Sulphur Dioxide So2 Wet Scrubber System

We SGET Manufacturing a sulfur dioxide scrubber system is the removal of SO2 by using its chemical characteristics to combine with water. In some cases, parallel rotating rods create a series of short throat Venturi openings. A series of low pressure, large orifice spray nozzles direct the scrubbing solution into the system. The high velocity turbulence caused by the Venturi openings ensures maximum gas to liquid contact. It is here that the droplets absorb the SO2 as well as impacting and dropping particulates out of the stream. The scrubbed gas is then sent through a demister Pad to prevent condensation and exhausted to atmosphere.

The scrubbing liquor can be bubbled through a slurry or either lime, Ca(OH)2, or limestone, CaCO3 and water. Either lime or limestone will combine with the sulfite ions from the flue gas to form gypsum, CaSO3. The SO2 that is captured in a scrubber combines with the lime or limestone to form a number of by-products. A primary by-product is calcium sulfate, commonly known as gypsum. Spent scrubbing liquids are sent to clarifier where the insoluble gypsum is removed and the water is returned to the scrubber system. The addition of lime or limestone to scrubbing solution is controlled by monitoring the pH of the solution. Lime slurries are generally alkaline with a control point near a pH of 12 while limestone slurries are more neutral.
