Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the Oxi-air system for sulfite oxidation in wet scrubbers, highlighting its benefits in maximizing oxygen utilization, enhancing sulfur dioxide separation efficiency, and reducing operating costs.
Process Overview
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a byproduct of combustion processes and is removed using multistage wet scrubbers. The separation process involves two main steps: the reaction of SO2 with caustic soda to form sodium sulfite, and the oxidation of sodium sulfite to sodium sulfate with oxygen.
Challenges and Solutions
Insufficient oxidation can lead to the decomposition of sulfite and the release of separated SO2 during the blowdown phase. The Oxi-air system addresses this by injecting ambient air into the scrubber sump, optimizing oxygen utilization and reducing SO2 peaks and caustic soda consumption.
System Advantages
  • Reduces SO2 peaks by at least 50% during blowdown in high SO2 concentration scenarios.
  • Decreases caustic soda consumption by 10-20% in prolonged high SO2 conditions, lowering operating costs.
Technical Configuration
The system features a circular pipeline with multiple nozzles for uniform air distribution. The nozzles, equipped with aeration membranes, are customized based on the scrubber's diameter and stack arrangement, ensuring high oxygen yield and resistance to corrosive media.

Oxi-Air - Wet Scrubbing-2

Oxi-air – sulte oxidation in the wet scrubber High yield – efcient separation – lower costs Uniform air injection optimizes sulfur dioxide separation The innovative air distribution system for wet scrubbers maximizes oxygen utilization and thus enhances sulfur dioxide separation efciency. The advantage for your plant: a reduction of sulfur dioxide peaks, less caustic soda consumption, and lower operating costs. The occurrence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in combustion processes cannot be prevented. For this reason, noxious acidic gases and dust are removed in multistage wet scrubbers. The separation...

Oxi-Air - Wet Scrubbing-3

Distribution system with aeration membranes To promote oxidation, improve S02 separation and prevent possible S02 peaks during blowdown to the acid scrubber stage, ambient air is injected into the sump of the neutral scrubber stage. To make the best possible use of available oxygen, Hitachi Zosen Inova has developed a specific distribution system. It optimizes the injection of air through aeration membranes into the scrubber sump. Thus resulting in a uniform air distribution and the size of the bubbles generate an increased surface area insuring a high oxygen yield. Customized configuration The...
