“Hot Gas Filtration at 850^oF Will Change APC” – “Hot Topic Hour” on May 1, 2014

The highly visible power plant steam plume directly correlates to lost energy, water, CO₂, and money. By filtering the gas before the SCR or as part of the SCR and then following with a highly efficient heat exchanger, all the losses become pluses. The challenge has been to develop a filter to do this. Hot ESPs were developed in the U.S. but had operating and efficiency problems. Rigid ceramic filters were unsatisfactory in terms of maintenance and energy costs. Now, thanks to the latest flexible ceramic media designs, the hot gas filter is now a commercial and attractive option.

We are setting up a whole website devoted to this important subject. Our webinar on May 1^st will be at a high level with a discussion rather than long presentations. There will be some presenters such as Richard Lydon of Clear Edge, but considerable time will be spent reviewing the range of options available. They include:

· Low efficiency hot ESP to protect SCR and allow more efficient heat exchange.

The discussion will also include the ways that the 850^oF heat can be extracted from the flue gas prior to scrubbing. The two benefits are heat recovery and elimination of the scrubber plume and lost water. The uses of recovered heat such as condensers, ethanol, lignite drying, distillation of seawater and zero liquid discharge will be discussed.

The primary focus will be on power plants, but other applications will be covered as well. The fact that the hot ESP is prior to the SCR in a cement plant is indicative of the need to share technologies among industries.
