Will County Unit 1 limestone wet scrubber description and operating experience
The reasons for installation of a limestone wet scrubber, the technical aspects of the Babcock and Wilcox furnished wet scrubber, the estimated equipment cost and operating expenses, operating experience, and construction problems, are presented. The Babcock and Wilcox designed process is guaranteed to remove 98 percent of the fly ash and 76 percent of the sulfur dioxide, but is expected to remove 98 percent and 83 percent respectively. The wet scrubber system is divided into three parts: the limestone milling system, the wet scrubber and absorber, the sludge disposal treatment and removal system. It is made up of two identical systems each taking half the boiler flue gas. Each system consists of two recirculation tanks, slurry recirculation pumps, a venturi fly ash scrubber, a sump, a sulfur dioxide absorber, flue gas reheater, and ID booster fan. (Air Pollut. Abstr.)
