Method for cleaning a
flue gas
stream, in particular for cleaning
flue gases produced during the
combustion of heavy oil and / or diesel fuels, in a
flue gas cleaning
plant with at least one first reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) and a second reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c), wherein in a pre-cleaning operation particles are substantially removed from the
flue gas stream and in a final cleaning operation at least
sulfur-containing components are substantially removed, wherein i. in the pre-cleaning operation the
flue gas stream is fed from an engine (1, 31, 61) to the first reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) in which a pre-cleaning of the
flue gas stream is carried out, and ii.In the final cleaning operation, the flue gas stream is transferred, after pre-cleaning, from the first reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) to the second reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c), in which final cleaning of the flue gas stream is carried out, characterized in that at least a third reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) is provided with a
sorption material (23a-c, 53a-c, 88a-c), wherein at least one reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) is in the pre-cleaning state, one reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) is in the final cleaning state and one reactor unit (5a-c, 35a-c, 65a-c) is in the standby state, so that the
sorption material of the reactor unit It can be replaced while at rest.
