  • Publication number: 20160167999
    Abstract: The method according to the invention provides a method for treating a waste water, where (a) the waste water is provided having specific sulfate, chloride, mercury, and selenium concentrations, (b) the waste water (WW) is fed to a high pressure separator 1 using a high-pressure pump (P1) in which the waste water (WW) is separated into a permeate volume (PV) containing reduced sulfate, chloride, mercury, and selenium concentrations and a concentrate volume (CV), (c) and where the concentrate volume (CV) is separated using a cleaning apparatus 4 that reduces both mercury and selenium in the concentrate volume.

  • Patent number: 8637417
    Abstract: A method for treating a catalyst base that comprises a contact area of porous material. A fluid, such as a flue gas stream, can be conducted along the contact area. A catalytically relevant substance is introduced into pores of the catalyst base using a transport fluid and remains on pore wall areas after removal of the transport fluid. The introduction is carried out such that an amount of the catalytically relevant substance relative to the surface remains on the pore wall areas as a function of location within the pore and decreases within the pore after exceeding a specific pore depth. A blocking fluid can first be introduced into pore regions beyond the specific pore depth, thus blocking these regions when transport fluid containing the catalytically relevant substance is introduced.

  • Patent number: 8529323
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing a chimney draught in an upstream connected exhaust gas cleaning system consisting in immersing a chimney tube (1; 1?) provided with the open top part thereof in a bath in such a way that a liquid (condensate) collected therein forms a liquid barrier closing the exhaust gas input end of the chimney tube with respect to environment. In order to remove the exhaust gases from the upstream connected exhaust gas cleaning system, at least one part of the chimney tube cross section is exposed by lowering the liquid level under the edge thereof. Said lowering of the liquid level can be carried out by lowering the bath.

  • Patent number: 7531143
    Abstract: An arrangement for separating coarse ash out of a flue gas stream, comprising a catalytic converter disposed in a widened flue gas channel portion and serving for reducing the NOx level in the flue gas stream. Also disposed in the widened channel portion is a separator sieve that extends essentially over the entire cross-section thereof. The separator sieve is provided with a plurality of openings for the passage of flue gas therethrough. Each opening has a cross-section that is smaller than a cross-section of coarse ash particles that are to be separated out.
