Abstract

Provided is an air pollution control system including: a boiler, a denitration apparatus; an air heater; a precipitator; a desulfurization apparatus; a dehydrator; a concentration apparatus that is configured to remove some of water of dehydrated filtrate from the dehydrator; a spray drying apparatus provided with a spray unit that is configured to spray concentrated/dehydrated filtrate concentrated by the concentration apparatus; and a flue gas introduction line through which branch gas branched from the flue gas is introduced to the spray drying apparatus.

Claims (16)

1. An air pollution control system comprising:

a boiler that is configured to combust a fuel;

an air heater that is configured to recover heat of a flue gas discharged from the boiler;

a precipitator that is configured to remove soot and dust contained in the flue gas after heat recovery;

a desulfurization apparatus that is configured to remove sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas after dust removal with an absorbent;

a solid-liquid separator that is provided downstream of the desulfurization apparatus and is configured to separate gypsum from desulfurized wastewater discharged from the desulfurization apparatus;

a concentration apparatus including a heater that is provided downstream of the solid-liquid separator and is configured to heat the resulting filtrate through the solid-liquid separator to make concentrated filtrate with the heater;

a flue gas introduction line that is branched from a main flue duct and is configured to branch the flue gas flowing therethrough;

a spray drying apparatus provided with a spray unit that is provided downstream of the concentration apparatus and is configured to spray-dry the concentrated filtrate with the flue gas introduced from the flue gas introduction line, the flue gas introduction line being connected to the spray drying apparatus; and

a flue gas supply line that is connected between the spray drying apparatus and the main gas duct and is configured to supply the flue gas discharged from the spray drying apparatus to the main flue gas duct.

2. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration apparatus includes an evaporator configured to evaporate the filtrate which has been heated.

3. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , further comprising a filter that is disposed between the concentration apparatus and the spray drying apparatus and is configured to remove solid contents contained in the concentrated filtrate.

4. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the flue gas supply line is provided with a solid content separator that is configured to separate solid contents from the flue gas.

5. An air pollution control method in which after heat of a flue gas discharged from a boiler configured to combust a fuel is recovered by an air heater, sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas after heat recovery are removed using an absorbent in a desulfurization apparatus, the method comprising:

heating filtrate obtained by separating gypsum from desulfurized wastewater discharged from the desulfurization apparatus to make concentrated filtrate, using a concentration apparatus including a heater; and

spray-drying the concentrated filtrate, using some of the flue gas.
