Abstract

A wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus desulfurizes flue gas existing inside an absorption tower by causing the flue gas to come into gas-liquid contact with an absorbent, and the absorbent is fed through a header pipe and sprayed through nozzles. In the apparatus, the absorbent accumulated inside the absorption tower is fed to the nozzles to circulate in the absorption tower. The apparatus includes: a bypass pipe feeding the absorbent through the nozzles from a downstream of the nozzles into the absorption tower; a tank arranged at an intermediate location on the bypass pipe; a perforated plate arranged inside the tank; and an access port opening on a side surface of the tank above the perforated plate to communicate between an inside and an outside of the tank. The absorbent that freely falls and passes through the perforated plate while scales or impurities are collected above the perforated plate.

Claims (26)

1. A wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus comprising:

an absorption tower configured to desulfurize flue gas by causing the flue gas to come into gas-liquid contact with an absorbent;

nozzles configured to spray the absorbent into the absorption tower;

a header pipe configured to feed the absorbent to the nozzles;

a circulation mechanism configured to feed the absorbent accumulated inside the absorption tower through the nozzles of the header pipe toward an upstream of a flow of the absorbent;

a bypass pipe configured to feed the absorbent through the nozzles of the header pipe from a downstream of the nozzles into the absorption tower in a direction of flow of the absorbent;

a tank arranged at an intermediate location on the bypass pipe in the direction of flow of the absorbent;

a perforated plate being arranged inside the tank and having multiple transmission holes; and

an access port that opens on a side surface of the tank to communicate between an inside and an outside of the tank;

wherein the access port is arranged above the perforated plate, and

wherein the absorbent that freely falls inside the tank and passes through the transmission holes of the perforated plate while scales or impurities contained in the absorbent are collected above the perforated plate.

2. The wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the perforated plate is provided with an upper surface configured to incline upward from below in the horizontal direction toward the access port.

3. The wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an auxiliary meshed portion extending upward from an upper end portion of the inclined upper surface of the perforated plate, and having multiple transmission holes,

wherein the absorbent passes through the transmission holes of the auxiliary perforated plate while the scales and the like or impurities contained in the absorbent are collected by the auxiliary meshed portion.

4. The wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

Restriction orifices arranged on the bypass pipe in the upstream of the tank; and

a flow rate control valve arranged on the bypass pipe in the upstream of the tank;

wherein the restriction orifices and the flow rate control valve can control the flow rate of the absorbent to be fed to the tank.

5. The wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein an opening is provided on an upper end of the tank, and

wherein a cover member is detachably attached to cover the opening of the tank.

6. The wet type flue gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an auxiliary perforated plate extending upward from the upper surface of the perforated plate, and having multiple transmission holes,

wherein the absorbent passes through the transmission holes of the perforated plate while the scales or impurities contained in the absorbent are collected by the perforated plate.
