 G.
H. "WIM" MARCHANT, JR.
MRC Consultant
Since 1972, Wim has been involved
with air pollution control research
and evaluations. His work has
included evaluations of
electrostatic precipitators used
with various flue gas
desulfurization processes; flue gas
conditioning agents; hot-side
electrostatic precipitator problems;
pulse energization systems;
particulate generated from
small-scale combustors and synthetic
fuels; rapping re-entrainment from
electrostatic precipitators,
baghouses and scrubbers used in the
cement, nonferrous, paper, and
utility industries. Areas of
research he has been involved with
include; coal ash fouling studies,
NOx reduction techniques;
characterization of fly ash from
various coals and coal-sorbent
combinations; evaluation of coal-sorbent
mixtures for the reduction of SO2
emissions; determination of ash
resistivity in the laboratory and
field; chemical additives on
electrostatic precipitator
performance; and particulate exiting
limestone scrubbers. Wim has also planned, implemented
and managed laboratory and full
scale test programs at domestic and
international sites. He has
consulted with utility personnel
regarding problems with particulate
control devices and has been
involved with evaluations of
particulate and/or control devices
in forty states and six countries.
Training in in situ resistivity
measurements in France and
establishing a Laboratory
Resistivity Measurement facility at
the Indian Institute of Technology
in New Delhi, India are among some
of his international activities. |
