Ten Power Generators Will Purchase 50 Percent of the Mercury Reduction
Products and Services in 2016
Mercury reduction is being accomplished by the addition of activated carbon,
bromine or other chemicals. With the new air toxic rules requiring U.S. power
plants to meet levels as low as 3 µg/m3 sales of these chemicals will be
substantial. Worldwide sales for chemicals to reduce mercury will exceed $1
billion. The electricity generator (EG) expenditures will be over $800 million.
Just ten EGs will spend an average of $40 million each and will account for over
40 percent of world purchases. Thirty-two EGs will account for 75 percent of the
purchases by EGs and 60 percent of the total mercury reduction expenditures.

The U.S. is ahead of other countries in limiting mercury emissions from
electricity from EGs. However, over the next ten years, the Chinese are expected
to ratchet down emission limits to the same level as in the U.S. When this
occurs, just seven corporations will account for 44 percent of the total
purchases.
The concentration of purchasing among just a few corporations dictates a focused
effort.

“Hot Topic Hour” November 12, 2015 to Focus on Latest Issues and Innovations in
Dry Scrubbing
This will be a free webinar to recommend updates to a power point presentation
of 60 slides covering a range of options and issues related to dry scrubbing.
The revised presentation and recording will be subsequently available to
McIlvaine subscribers and to any end user.
The dry scrubbing option is being taken by many operators of power plants,
incinerators, kilns and furnaces. There are many issues and innovations that
need to be addressed by decision makers. These will be summarized and discussed
in a 90 minute recorded webinar.
One of the decisions is the type of dry scrubber that is best. Originally SDA
was the main option. Now CDS is popular. DSI with the more reactive sorbents has
become an option even when higher efficiency is required. The catalytic filter
with DSI promises one stop shopping. Combinations such as DSI and SDA are also
an option.
The dry scrubber is necessarily part of a multi pollutant removal system that
addresses particulate, acid gases and toxic metals. As a result, the evaluation
of the impact of the dry scrubber on the removal pollutants such as mercury is
important. The changing regulations in the U.S., China and the EU all need to be
addressed.
Solid waste is an issue. Can the sorbent/acid/ash combination be used as
construction materials? What about leaching of toxic metals? The loss of flyash
and gypsum revenues need to be evaluated. The benefits of lower water use and
elimination of wastewater are also important
There are many process factors. One is the sulfur content of the fuel versus the
required efficiency. Another is the temperature of the air leaving the heat
exchanger and the potential for DSI ahead of the air heater to allow greater
heat recovery.

DETAILED FORECASTING OF MARKETS, PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS
It is now possible to precisely segment and predict markets, identify the
prospects, and track the most important projects.
A few hundred companies make most of the flow control and treatment purchasing
decisions. McIlvaine is identifying them and reporting on their activities.
Detailed forecasting of markets, prospects and projects provides the following
benefits:
Improve decisions on allocation of direct sales, promotion and development
expenditures
Increase orders cost effectively
Review strategy with better insights as to improvement
