Why do power plants use desulfurization and defoaming agents?
During the operation of power plants, a large number of bubbles are often generated due to surface tension, auxiliary equipment and high liquid level. The presence of these harmful bubbles will not only affect the daily power generation process of the power plant, but may even cause explosions. Fortunately, power plant staff have found many ways to solve the foam problem. This article will explore the reasons for the use of power plant desulfurization defoamers from three aspects: the causes of foam generation, the harm of foam, and the user’s concerns about power plant desulfurization defoamers.
I. Causes of foaming in power plant desulfurization
(1) The chemical reaction of other additives added to the desulfurization process of the power plant causes foam generation.
(2) High-speed stirring, gas enters at the same time, generating bubbles;
(3) Soft water quality causes foaming.
II. The harm of foam in power plant desulfurization
(1) Foam has a great impact on the daily operation of the power plant and will also lead to an increase in power generation costs.
(2) Foam will increase surface tension, leading to virtual level of the power plant, overflow of slurry and loss of raw materials.
(3) Foam generation leads to scaling and clogging of heat exchangers.
3. Users’ concerns about power plant desulfurization defoamers
(1) Can power plant desulfurization defoamers quickly reduce surface tension? Will defoaming be slow?
(2) Will the addition of defoamers affect the normal operation of the desulfurization system? Are the exhaust gas indicators in line with expectations?
(3) Will excessive use of defoamers have a negative impact?
For the above customer questions, Xiaobian is fully confident to answer you. Without affecting the normal operation of the desulfurization system, the surface tension can be quickly reduced and the foam can be broken. Defoamers are safe and environmentally friendly products. Even if the dosage is too large, it will not affect!
