Examples

• All

• Industrial coal-plant emissions are typically desulfurized by one of three methods: packed towers, tray towers, or spray towers.

• They result in a synthetic gas that is cooled, making steam for electricity generation, and desulfurized before combustion in a turbine.

  Academic text (1990)

• Some plants added desulfurizing scrubbers to their smokestacks or switched to low sulfur, coal and natural gas.

• But the study also pointed to climate downsides: desulfurizing fuel would reduce the formation of cooling sulfate particles, which currently offset some global warming.

• Although originally intended to desulfurize coal, the first catenary grid, 7 feet in diameter, was installed at the Nestle Foods coffee plant in Freehold, N.J., in 1982.

• It would also reduce power consumption because, unlike spray towers, water only needs to be pressurized to about 5 pounds per square inch to wet the mesh and desulfurize the flue gas drawn through it.

  Academic text (1996)

• The tray towers contain perforated metal trays onto which the limestone/water slurry is dispersed, so that flue gases passing through the perforations would be desulfurized.

  Academic text (1996)

• Spray towers eliminate the clogging experienced by packed and tray towers by relying on erosion-resistant spray nozzles to create a droplet pattern that serves as the surface area needed to desulfurize flue gases.

• The factory uses advanced technology to desulfurize the exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere.

• Our new process efficiently desulfurizes the crude oil, making it cleaner and safer for the environment.
