### Economical and Robust Performance
Amended Silicates is an innovative mineral-based product that removes mercury from stack emissions via chemical reaction rather than through traditional adsorption mechanisms. Amended Silicates provides economical, consistent and robust performance across the variety of power-plant configurations and operating conditions, while preserving fly ash value. Amended Silicates is nonflammable, has exceptional SO 3 tolerance, is less corrosive to the balance of

Amended Silicates HgX (AS-HgX TM ) is an enhanced version of Novinda’s original reagent for mercury emissions capture, delivering even greater performance to meet the stringent EPA Mercury & Air Toxics Standards (MATS). Economically, AS-HgX offers an extraordinary value. Commercially available at the same cost as brominated powder activated carbon, AS-HgX delivers dramatically greater performance and typically requires less product than carbon-based alternatives. With AS-HgX, power plant operators benefit from improved mercury capture at a lower cost, without corrosion to the balance of plant.
Available performance results for AS-HgX are based on side-by-side testing at a number of full-scale, coal-fired power plants conducted throughout 2012 and through 2014. AS-HgX is commercially available for testing and long-term supply contracts.

An extremely fine powder, Novinda’s Amended Silicates is injected directly into a plant’s post-combustion flue gas stream. There it reacts chemically with vaporphase mercury to create a harmless, non-flammable, and non-corrosive solid compound that is effectively captured by the plant’s particulate control system.

How does it work Novinda.htm [9/14/2015 4:49:37 PM] The resulting compound, unlike carbon-based products, does not prevent the use of the plant’s fly ash for concrete or block production, eliminating the need for costly landfill disposal while creating a tangible revenue source for plant operators. Equally important, the reaction product, when stored in holding ponds, does not leach mercury, nor heavy metals, limiting potential harm to area groundwater supplies. Use of Amended Silicates also avoids aquatic toxicity due to bromine in wastewater and holding ponds, rapidly becoming a greater concern for utilities with wet scrubbers utilizing brominated products and halogens.
