Technical Sodium Bicarbonate and Activated Carbon/Lignite Coke for Oil fired Power Plants

In the energy recovery industry, used or waste oil represents an important energy resource. However, during the thermal combustion process, pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and heavy metals are released, which can harm the environment. To address this problem, plants adopt cutting-edge technologies to purify the resulting flue gases, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations. An effective solution employed in this context is the combined use of technical sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke.

Solution with Technical Grade Sodium Bicarbonate plus Active Carbon or Lignite Coke

Oil fired power plants implement an advanced two-stage filtration system, designed to remove acids and metals. This system uses a mill for finely grinding technical sodium bicarbonate and a dedicated dosing device for introducing activated carbon or lignite coke into the flue gas streams. Technical sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids in the flue gases, while the activated carbon and lignite coke adsorb and remove heavy metals and other harmful suspended matter.

Flue Gas Cleaning with Technical Grade Sodium Bicarbonate and Active Carbon or Lignite Coke

FAQ

What are common pollutants in oil thermal combustion?

During oil thermal combustion, in addition to the aforementioned sulfur oxides and acids, heavy metals and fine particles may be emitted, stemming from additives and pollutants present in the waste oil. These components require specialized treatment to ensure clean air and environmental protection.

Why are technical grade sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon/lignite coke used in the oil thermal combustion process?

Oil thermal combustion can produce fumes with high concentrations of acids such as HCl and SOx, in addition to heavy metals like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). These components are highly pollutive and harmful to the environment. The use of technical grade sodium bicarbonate allows for the neutralization of these acids, transforming them into non-hazardous salts. Activated carbon/lignite coke, on the other hand, ensures the elimination of heavy metals and other harmful substances.

What is the purpose of sodium bicarbonate in the purification of fumes from oil thermal combustion?

Sodium bicarbonate reacts with the acids generated in oil combustion, such as HCl and SOx. This chemical reaction produces safe solid salts, like sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, significantly reducing the acidity of the exhaust gases. Sodium bicarbonate is essential for an effective and versatile treatment of acid fumes.

What are the uses of activated carbon and lignite coke in the oil thermal combustion process?

Activated carbon and lignite coke are crucial for capturing and removing pollutants such as mercury and other heavy metals thanks to their porous structure, which traps the pollutant particles, thus purifying the fumes.

What is the difference between activated carbon and lignite coke in fume removal?

Although both are intended for fume treatment, activated carbon stands out for its superior ability to adsorb a wide range of contaminants, due to its unique structural characteristics. Lignite coke, on the other hand, is better suited for low-temperature conditions, offering a more economical solution for certain operational needs.
