Treatment Chemicals for Cement Industry Pollution Control Projects
As a supplier of treatment chemicals you have the opportunity to provide information on a free website focused on helping the cement companies meet their new pollution control regulations. These new regulations will require more than 100 scrubber systems. Many plants will also be installing ammonia or urea injection systems to solve their NOx problems. Various chemicals will also need to be injected to address metal toxic problems. There will now be water pollution problems that will also require even additional chemicals. Various halogen compounds are also being considered for mercury oxidation.
McIlvaine hosted a very successful webinar on February 12. The purpose was to help cement companies with the decisions they need to make with the coming MACT regulations on toxic air pollutants. The presentations by the speakers were recorded.
Andy O’Hare of PCA made a very good case for the difficulties facing the cement industry in meeting the proposed MACT standards. PCA research shows that more than $3 billion would have to be spent for scrubbers, baghouses and regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs).
Andy joined the other speakers in validating the extreme variations in emissions from plant to plant and from hour to hour. Mercury emissions are the most extreme with variations from one plant to another and variations between raw mill on and off operation being several orders of magnitude. Meeting the proposed limits for some plants would require technologies which would remove more than 90 percent of the mercury.
We have now posted the links to presentations and recordings in a free registered website. You will need to register as explained at:

Follow up webinars will be held March 12th and 19th. A summary presentation will be made on March 30 at the PCA IEEE meeting.
We encourage you to send us relevant information to post on this free website. Information on successful applications relative to pollution control would be valuable.
We are tracking all the projects for the industry in a new database which is linked from the following report:
