B&W’s proven technology, flexibility of design options and advanced features of our wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems help to reduce emissions in new or retrofit applications.
Our wet FGD systems, or wet scrubbers, have operated efficiently, economically and reliably since 1971.
Current designs can achieve more than 99% SO2 removal, with system availability greater than 99.5%. Our absorber design also provides reduced operating and maintenance costs.
As a multi-pollutant control device, B&W’s wet scrubbers also help control filterable (solid) particulate, acid mist and mercury.
Features and benefits include:
In addition to flue gas absorbers, we supply complete systems, including reagent preparation, dewatering and related system equipment. Our wet FGD experts provide design and engineering as well as start-up, commissioning and support services.
