FGD and Acid Gas Separation Webinar June 16, 2016
Program Details
Issues and options for SO2 and other acid gas separation from coal-fired power, cement, steel, and waste incineration plants will be the focus June 16, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. central standard time.
A collaborative format will be used to discuss decision guides on acid gas removal for coal-fired power, cement, steel, waste-to-energy, and glass plants. The decision guides already prepared on these subjects will be updated and briefly displayed during the meeting. We are inviting you to provide data on any new developments which should be incorporated. Discussion will revolve around controversial issues such as
General

 How do you determine the lowest total cost of ownership LTCO?
 Can U.S. and European suppliers leverage knowledge of the LTCO to penetrate markets in developing countries?
 How does the need to remove NOx, PM, and mercury shape the decision on which acid gas removal system should be chosen?
 What efficiency improvements e.g. flue gas heat recovery are possible and how will that shape the acid gas decision?
 How do the needs differ between coal-fired power, cement, steel, and waste-to-energy?

Dry Scrubbing

 How efficient is DSI?
 Where is sodium a better choice than calcium?
 What improvements are achieved by using special high reactivity hydrated lime?
 How widely will DSI be used in terms of which industries and which geographies?
 Is McIlvaine on the right track recommending an analysis of FIFO/LIFO to ensure that the first sorbent on the cake is pulsed and not the fresh unreacted sorbent?
 For medium sulfur coals, can a combination of DSI and a spray drier be competitive with circulating dry scrubbers?
 How much progress is being made on using DSI solid waste and converting it into bricks and building materials?
 Should every power plant using high sulfur coal consider DSI ahead of the air heater to reduce SO3 and to be combined with an air heater upgrade to further reduce gas temperature?
 Can DSI with ceramic catalytic filters replace all the other APC devices?

Wet Scrubbing

 What about the European approach in waste-to-energy which includes two scrubber stages including one to capture hydrogen chloride and make 30 percent hydrochloric acid?
 Why not leach out rare earths with the acid?
 The Chinese are touting a technology similar to the rod deck scrubber for wet limestone SO2 removal. How do rod decks and trays compare to spray towers in terms of lowest total cost of ownership?
 Can lime be competitive with limestone as a reagent based on lower capital cost and higher efficiency?
 Can lime or other reagents be used along with limestone?
 Is the double alkali approach worth considering particularly if you have a high magnesium lime and can make magnesium hydroxide?
 Where are the ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid options attractive?
 Should powdered limestone replace ball mills (this is popular in china)
 How efficient should mist eliminators be?

Components

 Wet: Agitators, oxidation blowers, pumps, valves, fans, hydrocyclones are all subject to severe service. How should these be designed to provide LTCO?
 Dry: Rotary atomizers, two fluid nozzles, slakers, dust valves are all in severe service. What selections provide the LTCO? How site specific is this in terms of coal type and sulfur percentages?

Materials

 Should linings or high alloys be used for scrubber shells? How dependent is this on lining skills and site specific conditions
 Where should weld overlays and hard coatings be applied to pumps and valves?

Consumables

 What is the quality and availability of lime and limestone in each country?
 Should membrane or nonwoven bags be selected?
 What is the role of treatment chemicals in the fuel, flue gas and wastewater?

The decision guides already prepared on these subjects will be updated and quickly displayed during the meeting. Discussion will revolve around controversial issues. Subscribers to Power Plant Air Quality Decisions and Industrial Air Plants and Projects can access the guides at any time. End users also have access upon request. Information on new developments is continually solicited. For questions contact Bob Mcilvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847-784-0012 ext. 112.
LIFO vs. FIFO filter pulsing to maximize acid gas capture - Last sorbent on the cake is first removed. How do we change that to FIFO? Click here to participate in the preliminary analysis.
Direct Sorbent injection is becoming increasingly popular. Much of the acid gas is removed on the cake formed in the pulse jet filter. It is critical that the unreacted or last in sorbent is not the first out. The LIFO vs FIFO accounting concept may apply. Input on this subject is solicited from sorbent, dust collector, bag and valve suppliers. Over the next few months we will assemble an analysis and decision guide on maximizing acid gas capture in the bag filter. A webinar will be scheduled for early Fall to discuss the findings. For more information contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847-784-0012 ext. 112
Molecular Sieve Switching Valves
Molecular sieves are used to dehydrate gas. The valves used in switching from one sieve bed to another are subject to severe service including zeolite particles and corrosive, hot conditions. There is considerable controversy on the best valve designs and materials choices. Over the next few months we will assemble an analysis and decision guide on this subject. The preliminary analysis is provided at Severe Service Valve Technologies and Markets. A webinar will be scheduled for early Fall to discuss the findings. For more information contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847-784-0012 ext. 112
Choke Valve Decision Guide and Webinar
McIlvaine is compiling a continually updated Decision Guide for operators of choke valves used in oil and gas and other industries for fluid control. Contaminants such as sand integrated into varying mixtures of water, oil, methane and other gases provide both operational and maintenance challenges. The guide will identify the major applications and then the performance of various designs and various materials for specific conditions. The Guide will be the basis of a recorded discussion to be conducted in early fall 2016. The guide will be offered free of cost to any end user. It will also be published in Industrial Valves: World Markets and Strategies. The wisdom of the industry is sought in order to make this guide the best it can be. Input is welcomed from any and all sources. White papers, articles and other data to further the discussion would be most helpful. The background information and part of the analysis has been prepared and is displayed at Choke Valve Decision Guide. For more information contact Bob McIlvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com 847 784-0012 ext. 112
