Services for More Cost Effective Air Pollution Control

" Andover Technology Partners worked with us to determine what we could do with existing hardware. We were surprised and very pleased with the results. We found the services instrumental in helping us develop a cost-effective approach for NOx compliance at our coal-fired Edge Moor units."

- Mike Maziarz, Connectiv (Formerly Delmarva Power and Atlantic Electric)

ATP assists clients using or considering the use of emission reduction technologies at their facilities and will work to ensure the client’s emission reduction program proceeds smoothly and at the lowest possible cost. We can perform the following services:

Develop compliance strategies, including integration of allowance trading strategies to develop business risk profiles
Optimize existing systems
Evaluate SCR catalyst management plans using proven, proprietary software
Review/Prepare Technical Specifications
Evaluate Quotations and Budgets

Follow up optimization and support

We've assisted Connectiv (formerly Delmarva) reduce NOx compliance costs at their Edge Moor Plant

The ATP difference is a unique combination of

Insight and Experience

With extensive experience as a technology developer, a technology vendor, and a consultant, Dr. Staudt, ATP’s founder, understands both the limitations and capabilities of applying emissions control technology on actual electric utility and industrial facilities. However, in addition to practical know-how, Dr. Staudt has the training and analytical skills that give him the insight to identify solutions that other consultants frequently miss. His experience includes:

Development of comprehensive mercury and multipollutant control emission control cost and performance estimating models (see more below)
Assisting utilities and industrial facilities with emission control strategy analysis.
Development of NOx reduction technologies in use on hundreds of facilities
Design, Installation and Start Up of SNCR and SCR systems on thousands of megawatts of utility capacity
Commercial sale of SNCR and SCR systems on thousands of megawatts of utility capacity
Developing Strategies for Compliance, including comprehensive technology and financial analysis
Solving problems for users of SCR and SNCR systems – frequently after other consultants had tried and failed
Developing Tools and Documentation for SCR, SNCR and mercury reduction technology users – tools that let users easily perform sophisticated analysis and planning, and documentation that provides users valuable information on how to operate their facilities more effectively.

All of the clients that bought equipment from Dr. Staudt when he was at previous employers continue to use him as their consultant. And, many new clients have called on ATP to solve problems that other consultants missed. Contact ATP and experience the difference.

Our Integrated Air Pollution Control Technology Model includes cost and performance models for all of the technologies listed in the table below. It has been thoroughly tested and has been used to assess the cost of controlling mercury. It develops comprehensive cost and performance estimates for all of the technologies listed below. A library of fuels enables the analysis of different fuels under a range of boiler conditions. Or, the specific fuel characteristics can be input. It performs mass balances for all exhaust gas constituents, reagents, by-products, and other consumables, including parasitic power. It is the most up to date and comprehensive model that we are aware of for this purpose. For information on how this model has been used to estimate the cost of mercury controls, go to
