Js. Chang et al., PRELIMINARY PILOT-PLANT TESTS OF A CORONA DISCHARGE-ELECTRON BEAM HYBRID COMBUSTION FLUE-GAS CLEANING SYSTEM, IEEE transactions on industry applications, 32(1), 1996, pp. 131-137
Pilot plant tests of a corona discharge-electron beam hybrid combustio
n flow gas cleaning system have been conducted. Gas flow rate of the t
est loop is a heavy oil fired boiler flue gas with 1200 Nm(3)/h, and o
ne electron beam generator (500 kV x 30 mA) is used with a corona disc
harge ammonia radical injection system (60 kV x 5 mA). SO2, CO, CO2, N
H3, NO, NOx, and O-2 gases are monitored. The results show that up to
85% of NOx and 98% of SOx in flue gases are removed under a corona dis
charge-electron beam hybrid operations with significant small amount o
f leaked ammonias from exhaust flue gases.
