FOAM RECOVERING APPARATUS AND FOAM RECOVERING SYSTEM

摘要

A foam recovering apparatus designed to recover any foam floating on a surface of post-desulfurization used seawater, thereby attaining discharge of only a used seawater devoid of foam to the surrounding sea area; and a foam recovering system including the foam recovering apparatus. There is disclosed a foam recovering apparatus (20) placed on a water channel (1) for drainage of used seawater having been discharged from a desulfurization column of flue gas desulfurization equipment using seawater as an absorbent and adapted to separate off and recover any foam (4) floating on a surface of used seawater. The foam recovering apparatus (20) is a floating structure having the whole of the apparatus held floating within the water channel (1). The floating structure is provided with a foam scoop part (23) capable of separating off any foam (4) floating on the water surface from the seawater and a recessed area for storage (24) for recovering the foam (4) having been separated off by the foam scoop part (23).
