Carnegie, PA (MMD Newswire) August 15, 2012 -- Breen Energy Solutions (breenes.com) announced today the approval of a U.S. patent for its method and apparatus for detection, measurement and control of sulfur trioxide and other condensables in flue gas. The patent includes detection and measurement of ammonium bi-sulfate and sodium bi-sulfate in addition to sulfur trioxide. The patent also covers feedback control of sorbent additives into the flue gas of coal-fired generation plants. Sorbents covered include the raw elements and compounds of ammonia, calcium, sodium and magnesium.

"At Breen our goal is to continually bring new technologies and methodologies to better detect, measure and control acid gases produced when burning coal," said Cal Lockert, Breen President. "Coal is a part of the fuel flexibility model that we're helping utilities and electricity producers attain."

Breen's Acid Gas and Condensables Management solution set includes DSI (Dry Sorbent Injection) demonstrations and operations, MATS compliance solutions (EPA's mercury and air toxics standards) and FLGR (Fuel Lean Gas Reburn) for NOx and SOx compliance. Breen is working with dozens of coal-fired plants to maximize efficiency and reduce acid gas management concerns. For more information, visit www.breenes.com.

Breen Energy Solutions, LLC (BES) provides acid gas management solutions to the Fossil Fuel Power Generation Industry. The company formed in 2002 with the mission to develop and apply new ideas and technologies to help utilities manage their emissions and Balance-Of-Plant impacts resulting from emissions control technologies.

The DSI Division conducts Dry Sorbent Injection demonstrations for SO3 mitigation using Lime, Trona and other dry sorbents. BES also performs wet sorbent injection using Magnesium Oxide for slag control and SO3 mitigation.

Breen helps plants meet regulatory compliance mandates such as MATS and CSAPR with a solution set that includes DSI, FLGR, acid gas measurement and more. Breen's Fuel Flexibility solutions utilize interlocking technologies for measuring and tuning both combustion and emission control systems to maximize output while mitigating acid gas.

BES commercialized several technologies in the Acid Gas Management field including the AbSensor - SO3/AbS measurement system, the Breen Online Air Heater Model and the Dynamic Speed Controlled (DySC) Air Heater Sootblowing technology. For more information, visit www.breenes.com
