Some new faces on the scene will be Jacob Kershman and Rob Fredell. They will be manning the Neumann stand #338. Neumann will announce a new product line at EUEC which they say will dramatically reduce the operating cost of Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) air pollution control systems. The NeuStream®-DR process offers DSI operators a 90 percent recovery in the unreacted trona in their flyash when DSI is used for SO2 pollution control.
NSG Chairman and President Dr. David Neumann said “NeuStream®-DR enables up to 67 percent reduction in trona usage, cutting DSI operating expenses by more than half. NeuStream®-DR captures and re-processes the large portion of unreacted trona from the flyash waste of DSI systems for re-use as sodium bicarbonate.”
Yokogawa has sold ammonia slip monitors for the Hitachi SNCR systems at AEP Clinch River. The TDLS instrument has application for many combustion processes. Ed Deck and Dale Cathey (Gas Products Marketing Manager) will be available to discuss instrumentation and automation. Dale is assuming marketing responsibilities for the TDLS.
Jon Lemkuhler, John Schettler and Janet Chetland of Chemtura will be available to discuss use of bromine compounds to capture mercury.
$18 Billion will be Spent by U.S. Companies to Meet the New MATS Limits
Three hundred boilers representing 25 percent of the installed U.S. coal-fired generators will spend an average of $60 million per boiler to meet the new MATS limits. Each of these projects is identified in Utility Environmental Upgrade Tracking System published by the McIlvaine Company. www.mcilvainecompany.com
The new Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) has been promulgated for U.S. coal-fired power plants. Older plants have up to four years to meet compliance requirements for mercury, hydrogen chloride and particulate metals. The challenge is that these rules are just a portion of what the utilities call the “FrankenMACT.” They are referring to a combination of source and ambient rules which are also requiring compliance during the next four years.
Some utilities can escape significant capital expenditures due to the fact that efficient particulate control and SO2 removal devices are in place. They can add bromine to the coal and rely on the scrubber to remove the mercury and the HCl, so the breakdown is:
|
Category |
No. of Boiler Units |
|
Boilers which can presently meet MACT without major capital expense |
500 |
|
Boilers which cannot meet MACT without major capital expense |
450 |
|
Sub total |
950 |
|
Boilers which can meet Franken MACT without major capital expense |

300 |
|
Units which will select long-term approach |
500 |
|
Units with no major expenditures |
100 |
|
Total |
950 |
Four hundred fifty units will have to make substantial capital investments to meet the MACT. However, owners of 150 units will decide to take the long-term approach and make even greater investments so that they can meet both MACT and FrankenMACT. The total investment in air pollution control in the next four years will be substantially higher than just the $18 billion spent by those power plants taking the expedient approach.
The broader market will be increased by the expedient approach. The reason is that those who take this approach will ultimately spend more than those who take the long-term approach. The biggest beneficiaries will be the lime companies.
The most popular expedient approach will be dry sorbent injection using lime. This will lead to $100 million per year purchases of lime more than would be purchased with a long-term approach.

The market will achieve growth well above GDP because of four important factors:
· Increasingly stringent air pollution control regulations
· The desire to increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel costs
· Process automation and labor reduction
· Product quality control
· Increasing stringency of health and safety regulations
Developed and developing countries are all increasing the stringency of their air pollution regulations. Accurate measurement of the pollutants is the key to enforcement. With the steady increase in the cost of fuel and the negative aspects of carbon dioxide emissions, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important. Instant measurement of the products of combustion and of oxygen is critical.
Process automation is often dependent on continuous monitoring of physical and chemical composition of gases. Refining, oil and gas exploration and petrochemical production rely on these measurements.
Product quality control is also enhanced by air measurement. Semiconductor chips are subject to particulate damage. Facility monitoring systems continuously measure particulate at many points.
The safety and health of workers and residents is leading to accelerated monitoring of work and living space. Air borne contaminants include particulates, gases, mold, viruses, etc.
All gas phase measurement devices are included. Here are the gas phase categories:
§ Fence line
§ Fugitive
§ Indoor
§ Personal
§ Compressed air
§ Stack gas
· The measurements can be made continuously in processes, with periodic sampling and in the laboratory. Some of the laboratory sampling is of solids or liquids which have been used to trap the air contaminants.
Devices are needed to measure the physical properties of the gas. The measured properties are:
§ Aerosols
§ Flow
§ Humidity
§ Opacity
§ PM10
§ PM2.5
§ Pressure
Measurement of chemical properties is a challenge. There are hundreds of gas phase compounds which need to be measured. Some contaminants e.g. dioxins, appear as a number of distinct compounds. It is, therefore, necessary to measure each and utilize an equivalency factor to measure the total for the contaminant group. The chemical groups can be divided into four categories:
o Compounds impacting combustion efficiency (oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
o Pollutants in gas phase (SO2, NOx, Ammonia)
o Pollutants in particulate phase (cadmium, lead)
o Pollutants in aerosol phase (sulfuric acid mist)
The forecasts do not include devices measuring air and gas properties in vehicles. This is a large and separate market.

Solar Energy Provides Dependable Power to Schools in Emergencies
Schools large and small are turning to solar power to provide cost savings and dependable power. McIlvaine’s Renewable Energy Projects and Update follows these installations.
Coca-Cola (Japan) Company, Limited and Coca-Cola Educational & Environmental Foundation announced on September 10 that the Coca-Cola Japan Reconstruction Fund held a ceremony at Shinchi Elementary School on September 9, to commemorate the completions of solar facilities installed with grants from the fund at four public elementary and junior high schools in the town of Shinchi in Soma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture.
The fund is paying a consumption tax-inclusive grant of up to 30 million yen to acquire and install solar facilities. They comprise an emergency solar generator with a maximum capacity of 20 kW and storage batteries with an aggregate capacity of up to 16 kW.
JinkoSolar Panels Power Schools in Western China Hit by 2010 Yushu Earthquake
JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., a leading global solar power product manufacturer, announced that it has donated 15 kW of solar panels to three local elementary schools located in Chengduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Qinghai Province. Completed in mid-October, the solar PV system will provide enough power to meet the schools’ basic electricity needs.
In addition, hundreds of books, clothing, computers and other necessary supplies donated by Jinko employees have already been delivered to the schools in time for the start of the school year.
With an elevation above 4,000 meters, the prefecture does not have complete access to the national grid and therefore suffers chronic power outages. Following the 2010 earthquake that hit the region, the application of solar power is a quick and dependable solution to improve the population’s quality of life. In order to accelerate the installation, engineers from JinkoSolar visited the schools several times to ensure that the most optimal system is installed.
SolarWorld Solar Panels Poised to Power Shelters as Hurricane Season Approaches
As Florida braces for hurricane season, an ambitious program to install SolarWorld solar panels on 100 Florida schools by the end of 2012 has better equipped state residents to weather powerful storms. Tapping a $10 million federal stimulus grant, the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has enabled installation of a 10 kW solar array at each of the schools to provide emergency power for school-based shelters in the event of storms such as the impending Hurricane Isaac.
The ground-mounted solar systems supplement the schools’ electricity during normal operations while charging a bank of back-up batteries. If schools are put into service as emergency shelters, the solar systems will power their lighting and critical equipment, drawing on the batteries during dark hours.
SolarWorld Authorized Installer Vergona-Bowersox Electric Inc., based in Boca Raton, FL, has completed installations at 83 schools to date. “These solar systems increase the value of the state’s emergency shelters, making them more useful to citizens facing natural disasters,” said Michael Vergona Jr., project manager for Vergona-Bowersox. “Evacuees during a hurricane now have a place to charge their cell phones, keep their medications and baby formula refrigerated, or heat up a meal.”
Jurupa Unified School District to save more Than $34 Million with Solar and Energy Upgrades
Jurupa Unified School District and Chevron Energy Solutions announced the completion of a 2.7 MW solar and energy efficiency program expected to reduce energy costs at 27 school sites and save the district more than $34 million. The project added solar photovoltaic panels mounted on parking and shade structures at nine campuses; replaced 400 air conditioning units, most of them more than 20 years old; and upgraded more than 21,000 lighting fixtures. Coupled with comprehensive energy education curriculum content, the transformative program is designed to inspire students to learn about – and experience – clean energy technologies and concepts.
The program is expected to cut Jurupa Unified School District’s electrical utility purchases by 26 percent and reduce carbon emissions by more than 3,463 metric tons, equal to removing about 679 cars from the road.
Chevron Energy Solutions designed, engineered and installed the solar system, and will perform operation and maintenance services, as well as guaranteeing the system’s performance. The company also implemented energy efficiency improvements to campus heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems, which are expected to reduce the district’s annual energy consumption, improve lighting quality and aesthetics, reduce maintenance costs and provide consistent indoor climate quality.
