e-SCRUB -- Electron scrubbing of flue gases from high sulfur fuel to remove unwanted by-products
This paper reviews the rich development history of the Electron Beam Dry Scrubbing (EBDS) system, describes briefly the principal chemical and physical processes, and provides an overview of the e-SCRUB program, technology transfer effort sponsored by the Department of Defense. Electron beam dry scrubbing (EBDS) is a very promising method for the simultaneously removal of SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} in a single step treatment process. The process can be applied to boilers burning high sulfur coal or to incinerators burning municipal solid waste (MSW). For both applications removal efficiencies of about 90% for SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} have been achieved at high overall process energy efficiency and low energy consumption.
