Mercury Scrubber

Reduces all forms of mercury in air emissions

Mercury Scrubber

Applications/How it Works:

Tri-Mer Mercury Scrubber provides up to 99.9% reduction in Hg vapor emissions.

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.

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 sulfide, a stable and manageable form of mercury that can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. The exceptionally high efficiency of the Tri-Mer scrubber is the result of a patented oxidation monitoring method, which optimizes system chemistry.

Tri-Mer developed the mercury vapor 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.
