Flue Gas Conditioning

چکیده
Flue gas conditioning (FGC) systems offer an effective option for control of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and enhances the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) when using coal of different properties. The increasing environmental awareness and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) in various countries to thermal power stations using coal-fired boilers for lowering Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) emissions has increased the urgency for reviewing options and alternatives. As compared to ESP retrofits or bag filters, the FGC systems in conjunction with existing EP offer cost effective and flexible alternatives for controlling SPM emission levels. The paper describes recent advances in FGC technologies. Chemithon’s FGC technologies are in use at more than 170 thermal power plants world wide. The presentation reviews the flue gas conditioning technology as well as few case studies for high ash and low sulfur coal and highlights the economic advantages of a cost effective technology option.

Novel catalytic process for flue gas conditioning in electrostatic precipitators of coal-fired power plants.
One of the most important environmental protection problems for coal-fired power plants is prevention of atmospheric pollution of flying ash. The ash particles are typically removed from flue gases by means of electrostatic precipitators, for which the efficiency may be significantly increased by lowering the resistance of fly ash, which may be achieved by controlled addition of microamounts of...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation and Modeling of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption from Model Flue gas
In this work, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from model flue gas on different adsorbents has been investigated. Using simplified modeling, parameters such as the total mass transfer coefficient and the effective diffusivity have been determined. Experiments were carried out in two sections: firstly, adsorption of pure carbon dioxide on different adsorbents was measured at pressures ranging fr...

متن کاملExperimental analysis and model-based optimization of microalgae growth in photo-bioreactors using flue gas
This study tested the growth of three algal species (Chlorella sp., Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, and Tetraselmis suecica) using flue gas (generated by natural gas combustion). All the cultures showed poor biomass growth if they were exposed to continuous flue gas. To optimize the flue gas utilization in algal photo-bioreactors, we performed both model simulations and experimental analysis. First...
