The document discusses why CleanAir's MET-80 is the best solution for mercury monitoring under the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) regulation. It notes that MATS requires 24/7 mercury monitoring and compliance starts in less than 8 months. It then summarizes CleanAir's experience with mercury monitoring systems, including over 40 MET-80 systems installed prior to MATS with millions of operating hours, and their focus on reliability, robustness, and support.

1. Why CleanAir’s MET-80 is the
BEST SOLUTION for mercury
monitoring under MATS.

2. So, MATS requires utilities
to monitor mercury 24/7/365

3. Unless you have an extension,
MATS compliance starts
April 16, 2014

4. THAT’S LESS THAN
8 MONTHS AWAY

5. It feels like we’ve been here before…

6. Remember CAMR?

7. Utilities spent
$millions on
mercury CEMS
hardware as they
prepared for
CAMR

8. A lot of it didn’t work…

9. or it cost a fortune to operate…

10. OR BOTH!

11. Lucky for
them, most
plants didn’t
need it…
The rule was
vacated by the
courts in 2008

12. Recognizing the deficiency in Hg
CEMS, a few plants went with
sorbent trap systems instead

13. They had their reasons

14.  Cheaper than CEMS
 Back-up for CEMS
 More sensitivity than
CEMS
 More reliable than CEMS
 Simpler than CEMS

15. CleanAir created the MET-80 in
2004 to address these customers’
needs

16. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap
systems (aka Appendix K
Samplers) were essentially re-
purposed stack testing
equipment

17. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap
systems (aka Appendix K Samplers)
were essentially re-purposed stack
testing equipment
They were viewed as back-ups to the
primary CEMS, not known for their long-
term reliability

18. They were viewed as back-ups to the primary
CEMS, not known for their long-term reliability
They were kind of cheap

19. They were viewed as back-ups to the primary
CEMS, not known for their long-term reliability
They were kind of cheap
And they were giving the technology a bad reputation

20. We designed the
MET-80 from the
ground up to be
the Primary
Mercury
Monitoring
System

21. And we had a philosophy…

22. It would be reliable
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

23. It would be reliable
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
> 95% availability

24. It would be robust
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

25. It would be robust
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Able to handle the worst stack
and weather conditions out
there, 24/7/365

26. It would be simple
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

27. It would be simple
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
A technician could operate and
maintain it on their first day

28. It would be CEMS-like
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

29. It would be CEMS-like
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Integratable, rack-mounted,
industry-standard components and
quality manufacturing

30. We succeeded

31. The first compliance-reporting
sorbent trap mercury
monitoring systems in the U.S.
were at Dominion’s Salem
Harbor Power Station.
And they were…

32. The first compliance-reporting
sorbent trap mercury
monitoring systems in the U.S.
were at Dominion’s Salem
Harbor Power Station.
And they were…
Three MET-80s, Fully integrated, certified, and
reporting for the Massachusetts Mercury Rule

33. The industry took note…

44. MATS-Tailored Software

45. We installed 33 systems prior to
the vacatur of CAMR in 2008

46. We installed another 10
systems post-CAMR for
state permitting
purposes

47. In total, prior to MATS,
CleanAir installed over 40
MET-80s for the utilities

48. 35 of these systems are
still in operation today

49. 7 years and counting for
the oldest

50. It all adds up to a lot
of operating experience!

65. Why MET-80?

66. Three good reasons…
