“Mercury Measurement & Control”

BOBBY CHEN – CB&I

BIO: Former Assist Director of the Energy Research Center at Western Kentucky University, and currently employed with the CB&I Group as a Client Program Manager. He has extensive experiences in coal-fired combustion system emission control, at more than 200 coal-fired units performing evaluations for enhanced acid gas scrubbing particulate matters and metal emissions control.

ABSTRACT: EMO™+HL, Total MATS Compliance Solution

There are critical reasons to enhance mercury oxidization using CB&I's technology because controlling mercury (Hg) emission from the coal combustion process is best achieved through a two-stage process. The first stage is to promote the mercury oxidization at the combustion chamber outlet. The second stage is to provide a means of absorbent to capture the oxidized mercury. On numerous of CB&I’s field EMO trials, EMO has been proven to achieve 90% plus Hg oxidization, thus facilitates the downstream AQCS Hg control efficiency. Furthermore, EMO was also found to be the most cost-effective way of controlling stack Hg.
