Technology of mercury removal from exhaust from coal fired boilers

For the Polish power industry, the basic fuel is hard coal and lignite, which contains significant amounts of mercury. Current emission standards in the European Union (IED directive and in the near future BAT conclusions) create conditions for investment in flue gas cleaning installations for coal-...
