Abstract

A flue gas desulfurization according to the present invention includes a desulfurization absorber that removes SOx and dust contained in flue gas, spray pipes that are provided in the desulfurization absorber, an absorbent feeding means that feeds an absorbing-agent-slurry containing absorbent, in which limestone is used as an absorbing agent, into the desulfurization absorber, nozzles that are provided in the spray pipe to spray the absorbent into the desulfurization absorber, an alkaline-agent feeding means that feeds an alkaline-agent containing solution into the desulfurization absorber, and an waste-water discharge pipe for discharging filtrate obtained by solid-liquid separating the absorbent discharged from the desulfurization absorber as waste water. A feed amount of the alkaline-agent containing solution into the desulfurization absorber is adjusted based on a discharge amount of the waste water.

Claims (10)

1. A flue gas desulfurization system comprising:

a desulfurization absorber that removes sulfur oxide and dust contained in flue gas;

spray pipes that are provided horizontally in the desulfurization absorber, with one end of the spray pipes being closed;

an absorbent feeding unit that is connected to the other end of the spray pipes to feed an absorbent containing an absorbing agent slurry, in which limestone is used as an absorbing agent, into the desulfurization absorber;

nozzles that are provided in the spray pipe to spray the absorbent into the desulfurization absorber;

an alkaline-agent feeding unit that feeds a solution containing an alkaline agent into the desulfurization absorber;

a solid-liquid separator that separates filtrate from an absorbent discharged from the desulfurization absorber;

a waste-water discharge pipe for discharging filtrate as waste water; and

a flowmeter for measuring a discharge amount of the waste water in the waste-water discharge pipe,

wherein a feed amount of the solution containing the alkaline agent into the desulfurization absorber is adjusted based on the discharge amount of the waste water measured by the flowmeter.
