Desulfurization Tower – Advanced Flue Gas Treatment Solution
A Desulfurization Tower is an essential air pollution control equipment used in industries to remove sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and other harmful gases from flue gas. It plays a vital role in protecting the environment, reducing acid rain, and ensuring industries comply with emission standards.
What is a Desulfurization Tower?
A desulfurization tower, also known as an FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) Tower, is designed with spray nozzles, absorbent slurry circulation, and demisters to capture and neutralize SO₂. The most common method is wet limestone-gypsum desulfurization, which converts sulfur dioxide into gypsum for reuse in construction materials.
