중유를 연소하는 D 발전소 탈황설비는 운전시간의 경과에 따라 흡수탑 중간층에 석고가 쌓이고 가스분사 파이프 내에 경질석고 스케일이 부착됨으로써 발전설비 및 탈황설비의 정상적인 운전이 어렵게 된다. 흡수탑 내부에 발생된 스케일을 제거하지 않을 경우에는 탈황효율의 저하에 따른 SO2 배출농도의 증가로 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생되고 나아가 발전정지를 초래한다. 스케일 제거를 위한 탈황설비 세정은 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생하는 시점으로 결정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 탈황설비의 운전 자료를 분석하여 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생되기 6주 전은 탈황설비 출구 SO2 농도값이 130ppm을 초과하고 동시에 흡수탑 차압은 380mmH2O을 초과하며, 직전 흡수탑 세정 이후 44주가 경과된 시점이 됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 흡수탑의 세정시기는 세정준비기간 6주와 발전가능 최대출력 하향이 발생되기 6주 전까지의 운전경과일수 44주를 더하여 직전 세정시점으로부터 50주가 경과된 시점임을 예측하였다.

보일러에서 연소된 후 배출된 가스는 탈황목적으로 설치된 흡수탑 내에 유입되어 Slurry Spray Nozzle에서 분사된 Limestone Slurry에 의해 배기가스중의 SO$_2$를 흡수한 다음 반응조로 떨어지게 되지만 분사된 액적의 일부는 배기가스의 압력에 의하여 같은 유동 방향으로 미세한 Mist의 형태로 배기가스와 함께 흡수탑의 Outlet Duct를 통해 빠져나간다. 이 Mist(액적크기 40 $\mu\textrm{m}$이하)에는 고형 성분이 함유되어 있는데 보통 Chloride농도가 높아 탈황설비 후단 (duct, GGH, Stack)에 plugging, 부식 등의 문제를 유발하므로 Spray Header상부에서 Mist Eliminator를 설치하여 Mist를 제거하도록 한다.(중략)

An interpretation on the solid circulation characteristics in a fluidized-bed process has been carried out as a first step to simulate the dry entrained-bed absorption and bubbling-bed regeneration system for $CO_2$ removal from flue gas. A particle population balance has been developed to determine the solid flow rates and particle size distributions in the process. Effects of principal process parameters have been discussed in a laboratory scale process (absorption column: 25 mm i.d., 6 m in height; regeneration column: 0.1 m i.d., 1.2 m in height). The particle size distributions in absorption and regeneration columns were nearly the same. As gas velocity or static bed height in the absorption column increased, soild circulation rate and feed rate of fresh sorbent increased, however, mean particle diameter decreased in the absorption column. As cut diameter of the cyclone of the absorption column increased, solid circulation rate decreased, whereas feed rate of fresh sorbent and mean particle diameter in the absorption column increased. As attrition coefficient of sorbent particle increased, solid circulation rate and feed rate of fresh sorbent increased but mean particle diameter in the absorption column decreased.

This study is performed to study the effect of the tray in the absorber of a flue-gas desulphurization (FGD) system by using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique. Stagnant time of slurry and the pressure drop in the FGD absorber increase when a tray is used in the absorber. Stagnant time of slurry results in an increase in the desulfurization effect and a decrease in the power of the absorber recirculation pump; however, increased pressure drop requires more power of booster fan in the FGD system should be increased. The gas and slurry hydrodynamics inside the absorber is simulated using a commercial CFD code. The continuous gas phase has been modeled in an Eulerian framework, while the discrete liquid phase has been modeled by adopting a Lagrangian approach by tracking a large number of particles through the computational domain. It was observed that the power saved upon increasing the stagnant time of slurry was more than increased power with pressure drop.

In desulfurization facilities of oil-fired power plant, gypsum scale is attached in the absorber inner surface as the operating time increases. For this reason, the maximum possible load of the power generation is set down, resulting in further generation stop. Cleaning of absorber for scale removal can be determined at the time of setting down of the maximum possible load. In this study, 6 weeks before the maximum possible load of the power generation was down set, at the same time and desulfurization facilities outlet $SO_2$ concentration value was more than 130ppm, absorber differential pressure exceeded $380mmH_2O$, it was confirmed to be the time that has elapsed 44 weeks after the previous absorber cleaning. Cleaning time of the absorber was predicted to be a time which has elapsed 50 weeks from the previous cleaning time.

Regarding the design of the gas sweetening absorber, the gas distribution analysis for the increase of the sour gas removal and reduction of the tower height is very important research topics. Recently, regarding the $CO_2$ capture technology which is a promising option for the reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG), the need for the gas distribution improvement is increased as the gas treating capacity increases. In this paper, we have investigated the sour gas distribution in the absorber using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based on 10 MW post-combustion $CO_2$ capture plant installed in Boryeong power station, Korea Midland Power company. For this purpose, we suggested the three possible technology options (splash plate, spiral gas line and U-tube) for the gas distribution enhancement and compared the effect of the each cases. The result showed that the U-tube installed in the absorber increase the gas distribution about 30% compared to the base case, while the delta P increasement was about 10%. From these results, it was found that the U-tube installation is an effective technology option for the gas distribution enhancement in the gas sweetening absorber.

This research is an experimental investigation to find the desirable pH of slurry in the desulfurization absorber for a 1000 ㎿ coal fired power plant, operating in compliance with the Air Environmental Conservation Act and the plant's internal regulations. In case the average sulfur dioxide concentration in inflow flue gas, ${\bar{C\;in}}$ [ppm] changed to 500 ppm, 550 ppm, 600 ppm and 635 ppm after fixing inflow flue gas flow rate, generator output, pressure drop in the absorber, and oxidation air flow rate, the desirable pH of the slurry in the absorber, was 5.0, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. Thus, it is recommended that the desirable pH of slurry is calculated using the correlation equation, $RpH=0.0018{\times}{\bar{C\;in}}+4,2031$ when the average sulfur dioxide concentration in the inflow flue gas is in the range of 500 ppm to 635 ppm.

In this study, the inlet duct and guide vane of the gas floating absorption tower were redesigned to improve the desulfurization efficiency so that the exhaust gas can be uniformly introduced into the absorption tower. In order to reduce the sulfur oxide pollutants among the main sources of air pollutants in industrial boilers, the existing equipment is redesigned and solved. For this purpose, change the exhaust gas, the slurry and recycling the adsorbent to improve the removal efficiency of SOx component in the exhaust gas inside the gas floating absorption tower so as to uniformly contact. And the initial design value and CFD value for the pressure loss from the boiler outlet to the gas floating absorption tower outlet are verified. Also, the velocity distribution of the exhaust gas, the concentration distribution of the recycled adsorbent, the liquid slurry behavior, and the pressure loss were compared. The results confirmed that the desulfurization efficiency was improved because the pressure loss from the boiler outlet to the absorption tower outlet was reduced and the deflection of the exhaust gas was minimized.

The pre-treatment of natural gas to remove $H_2S$ and $CO_2$ before liquefaction in natural gas processing is required, and amine-based absorption processes are widely used in gas processing. The current study aims to model amine-based absorption process and to find cost-effective design through systematic analysis of energy systems, together with column design. Different design options for absorber and stripper are investigated in a holistic manner, and heat integration technique has been applied to investigate how design of columns is interacted with energy efficiency for the pre-treatment process considered. Case study has been presented to demonstrate the applicability of heat integration method for improving energy efficiency in practice.
