AI Technical Summary
The existing industrial equipment has low slurry consumption and auxiliary power utilization efficiency in flue gas desulfurization units, making it difficult to effectively control sulfur oxide emissions and meet regulatory requirements.
A variable frequency drive motor and controller system is adopted, and sulfur oxide emissions are measured through a chimney sensor to optimize the operation of the slurry injector and booster fan, thereby reducing slurry and electricity consumption.
This resulted in a reduction of approximately 33% in slurry consumption and up to 25% in auxiliary power savings, while ensuring that sulfur oxide emissions met legal limits.
