Why CleanAir’s MET-80 is the BEST SOLUTION for mercury monitoring under MATS.

So, MATS requires utilities to monitor mercury 24/7/365

Unless you have an extension, MATS compliance starts April 16, 2014

THAT’S LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AWAY

It feels like we’ve been here before…

Remember CAMR?

Utilities spent $millions on mercury CEMS hardware as they prepared for CAMR

A lot of it didn’t work…

or it cost a fortune to operate…

OR BOTH!

Lucky for them, most plants didn’t need this hardware… The rule was vacated by the courts in 2008

Recognizing the deficiency in Hg CEMS, a few plants went with sorbent trap systems instead

They had their reasons

Cheaper than CEMS Back-up for CEMS More sensitivity than CEMS More reliable than CEMS Simpler than CEMS

CleanAir created the MET-80 in 2004 to address these customers’ needs

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

They were viewed as back-ups to the primary CEMS

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

They were touted as being “low cost”

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

In reality, they were “cheap”

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

They weren’t reliable

Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

And they were giving the technology a bad name.

We designed the MET-80 from the ground up to be the Primary Mercury Monitoring System

And we had a philosophy…

It would be reliable

MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

It would be reliable

> 95% availability

It would be robust

MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Able to handle the worst stack and weather conditions out there,

24/7/365

It would be simple

MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

It would be simple

A technician could operate and maintain it on their first day

It would be low cost… but not “cheap”

Integrated, rack-mounted, top-notch components, and quality

We succeeded

The first compliance-reporting sorbent trap mercury

monitoring systems in the U.S. were at Dominion’s Salem

Harbor Power Station.

And they were…

And they were…

Three MET-80s, Fully integrated, certified, and reporting for the Massachusetts Mercury Rule

The industry took note…

We installed 33 systems prior to the vacatur of CAMR in 2008

We installed another 10 systems post-CAMR for

state permitting purposes

In total, prior to MATS, CleanAir installed over 40 MET-80s for the utilities

35 of these systems are still in operation today

7 years and counting for the oldest

It all adds up to a lot of operating experience!

The MATS design is our 4th Generation

The word is out…

So far this year, 40 MET-80s have been purchased for MATS

Why MET-80?

Three good reasons…

No other sorbent trap system has the installed base and operating hours than the MET-80

1) Experience

No other sorbent trap system has the installed base and operating hours than the MET-80

Literally millions of operating hours…no one comes close
