DSI for SO3/SO2/HCl Removal
Integrated with Proprietary Kinetic Chemistry Submodels
RAS has significant modeling experience and strong capability in design and optimization of Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) and Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) technology for pollutants removal from flue gas. In addition to Conventional CFD flow modeling, we have incorporated a number of our in-house proprietary sorbent chemistry sub-models, including:
-
Hydrated lime + SO3
-
Hydrated lime + HCl/SO2
-
Trona/SBC + HCl/SO2
-
Trona/SBC + SO3
-
Activated carbon + Hg/HgCl2

The following table summarizes the advantages of chemistry-based Advanced CFD modeling versus flow-only (or non-chemistry) Conventional CFD modeling, in terms of CFD outlet and evaluation capabilities. Advanced CFD model provides “real-life” predictions, including not only the mixing and flow related output that a conventional CFD can provide, but also gas species concentration and reduction predictions. The advanced CFD model approach provides a very comprehensive and useful tool for evaluating a number of important design/operating parameters as well as sorbent properties.
