THE LEADER IN MERCURY TECHNOLOGY
ADA Environmental Solutions (ADA) has been measuring and controlling mercury at coal-fired power plants for more than a decade. We offer technologies, products, and services to help our clients meet near- and long-term mercury control objectives and can help integrate them with their other pollution control strategies.

ADA has advanced the use of activated carbon sorbents for mercury control in coal-fired power plants. This technology is now recognized as the most cost-efficient and effective control technology for the power industry.

Regardless of what your company’s mercury control needs are, ADA can provide the expertise, products, and services to help you meet emissions regulations. We are so confident in our experience and application of mercury control techniques that we offer Mercury Emissions Control Guarantees with our control systems.


OUR EXPERIENCE
Our experience has been developed through managing more than forty full-scale mercury control projects that have been co-funded by the Department of Energy (DOE/NETL), EPRI, and numerous electric utilities. The overall objective of these projects was to test mercury control techniques on a wide variety of power plant air pollution control configurations and on a variety of coal types.

Through research, development, and testing, ADA expanded our knowledge base, enabling us to offer utilities a complete array of mercury control products and services unmatched by any other company in this industry. No matter what the mercury control needs are for a utility, ADA can provide a solution.
