FAQ's


Who needs the Max-9? Anyone fighting emissions problems, that's who. And anyone interested in having the most advanced technology to help them meet or exceed future emission requirements. The Max-9 is designed to help if you:

  • Want to switch to low-cost fuels, but can't due to emissions problems
  • Are planning for particulate matter or mercury regulation requirements
  • Are running a borderline precipitator or baghouse that needs help
  • Exceed emissions limits at startup or shutdown
  • Are operating a de-rated unit due to emissions
  • Want to increase production/profits
  • Have failed a stack test

If you desire complete control over emissions, and want the reliability and technology that this US EPA patented system can offer, then Max-9 is for you.




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 Plant heat rate improvements
