Dry sorption system for Sox removal

Optimize your emission control with a dry sorption system designed to efficiently remove SOx and heavy metals from flue gases, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards while operating continuously in demanding industrial environments.

Reduces Acid Gas Emissions in Flue Gas

The Dry Sorption System with Entrained Flow Reactor from GEA is engineered to tackle the complex challenge of flue gas treatment, particularly in fossil-fuelled power plants, waste incinerators, and industrial installations. This system specializes in reducing acid gases—such as SOx—through the injection of dry absorbents like hydrated lime or sodium bicarbonate into the entrained flow reactor, where they chemically react with exhaust gases. The multi-step process culminates in the removal of reaction by-products and particulate matter via downstream equipment like electrostatic precipitators or baghouse filters.

Designed for continuous operation, this system excels in integrating seamlessly into existing emission control lines, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations. With its low CAPEX requirements and small operational footprint, it leverages efficient recirculation and discharge processes to transform pollutants into environmentally manageable compounds such as sulfate compounds and metal oxides. GEA’s system can accommodate various dry reagents, providing flexibility in treating diverse flue gas compositions while maintaining high efficiency.

Benefits

  • Ensures regulatory compliance with efficient SOx and pollutant removal.
  • Minimizes operational costs through low CAPEX investment and small footprint.
  • Offers flexibility with multiple dry reagents for varied gas compositions.
  • Enhances maintenance efficiency with reusable dry reaction by-products.
  • Operates continuously for seamless integration into existing emission control systems.
