  • Patent number: 9802151
    Abstract: The air pollution control system including: a flue gas duct through which flue gas flows; a heat exchanger provided to the flue gas duct; a limestone supply device for reducing SO3 in the flue gas supplies CaCO3 to the flue gas flowing in an upstream of the heat exchanger; an upstream SO3 measurement device measures the SO3 in the flue gas flowing in a stream upper than a position where the limestone supply device supplies the CaCO3; and a control device determines a quantity supplied of the CaCO3 based on a relationship between a quantity of the SO3 measured by the upstream SO3 measurement device and a molar ratio of SO3 to CaCO3 and which supplies the determined quantity supplied of the CaCO3 from the limestone supply device to the flue gas duct.

  • Publication number: 20150298055
    Abstract: A flue gas treatment system in which the desulfurization of an flue gas is attained by: catalytically converting SO2 contained in an flue gas into SO3; subjecting the SO3-containing flue gas to be heat exchanged with air in a heat exchanger to lower the temperature of the flue gas to a sulfuric acid dew point or lower; making dust adhere to the surfaces of sulfuric acid droplets contained in the flue gas; and collecting the sulfuric acid with dust together with dust by a dust collector.
