The Max-9 system offers significant advantages over any other dust collection system. Ultra high
efficiency, small footprint, and proven, reliable technology provide the Max-9 with the flexibility
to perform well in a variety of strategies. The Max-9 is designed to operate as a stand-alone
unit, or in combination with other devices such as SCR equipment, scrubbers, precipitators and
baghouses. Systems can be configured to provide compliance with PM10 and mercury abatement regulations,
since the Max-9 removes fine particulate precursors and sorbents such as carbon and lime. No other
single technology can offer the versatility of the Max-9.
Increasing regulations (like the MACT standards in the US) will likely drive compliance strategies for coal-fired power plants. These
are the estimated US MACT standards which will come into being in the
near future, Australia and New Zealand will not be far behind:
| Particulate |
0.01 to 0.015 lb/mmBTU |
| Opacity |
5% to 10% |
| SO2 |
0.1 lb/mmBTU |
| SO3 |
98% reduction or 50 ppm |
| NOx |
0.08 lb/mmBTU |
| Mercury |
2007 70% reduction from 1999 levels
2010 90% reduction from 1999 levels |
| PM 2.5 particulate |
Annual mean 15 g/Nm³ ground level
24-Hr average 65 g /Nm³ ground level |
| CO2 |
