Engineered Pump Solutions for Waste Incineration and and Coal-Fired Power Plants
Flue gas cleaning in waste incineration plants, waste-to-energy facilities, and coal-fired power plants places exceptionally high demands on pump technology. Highly corrosive process media, abrasive solids, fluctuating temperatures and continuous operation require robust, reliable and application‑specific pump solutions to ensure safe and efficient plant operation.
Rheinhütte Pumpen provides engineered pump solutions for flue gas cleaning systems, designed to meet the demanding chemical and mechanical conditions of modern emission control processes.
Process Requirements and Challenges
Flue gas cleaning systems are a key component of modern waste incineration plants and coal-fired power stations and serve to:
- compliance with strict environmental regulations
- reliably remove pollutants such as sulfur oxides, chlorides, heavy metals, and particulate matter
- ensure safe energy recovery from waste or low-emission power generation from coal
From a pumping perspective, these systems involve challenging operating conditions, including:
- aggressive chemical media
- abrasive and solids‑laden fluids
- fluctuating temperatures
- continuous 24/7 operation
These conditions require pump designs that go far beyond standard industrial solutions.
Engineered Pump Solutions for Flue Gas Cleaning
Rheinhütte Pumpen develops application‑specific pump solutions for all relevant stages of flue gas cleaning, including:
- wet and dry flue gas desulphurization systems
- transfer of lime slurry, sodium hydroxide and scrubbing liquids
