Mercury Scrubber
Reduces all forms of mercury in air emissions
Tri-Mer Mercury Vapour Scrubbers
Tri-Mer Mercury Scrubber provides up to 99.9% reduction in Hg vapour emissions.
The Tri-Mer mercury scrubber incorporates a wet chemistry process that provides a cost-effective means of reducing all forms of mercury in emissions.
The novel scrubber technology transforms mercury into mercuric sulphide, HgS, a stable and manageable form of mercury that can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste. The Tri-Mer scrubber’s exceptionally high-efficiency results from a patented oxidation monitoring method, which optimizes system chemistry.
Applications
It is ideally suited to lower emissions from coal-fired power plants, municipal waste incinerators, cement kilns, chlor-alkali plants and gold mining, the major contributors to mercury pollution in the U.S.
Technological Development
Tri-Mer developed the mercury vapour scrubber in cooperation with ADA Technologies, Inc., Littleton, CO. ADA, an industry leader in mercury pollution clean-up technology, developed the chemistry for Tri-Mer through an EPA grant.
