Abstract:
A method for controlling mercury release, emission and/or re-emission levels in a treated flue gas and a seawater effluent waste stream through control of a sulphite concentration within a seawater scrubber system is disclosed. One method for controlling mercury release, emission and re-emission levels through control of sulphite concentration is to measure the sulphite concentration of seawater entering a seawater scrubber system and comparing the same to a predetermined sulphite concentration value. If the comparison reveals the measured sulphite concentration is above the predetermined sulphite concentration values, the amount of fresh seawater and/or oxidation air supplied to the seawater scrubber system is increased. If the comparison reveals the measured sulphite concentration is below the predetermined sulphite concentration values, the amount of fresh seawater and oxidation air supplied to the seawater scrubber system is decreased.

Abstract:
Provided are: a CO 2 recovery apparatus such that the total operational efficiency and stability of the apparatus can be improved even when the amount of a gas to be treated varies; and a CO 2 recovery process. This CO 2 recovery apparatus (1) is provided with: a CO 2 absorption tower (14) for bringing exhaust gas (11A) into contact with a CO 2 absorbing liquid (13) and thus making the CO 2 absorbing liquid (13) absorb the CO 2 contained in the exhaust gas (11A); a CO 2 absorbing liquid regeneration tower (15) for heating the CO 2 absorbing liquid (13) with steam and thus releasing CO 2 from the CO 2 absorbing liquid (13) and regenerating the CO 2 absorbing liquid (13); a flowmeter (101) for determining the flow rates of the exhaust gas (11A) introduced into the CO 2 absorption tower (14); and a control unit (102) for classifying the flow rates of the exhaust gas (11A) determined by the flowmeter (101) into multiple flow rate ranges, and controlling the flow rate of the CO 2 absorbing liquid (13) supplied to the CO 2 absorption tower (14) and the flow rate of steam supplied to the CO 2 absorbing liquid regeneration tower (15) on the basis of prescribed set load values which have been previously established in accordance with the multiple flow rate ranges.
Abstract:
An array includes a plurality of refractory bricks, each having a substantially tubular body including a first end, an opposed second end, a central bore extending from the first end to the second end along the longitudinal length thereof and defining an inner surface of the refractory brick, and an outer surface extending from the first end to the second end along the longitudinal length thereof. The outer surface of each refractory brick has a shape that transitions axially between a plurality of hexagonal portions and non-hexagonal portions along the longitudinal lengths thereof, and the plurality of refractory bricks are arranged and interlocked with one another in a vertical and horizontal manner via mating members provided on the hexagonal portions of the outer surfaces thereof. A continuous plenum space is defined by the non-hexagonal portions of the refractory bricks arranged in the array.

Abstract:
The present invention is a removal system for mercury in the flue gas configured to remove Hg contained in a flue gas flowing from a boiler, and includes: a heat exchanger (AH) 18 configured to execute heat exchange for a flue gas 12 flowing from a boiler 11; a precipitator 19 configured to remove soot dust in the flue gas 12; a wet SOx removal unit 21 configured to remove mercury oxide Hg 2+ in the flue gas by alkali absorbent and desulfurize sulfur oxide in the flue gas; and an HBr compound supply unit 50 configured to supply HBr, namely, a Br compound into a flue gas duct 13 configured to discharge a flue gas from a boiler outlet. Further, enrichment of bromine contained in the alkali absorbent inside the wet SOx removal unit 21 is set to predetermined enrichment or higher. With this configuration, mercury in the flue gas is stabilized in an ionic state of Hg 2+ in gypsum slurry solution discharged from the wet SOx removal unit 21.
