“EPA's Industrial Sectors Integrated Solutions (ISIS) Model”
Speaker: Ravi K. Srivastava, PhD, Chief
Air Pollution Technology Branch (APTB)
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development

Dr. Ravi Srivastava is Chief of the Air Pollution Technology Branch (APTB) in Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division (APPCD) of ORD's National Risk Management Research Laboratory. As Chief of APTB, he is responsible for R & D in methods and technologies associated with controlling and characterizing air pollution from major stationary sources. Dr. Srivastava has over 20 years of experience in technologies for controlling emissions from stationary combustion sources. As a key agency expert in air pollution control technologies, he has received numerous awards and commendations, including three EPA Gold Medals. Dr. Srivastava has over 100 technical publications/presentations and one patent in the field of air pollution and its control. He is a frequent speaker at technical conferences and has chaired numerous symposia. He has briefed two EPA Administrators on various aspects of pollution control from stationary sources. In recent years he has focused on the reduction of pollutant emissions from industrial sectors.

Catalysis institute of Siberian Academy of Science

Alexander Zykov
All-Russian Thermal Engineering Institute (VTI), Moscow

Bio: Nick Hutson works in the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division and is located in the Research Triangle Park in central North Carolina. Dr. Hutson's work involves development, testing and demonstration of technologies for the control of air pollutants from stationary sources such as coal burning power plants. He received his PhD from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of
Michigan.

3:50 pm Coffee Break

4:20 pm “Project Proposal, Demonstration of the Effectiveness of Sorbents in Reducing Mercury Emissions at a Russian Coal-Fired Power Plant”
Speaker: Shannon Serre, PhD,Chemical Engineer
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development

Bio: Shannon Serre works at the US EPA office in Research Triangle Park, NC. He began his career with the EPA as a post-doc examining solid sorbents for mercury control. He has been with the EPA for 10 years and is currently involved in technology testing and evaluation. Shannon received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Fuels Engineering from the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, where his dissertation was on using coal fly ash for the removal of mercury from a flue gas stream.

4:50 pm “International Air Pollution Regulations”
Speaker: Stan Durkee
US EPA Office of Research and Development

Bio: Mr. Stanley Durkee is a mercury and air toxics specialist in Washington D.C., with broad general knowledge and experience in various areas, including emissions, exposure and risk assessment. He has assisted ORD's National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) personnel in developing a mercury control (sorbents testing) project, using Russian coal, to be conducted at a Russian power plant. Also, he has worked with NRMRL and other EPA laboratories in identifying scientific issues and providing technical comments with regard to draft EPA proposed industrial source regulations, including power plants, and on pollution reduction strategies He has contributed to various mercury assessments and programs, including EPA’s 1997 Report to Congress on Mercury and EPA’s 2006 Mercury Roadmap. As a U.S. representative to the Arctic Council's Mercury Steering Group, Mr. Durkee has contributed to development of the first 8-country regional mercury release inventory and the first nationwide mercury emissions inventory in the Russian Federation. He has contributed to the U.S. input for various United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) reports, including the 2002 UNEP Global Mercury Assessment,and has served as the U.S. representative to the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership for Air Transport and Fate (chaired by Italy). In addition, he has served on the EPA group that works with the Department of State in staffing overall U.S. mercury positions for UNEP and for the UNEP Governing Council. Mr. Durkee has received various EPA medals.

5:20 pm «Joint Project to Investigate Removal of PM and Mercury by Wet PM Scrubber»
Speaker Alexander Zykov
All-Russian Thermal Engineering Institute (VTI), Moscow

Stanislav Kolesnikov 
Institute of Organic Chemistry (IOC), Moscow 

Bio: A.Zykov is the Chief of Fly Ash Catching and removes NOx Laboratory in All-Russian Thermal Engineering Institute (VTI). In 1980 A. Zykov finished Post-graduate courses at VTI. His work involves development and testing of new technologies to control air pollutants from TPP. The main directions of his work are: Researches of fly ash catching technologies; Development of gas cleaning equipment for TPP. He has more than 50 publications.
