NOZZLES FOR FLUE-GAS DESULFURIZATION

Flue-gas desulfurization in power plants requires noz-

zles that guarantee precise long-term operation and are
also to withstand extremely aggressive ambient con-
ditions. Lechler has developed atomizing nozzles made
of ceramic materials, e.g. from SIC, SISIC or ReSIC,
for these applications.

Lechler TwinAbsorb® nozzles ensure efficient flue gas cleaning

and reliable SO2 separation. Their improved efficiency, reduced
operating costs as well as low maintenance costs make
TwinAbsorb® nozzles the first choice for power plant operators
for both process and economic reasons.

In addition to the TwinAbsorb® series, Lechler also offers a comprehensive range of nozzles for flue gas
desulfurization in a wide range of designs and materials that are exactly tailored to your specific application.

Twin4Absorb
Twin4Absorb nozzles are a further development of the Twin-Absorb® nozzle series.
Four overlapping spray cones generate additional jet collisions and thus a more active
reaction surface. Thanks to the enhance spatial distribution, the Twin4Absorb nozzles
are ideal for optimizing existing scrubbers.
