This generating unit produces 600 gross megawatts of electricity and utilizes low sulfur Powder River Basin (PRB) coal from Wyoming. ADA-ES expects to deliver this system by the end of the second quarter of 2010, with startup anticipated in the third quarter.
Michael Durham, president & CEO of ADA-ES, said: “This contract is with a power company that has purchased our ACI systems in the past. The current markets for our mercury control systems and powdered activated carbon sorbents are being driven by regulations in 16 states, new power plants being constructed, and regulations in several Canadian provinces.
“Once the equipment is up and running, it will need a continuous supply of activated carbon (AC) to control mercury emissions.”
ADA-ES is a clean coal technology and specialty chemical firm. The company develops and implements proprietary environmental technology and specialty chemicals to enable coal-fueled power plants to enhance existing air pollution control equipment and maximize capacity.
