Sorbent Traps and Mercury CEMS Options to be Debated on May 8, 2014

The McIlvaine "Hot Topic Hour" on May 8 at 10:00 a.m. CDT will probe for answers to the questions relative to choices for monitoring mercury. A number of U.S. utilities have opted for sorbent traps over mercury CEMS. So this raises the questions:

Should you use sorbent traps or mercury CEMS?

·       Cost?

·       Reliability?

·       Process control?

·       Site specific variables such as mercury quantity?

Should you use both? One for compliance and one for process control.

Does the sorbent trap also measure particulate mercury?

What about compliance aspects? If one approach gives higher measurements than another, why not choose the one with the lower emissions and play it safe?

We are going to have a number of experts functioning as panelists to try to answer these questions.

Jim Staudt, Owner, Andover Technology Partners

Daniel Chang, P.E., AQC Business Development, B&V Energy, Black & Veatch Corporation

Dr. Heather Byrne, R&D Director, Carbonxt, Inc.

Dan Kietzer, Business Development Manager

Jeremy Whorton, P.E., CEMS Product Manager-Americas, Air Quality Instruments, Thermo Fisher Scientific 

Michael (Mike) P. Martin, Senior Project Manager, TRC Environmental Corporation

John  Pavilish, EERC

We also expect and encourage a number of others with valuable contributions to join us as well.

The discussion will be based on presentations and case histories already available in a dedicated website: Mercury Removal - Continuous Analyses

This site already has the power point presentations by the CEMS and sorbent trap people.  One presentation which makes a strong case for sorbent traps is:

Mercury Compliance Monitoring in 2015 and Beyond by Volker Schmid, Clean Air Engineering - Hot Topic Hour March 28, 2013

The webinar is free of charge to power plants and other operators of mercury monitoring systems.  The website is accessible free of charge to everyone and is designed to provide the necessary background information for all the decisions relative to mercury emission compliance.
