  3. Hand-outs for Theme 4 • PPT material on Flue gas cleaning • Absorption with chemical reaction • PPT material • Gas-Liquid Reactions (mini-compendium) • Absorber Design (mini-compendium) • Solutions to exercises • Text description of compulsory task 4

  4. Flue gas cleaning Removal of gaseous and particulate polutants from flue gases generated by stationary combustion plants • Coal or oil fired power plants • Gas turbines • Soda boilers • Biomass fired heating plants • Waste fired combustion plants Flue gas cleaning is only one of generic technologies for emissions control

  5. Proclamation in 1276 ”Whosoever shall be found guilty of burning coal, shall suffer the loss of his head” King Edward I

  6. Roster (moving grate) boiler

  7. “Plug-flow” boiler (PB)

  8. Atomspheric fluidized bed (AFBC)

  9. Circulating fluidized bed (CFBC)

  10. Pressurized fluidized bed (PFBC)

  11. Exampel of different cleaning technologies

  12. Generic problems • Combustion plants are not classified as traditional process industry • Flue gas cleaning plants are based on technology emerged from the process industry • Utility companies require simple technology, the process industry uses complex technology but cheap feed-stocks • The utility industry requires 25 years of capital depreciation, the process industry 10 years at the most

  13. Flue gas content • Inert components • Nitrogen, water and oxygen • Toxic components • Fly ash, trace metals, hydrocarbons, dioxines and POM • Acidic species • Sulfur oxides (SO2, SO3), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2) and halogen acids (HCl, HF, HBr) • Greenhouse gases • Carbon dioxide (CO2) and laughing gas (N2O)

  14. Decision tree for emissions control

  15. Feed-stocks and products • Principle: Pollutant + Reagent  Product • Problem • Cost of reagent • Secondary pollutants • Alternatives: • Reagent • Throwaway • Useful by-product • Becomes inert • Recycled • No reagent • Pollutant • Throwaway • Useful by-product • Becomes inert

  16. Residual products • Waste-water • Solid waste • Sludge • By-products Residual products might contain • Ash • Sulfur species • Nitrogen species • Chlorides • Heavy metals • Traces of organics

  17. Removal of particulates PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF PARTICULATES • Ashes from the fuel Minerals, un-combusted, trace elements • Bottom ash • Fly ash • Reagents and products Calcium compounds, etc. • Generic removal principles • Cyclones • Wet scrubbers/Absorption towers • Electrostatic precipitators • Baghouse filters

  18. Trace metals Content of trace metals in waste product from desulfurization process based on spray drying. Major constituents are calcium sulfite and fly ash.

  19. Cyclones for particulate removal

  20. Electrostatic precipitators

  21. ESP Unit

  22. Baghouse filter

  23. Flue-gas desulfurization • The Wellman-Lord Process • Sulfuric acid, elemental sulfur or sulfur dioxide • The Walter Process • Ammonium sulfate • The activated coke • Sulfuric acid • Spray-Dry Scrubbing (Wet-Dry Scrubbing) • Dry calcium sulfite • Dry injection • Mixed product containing calcium sulfite • Wet FGD • Gypsum or sludge of calcium sulfite

  24. Spray-Dry Scubbing • Spray-drying of a lime slurry Ca(OH)2 + SO2F CaSO3 + H2O

  25. Wet Flue Gas desulfurization Process Typical Process schematic

  26. Wet Flue-Gas Desulfurization (WFGD) • The process is based on a slurry of slaked lime • Ca(OH)2 + SO2 CaSO3 + H2O • or • Limestone • CaCO3 + SO2 CaSO3 + CO2 • Oxidation may occur • CaSO3 + ½ O2 CaSO4 • Limestone is a mineral that has to be ground, lime is obtained by calcination (heat requirement) of limestone and slaked by the use of water • CaCO3CaO + CO2 • CaO + H2O  Ca(OH)2 Presently, the cost determines how reagent is selected!!!!

  27. Schematic reaction mechanism • Absorption step • SO2 + H2O  HSO3- + H+ • H+ + SO32-  HSO3- • Limestone dissolution • CaCO3 + 2H+  Ca2+ + H2O + CO2 • Oxidation • SO32- + ½ O2  SO42- • Precipitation • Ca2+ + SO32-  CaSO3 • Ca2+ + SO42-  CaSO4

  28. Important design considerations • Oxidation or not? • Natural oxidation • Forced oxidation • Inhibited oxidation • Important parameters • Removal efficiency • Scrubber design • Limestone grinding • Process chemistry and pH • Additives • Scaling (incrust formation) • Scrubber design • Process chemistry and pH • Degree of oxidation • Corrosion • pH • Materials of construction • Chloride content • Cost • Scrubber size • Energy consumption

  29. Additives and auxillaries • Additives • Adipic acid • Magnesium ion • Thiosulfate or elemental sulfur • Sodium salts • Auxillary equipment • Pre-quencher • Demister/Mist eliminator • Reheater • Grinder • Sludge treater • Thickener • Filter system

  32. The Karlshamn Plant

  33. Flue Gas Denitrification • Nitogen oxides coinsist of 95% NO and 5% NO2 from combustion processes. Fluidized beds might generate some N2O • The generic problem: NO has a low solubility and is not very reactive. • Wet methods • Potasium permanganate • Sodium chlorite • Iron- EDTA • Oxidation-Absorption • Pre-oxidation of NO to NO2 using ozone or chlorine dioxid • Dry processes • The cupper oxide process • Alkalized alumina • Electron beam • Selective non-catalytic oxidation • Selective catalytic oxidation
