, is designed to help European power plants make informed decisions about mercury control technologies and how they are integrated into new or existing AQCS equipment. The following issues outlined are some of the topics to be covered in this webinar:
Proposed BREF Limits and Timeline for Compliance
Current mercury control perspective
Historical in US, MATS/what has been done
What we envisage is going to happen in Europe
Typical mercury levels in various fuels
Mercury Measurement
Flue gas in situ testing considerations
Continuous Mercury Monitors
Mercury concentrations and the importance of Speciation (elemental, oxidized, and particulate forms) and impacts of SCR
Compliance strategies and Solutions
ACI (ESP vs FF, typical system, typical performance, balance of plant considerations)
WFGD re-entrainment (additives & effects, optimizing FGD chemistry w/o additives)
Sorbents and activated carbon injection – how best to apply
Attendees are encouraged to ask questions which will be covered during the Q&A session of the webinar.
