Dr. Michael Durham, President and CEO of ADA-ES stated, “ADA has been conducting mercury control demonstrations and testing projects in Canada for the past several years. This award is the culmination of that testing and validation of our technology for the Canadian coal-fired power industry. We expect this market to be active throughout 2009 as several Canadian power companies are preparing to meet January 2011 emissions regulations.”
Dr. Durham continued, “The current market for our mercury control systems and powdered activated carbon sorbents is being driven by regulations in 16 states, new power plants being constructed, and regulations in several Canada provinces. We believe this market will expand significantly once a new federal mercury regulation is finalized in the US, either through Congress or the Environmental Protection Agency.”
