AGITATOR TECHNOLOGY IN FLUE GAS DESULPHURIZATION
Flue gas desulphurization (FGD) is an important process in industrial waste gas treatment that aims to remove sulphur dioxide (SO₂) from the exhaust gases of combustion plants. A key component of this process is the agitator technology, which enables efficient mixing and reaction of the various chemical components. Typical flue gas desulphurization methods include wet and dry flue gas desulphurization. Liquids or slurries are mixed to ensure a homogeneous composition.
TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS
TYPES OF AGITATORS
Depending on the specific requirements of the process, MUT-Tschamber offers different types of agitators:
- Axial agitators: provide vertical mixing and are ideal for homogeneous liquids.
- Radial agitators: generate horizontal mixing and are suitable for suspensions with particles containing solids.
- Propeller agitators: universally applicable and particularly efficient when conveying gas-liquid reactions.
OPTIMUM MIXING
Advantages
Our focus has always been on the correct selection and application of agitators. Only then can all the advantages be fully exploited: sustainable agitators:
Increased efficiency
- Optimum mixing of reagents and waste gases leads to more efficient chemical reactions.
- Reduced residence time in the reactor and thus lower operating costs.
Improved process control
- Uniform distribution of reagents prevents local oversaturation or deficiencies.
- Increased process safety due to constant operating conditions.
Energy saving
- MUT-Tschamber agitators are designed for low energy consumption without compromising mixing performance.
- Reduction of the total energy requirement of the flue gas desulphurization system.
AGGRESSIVE CHEMICALS
Challenges
Despite the advantages, there are also challenges when implementing agitator technology:
- The agitators are exposed to aggressive chemicals.
- Wear and corrosion lead to high maintenance costs.
