Cleaning the air we breathe

Air Pollution in China

In recent years, the demand for power in China has increased and as many power plants are driven by coal this lead to air pollution. Sulphur emissions from power plants create acid rain and this is a major environmental problem in many countries. The Chinese authorities have therefore introduced stringent regulations to reduce these types of emissions.

Installing an advanced Mist Elimination system

Leading Chinese power industries and power engineering are using the Munters mist elimination technology in their flue-gas cleaning process. They do this since there is no room for error, and they need the best product on the market, a reliable and advanced system to ensure emissions are below limits.

The desulfurization process takes place in a process tower where flue gases pass before they are emitted out through the plant’s chimneys. The contaminated flue gases are first sprayed with a mixture of water and chemicals that bind contaminants.

Through a combination of speed and friction, Munters mist eliminators then capture the contaminated drops that fall down and are collected in the bottom of the process tower.

Mist elimination also includes a cleaning system where contaminated water and sledge can be removed from the mist eliminators, thus keeping them clean for greatest efficiency. Cleaning via desulfurization is very efficient. More than 95% of the contaminating substances are eliminated in this process.
