Amended Silicates vs PAC
- Effective Mercury Capture – Test results demonstrate that Amended Silicates matches or exceeds powdered activated carbon performance across various coal types and power plant emission control configurations.
- Cost Competitive - Amended Silicates is competitive with carbon-based sorbents. As an added bonus, many utilities can save an additional $35/ton of fly ash (fly ash revenue plus avoidance of landfill costs) by selecting Amended Silicates over PAC.
- Concrete Compatible – Amended Silicates is 100% compatible with concrete.
- Preserves Fly Ash Sale Value - Amended Silicates preserves the beneficial use value of fly ash as a replacement for portland cement in concrete, thereby eliminating expensive landfill disposal costs while maintaining the sale value of fly ash.
- Superior Handling Characteristics - As a non-carbon based product, Amended Silicates is non-flammable and has similar chemical and physical properties to fly ash, making it easy to handle and store.
in terms of avoided landfill disposal costs and loss of fly ash value.
