actually no

there is no formal statement by Ash Grove that there ever was an MBS test at any of its plants.

The alleged GTGP MBS hot run test at some cement plant turned out to be bogus, as witnessed by the resulting report that was made public.



Something to keep in mind is that a full-scale implementation of the MBS technology was conducted at an Ash Grove Cement Company plant in 2012. The combined testing of MBS, and PAC products reduced and remediated mercury emissions by 97% with no plant modifications. With modifications, testing consistently exceeded 98%, which is the upcoming EPA requirement, and is already required by many State Environmental Agencies. PAC, or B-PAC alone do not meet the required percentage reduction. There is a place at the table for MBS, and it is only a matter of time imo.
GTGP/J3/EMHI/SLUP are all interrelated for now.

Something to keep in mind is that full-scale implementation of B-PAC technology has been ongoing the last several years at numerous plants throughout the USA and verified to work, by third party labs. B-PAC is what is referenced by EPA with, "through currently available technology," to meet upcoming regulatory requirements for existing and new construction.

The testing of MBS (as an additive to PAC) with PAC being the main remediation ingredient, is claimed to have removed mercury emissions from an unknown cement plant. This, according only to the MBS vendor, has never been third-party verified to actually work as claimed.

PAC and B-PAC alone will easily meet the required percentage reduction, and is doing so right now. There is a place at the table for MBS as an additive to PAC, but the industry is using B-PAC right now. It is not a matter of time, as contracts are being awarded for B-PAC right now.

GTGP/J3/EMHI/SLUP are all interrelated for now.
Market understands and has spanked GTGP/EMHI/SLUP.

Now, why would that be?
