GYPSUM CRYSTALLIZATION FOR LIMESTONE FGD (FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION)

Citation:

Chang, J. AND T. Brna. GYPSUM CRYSTALLIZATION FOR LIMESTONE FGD (FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-86/274.

Description:

The paper gives results of pilot plant tests using a double draw-off crystallizer as the hold tank to improve the gypsum dewatering properties of a forced oxidation limestone flue gas desulfurization process. A hydroclone was used as the size classification device for solids separation and fines removal. Compared with a mixed tank crystallizer, the double draw-off crystallizer resulted in a 45% reduction in free moisture within the filter and a 58% increase in filtration rate.
