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

Boilers which cannot meet

Units which will used expedient
MACT |
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.
