What is Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) and How Does It Work in India?
Understanding Sulfur in Flue Gas
India relies heavily on coal as one of its primary fuels to generate electricity; however, burning this type of coal releases sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas which contributes to acid rain and air pollution, further compounding matters and raising concerns among environmental activists and officials alike. With rising environmental standards and regulations becoming ever more stringent, controlling emissions has never been more crucial.
Flue Gas Desulfurization offers India the solution. Employed by industries and power plants alike to lower sulfur dioxide emissions into the environment, Flue Gas Desulfurization plays a critical role in India's efforts towards cleaner energy; protecting both public health and environmental safety along the way.
What Is Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD)?
Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems (FGDS) offer an efficient means of eliminating sulfur dioxide emissions from exhaust and industrial emissions by treating it before release into the environment.
Wet-limestone technology is one of the more commonly utilized FGD processes in India. This FGD method involves passing flue gasses over spraying of slurry limestone; when sulfur dioxide reacts with it, gypsum forms as an invaluable by-product that can be utilized as building material.
How Does Flue Gas Desulphurization Work?
1. Flue Gas Collection: Flue gases can be collected directly from boilers or furnaces.
2. Cooling and Scrubbing : After cooling the hot gas, it will pass through a scrubber where it meets with limestone slurry for further processing.
3. Chemical Reaction: Sulfur dioxide reacts with calcium carbonate to produce calcium sulfite which then gets turned into gypsum for further use.
4. Discharge: Clean gas with reduced sulfur levels is released through the chimney.
5. Gypsum Reclamation: Gypsum waste products can be collected, filtered and reused across a range of industries.
