The CleanAir MET-80 is the leading solution for continuous mercury monitoring in the U.S. Developed in 2004 for the now-defuct Clean Air Mercury Rule, the MET-80 has continued to evolve over the years and is in its fourth generation. It is poised to tackle the Utility MATS and Portland Cement MACT mercury monitoring requirements.

1. Why CleanAir’s MET-80 is the BEST SOLUTION for mercury monitoring under MATS.

2. So, MATS requires utilities to monitor mercury 24/7/365

3. Unless you have an extension, MATS compliance starts April 16, 2014

4. THAT’S LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AWAY

5. It feels like we’ve been here before…

6. Remember CAMR?

7. Utilities spent $millions on mercury CEMS hardware as they prepared for CAMR

8. A lot of it didn’t work…

9. or it cost a fortune to operate…

10. OR BOTH!

11. Lucky for them, most plants didn’t need this hardware…
The rule was vacated by the courts in 2008

12. Recognizing the deficiency in Hg CEMS, a few plants went with sorbent trap systems instead

13. They had their reasons

14. 
Cheaper than CEMS

Back-up for CEMS

More sensitivity than CEMS

More reliable than CEMS

Simpler than CEMS

15. CleanAir created the MET-80 in 2004 to address these customers’ needs

16. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment

17. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They were viewed as back-ups to the primary CEMS

18. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They were touted as being “low cost”

19. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
In reality, they were “cheap”

20. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They weren’t reliable

21. Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
And they were giving the technology a bad name.

22. We designed the MET-80 from the ground up to be the Primary Mercury Monitoring System

23. And we had a philosophy…

24. It would be reliable
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

25. It would be reliable
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
> 95% availability

26. It would be robust
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

27. It would be robust
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Able to handle the worst stack and weather conditions out there, 24/7/365

28. It would be simple
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

29. It would be simple
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
A technician could operate and maintain it on their first day

30. It would be low cost… but not “cheap”
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

31. It would be low cost… but not “cheap”
MET-80 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Integrated, rack-mounted, top- notch components, and quality manufacturing

32. We succeeded

33. The first compliance-reporting sorbent trap mercury monitoring systems in the U.S. were at Dominion’s Salem Harbor Power Station.
And they were…

34. The first compliance-reporting sorbent trap mercury monitoring systems in the U.S. were at Dominion’s Salem Harbor Power Station.
And they were…
Three MET-80s, Fully integrated, certified, and reporting for the Massachusetts Mercury Rule

35. The industry took note…

46. MATS-Tailored Software

47. We installed 33 systems prior to the vacatur of CAMR in 2008

48. We installed another 10 systems post-CAMR for state permitting purposes

49. In total, prior to MATS, CleanAir installed over 40 MET-80s for the utilities

50. 35 of these systems are still in operation today

51. 7 years and counting for the oldest

The MATS design is our 4th Generation

66. The word is out…

67. So far this year, 40 MET-80s have been purchased for MATS

68. Why MET-80?

69. Three good reasons…

70. No other sorbent trap system has the installed base and operating hours than the MET-80
1) Experience
