1. A method of reducing mercury in a fluid stream using a catalytic bed assembly including at least a first catalytic bed, said method comprising:
- receiving a flow of fluid including mercury at the catalytic bed assembly;
injecting a flow of a compound including ammonia and a first mercury oxidizer upstream of the first catalytic bed; and
oxidizing the mercury using the mercury oxidizer and the catalytic bed assembly.
