• FGD - Flue Gas Desulphurization for SO₂ and mercury control
• CEM - Continuous Emissions Monitoring and Ontario Hydro Method
• Flue Gas Conditioning – SO₃ and NH₃ for improved ESP performance
• SO₃ Plume – mitigation of plume SO₃ through sorbent injection
• Clean Coal Technologies - criteria pollutants reduction and CO₂, costs etc.
• Distributed Generation Technologies – impact of small-scale generation on CO₂ emissions
• Renewable Energy Technologies – biomass co-firing, landfill gas applications, biodiesel, etc.

Emissions Control

• ACI injection and oxidants at full-scale and pilot plants
• SCR impacts on mercury speciation on full-scale and pilot scale
• Wet FGD impacts on mercury control and re-emission
• Multi-pollutant control - pilot demo at full scale
• Mercury control for sub-bituminous coals and lignites on pilot and full scale

Measurements

• Pilot scale CEM measurements at CETC facility
• Measurements at OPG coal plants (Ontario Hydro method)
• Evaluation of mercury CEMS at OPG plants

Environmental Impact Modeling
