DynaWave Application: Cement Kilns

Information Technology Solutions
Reductions

Application Overview
Cement kiln facilities are characterized by dusty operation and sulfur dioxide emissions from the
pre-heater exhaust (or directly from kiln in wet systems)
 Regulated Emissions include:
 SO2 (sulfur dioxide)
 Particulate matter
 Traces of metals
 Scrubber design must take into consideration possible corrosion, erosion, and plugging

Removal Efficiency For DynaWave

 99+% for SO2 and 90%-98% for dust particles

Introduction To DynaWave Process

 Dirty gas enters the top of a straight vertical duct called an inlet barrel
 Lime, limestone, or CKD reagent is added to the scrubber liquid
 Liquid/reagent is injected counter current upward into the down flowing gas stream
 The liquid collides with the gas coming down to create a froth zone, an area where
quenching and SO2 and particulate removal occur
 After the contaminates have been removed from the gas stream, the clean gas and
liquid exit the inlet barrel and enter the gas/liquid disengagement vessel
 Liquid falls to the vessel sump where it is pumped back to the Reverse Jet nozzle, and
injected into the gas stream to further capture acid gases and particulates
 The treated gas flows through a gas-liquid chevron separation device and exits the top
of the scrubber

What Are The Materials Of Construction?

 FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) or flake glass lined carbon steel are the typical material
used for the scrubber vessel; AL6XN or Duplex 2205 is typically used for the inlet barrel

Why Choose DynaWave?

 High SO2 removal efficiency
 Large bore nozzles and open design essentially eliminate plugging, even with sticky particles
and slurries containing up to 30% solids. This is a plus when downtime for repair and
maintenance is a concern
 Slurry design is based on experience and success in cement applications
 Smaller diameter and lower height compared to typical spray towers means less capital cost
 Can handle massive amounts of solids entering scrubber from baghouse or ESP failures and
continue to operate without interruption
 Ability to utilize reagents such as limestone and CKD directly in the scrubber.
 Protection against corrosion, erosion, and plugging
 Since dissolved SO2 forms corrosive weak sulfurous acid, the typical material of
construction chosen for the vessel and piping is FRP
 Erosion is handled by use of special nickel hardened alloy for slurry pumps; slurry piping
design and silicon carbide Reverse Jet nozzles
 Plugging is controlled by large bore Reverse Jet nozzles and piping design that
discourages settling
 Simplicity in operation with low operator attention required and high reliability
 5 DynaWave Scrubbers on Cement Plants using CKD as reagent
 Proven in 300+ installations
