| In-line Powdered Activated Carbon Injection (PACI) or the Totally
Enclosed Treatment System (TETS[TM]) is currently recognized as the Best
Available Control Technology (BACT) by the EPA for removing mercury from
off-gases from furnaces being directed to dry emission control
equipment, Fabric Filters (Baghouses). Currently, according to Romero, the industry relies on techniques
