Luckily, ADA Carbon Solutions’ Dynamic Mercury Index test has been developed to ensure consistent quality of sorbents used in activated carbon injection.

Problem
A Florida pulp and paper mill faced a complicated, dangerous process to clean its power boiler during scheduled outages.
Previous efforts to clean the boiler included manual water blasting from scaffolding, which posed a safety risk to workers below due to the potential for falling debris.
Solution
The Operations team at MPW Industrial Services recommended that the facility’s
