Consider a chlorine scrubbing unit operated semi-batch-wise. That is, a system similar to that shown in Fig. 26.7 is operated batch-wise but, periodically, a portion of the contents of the sump are sent to treatment and the sump refilled with fresh caustic. This mode of operation allows continuous treatment of the chlorine-laden vent stream while allowing batch operation without the need for a dual scrubbing-liquor reservoir. 

COj is removed in a scrubbing unit. Residual CO is converted in the methanator, where the following exothermic methanation reaction occurs ... 

Carrier-gas is transferred from the column through a heated metal capillary, which minimizes the dead volume at the end of the column and prevents condensation of the column effluent prior to its entry into the scrubbing unit. The tube carrying the liquid stream is joined to the gas stream tube, at a T-junction that is joined to the mixing coil by a glass-to-metal seal. Furfural is transferred from the gas stream into the liquid stream and the colour develops the two phases are then separated by the debubbling unit and the liquid stream is re-sampled through the flow cell of the colorimeter. A Technicon peristaltic... 

The complete scrubbing unit is controlled in an air thermostat, constructed from Perspex, at 3S°+1°C. In order to give a quick response to changes in the ambient temperature, the thermostat control incorporates a sohd-state proportional controller and a fan that circulates air over a bare-element heater. 

Reduction of NO in FCC wet scrubbing units has been achieved by applying an ozone injection technology called LoTO. LoTO is a technology approach sold by Belco Technologies Corporation (BELCO) under license from BOC. The injected... 

According to vendor-supplied information, Alka/Sorb scrubbing units typically range in price from 200,000 to 300,000 for every 1000 lb per hour of waste incineration capacity (D10030H,... 

The efficiency of reactant utilization in CVD on float glass can be as low as 10%, necessitating the installation of expensive chemical scrubbing units or incinerators and requiring landfill of more than one million kg/year of waste. 

Separation equipment tends to have less flexible design limits and can be costly to modify. For example, the C02 absorber and solvent regenerator towers in a wet scrubbing unit are difficult to replace. Fortunately, it is often possible to make changes to tower internals, or to change the solvent composition, to provide more capacity86. 

The vapor scrubbing units can produce a liquid effluent that contains as little as 15ppmN. 

Adsorptive Processes. The use of activated carbon, sprayed into a dry/semi dry scrubbing unit along with lime or less frequently packed in an adsorption unit positioned after the particulate removal device and prior to the stack, has become a standard component in gas cleaning trains as a means of PCDD/F control on all sizes of plant fed with MSW or clinical waste. Other adsorptive media such as zeolites are also being tested. The inclusion of an adsorptive device in combustion systems fired with wood and agricultural wastes is not normally contemplated, and as noted above, an interesting issue to be resolved is whether different waste types generate flyash of different activities relative to PCDD/F formation. 

CO is converted to C02 in the HT and LT shift over standard catalysts. C02 is removed in a scrubbing unit, which is normally either the BASF-aMDEA or the UOP-Benfield process. Remaining carbonoxides are reconverted to methane in the catalytic methanation to trace ppm levels. 

In some cases, a second intermediate liquid methane scrubbing unit is added, at 0.3. 10 Pa absolute, capable of yielding 99 per cent pure CO directly at the top of the... 

The carbon deficit observed in methane steam nsforming does not occur if naphtha feedstock is converted. In autothermal processes using fuel oil as a feedstock, sufficient quantities of excess carbon dioxicte are available within the instailation itself. This gas is recycled from a scrubbing unit...

On the basis of this last observation, it is easy to predict that if the catalytic filter technology can penetrate the market more deeply, investment cost will likely lower, due to higher productions, thus further improving the above economic advantages. Moreover, even better results eould be accomplished if higher lime utilization efficiency were achieved in the dry-scrubbing unit, a point addressed by several research programs all over the world [32-35]. 

The complementary cooling and cleaning of these gases is performed in a final scrubbing unit. This scrubber is a vertical tower where the upward flow is mixed with atomized water. The gases, now cleaned and cooled in the scrubber, are driven by a... 

Fig. 1 Capture of carbon dioxide by a 50 g/L solution of absorbent in a 500 ml batch absorber. The gas being treated was ambient air, at a carbon dioxide concentration of 403 pmoles/mole and a flow rate of 0.96 slpm. The fact that this absorbent can reduce CO2 levels to less than that of ambient air shows that a properly designed countercurrent scrubbing unit could use this solution to keep CO2 levels in a combustion gas stream from exceeding the normal levels present in the atmosphere. It should be noted that, under these conditions, the ability of pure water to absorb carbon dioxide was negligible.

Because the fluorine in the phosphate rock is entirely recovered in the USP, a gle-stage scrubbing unit satisfies the most stringent standards while SSP requires three or four stages. Moreover, the sembbing liquor is recycled into the preparation of the urea-sulfuric add mixture. 

For urea dust a venturi plate scrubbing unit may be used with an expected cost of US 1.2 million and an additional annual operating and maintenance cost of US 155,000 and US 12,000, respectively, for a plant of 1,000-tpd capacrty. 

The effluents from the exhaust gas scrubbing unit are constituted by acidic drippings from the ESP (-1.8 to 2.0 kg/t of LAS) and Na2S03/water solution (9-10% dry matter content).
