How to improve the efficiency of the demister in the desulfurization tower

Thread Content

Typically, corrugated plate mist eliminators are used in gypsum-based flue gas desulfurization towers; each tower is equipped with two layers of such mist eliminators, and wash spray nozzles are also installed between them. The distance between the two layers as well as the spacing between the corrugated plates are related to efficiency and resistance, and generally, empirical values within certain ranges are used for their selection. The problem is that for our desulfurization process, we intend to use caustic soda to produce sodium sulfite; however, the mist eliminators in the gypsum-based desulfurization towers suffer from severe liquid carryover, which makes them unsuitable for our needs. Moreover, we do not require washing nozzles. The problem is that for desulfurization tower mist eliminators of our type, where emphasis is placed on mist elimination efficiency while also taking resistance into account, what kind of mist eliminator should be used? How then should the structural parameters be selected?
