USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...

Wet scrubbers and dry media dust collectors are two very different technologies used to capture combustible dusts generated during production processes. These processes include but are not limited to ...

In Part I of this two-part report ( COAL POWER, July/August 2007, p. 22), we introduced the integrated R&D effort by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) to ...

In coal-fired power plants, measurement and control of pH is critical to the efficient operation of wet flue gas scrubbers. However, harsh process conditions can necessitate frequent cleaning and ...

A new analysis of data collected from various field tests allows more accurate estimations of sulfuric acid emissions from FCC units equipped with wet gas scrubbers. FCC units are potential sources of ...

Are you using your flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system to its highest potential? You might not be if you’re not making it do double duty. It seems that million ...
