Abstract Title: Addressing MATS with Multi-Pollutant Emissions Control Systems

Best Practice Story: Coal has been a leader in powering America for nearly a century, but recent, increasingly stringent, emissions regulations threaten its future as a driver of local and national growth. The most immediate regulation that electric utilities needs to address is the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). This presentation will provide an overview of the emerging market for multi-pollutant emissions control systems, and their ability to address MATS with the flexibility to address future regulations. This technology, now being offered by several companies, uses a single system to remove high levels of multiple targeted pollutants from flue gas – including mercury, particulate matter, CO2 and NOX and SOX, halogens and other heavy metals - before it is released into the atmosphere.

Multi-pollutant emissions control systems offer extensive benefits to the many coal-based industries searching for an option to meet rapidly approaching deadlines at a less disruptive cost. They generally require a lower capital investment than the series of traditional counterparts that would be needed to eliminate the same number of pollutants, they can be installed more quickly and with a smaller footprint and some of the systems use a modular design that ensures scalability for larger boilers. Additionally, multi-pollutant control systems offer the potential for removal of CO2, allowing companies to hedge against the potential for future regulations.

Kevin Crapsey, Vice President of Corporate Strategy at Eco Power Solutions, will deliver a concise, informative session that explains how the technology works, the emissions compliance options available to utilities and cooperatives, and why they should consider multi-pollutant emissions control systems. He will review the variations of the technology and assess their strengths and weaknesses, while also placing their relevance to the coal industry today and in the future.
