Three of the contracts are with US electric power generators, one of which was secured through Brenntag Pacific, a distributor of Calgon Carbon’s products and services in North America. Under terms of the agreement, Calgon Carbon will supply FLUEPAC to coal-fired power plants in the mid-atlantic, midwestern, and western regions of the US.
The fourth contract is for removal of mercury from the flue gas of a cement plant. Calgon Carbon expects that the US Environmental Protection Agency will promulgate and finalize regulations in 2010 that will require the cement industry in the US to control its mercury emissions.
Robert O’Brien, senior vice president of Calgon Carbon, said: “We are pleased that three electric power companies have selected our FLUEPAC powdered activated carbon to meet their requirements for mercury removal. As this market continues to expand, we look forward to providing these products to other power companies.
“Also, we are very pleased to have been chosen to supply activated carbon to a cement manufacturing company for mercury control. We believe that this is the first contract for on-going carbon supply for mercury removal at a cement plant in the US.”
