European Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)

The European Council of Ministers and the European Parliament have formed the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) to regulate pollutant emissions by industrial power plants. The IED will most significantly regulate nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate emissions.

The IED covers power plants with a rated thermal input larger than 50 MWth that burn coal, lignite and biomass, among other fuels. Air pollutants that are regulated include dust (fine particulate), SO2, NOx, CO, heavy metals (including mercury) and dioxin/furan.

Nalco Mobotec analysts can help you answer questions like:

  • What are my current IED emissions?
  • What are my options for meeting emissions limits?
  • What exact sorbent flow rates do I need?
  • Will one solution impact other emissions?
