In addition to the proved application of TMT 15® in scrubbing water from flue gas treatment TMT 15® can also be used directly in the alkaline scrubbers of garbage incineration plants to reduce the emission of mercury in the clean gas. Mercury is precipitated in the scrubbing water. The TMT-mercury-compound is hardly soluble and resistant against temperatures up to 250 °C (480 °F) and as a consequence a reduction to the volatile metallic mercury is inhibited. The precipitated TMT-mercury-compound can either be separated in the waste water treatment plant, or in the spray-dryer of the combustion plant.
