Gasification Is a Big Scrubber Market
The conversion of coal to pipeline gas and to petrochemicals is a huge new market for scrubbers. We believe a two stage scrubber similar to the process used in some German incinerators will be a real winner. The first stage captures HCl and makes usable hydrochloric acid. The second stage captures the H2S. The acid from the first stage is used to leach alumina and gallium from the coal. The value of these byproducts will be very significant. All the details appear in Scrubber/Absorber World Markets. Bob McIlvaine can answer questions about the technology. In 1970, his former company installed one of the first HCl pre-scrubbers on a commercial coal-fired power plant.
