Cement plant flue gas can contain trace amounts of mercury and dioxins, with their concentrations largely dependent on the type of fuel used. Both mercury and dioxins are highly toxic substances, and many countries have implemented strict regulations to limit their emissions.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is a proven and highly effective solution for reducing mercury and dioxin concentrations in cement plant flue gas. As a leader in this application, CarbonFresh has played a pivotal role in enhancing the reliability and cost-efficiency of this technology.

The CarbonFresh activated carbon portfolio provides an ideal and cost-effective foundation for meeting stringent emission standards. Developed and optimized over decades, our products feature a highly advanced mesoporous structure that ensures rapid adsorption kinetics and high capacity. This allows for exceptional removal efficiency even at low dosing rates. We offer a range of PAC grades tailored to specific applications:

• Non-impregnated PAC (various grades): Ideal for removing oxidized mercury and dioxins.

• Impregnated PAC (various grades): Designed to remove metallic mercury, oxidized mercury, and dioxins from flue gas.

At CarbonFresh, our engineers bring extensive expertise in flue gas treatment. We take into account critical factors such as fuel type, combustion efficiency, kiln design, pollution control equipment, contact time, and flue gas temperature to recommend the optimal solution for your facility.

Cement plant flue gas may also contain trace amounts of hydrocarbons, and operators are often required to meet strict regulations for Total Hydrocarbon Content (THC) in stack gas. CarbonFresh has pioneered the use of PAC to effectively reduce THC concentrations in cement plants, successfully helping facilities comply with U.S. regulatory standards.
