Flue Gas Desulferization Components
RPM Solutions, Inc. specializes in building and maintaining Flue Gas
Desulferization (FGD) components. FGD systems remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from
the exhaust of flue gases in electric power plants that burn coal or oil. RPM
Solutions components are specifically designed for dry sorbent injection systems
(DSI), or dry scrubbers, that use a slurry of alkaline sorbent, usually
limestone or lime. The limestone slurry is pumped through an atomizer device
that produces fine droplets. These droplets are injected into the flue gas
stream and combine with the sulfur dioxide to produce a solid. This solid is
removed from the flue gas in a bag house or similar filtering system prior to
being released into the atmosphere. For a typical coal-fired power station, FGD
will remove 95 percent or more of the sulfur dioxide in the flue gases.
RPM Solutions designs atomizer wheels, atomizer nozzles, upper
wear rings, lower wear rings, drive plates, and other dry scrubber system
components that are specifically engineered to provide long life and reliability
in these harsh environments. RPM Solutions uses some the hardest substances
known to man in its components ... titanium, silicon carbide, boron carbide, and
tungsten carbide. Our components ensure that your plant obtains the maximum run
time between maintenance cycles without compromising safety or quality. Our
components meet and often exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications.
RPM Solutions supports a number of OEM designed systems including Niro, Hamon
Research-Cottrell, Komline-Sanderson, ABB, Flakt, Babcok & Wilcox (B&W), and
Joy.
Our dry scrubber system components also increase lime efficiency. Using our
patented reverse tapered nozzle technology, a power plant can use significantly
less lime to produce the same amount of sulfur dioxide removal. This can
signficantly reduce annual operating costs for a plant.
