WORTHINGTON, Ohio, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Midwest Energy Emissions Corp (OTCQB: MEEC) announced today that it had signed an agreement forming a cooperative marketing relationship with Power and Industrial Services Corporation of Donora, PA.  Going forward, ME2C and Power and Industrial Services will jointly market Midwest's patented mercury removal technology and Power and Industrial's power plant equipment supply capabilities for injection systems and chemical inventory silos.

Alan Kelley, President of Midwest Energy Emissions commented, "This arrangement makes a lot of sense for both our companies.  Midwest achieves greater exposure to the market place through a power plant equipment supplier with a great reputation for the quality of its products, and Power and Industrial gains the sales support of Midwest as we expand our offering from just the chemical product and technology licensing to the full suite of equipment needed for our process."

Larry Shekell, President of Power and Industrial Services stated, "We look forward to working together with Midwest Energy Emissions as we build upon our current offerings to provide mercury emissions control injection systems and sorbent silo equipment that offers clear advantages over the equipment that the industry provides today."
