Coal-fired power plants emit flue gas containing trace amounts of mercury, a highly toxic substance. Due to its severe environmental and health risks, an increasing number of countries, including the United States, Canada, and EU member states, have implemented stringent regulations to limit mercury emissions.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) has long been recognized as a proven and effective technology for controlling mercury concentrations in flue gas. As an innovator in this field, CarbonFresh has played a key role in advancing the reliability and cost-efficiency of this solution.

The CarbonFresh activated carbon portfolio represents decades of research, development, and optimization. All our products share a highly developed mesoporous structure, enabling fast adsorption kinetics and high capacity. This unique design ensures high mercury removal efficiency even at low dosing rates. We offer a range of PAC grades tailored to specific needs:

• Non-impregnated PAC (various grades): Ideal for flue gas where the majority of mercury is in the oxidized state.

• Impregnated PAC (various grades): Capable of removing both oxidized and elemental mercury from flue gas.

• Specialized impregnated PAC: Designed for use with Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) systems.

• Sulfur-resistant impregnated PAC: Optimized for flue gas containing higher concentrations of acidic gases like SO₃.

At CarbonFresh, our engineers specialize in selecting the optimal PAC grade for your specific requirements. We carefully evaluate key factors such as coal type, combustion efficiency, boiler design, pollution control equipment, contact time, and flue gas temperature to recommend the most effective solution for your facility.
