Mercury Emission Control Department (MEC) is about questions concerning the measurement of Hg as well as with technologies for Hg reduction in the flue gas that have been specially developed for your process.
Der Wanderbett-Prototyp ist am Kraftwerk Schkopau Block B mit Inbetriebnahme ab Anfang 06/24 seit etwa einem halben Jahr kontinuierlich im Betrieb. Bisher waren nur kleine Optimierungen (Einstellungen und Reparaturen an Sensorik, Anlagensteuerung, Förder-/Siebtechnik) erforderlich, welche während des laufenden Anlagenbetriebes…
Der Kraftwerksstandort Schkopau wird aktuell mit der neuen Wanderbetttechnologie ausgerüstet. Der Umbau findet hierzu direkt an der Abströmseite des Elektrofilter statt. Eine schmale Schüttung mit katalytisch aktiven Material „wandert“ durch die Schwerkraft vom EF-Dach in Richtung -boden. Das Abgas muss…
As a result of the amendment to the 17th BlmSchV and the TA Luft, tighter emission limits will apply in some cases from mid-2022. (See Table 1 and Table 2). This makes retrofitting or at least the verification of flue…
Since September 2021, a new test stand will complement the IEM test portfolio for the reduction of Hg emissions. A mobile test stand was manufactured to familiarize with the moving bed technology and to pre-select suitable materials for the moving…
Since August 2018, stricter mercury emission limits (range 1-7 µg/Nm³) are expected for coal combustion from the implementation of the BREF documents into German law. If the lower limits are pushed, this will be associated with capture rates of 80-95%…
Dr. Jan Schütze is head of the Mercury Emissions Control Department at IEM. He is one of the few experts in the field of mercury removal in power plants. In this interview, he talks about his vision: to reduce the…
13 July 2018: Excavators and trucks scurry like ants in this video showing work on the foundations of the new facility.
Activated carbon acts like a sponge: it absorbs toxic substances, which can later be easily removed together with the activated carbon. Thanks to this process, the lignite-fired power plant in Schkopau will reduce its mercury emissions by two-thirds and thus…
Lignite-fired power plants in Germany must adhere to certain limits that restrict mercury emissions. This chart shows exactly what these are and when they apply.
At the power plant in Schkopau, IEM ConveyingSystems is building a complex cleaning system that will remove mercury from the exhaust gases by means of activated carbon. In an interview, Ralf Zander (CEO) explains why he doesn't believe much in…
