Flue Gas Desulphurization
Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) is a vital emissions control process that reduces sulphur dioxide (SO₂) from industrial exhaust gases.
As environmental regulations tighten across South Africa’s mining and energy sectors, Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) has become essential for reducing SO₂ emissions from coal-fired power plants, smelters, and industrial boilers. FGD systems protect air quality, support compliance with the Mine Health and Safety Act, and contribute to sustainable operations.
What is Flue Gas Desulphurization?
Flue Gas Desulphurization is a process used to remove sulphur dioxide from exhaust flue gases produced by fossil fuel power plants and other industrial facilities. By utilizing various technologies, including wet and dry scrubbing methods, FGD systems significantly reduce harmful emissions, helping to protect the environment and public health. Effective FGD systems are essential for compliance with environmental regulations and for promoting sustainable energy practices.
AVK Valves Southern Africa Contributions
AVK Valves Southern Africa offers durable, chemically resistant valve technologies designed for both wet and dry FGD systems. In some cases, these systems use limestone slurry or dry lime sorbents to capture and neutralize SO₂, producing byproducts like gypsum or calcium sulfite.
Key Products:
- Rubber-lined Butterfly Valves: for slurry and reagent handling
- Knife Gate Valves: for high-density slurry isolation
- Ball Valves: for dosing and auxiliary systems
- Check Valves: to prevent backflow in reagent and water lines
- Control Valves: for regulating flow in absorber towers and recirculation loops
- Dampers: To isolate or regulate the flow of gas in or out of furnace systems.
- Penstock: To isolate or regulate the flow of process water back to the water treatment plant
