Full Scale Evaluation and Suppression of Mercury Re-Emission in Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The full-scale of PC/Cyclone Boilers with common wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) with limestone forced oxidation (LSFO) was studied. Ontario Hydro Method (OHM) recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) was used to determine mercury emission and speciation at these two full-scale WFGD systems, and OHM quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) was followed during the field testing. WFGD re-emission problems were repeatedly observed at this unit. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) had significant effects on mercury removal and Hg0 re-emission rates across WFGD. Effects of injection of continuous chemicals additive containing HS-, S2- or I- on mercury re-emission control were also conducted at this unit.
