Calgon Carbon Awarded $25M Contract For Mercury Removal

Calgon Carbon Corporation announced recently that it has been awarded a contract by a major U.S. power generator to supply FLUEPAC activated carbon products to remove mercury from the flue gas of one or more coal-fired power plants in the Midwest. Under terms of the guaranteed contract, the customer has agreed to purchase over the next five years a minimum amount of activated carbon valued at $25M. The contract is contingent upon the customer obtaining satisfactory regulatory treatment.

The five-year contract extends from 2009 through 2014, with significant quantities scheduled for purchase in 2010 and beyond. Under terms of the contract, the customer may purchase more than the minimum requirements in years 2010 through 2014. The contract can be extended for up to three additional five-year periods.

Commenting on the contract, Robert P. O'Brien, Calgon Carbon's senior vice president — Americas, said, "We are very pleased that another major U.S. power generator has selected our company's powdered activated carbon for mercury removal. We look forward to providing this critical product to other customers as this important market develops."
