Dry Scrubbing: Most Profitable Markets
The largest market for dry scrubbing is to capture SO2 from coal fired power plants. Wet scrubbing is used by 95 percent of the coal plant operators. The reason is the much lower reagent cost and the opportunity to generate a byproduct (gypsum). Dry scrubbing offers much lower capital cost as well as reduction in water consumption and pollution. In many cases the dry scrubbing option is eliminated by default. Limestone for wet scrubbing is widely available at a predictable cost. Reasonably priced lime for dry scrubbing may only be available if a lime supplier agrees to build a dedicated kiln just for a plant or several plants in a region. The catalytic filter with dry sorbent injection (DSI) is now proven in many smaller applications. The recent introduction of 6 meter long candles makes it a candidate for power plants as well as the smaller applications. One vessel instead of three is used to reduce NOx, SO2, other acid gases, and particulate. Furthermore clean hot gas at 600F is available for energy recovery.

95% SO2 removal with DSI, SDA combination
The EUEC paper by Gerald Hunt of Lhoist demonstrates that with SORBOCAL, a high surface lime hydrate it is possible to achieve 95% SO2 removal with a combination of SDA, Cyclone, DSI , and fabric filter. DSI can be used in varying quantities and locations to achieve the needed SO2 removal to meet MATS and MACT

Scrubber Market Veering From Hardware to Consumables
Dry scrubber capital investment will be just under $600 million in 2015. This is less than 10 percent of the total scrubber capital investment. But behind these numbers is a new path for the industry. Dry scrubbing is a way to capture acid gases at lower capital cost than with absorbers. However, purchasers face much higher reagent costs. Limestone used in wet systems is a fraction of the $200/ton price of lime used in dry scrubbers. These developments are tracked in the McIlvaine publication Scrubber/Adsorber/Biofilter World Markets.

Power Plants Will Spend $400 Million for Dry Scrubber Systems This Year
Power plants still prefer wet limestone scrubber systems as a way to capture the SO2 emissions. However, more than 10 percent of the purchases will be for dry systems this year. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in FGD Market and Strategies

Extensive CDS Experience Already Gained in U.S
Lime and hydrated lime are widely available to meet the demands of FGT applications in the U.S. power industry. Lime-based CDS technologies have become popular options to achieve very high removals of multiple pollutants produced from solid fossil fuel-fired electricity generating units. Four lime-based CDS technologies have been installed in 12 PC boilers and 12 CFB boilers. Constructions are underway at 15 PC boilers. These technologies are applied to units with sizes ranging from 58 to 690 MW. Data obtained from AES Greenidge and Sandow Stations showed that the emission limits of Hg, filterable particulate, and HCl mandated under the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards were met. CDS is capable of handling solid fuels with various sulfur contents. CDS is capable of handling wide swing load. Multiple CDS reactor vessels can be placed in parallel to process flue gases from larger units.
