SO2 removal in a wet scrubber is controlled by how much SO2 can be absorbed per unit volume of recirculated slurry. This is referred to as absorption.

SO2 absorption is partly a function of the physical design of the absorber, which sets the gas-slurry contact area. Improving the contact between the gas and slurry, therefore, can help increase SO2 removal, as well as provide ancillary benefits. Read about two such proven methods in this article.

A performance or engineering study is an important first step in determining where efficiency improvements in your boiler may be realized. As you seek to get the most from your operating assets, our field service engineers can assist you in optimizing your boiler and boiler island equipment.

Let us help you get started by reviewing your pulverizers, burners, igniters, sootblowing equipment and controls, among other key areas of your plant.

Our focus on safety extends to our employees, customers, contractors, suppliers, and all those who we interact with, whether on a job site, in a manufacturing facility, or even in an office setting.

While certainly not an exclusive list, we’ve identified 15 safety precautions to follow when working in or near a boiler or other equipment found at power plants.

Controlling all phases of a construction project is vital for safe and successful project execution.

Read about the three primary goals of utilizing construction project controls and the two steps of the basic control process in this primer. Analysis of lessons learned (both positive and negative) are documented and prove useful for future performance improvements.

Results from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling can be used in a wide range of applications.

This article shows how recovery boiler operational factors such as liquor spray distribution, air jet penetration, gas velocity and furnace temperature can be modeled to determine potential upgrades for optimal boiler performance.
