Hot Gas Filtration at 850oF Will Change APC Hot Topic Hour on May 1, 2014
The highly visible power plant steam plume directly correlates to lost energy,
water, CO2, and money. By filtering the gas before the SCR or as part of the SCR
and then following with a highly efficient heat exchanger, all the losses become
pluses. The challenge has been to develop a filter to do this. Hot ESPs were
developed in the U.S. but had operating and efficiency problems. Rigid ceramic
filters were unsatisfactory in terms of maintenance and energy costs. Now,
thanks to the latest flexible ceramic media designs, the hot gas filter is now a
commercial and attractive option.
We are setting up a whole website devoted to this important subject. Our webinar
on May 1st will be at a high level with a discussion rather than long
presentations. There will be some presenters such as Richard Lydon of Clear
Edge, but considerable time will be spent reviewing the range of options
available. They include:
Flexible ceramic filter elements,
Flexible ceramic filter elements with embedded catalyst,
Direct sorbent injection to add acid gas removal to NOx and particulate,
Sorbent recovery and reuse with a double alkali system,
Metallic filters,
Low efficiency hot ESP to protect SCR and allow more efficient heat exchange.
The discussion will also include the ways that the 850oF heat can be extracted
from the flue gas prior to scrubbing. The two benefits are heat recovery and
elimination of the scrubber plume and lost water. The uses of recovered heat
such as condensers, ethanol, lignite drying, distillation of seawater and zero
liquid discharge will be discussed.
The primary focus will be on power plants, but other applications will be
covered as well. The fact that the hot ESP is prior to the SCR in a cement plant
is indicative of the need to share technologies among industries.
