Founded in 1994, Powerspan Corp. has developed proprietary, multi-pollutant control and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology for electric power plants.
Our technologies enable new and existing power plants to meet environmental requirements in a cost-effective manner. Our patented Electro-Catalytic Oxidation (ECO®) multi-pollutant technology provides high removal of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), oxidized mercury, and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) from coal-fired power plants, while our ECO-SO2 scrubbing technology provides equivalent multi-emissions control, but without NOx removal. Our ECO2 carbon capture technology is designed as an add-on system that can be deployed when needed.
Powerspan’s history dates back to 1994 when co-founders S. Edward Neister, a physicist; Nathaniel M. Johnson, an electrical engineer; and Frank Alix, a nuclear engineer with experience in venture investing, founded Zero Emission Technology Inc. The company’s initial product was designed to improve the performance of a power plant’s existing particulate control equipment.
As we grew, our technology evolved into an integrated multi-pollutant control process, in anticipation of requirements related to the Clean Air Act. Reflecting our focus on next generation clean energy technology for the electric power industry, Zero Emissions Technology became Powerspan Corp. in 2000.
Since then we have field tested our multi-pollutant control technology, which we now offer commercially. Since 2004, we have been developing and testing a carbon capture process for power plants and today, we are considered a leading provider of carbon capture technology.
The timeline below chronicles our history and highlights significant company, technology, and partner milestones.
Carbon Capture-Ready Multi-Pollutant Control and Carbon Capture Solutions to Meet Requirements Today and in the Future
Powerspan offers advanced, air pollution control solutions for existing and new coal-fired power plants and large, industrial applications that rely on coal for their operation or electricity generation. Our solutions offer lower cost, higher performance, and are aimed at future requirements, not those of the past.
We provide proprietary multi-pollutant control technology, with or without nitrogen oxide (NOX) control, and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology with the following solutions:
Key advantages of our ECO and ECO-SO2 multi-pollutant control solutions are:
Key advantages of our ECO2 carbon dioxide capture process are:
At Powerspan we invest considerably in Research and Development, and we work in close COLLABORATION with our customers to ensure our development efforts result in scalable, reliable, cost-effective solutions.
In addition to offering our proprietary technology for capturing CO2, Powerspan supplies integrated, process-based systems for use in laboratories, field testing, and commercial environments. We have designed, built, commissioned, and operated units from small bench-top research systems to small-scale field units to full-size commercial demonstration units located in some of the most demanding environments—flue gas cleaning at commercial power plants. Powerspan has more than 15 years experience designing, building, and operating integrated process-based systems that are heavily instrumented, automated, and built for some of the harshest operating environments.
