Coal-Fired Power M&O: Enhancing Wet-Limestone Scrubber Efficiency
Fundamental Wet-Limestone Scrubber Chemistry. A generic flow diagram of a wet-limestone scrubber is illustrated in Figure 1. The process is a classic example of an aqueous acid-base chemistry reaction applied on a large industrial scale, where alkaline limestone slurry reacts with acidic sulfur dioxide.

In this regard, the removal of HCl in the flue gas prior to the wet limestone FGD scrubber has been proposed by installing a prescrubber which will capture most of the HCl and thereby ensure a good and constant gypsum quality [40]. However, it is not the usual trend; at most of power plants HCl is absorbed directly in the scrubber. ...

SO 2 removal in a limestone forced oxidized (LSFO) wet scrubber is controlled by how much SO 2 can be absorbed per unit volume of recirculated slurry (lb SO 2 per gallon, or kg per liter). This is referred to as absorption. SO 2 absorption is limited by the amount of solid and liquid phase alkalinity provided in each gallon of slurry. The absorption is also a function of the

Lime / Limestone Wet Scrubbing System for Flue Gas
Neither lime nor limestone dissolves well in water and therefore, both are pumped in slurry form to the scrubber tower. Lime slurry is more alkaline, having a pH of 12.5 while limestone slurry is roughly neutral. A lime based system will therefore add more lime when pH drops below 12 and a limestone based system will be controlled around 6.

Key principles and approachesin wet-limestone scrubbing
Limestone utilization in the scrubber is another important issue. If the limestone reacts poorly in the system, overfeed is required for adequate SO 2 removal. This of course results in excess reagent usage. Limestone costs for large scrubbers may reach or exceed a million dollars per year, so loss of reagent because of poor utilization can be ...
