LessIndustry Insights
Mercury emission control
Regulations and standards are being implemented around the world to reduce mercury emissions, which have been proven to cause health issues through the contamination of consumable fish and wildlife.
A significant amount of mercury emissions come from coal that is burned to generate electricity. The toxicity and persistence of mercury in emissions from coal-fired power plants, industrial boilers and cement kilns has caused many state environmental agencies to establish regulatory controls on flue gas emissions. Based on numerous United States Department of Energy and and Environmental Protection Agency sponsored tests and customer trials, our DARCO® Hg family of powdered activated carbon has proven to be a highly effective solution to reduce these mercury emissions.
Clean water
Our activated carbon products enable potable water, wastewater and industrial process water to meet purification, performance and regulatory compliance goals.
Harnessing Energy with Wind Turbines
A critical challenge in maximizing the potential of wind energy is a windmill blade’s length. As blades get longer, they deliver more efficient and more powerful performance.
A strong bonding paste can help prolong the life of a blade, and ultimately enable the manufacturing of even longer blades through more sag-resistant composites. To address this challenge, we offer CAB-O-SIL® ULTRABOND™ high-performance treated fumed silica. This innovative material significantly increases efficiency and performance for windmill blades and wind turbine generators by delivering 25 to 30 percent higher sag resistance (initial and aged), compared to current industry solutions. Our hydrophobic fumed silica can help windmill blade producers meet the toughest requirements and deliver the highest performance.
