In addition, Midwest has the exclusive rights to the EERC Foundation Patent Application in Europe entitled "Sorbents for the Oxidation and Removal of Mercury" which has recently received a "Notice of Allowance".
Midwest Chairman & CEO John Norris commented, "This new patent significantly expands our intellectual property rights to key mercury control technology. Combined with the other patents for which Midwest has the exclusive rights, this intellectual property enables Midwest to be a leading provider of mercury control technologies, especially those involving the use of promoted activated carbon."
