Fluepac - Model MC Plus -Powdered Activated Carbon

• High adsorption capacity for many pollutants.
• Effluent mercury levels can be reduced by over 95%.
• Rapid adsorption kinetics lead to low required contact times.
• Product has a high ignition temperature which permits use over a wide temperature range. Safe bulk storage.

Added Benefits
Existing combustion or incineration systems can be quickly and inexpensively retrofitted to permit the addition of FLUEPAC-MC PLUS powdered activated carbon. Operation is simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Utility requirements are low.

FLUEPAO-MC PLUS is specially designed to enhance mercury capture in flue gas streams. FLUEPAO-MC PLUS is injected directly into the flue gas stream and easily removed by existing particulate control devices. FLUEPAO-MC PLUS can be landfilled with the ash as a non-hazardous material.

FLUEPAO-MC PLUS has been proven to be particularly effective in applications where there are low chlorine levels in the flue gas resulting in the mercury species in the flue gas being predominantly elemental mercury (such as coal-fired boilers burning PRB coals). Elemental mercury is much more difficult to remove with standard unimpregnated activated carbons like FLUEPAO-MC. The kind of performance improvement that can be expected by using FLUEPAO-MC PLUS is illustrated in Figure 1. The data used to generate Figure 1 was taken from two different utilities in the western U.S. that burn PRB coals. As shown, the FLUEPAO-MC PLUS product greatly reduces the amount of carbon needed to achieve efficiencies above 70%.

Some typical mercury and dioxin control applications for FLUEPAO-MC PLUS include:

• Municipal waste combustors
• Hazardous waste combustors
• Hospital waste incinerators
• Cement kilns
• Coal-fired power plants
• Industrial boilers
