Emission control for fluid catalytic cracking units
Optimize your refinery’s emission control by reducing SOx levels and eliminating sulfuric acid mist, ensuring cleaner flue gases and compliance with environmental standards.
Removes Contaminants from Refinery Flue Gas
The EP Absorber from GEA is an advanced electrostatic precipitator absorber designed specifically for refinery applications, effectively removing sulfuric acid mist and particulates from flue gas. Featuring a unique combination of wet scrubbing and electrostatic precipitation, this compact system operates at inlet gas temperatures up to 600°C. It excels in reducing SOx emissions and heavy metals, providing cleaner air outputs. Its design includes a robust, vertical tube configuration with heavy-duty discharge electrodes, offering continuous and high-capacity performance with low energy consumption. The inclusion of wet scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators results in effective gas cooling and absorption, while the special treatment of the collecting surfaces ensures efficient liquid film formation. This equipment is vital for oil, gas, and refinery industries looking to enhance environmental operations with minimal maintenance and enhanced operational life.
