KREBS HYDROCYCLONES FOR WET FLUE

GAS DESULFURIZATION SCRUBBERS

INDUSTRIAL SEPARATION INSERT # FGD

Excelling in separation solutions since 1952

FLSmidth Krebs hydrocyclones are used to classify

limestone ball mill discharge in the reagent
preparation area of wet flue gas desulfurization
(WFGD) scrubbers in coal fired power plants.
Hydrocyclone underflow is returned to the mill
for further grinding. Hydrocyclones overflow
reports to reagent storage, from which it is
pumped through spray nozzles into the scrubber.
In the forced oxidation process,the limestone
reagent reacts with absorbed SO2 from the
boiler exhaust, forming gypsum as a byproduct.
Gypsum slurry from the absorber is pumped
to FLSmidth Krebs hydrocyclones to be
dewatered from about 15-20% solids by weight
to approximately 50% solids by weight. This
thickened slurry feeds a vacuum filter to produce
a filter cake that is used as commercial grade
wallboard gypsum or sent to a landfill.
Additionally, smaller diameter secondary
hydrocyclones process the primary gypsum
dewatering hydrocyclone overflow. The
secondary overflow is a chloride/inert fines purge
stream that is treated in a waste water plant
to maintain the fines and chloride levels in the
process.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

XX Low capital cost and no moving parts

XX Interchangeable parts between reagent

preparation and gypsum dewatering cyclones
XX High capacity in a small footprint

XX Efficient separation with Krebs gMAX Cyclone

technology

XX Wide range of Krebs Cyclone sizes are available, 2,

4, and 6 diameter are most common in FGD

XX Cyclones with steel housings are available with

replaceable wear liners in gum rubber and synthetic
elastomer, and ceramic
XX Cyclones are also available in molded urethane.

XX Epoxy paint system is standard for corrosion

resistance in a high chloride environment

Krebs millMAXTM pumps are ideally suited to feed cyclone

clusters and our TechnequipTM valves are used heavily in
FGD applications
