Advantages of a co-benefits approach for Hg removal
- No additional Hg specific technology needed
- Existing controls technology can be used
- No effect on gypsum by-product
- Low OPEX and CAPEX costs
Although the co-benefits approach has several advantages, it does require a more in depth understanding of the Hg oxidation capabilities of the SCR catalysts and a more active catalyst management system. Johnson Matthey scientists have developed advanced characterization and activity measurement techniques that can assess the performance of the SCR catalysts at near power plant operating conditions. Using these techniques, JM scientists have created models to help predict the maximum Hg oxidation potential for your SCR catalysts under a variety of power plant conditions. Johnson Matthey also offers advanced SCR catalysts with improved Hg oxidation capabilities at power plant conditions.
