Ammonia Flue Gas Conditioning Systems

UNICON Group, entered in to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HWB-Department of Atomic Energy, for transfer of Ammonia Flue Gas Conditioning Technology. This technology will reduce the SPM level for Coal based Thermal Power Plants.

The air we breathe contains many pollutants, major contribution being dust of SPM (Suspended Particulate Matter), the prime cause for many respiratory diseases including silicosis. The presence of SPM in the air is due to vehicular traffic and through the emissions from major industries particularly power and cement. The need of the hour is to control the SPM emissions.

Area of application :
The flue gas from coal fired boiler furnace contain suspended fine fly ash particles. The quantum of emission of SPM is required to be controlled as per the statutory requirements set by the Pollution Control Board. The SPM is reduced universally by use of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) which function by imparting electric charge on the suspended particles by applying high voltage and then collecting them on charged collector plates.

The Quality of coal, increased ash content, ash resistivity and many other factors result in the lower performance of ESP and consequent increase in SPM. Many technologies have been tried out for improving the performance of ESP but with limited success.
