Lime injection in fuel to reduce Sulphur and its emission levels in the stack

How is this technology working to reduce Sulphur in the fuel in thermal power plants. What is its by product and can that be sold? Is this system economical for reducing a 8 % Sulphur in the fuel? Is the operating cost of Lime and crushing expensive?What are the handling system needs for such a system? Please throw some light on these aspects If any one has practical experience I would like to correspond with them separately also. 7 days ago

SanjibUnfollow Follow Sanjib Sanjib Mukherjee Limestone reactivity and sulphur capture is better if combustion temperature is within 850 ~ 925 deg. c, at elevated temperature limestone reactivity is low. That's why CFB combustion system is more effective for sulphur capture. You may contact me for further discussion: s_mukherjee35@hotmail.com 6 days ago Unlike Like

RogerUnfollow Follow Roger Roger Hull Hi Sanjib. - I would recommend that the exhaust outlet to stack be increased above the exhaust gas dew point if the site local regulations permit this arrangement. - The cost of the lime and treatment would be in my opinion excessive . the costs of removal of the exhaust system and the associated plant down time when carrying out the cleaning would be saved.

Brad Buecker 8% sulfur is very high, and traditionally wet scrubbing has been used for these types of coals, where the combustion technology is pulverized-coal firing. With the correct conditions (including forced-air oxidation and a high-quality reagent), this process can produce high-grade gypsum, which may then be sold if market demand calls for it. Several of my colleagues and I have many years of direct power plant experience dealing with flue gas desulfurization, particularly in the areas of wet-limestone scrubbing and lime injection to spray dry absorbers. Some of my other colleauges have also recently installed several circulating dry scrubbers, and I have worked with limestone testing in CFB boilers, but with a much lower sulfur content.
