Atlantic states to Install New technology will be first U.S. Facility to Reduce Mercury emissions

摘要

With an investment of 9-3 million dollars, Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Co., Phillipsburg, N.J., will become the first North American metalcasting facility to implement a mercury emission control system. Expected to be in operation by 2006, the company reported the new technology contained in the system is anticipated to allow Atlantic States to surpass compliance with furnace emission limits required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards under the federal Clean Air Act. The system also allows the company to meet the New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) standards four years before its compliance date of Jan. 1, 2010.
