Advantages of ESP • High collection efficiency (99÷%) • Treats large volumes of gas • Produces only low pressure drops • Economical to operate • Offers dry collection of valuable products • Generates dry waste for disposal or recycle End of Pipe control Feed Residue Air DeSOx CO Boiler WHB Reactor/Regenerator Steam Economizer MTC Discharge electrodes Flue gas in Clean gas out Hoppers Rappers ESP Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) End of Pipe control Air pollution control of RFCC unit [...]...End of Pipe control • Control SOx (DeSOx) SOx formed when burning oil or gas containing S S + O2 = SO2 – When processing BachHo crude oil, SO2 in emission from Dung Quat refinery is lower than TCVN 5939-1995 (500mg/Nm3) Removal of SO2 is not necessary – When processing sour crude oil or TCVN is more stringent, it is required to equip SO2 control devices End of...
