Innowacyjna technologia oczyszczania spalin z rtȩci jako rozwiazanie sprostania wymogom stawianym przez konkluzje BAT/BREF w polskiej energetyce

The current IED directive, and therefore very stringent requirements for mercury pollution included in BAT/BREF, are forcing the Polish power industry to seek new efficient gas purification technologies from the gaseous form of mercury. At present, none of the primary or secondary methods of removing Hg compounds in the country are able to meet these restrictions, even commonly used methods using bromine or iodine-modified activated carbon, or modern methods used in other countries fot example polymer modules. This is due to high levels of mercury contamination of fossil fuels used in the national power industry. Hence, the project titled:" Hybrid Adsorption Systems for Reducing Mercury Emissions Using High Effective Polymer Components", acronym HYBREM, has attempted to build an innovative technical line that combines several techniques for the treatment of exhaust gases from harmful mercury compounds. The used technology is based on polymer modules and the injection of various solid sorbents. The advantage of the built-in installation will be its mobility, which can be tested on a variety of power plants. The obtained results of the flue gas purification by means of the designed pilot installation will determine whether the constructed prototype is effective under all conditions of Polish coal-fired power plants. Knowledge of this issue will enable the efficient development of industrial technologies for the purification of flue gas from mercury simultaneously meeting the requirements of the BAT/BREF conclusions.
