Functional Experience & Measured Results
Waste-to-Energy Plant Flue Gas Desulfurization Testing scenario and demand: The plant previously used sodium bicarbonate, which had high consumption and operational costs, and the by-product was difficult to dispose of. Actual use process: Added Vanda hydrated lime to the spray reactor, adjusted the calcium-sulfur ratio to 1.3, and monitored flue gas data for 24 hours. Real experience and results: Desulfurization efficiency reached 98.2%, with SO₂ emission stably controlled below 30mg/Nm³, and fluctuation range within ±5mg/Nm³ even when waste composition changed. Desulfurizer consumption per ton of waste dropped from 18-20kg to 6kg, reducing comprehensive operation costs by over 50%. Solved pain points: Significantly reduced desulfurizer cost and eliminated secondary pollution from by-products.
Steel Mill Multi-Pollutant Treatment Testing scenario and demand: The steel mill faced issues of equipment corrosion from excessive spray and large amounts of solid waste. Actual use process: Applied the product to the dry desulfurization system, tested under high-sulfur flue gas conditions. Real experience and results: SO₂ emission stably stayed below 35mg/m³, while simultaneously removing 90% of HCl and HF. Filter bag service life extended by 35%, reducing equipment maintenance frequency by 40%. The by-product had ≤4.5% unreacted Ca(OH)₂, with high-purity calcium sulfate that could be sold as building material. Solved pain points: Reduced equipment corrosion and solid waste disposal costs, while achieving multi-pollutant协同治理.
