Air quality control
AMEC has more than 30 years of experience in Air Quality Control Systems (AQCS) for large thermal power plants for utility and industrial customers.
Our work includes performing conceptual studies, engineering, design, and construction of major equipment for reduction of particulate, NOX, SOX, HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) and mercury. AMEC provides engineering, procurement and construction of the following major air pollution control equipment for clients worldwide.
- SCR (selective catalytic reduction)
- FGD (flue gas desulphurisation) system
- Baghouse and activated carbon injection systems for mercury control
- CO2 capture and CCS (carbon capture and storage)
Sustainable energy solutions
AMEC is shaping the future of renewable energy with sustainable solutions to the global demand for clean energy, including demand for the following near-term priorities facing the power industry.
- Implementation of efficiency improvement projects (CO2 reduction)
- Preparation of feasibility studies and costs associated with CO2 capture, compression of CO2, pipelines, and sequestration and enhanced oil recovery systems
- Offer a complete solution for CCS at large power plants
- See also CCS under our renewable sector
Industrial boiler MACT support
AMEC is performing studies and planning equipment implementation and boiler replacements in anticipation of new EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines. Industrial and utility boiler MACT (maximum achievable control technology) is a US EPA regulation under preparation and finalisation establishing the MACT for regulated pollutants from industrial and utility boilers, specifically metals/particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, mercury, carbon monoxide, and /or dioxins/furans. MACT limits represent the average of the top performing twelve per cent in the boiler / fuel category.
