Mercury Measurement for Coal-Fired Combustion Sources

US EPA has posted a Conceptual Method for Determination of Total Vapor Phase Mercury Emissions from Coal-Fired Combustion Sources (pdf, 49pp., 200kb). This conceptual method is the prototype of a future air pollution emission test method to be proposed and promulgated through notice and comment rulemaking. The method is intended for use as a reference test method for conducting relative accuracy testing (RATA)of mercury continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) installed at coal-fired combustion sources, as well as for measurement of mercury emissions from stationary sources.

US DOE Selects Projects to Reduce Mercury Emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants

In a continued effort to promote clean coal technologies, the U.S. Department of Energy has selected 12 projects aimed at reducing mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The projects' overall focus is on field-testing advanced post-combustion mercury control technologies that achieve at least 90 percent mercury removal with a cost reduction of 50 percent or more. Other objectives center on field-testing in specific areas of need, and bench-scale through pilot-scale testing of novel mercury control technologies.
