Cold Side ESP Environments
Near-Instantaneous Reaction Time: Ultra fast reactions between the gas borne mercury and the brominated substrate allow for high levels of mercury removal in the short treatment times available in an ESP environment.
Exceptional Performance with Subbituminous Fuels: B-PAC’s patented bromination process overcomes the limitations of traditional activated carbon sorbents in low chlorine environments allowing mercury removal rates in excess of 95% to be achieved when burning PRB coal.
Broad Operating Temperature Range: B-PAC sorbents exhibit exceptional collection rates at all cold-side ESP inlet temperatures, even those in excess of 400°F.
No Fabric Filter Required: Because B-PAC provides excellent mercury removal in the high temperatures and short treatment times associated with ESPs, your existing ESP can be effectively used for mercury compliance rather than spending additional capital (and operating expense) on installation of a new fabric filter baghouse.
ESP Collection Performance: B-PAC can be used to effectively control mercury emissions with as little as 1 – 5 pounds of sorbent injected per million ACF of flue gas flow. From an ESP perspective this represents 0.5% to 1.5% of the total ash load. Multiple field trials and full scale site demonstration confirm no negative impact whatsoever on ESP collection efficiency, sparking, power consumption or other operating parameters.
