EPA Regulations: CSAPR, MACT and HAPs
With the promulgation of several new and revised regulations, including CSAPR and ICI Boiler and Utility Boiler MACTs, many are looking for ways to comply in a relatively short period of time, as deadlines often do not wait for long analyses. Consider SOLVAir Solutions' Select 200 trona or Select 300 or 350 sodium bicarbonate, all of which have track records of knocking out HAPs and SOx when used in a Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) system. An important SOx and HCl mitigation technology, a DSI system utilizing sodium sorbents offers low capital cost, small installation footprint, ease of operation, and flexibility of response to changing fuels. It can be installed quickly and could help you get your site compliant in short order.

Target Pollutants
SOLVAir Solutions helps eliminate or control HAPs pollutants such HCl, as well as SO2, SO3, NOx, mercury (Hg) and particulates in stack gases.

Industries Served
In coal-fired power plants, energy-from-waste power plants, industrial boilers and municipal waste incinerators, SOLVAir Solutions effectively reduces or eliminates these pollutants.

SOLVAir® Products
SOLVAir products include SOLVAir Select 200 and 150 trona, and Select 350 and 150 sodium bicarbonate, and are the direct approach for air pollution control. Whether in wet or dry scrubbers or Dry Sorbent Injection systems, these are the products your plant needs to clear the air.

With all the talk about compliance with CSAPR and regulations on HAPs, concerns may be on your mind about the availability of these sodium sorbents. At SOLVAir Solutions, we want to assure you that product is available for dedicated customers. Located in Green River, Wyoming, our trona mine is situated on the largest trona deposit in the world. This site is estimated to hold as much as 47 billion tons of trona.
