The technical skill of the Lhoist service team facilitates the scaling of the customer’s Flue Gas Treatment and demonstrates the efficiency of the Sorbacal products during the dry injection under the operating conditions of the installation.
Thanks to trials carried out in the R&D laboratory during the pilot installation and to a comprehensive database which includes Lhoist FGT experience in several industry sectors, the experts are able to estimate both the expected and the maximum Sorbacal consumption.
The efficiency can be influenced by different parameters such as the acid gas rate, the quantity of gases to be treated, the target emission, relative moisture or temperature.
This service is very useful to start a trial efficiently, since it gives an indication of the quantity of Sorbacal to be injected.
Some process developers also ask for an estimate of consumption with different reagents to estimate the global efficiency of their process.
