Overview

The current "Green" mindset of government and industry puts coal-fired power plants under increased pressure to remove sulfur dioxide from their exhaust.

In order to make cost-effective decisions and get the maximum benefit from your scrubbers, it is vital to have the best training and information available.

This speciality course meets that need. It begins with basic chemistry concepts and discusses the following methods of scrubbing sulfur dioxide from the flue gas emissions.

  • Calcium-based wet scrubbing
  • Magnesium-based wet scrubbing
  • Dual alkali wet scrubbing
  • Lime spray-drying
  • Wellman Lord Process
  • Alstom Seawter FGD
Attendees will gain a thorough understanding of the chemistry behind the scrubber operation (both fossil scrubber chemistry and lime/limestone process chemistry are covered).

To ensure proper operation of the scrubbers, we have also included analysis and sampling methods, monitoring process performance, and acquiring and handling samples.



Abbreviated Course Outline:

  • Water chemistry concepts


  • Corrosion and corrosion control


  • Fossil scrubber chemistry


  • Lime/limestone process chemistry


  • Limestone scrubber process considerations


  • Monitoring process performance


  • Acquiring and handling samples
