·Taking a 200 MW coal fired power plant in North China with a limestone gypsum wet desulfurization system transformation project as an example the effect of energy saving transformation of the
tonnes of limestone annually for operating FGD systems This is less than three per cent of India s present limestone consumption Moreover regional distribution of limestone reserves shows that access will not be a problem as a majority of power plants are located within 200 km of a limestone mine For FGD high quality limestone CaCO 3
·The desulfurization efficiency decreases with the increase of concentration of SO 2 in flue gas When the four spray levels are in operation Chinese emission standard of SO 2 of flue gas of boiler in power plant can be met even when the flue gas flux increased to 1 200 000 N m 3 /h and the concentration of SO 2 in flue gas increase to 5000 mg
·Coal fired power plants account for a large share of the power generation market in China The mainstream method of desulfurization employed in the coal fired power generation sector now is wet flue gas desulfurization This process is known to have a high cost and be energy /materially intensive Due to the complicated desulfurization
Control and Treatment of Air Emissions Shahryar Jafarinejad in Petroleum Waste Treatment and Pollution Control 2017 Flue Gas Desulfurization Flue gas desulfurization FGD is a scrubbing technique that uses an alkaline reagent typically a sodium or calcium based alkaline regent to remove SO 2 from flue gas Tri State
·In a recent article for Power Engineering [1] I wrote about the special properties of limestone and especially high purity stone that have made it a common flue gas desulfurization reagent for
·Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization WFGD unit based upon spray scrubber has been widely employed to control SO2 emissions from flue gas in coal fired power plant
·Flue gas desulfurization Flue gas desulfurization is commonly known as FGD and is the technology used for removing sulfur dioxide SO 2 from the exhaust combustion flue gases of power plants that burn coal oroil to produce steam for the turbines that drive their electricity generators
Comparing Lime and Limestone SO 2 Wet Scrubbing Processes More than ninety percent of flue gas desulfurization FGD system capacity uses lime or limestone This trend will likely continue into the next phase of federally mandated SO 2 reduction from coal burning power plants In 2003 the National Lime Association sponsored a study by
