Increasingly stringent air pollution regulations are requiring refineries, cement and lime kilns, power plants, and chemical manufacturers to remove acid gases, such as SO2, and particulate from flue gas before release to the atmosphere. In other cases, air pollution control (APC) equipment can actually pay for itself if it allows the end user to switch to a cheaper fuel source that contains high levels of sulfur, such as pet coke or high-sulfur coal.
In either case, wet gas scrubbers offer a proven approach to removing SO2 or other acid gases from a gas stream. MECS offers a preeminent approach to wet scrubbing: DynaWave® Froth Zone technology is the perfect solution for particulate removal, hot gas quenching, and acid gas absorption.
