Norit said DARCO Hg-LH EXTRA complements Norit’s DARCO Hg-LH which is the industry standard for mercury control technology for coal-fired utilities.
New regulations to limit mercury emissions from coal-fired utilities are being enacted in the US, Canada and other countries around the globe.
The proposed regulations for US coal-fired utilities are expected to reduce mercury emissions into the environment by 91%.
Norit activated carbon can help enable the utility industry to cost-effectively meet new regulations without disrupting operations.
The company claimed DARCO Hg-LH will offer improved mercury removal performance in challenging applications.
Norit said Sorbent injection trials at several separate coal-fired power plants showed DARCO Hg-LH EXTRA achieved 90% mercury removal from flue gas at low injection rates.
