Hamon Research-Cottrell - Air Pollution Control

With over 100 years of experience in the field of Air Pollution Control, Hamon Research-Cottrell can address and resolve all of your effluent gas emission reduction needs to meet present and future standards. We design, build and maintain:

 Electrostatic Precipitators

• Ever wondered why the G-OpzelTM precipitator plate design makes it the strongest and most durable on the market?
• Follow our electrostatic precipitator maintenance tips! They can help you save time and money.
• The Precipitator troubleshooting guide is now available!
• With the acquisition of the "Buell/GEESI" ESP design, HRC can provide you with “Buell/GEESI” parts and many other electrostatic precipitator parts in addition to the traditional “Research-Cottrell” design parts.

 Fabric Filter Baghouses

• Fabric filters are playing an ever-increasing role for utility flyash collection as emissions requirements become more strict and as mercury control requirements loom.
• Hamon Research-Cottrell provides a unique technical offering with its Low Pressure High Volume pulse jet design which is especially suited to large coal fired boiler plants.
• Hamon Research-Cottrell specializes in the conversion retrofit of LPHV filters into existing electrostatic precipitator casings – an approach that can save utilities time and money.

 Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems

• Hamon Research-Cottrell offers both rotary atomizer and two fluid nozzle spray dryer/fabric filter dry FGD systems for utility and industrial applications.

 Wet Gas Scrubbers

 Wet Gas Scrubbers Plus

 Thermal DeNOx SNCR Systems

• Hamon Research-Cottrell enjoys the support of Exxon Mobil as its licensor for Exxon Mobil technology for SO2, NOx, and particulate control at petrochemical refineries.
• Hamon Research-Cottrell exclusively provides the ExxonMobil Wet Gas Scrubber system.
• Wet Gas Scrubbing Plus adds integrated NOx absorption to the very successful combined SO2 and particulate control that is favored at refinery FCCU units.

 Urea to Ammonia

• First introduced by HRC in 2000 and now used for 20,000 MW of utility SCR, the patented U2A® technology has become the alternative of choice to the use of anhydrous ammonia.
• Increasing restrictions on the transport of ammonia are expected, shifting the balance further towards the urea based alternative.
• HRC’s U2A installation at DTE/Monroe reported 100% on-line reliability in its most recent operating season.
