GORE SO2 Control System for Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD)
The SO2 Control System is a reagent free flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) system with a small footprint and simple operation, resulting in low operating costs.
Reduce Emissions of SO2
The GORE SO2 Control System utilizes fixed catalysts to convert SO2 into saleable sulfuric acid, eliminating concerns related to reagent supply, logistics, handling, storage and preparation operations, reagent price volatility and solid waste disposal. It is installed after an existing ESP or baghouse, there is no impact on fly ash.
Low Operating Cost
- No reagent required for SO2 removal
- Low parasitic power consumption
- Revenue from sulfuric acid by-product sales
- Simple operation
Low Process Impact
- Small, flexible footprint
- No impact on fly ash quality
- Additional PM reduction
- Minimal maintenance required
- No additional CO2 generation
Benefits of Gore’s FGD System:
- The lack of reagent and low parasitic power enables a significantly lower operating cost than other Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) systems.
- The footprint of the system has significant flexibility allowing it to fit into space constrained sites that are challenging for wet and semi-dry systems.
- Since water is recovered in the sulfuric acid concentration step, the overall water consumption is lower than with a wet limestone FGD system.
- The passive system operation is simple and doesn’t require any adjustments, treatments, or regeneration.The catalytic SPC modules have no moving parts and will continuously convert SO2 into sulfuric acid with the lowest total cost of ownership.
The GORE SO2 Control System removes gas phase mercury and SO2 from incineration flue gas in multiple applications, including:
- Coal-Fired Boilers
- Sewage sludge, municipal solid waste and hazardous waste incinerators
How it Works
Sorbent Polymer Catalyst (SPC) composite material is a novel fluoropolymer-based substance created by Gore scientists.
- Effectively captures both elemental and oxidized mercury from the flue gas stream.
- Is unaffected by modifications to fuel or manufacturing processes that alter mercury speciation
Through chemisorption, mercury is tightly bound inside the SPC.
- Is a highly successful solution for high sulfur coals or units with SO3 gas conditioning because, unlike many activated carbon sorbents, the presence of SO3 does not prevent mercury extraction by the SPC.
- Eliminates need to worry about fly ash contamination or additional particulate matter collection, since no injected sorbents are used.
- Eliminates the need for chemicals for oxidation, thus avoiding concerns over halogen-induced corrosion and wastewater treatment complications.
The sulfuric acid byproduct is a versatile chemical with strong demand in the fertilizer production industry. Unlike limestone based FGD systems, which release CO2 as part of the chemical reaction involved in capturing SO2, the GORE SO2 Control System's catalytic reaction does not release CO2.
