<p>The specification describes a method and an apparatus for preconditioning a boiler flue gas mixture containing fly ash for the efficient removal of the fly ash by electrostatic precipitation, the method including the steps of directing a flow of air into a sulfur burner, directing sulfur into the sulfur burner, combusting the sulfur within the sulfur burner to create a fluid mixture including the combustion products of the sulfur, detecting the temperature of the fluid mixture exiting from the sulfur burner, selectively varying the temperature of the flow of air in response to the detecting, passing the fluid mixture through a catalytic converter to produce a conditioning mixture and combining the conditioning mixture with the flue gas mixture prior to passing the flue gas mixture into an electrostatic precipitator.</p> |
