ADA-ES Awarded Contract for Mercury Control System

November 2, 2009 8:30 AM EST

LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADES) today announced that it has been awarded a contract to supply an Activated Carbon Injection ("ACI") system for a new coal-fired generating unit located in the Midwestern United States that will burn low sulfur Powder River Basin ("PRB") coal. ADA-ES expects to deliver this system to the new generating unit by the end of the second quarter of 2010, with startup anticipated in the first quarter of 2011 once the new coal-fired generating facility has been completed.

Dr. Michael Durham, President & CEO of ADA-ES, commented, "This contract is part of a new generation facility currently under construction. The current markets for our mercury control systems and powdered activated carbon sorbents are being driven by regulations in 18 states, new power plants being constructed, and regulations in several Canadian provinces. Once the ACI system is up and running, it will require a continuous supply of activated carbon to control mercury emissions, which will be procured under a separate contract."
