Air emission control services for energy production

Lower the particulate emissions and unburned compounds in the flue gas and ensure consistent performance by converting the existing Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) into a hybrid filter. It’s a cost-effective solution that doesn’t require any major changes to the site layout and gives more efficient flue gas cleaning.

Improved plant efficiency through flue gas condensing and heat recovery upgrades

Flue gas condensing and heat recovery services will improve the condensing process and/or heat recovery, generate increased plant efficiency and lower condensing temperatures to meet stricter emission limits. A site audit and process study typically serve as the initial steps to understand the best and optimal solutions.

Different solutions are available for various needs:

• Improvement of scrubber packing structure for better heat capture from flue gases
• Installation of additional heat exchangers or extra plates in existing heat exchangers
• Addition of an absorption heat pump to the existing scrubber process to enhance heat transfer to district heating

Bag house filter service to meet emission limits

With in-house manufacturing of filters and extensive knowledge of the filtration process and fabric properties, we offer various materials for different flue gas conditions. The baghouse filter service helps you achieve emission limits, estimate the remaining lifetime of the bags, and minimize unplanned stops.

We also provide baghouse filter additive injection for capturing gaseous pollutants.

Our baghouse service offering includes:

• Inspection of filters and additive feeding
• Troubleshooting, site audits, and process studies
• Laboratory analysis for monitoring bag condition and estimating lifetime
• Exchange of filter bags and support cages
• Maintenance of auxiliaries like flue gas dampers or cleaning air pulsing system
• Maintenance of chambers and hoppers
• Design upgrades/new filter fields for changed operational conditions

Improved forecasting of maintenance costs with SCR services

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) services assist in maintaining NOx or NH3 within the right limits, allowing for better forecasting of lifetime and maintenance costs. The service offering includes:

• Inspections
• Troubleshooting, site audits, and process studies
• Delivery, maintenance, and exchange of internal parts
• Installation of new catalyst blocks and laboratory analysis for monitoring catalyst condition and estimating lifetime
• Retrofits and modernization
