Proven and Reliable Systems

Shick has engineered and installed numerous activated carbon handling systems for the reduction of mercury. Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) injected into flue gas is generally regarded as the most effective technology (MACT) for the control of mercury emissions in Municipal Waste Combustors or MWC's.

System Features

• Accurate and Adjustable Feed Control - The system has the ability to automatically or manually increase or decrease the flow of activated carbon as needed for the correct amount of mercury removal.
• Dust Free Operation - Utilizing Shick's labor saving IQC filters.
• Multiple Feed (Train) Systems - Shick often builds in redundant component and controls to help ensure 24/7 operation.
• Proven Design - Numerous systems operating nationwide. These systems can be assembled at Shick which significantly reduces field installation time and cost.
• Consistent flow rates of carbon to the injectors.
• Rail, Truck or Bulk Bag systems available.
