Reducing Water Loss with High-performance Mist Elimination and Vapor Control

High-performance Mist Elimination

The Airborne System controls flue gas pollution and eliminates white plumes by using a high-performance de-mister with water soluble chemicals in a solution scrubbing system. Since our de-mister is solution-based rather than slurry-based, there is no blocking, scaling or plugging in the de-mister.

Pure water vapor

Existing flue gas pollutant removal equipment does not eliminate the white plumes. Traditional de-misters have a low pollutant removal, which allows vapors of SOx, NOx, VOCs and other pollutants to escape. This means that insoluble gypsum, known as calcium rain actually escapes the scrubber.

Airborne is actually water positive - less water may leave the stack than produced during coal combustion especially in high moisture coal.

 

A 500 MW plant with a conventional Wet FGD system could require 120,000,000 US gallons (500,000,000 litres) per year of water for evaporation- we require near zero water for evaporation since we can control the mist and vapor losses.

The Airborne Advantage

High moisture capture of 99.9% above 1 micron

High pollution removal rate of SO  , SO  , NO, NO  , VOCs, particulate matter, mercury and other pollutants
