The document discusses FastPACTM, a PAC product originally designed in 2011 for optimal mercury capture performance. It has undergone continued innovation and improvements, including features in 2013 aimed at preserving fly ash marketability. It provides several benefits over other PAC products for mercury capture and oxidation kinetics. The product has been proven in over 100 demonstrations and the company continues to develop advancements to the platform, including improved performance in high-SO3 and DSI environments, and high temperatures.

1. FastPAC™ and FastPAC Premium® were
originally designed and introduced in 2011. These
products were some of the first, next generation
PAC products designed specifically for optimal
performance in mercury capture. Several features
of the product were tuned to achieve a step change
in mercury capture performance.
We continue to innovate and incorporate improved
features into the FastPAC™ platform. In 2013,
we collaborated with experts in ash quality and
re-use and incorporated new properties into the
the FastPAC™ platform aimed at preserving and
improving the marketability of fly ash.

2. We continue to engineer advancements into the FastPAC™ platform:
SO3 Tolerance: FastPAC Premium-80™ is engineered to perform in
flue gas environments with high levels of SO3. We have experience in
flue gas environments with greater than 25 ppm of SO3.
DSI Optimized: More utilities are using DSI to control acid gases. It is
generally known that the use of DSI can impair PAC performance. Our
FastPAC™ products mitigate the deleterious impact of DSI.
High Temperature Applications: Traditional PACs begin to dete-
riorate in performance at flue gas temperatures over 325° F. Fast-
PAC™ has been tested at temperatures in excess of 400° and shown
improved performance characteristics over other PAC products.
Improved ESP Performance: ESP performance is highly dependent
on the resistivity of the fly ash. PAC products can vary in the impact
they have on resistivity. Due to our focus on mercury capture, we can
tailor the resistivity of our PAC to perform best with your ESP.
Optimized for use with a Fuel Additive: We have designed products
based upon the FastPAC™ platform specifically for use in situations
where a flue gas additive for oxidation such as CaBr2 is used.
This test was developed internally to achieve comparative
performance data of different PAC products that had greater predictive
capability and correlation with full scale field results. The test has been
developed and improved over the last four years, and demonstrates
a strong correlation between the test and full scale performance.
This test offers a much improved alternative over traditional PAC
specifications to ensure consistent and reliable performance.

Expertise. Reliability. Compliance.
Reliable, consistent
performance is the name
of the game in compliance.
Traditional PAC specifications
are based upon surrogate
measurements that do not
correlate to mercury capture.
With the advent of advanced
PAC products, a small variation
in the efficacy of the PAC can
result in a large swing in cost
of compliance. Due to our
focus on the mercury control
market, we have developed
a QA/QC protocol specifically
focused on performance in
flue gas environments. If you
have tested the performance of
alternative PAC products in your
plant, the next challenge is to
ensure consistent performance
over time. Ask us about our
approach to ensure consistent
and reliable PAC performance
