With dwindling supply of low sulfur content fuel, power generators will soon face the dilemma of meeting stricter SO2 emissions while processing more sulfur. Alkali scrubbing processes have often been applied to treat flue gases for SO2 removal. In recent years, this process has subjected utility companies to the challenge of high reagent costs and constrained liquid effluent regulations.
Cansolv offers a unique line of pollutant absorption technologies that allow the use of low value fuels while still meeting the most stringent of environmental requirements. Minimal liquid effluent is produced and the by-product is pure SO2 gas that can be converted to a marketable commodity such as sulfuric acid or sulfur.
