IMPROVING THE AIR QUALITY DECISION PROCESS
Tougher power plant air emission limits in the EU and a wave of new coal fired power plants in Europe and the rest of the world require a large number of critical decisions by power plant owners. These decisions encompass monitoring and removal of, particulate, Nox, SO2 , SO3, and mercury. With changing coal sources which also affect decisions, the owner cannot just rely on past experience but needs to fully evaluate all the options and possible conditions.
POWER-GEN Europe provides a unique opportunity to help power professionals successfully navigate the complex air quality decision process. In conjunction with the McIlvaine Company, POWER-GEN Europe is providing delegates with free assistance in the following ways:
(1) Preliminary preparation for the conference with one week of free access to the Mcilvaine on line Power Plant Air Quality Decisions plus detailed information on the POWER-GEN Exhibitors with relevant products.

(2) Coordination for the delegates with key exhibitors, speakers, and other experts during the convention.

(3) Small discussion groups which will meet at the Internet Café or at exhibitor stands at times and on subjects to be determined by the interests of the delegates.
