Fuel Gas Emission Control
  A leading builder and operator of waste-to-energy burning facilities began looking for an alternative and efficient method for the delivery of lime slurry used in Flue Gas Desulfurization. The traditional method was to use 5% lime slurry and 95% water sprayed into the emissions tower creating a barrier for the emission to travel through. The lime slurry would then attach to the sulfur and drop to the bottom of the tower, and the water was used to cool the temperature of the emissions. Existing Progressing Cavity pumps worked satisfactorily in this application.

The alternative method requires an increase in the solids content of the lime slurry from 5% to 20%. The concentrated lime would significantly decrease the life of their existing pumps. It was time to look for alternative pumps. The Hydra-Cell slurry duty pump was the pump of choice. Not only was the pump capable of handling the slurry, but the customer also saw an increase in pump life, as well as a significant reduction in overall maintenance cost.
