FLUE GAS DIFFUSER OBJECTS

摘要

A diffuser object for a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) absorber is described. The diffuser object is placed in a high flue gas velocity zone inside the absorber in order to better distribute the flue gas and improve absorption efficiency. A method of improving absorption efficiency in a FGD absorber is also described. The method involves identifying high and low velocity zones within the absorber and positioning diffuser objects within the high velocity zones in a non-packed manner. The placement of the diffuser objects and configuration of the objects are calculated to equalize flow rates within the absorber.
