Results for tag: "Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization"

Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (WFGD) is a technology used in air purification to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from power plants. The process involves injecting a slurry of limestone or lime into the flue gas stream, which reacts with the SO2 to form calcium sulfite or calcium sulfate. The resulting slurry is then collected and disposed of in a landfill or other approved disposal site. WFGD is a cost-effective and efficient way to reduce SO2 emissions, and is often used in conjunction with other air pollution control technologies. WFGD is widely used in the power generation industry, and is also used in other industries such as cement production and metal smelting. It is an important part of air pollution control strategies in many countries, and is often mandated by environmental regulations. Some companies in the Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization market include Babcock & Wilcox, Siemens, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Hitachi. Show Less Read more
