TORBED Dry Scrubber

The TORBED Dry Scrubber is a Proven Technology that is capable of removing most pollutants from the exhaust gas of combustion devices burning waste materials. It has the following features:

• Fabricated from ferritic stainless steel to minimise wear and corrosion

• It incorporates a toroidal swirl to the flue gases ensuring excellent gas/solid mixing

• The flow pattern causes the particles to be retained in the chamber until the size reduces to allow the particles to escape

• Spent reagent particles are trapped in the bag filter with the ash particles

• It is economical with the reagent using less than other comparable systems to achieve world class performance

• Expected Removal Efficiency is

            o SO2 - >90%

            o HCl - >95%

            o HF - >99%

            o Volatile Heavy metals - >99%

            o Dioxin and Furans - >99%

This level of performance is achieved with standard readily available lime hydrate reagents activated carbon.

The TORBED Dry Scrubber is offered as a suitable dry scrubbing plant for the adsorption of pollutants from boiler flue gases. The boilers may be fired by biomass, wastes including MSW, WDF and RDF fuels and is capable of removal efficiency as listed above.

Usually operating with a fabric bag filter, this system provides high efficiency with low usage rates of sorbents, low residue disposal costs with no wet residue and thus no waste water treatment plants.
