The new product has undergone field testing over the past several years, and it provides an inexpensive method for power plants to achieve compliance with existing state and proposed national mercury removal regulations.

Novinda’s Amended Silicates met the mercury removal rates required by the EPA’s proposed maximum achievable control technology standards and is fully compatible with fly ash use in concrete products.

Amended Silicates uses a natural mineral compound as its base component and is therefore manufactured without excessive emissions and energy consumption.

Containing no carbon compounds, Amended Silicates also provides the benefit of protecting fly ash for use within concrete products, preserving the beneficial recycling of fly ash and minimizing its disposal into landfills.

Amended Silicates is fully compatible with most sorbent injection systems and is now available in commercial quantities for plant trials and long-term contract purchase.
