Cleaning system of fume gases

The cleaning system of fume gases consists of an activated carbon system/filter, secondary cooler and absorbent columns. The cleaning of fume gases is being carried out in accordance with the EU directive 94/67/EC "On the Incineration of Hazardous Waste".

The admissible limit concentrations of polluting components in exhaust fumes resulting from the incineration facility

Activated carbon system/cloth filter

The cleaning system of fume gases is equipped with activated carbon system to enhance the effectiveness of the cleaning of fume gases from dioxines and furanes. The activated carbon is being introduced into a pipe after the heat converter, and then it is being educed in the filter. Absorption process starts already in the pipe, but the most important part in the cleaning of fume gases is cloth filters, which as a result of the process get covered with a layer of activated carbon. Cloth filters have effective filter cleaning system.

Secondary cooler

After the cloth filter fume gases get into the secondary cooler, where they are being cooled down with the cooling water from 180°C to 80°C. Simultaneously, chlorine hydrogen and volatile heavy metals are being educed from fume gases. The resulting sewage is being conveyed to the treatment plants.

Absorbent system

In order not to exceed the determined admissible emission concentration of sulphuric dioxide and chlorine hydrogen, the facility has an absorbent system, which consists of two vertical columns with cladding. Fume gases are being flushed with natrium hydrogen solution, which absorbs sulphuric dioxide and chlorine hydrogen. Sewage get into the sewage treatment plants.
