INTEGRATED AIR DISTRIBUTOR ARRANGEMENT FOR EFFLUENT SEAWATER TREATMENT BASIN

摘要

A method of treating effluent seawater generated in the removal of sulfur dioxide from a process gas by contacting the process gas containing sulfur dioxide with seawater (46), using an integrated air distribution arrangement is provided. Additionally, an effluent seawater treatment system is provided that comprises a basin (54) for treating effluent seawater (ES) generated in the removal of sulfur dioxide from a process gas by contacting the process gas containing sulfur dioxide with seawater. Effluent seawater (ES) containing sulfite from a srubber tower (26) is introduced into the basin (54) by means of a horizontally extending distribution pipe (68) which is arranged below a fresh seawater supply via pipe (74) at an upstream wall (56) of the basin (54). Oxygen-containing gas is injected from channels (62) within a concrete bottom of the basin (54).
