The ProRak™ Advantage An introduction to Hg Process Monitoring and Feedback Control

Background Info ► What are you doing for MATS Compliance (Traps, CEMS)? ► How are you controlling Hg (ACI, CHI)? ► What emission rate will you be controlling to? ► How are you going to handle non-compliance periods?

What is a ProRak™ The ProRak™ is a continuous process mercury analyzer developed jointly by ADA-ES and Thermo Fisher. It is built from genuine Thermo Scientific components in a transportable, climate controlled enclosure. Why use it?  Lowers O&M costs of Hg control systems  Keeps you in MATS compliance  Compliments sorbent trap monitoring  Controls Hg Reduction Processes Features?  Simple to operate and maintain  Short Return on Investment  Installs anywhere in a few hours  Uses CVAF to eliminate SO 2 Bias vs. AA

ProRak™ Components ► The Official Name: ADA ® ProRak™ Mercury Analyzer ► Consists of Thermo Fisher Components 80i Analyzer 82i Probe Controller 83i Fast Loop Probe (simplified) 84i Hg Permeation Source

Ancillary ProRak™ Equipment ► Air Cleaning System – Portable/Modular  Removes particulates, oil, moisture  Boosts pressure to 90 psi (if needed)  Produces a nitrogen stream for calibration and dilution ► Heated Umbilical – 50 feet included

ProRak vs. Compliance CEMS ProRak 1) Measures Hg Total (HgT) Only 2) Not designed for MATS QA/QC  Only needs to pass Daily Cals 3) Calibrates with 84i 4) Simplified 83i Probe  No Oxidizer  Less solenoid valves  Less tubing  Hg Total stream only 5) Installs anywhere in 2-days 6) Mobility (anywhere in plant) 7) Less Maintenance/Training 8) Costs Less (~$150,000) Compliance CEMS Speciates Hg (HgT + Hg0) Meets all MATS Criteria Calibrates with 81i and 84i Regular 83i Probe Requires costly CEMS Shack Stack or CEMS Shack More Maintenance/Training Costs More

The Challenge Facing Power Plants ► Coal Hg – Can vary by 5 lb/TBtu across a seam ► Coal Halogen Concentration ► Burner Performance (unburned carbon-LOI) ► SCR Operations - Excess SO 3 and NH 3 ► Wet Scrubber Chemistry - Hg Re-emissions ► Boiler Load (temperature and gas flow) ► Add Rate of Mercury Control Agent (PAC, CHI) ► SO 3 Conditioning for ESPs ► Gas Temperature Factors Affecting Hg Emissions

CoalQUAL Hg Data In General, Coal Hg can vary by 5 lb/TBtu across the same seam. If you don’t have a continuous Hg reading, you have to assume the highest possible Hg value.

Typical Range of ACI Performance

Systems that can Benefit from Feedback Control ► Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) Systems ► Coal Additive Systems ► Scrubber Additive Systems

Plants Using ACI © 2015 ADA-ES, Inc. Plants Using ACI for Hg Control Assumptions: ► Typical 500 MW as per B&W’s 40th Edition of “Steam”. ► PAC cost of $1.00/lb. ► Boiler availability = 70%. ► No significant native Hg capture

Possible ROI for ACI Systems ► An ACI reduction of 0.25 lb/MMacf saves $140,000/yr.

Summary of ProRak Advantages ► Lower Cost than a Compliance System ► Little chance of Non-Compliance ► Continuous Readout ► Feedback Control ► Less QA/QC ► Lower O&M ► Short Return on Investment ► Integration with ADA EXPERT i

ADA EXPERTi™ ► Holistic approach to Hg Emission Control ► EXPERTi collects plant data from the coal pile to stack and uses intelligent software to determine how further reductions in Hg emission can be achieved.
