Dry Scrubbers Are a Growing Portion of the Industrial Scrubber Market

Waste incinerator operators are showing a preference for dry scrubbers in the form of spray driers or CFB designs.  Dry sorbent injection could be of greater interest due to methods for using sodium compounds for capture, regeneration of those compounds with lime and disposal of the more inert calcium sulfate.  All the trends are covered in Scrubber/Adsorber/Biofilter World Markets.:  http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/services-drop-down.
