Sorbalite for Gas fired Power Plants

In the context of energy production through gas-fired power plants, reducing the environmental impact of emissions represents a crucial challenge to meet sustainability requirements. Although natural gas is a less polluting energy source than solid or liquid fossil fuels, the combustion process still generates gaseous effluents that include harmful substances. Among these, emissions of SOx, HCl, HF, and heavy metals (such as Pb, Cd, and Hg) pose a critical environmental and health risk if not addressed with adequate treatment systems. Flue gas purification is therefore essential to ensure regulatory compliance and ecosystem protection.

A modern and effective solution to manage these emissions is the use of Sorbalite. This formulation, which combines hydrated lime and activated carbon, is proposed as an alternative to traditional purification methods, offering efficient pollutant treatment without compromising operational performance.

Solution with Sorbalite

Sorbalite combines the qualities of hydrated lime, excellent for neutralizing acidic compounds, with the effective adsorbent action of activated carbon, in an advanced formula that aims to simplify and optimize flue gas treatment. Sorbalite, injected dry directly into the flue gas duct using a doser that regulates the amount, ensures complete treatment of pollutants, complying with environmental emission limits set by European regulations.

Flue Gas Cleaning with Sorbalite

FAQ

While natural gas produces lower emissions compared to other fossil fuels, its combustion is not devoid of pollutants. Key pollutants include SOx, arising from impurities in the gas; HCl and HF acids, generated from the combustion of possible residual compounds; and heavy metals like lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg), sometimes present in the gas as natural contaminants. Accurate management of such emissions is crucial to preserve the environment and comply with current standards.
Sorbalite is designed to tackle a wide range of pollutants due to its unique formulation. Hydrated lime chemically reacts with the acids present in the fumes from natural gas combustion, turning them into solid salts that can be easily removed. Simultaneously, activated carbon absorbs and immobilizes traces of heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful substances that would be difficult to manage using traditional approaches.
The use of Sorbalite involves an integrated dosing system that introduces the material directly into the fume stream, utilizing pneumatic injection. This method allows Sorbalite to make direct contact with the pollutants present in the gas emissions. In a single step, the product neutralizes and absorbs harmful substances, making the fume treatment process quicker, more effective, and less operationally complex.
