Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. Announces the Opening of Its
Southwest U.S. Operations Facility
WORTHINGTON,
OH--(Marketwired - June 10, 2014) - Midwest
Energy Emissions Corp. (OTCQB: MEEC)
announced today that it has opened the doors to a new 7,000 square
foot mixing and distribution facility in Freestone County,
Texas. The facility is being used to support all regional
operations for the Company's mercury-capture projects, with initial
product mixing and related supply beginning this month.
The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan Kelley
stated, "Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. has achieved another
important growth milestone with the commissioning and opening of
this mixing and distribution facility. We have committed to
sourcing the best equipment and people to properly support the
contract wins that we have attained in the early part of this year
as well as any further business that we hope to win in the
Southwest, U.S. Our commitment to customer service and project
risk management is supported with the addition of this facility,
which will also act as a major hub as our Company grows with MATS
regulations just around the corner."
The Company employs patented and proprietary technologies to
remove mercury from coal-power plant emissions. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Mercury and Air Toxic
Standards (MATS) rule requires that all coal- and oil-fired
power plants in the U.S., larger than 25 mega-watts, must remove
roughly 90% of mercury from their emissions by April 16,
2015. ME2C employs patented technology that has been shown to
achieve mercury removal levels compliant with MATS at a
significantly lower cost and with less operational impact than
currently used methods, while preserving the marketability of
fly-ash for beneficial use.
Mr. Kelley concluded, "Intense work has already begun on our
recently announced contracts, both at our facility and in the
field, with system installation and testing beginning now. We are
excited about this phase of execution, and look forward to further
developments in our company's growth efforts in the coming
year."
