Advances in Mercury Control
Date:
Wednesday, December 7, 2005
Time:
9:30–11:30 AM
Chair:
Doug Riedel, P.E., Burns & McDonnell
Co–Chair:
C. David Livengood, Ph.D., Argonne National Laboratory
Session Description:
Within several years, mercury emission limits will be in place and power plant
owners will either have to install control technology or purchase emission
credits for their units. A number of mercury control technologies are in active
development and testing, but long-term operating results are not yet available
for U.S. applications. This session will focus on the development and testing of
mercury control technologies for coal-fired power plants.
