MERCURY CONTROL 2018

DECEMBER 6/7, 2018 MARITIM proArte Hotel Berlin BERLIN / GERMANY

VGB WORKSHOP

VGB WORKSHOP “MERCURY CONTROL 2018” BERLIN | GERMANY

For mercury removal the operators of coal-fired power plants have a great challenge to meet the new emission limit values, which will become mandatory in the next years. Therefore, VGB offers a platform for an international exchange of ideas and experience.

The workshop focuses on four main topics:

- Monitoring aspects - FGD behaviour - Research results - Plant experiences

Presentations by specialists from all over Europe and overseas provide a basis for a fruitful and interesting discussion.
