Flue gas recirculation system

摘要

Recirculation of treated flue gas either independently or as a substitute for ambient air at specific points of ingress in a flue gas treatment system is provided to stabilize approach temperature and related parameters such as reagent consumption and pollution admission rate preventing both the accumulation of particulate matter and excessive corrosion associated with ambient air ingress. This recirculation provides a desired turbulence within remote regions of the flue gas treatment system to reduce the amount of particulate matter that may otherwise settle and accumulate in the absorber vessel or other areas of the system thereby causing particulate matter to be conveyed to the particulate removal device.
