Flue Gas Desulphurization Systems FGD

In flue gas desulphurization systems, equipment such as absorber towers, demister supports, gas outlets, recycle and process pipings, process tanks, and agitators are highly exposed to corrosive and abrasive environments. Chlorobutyl rubber of 60 Shore A 

In many FGD pipe applications, 40 durometer pure gum rubber gives only 3-7 years of service, whereas a 60 durometer natural rubber gives 7-10 years of life. Since most FGD scrubber piping encounters very light abrasion, installing chlorobutyl is expected to last in excess of 15 years. Chlorobutyl is better for the absorber and the demister supporters as the performance lining.
