Sulfuric Acid Formation
2) SO2 oxidized to
SO3 (~1%)
4) SO3 + H2O => H2SO4
1) Fuel S
converted to SO2
3) SO2 oxidized to
SO3 (~1%)
Condensed sulfuric acid forms sticky,
corrosive deposits in “cold-end” of APH

Ammonium Bisulfate (ABS)
2) NH3 + SO3 + H2O => (NH4)HSO4
NH3 Injected
for SNCR NH3 Injected
for SCR
Condensed Ammonium Bisulfate forms
sticky, corrosive deposits in “middle” of APH
1) NH3 Injected for NOx Control

Strategy: APH Performance

SO3 + H2O -» H2SO4
NH3 + SO3 + H2O -» (NH4)HSO4
1) Inject Sorbent to Remove SO3 Prior to Air Heater
2) Reduce Exit Gas Temp from Air Heater

Air Heater Fouling Impact
AH Inlet SO3 Concentration
0 5 10 15 20
No Fouling Gradual Fouling
Goal: Control SO3 to 5 ppm or less at AH inlet

• 5 ppm SO3
• Operated 24/7
• 220 F gas out
• Typ. Soot-blowing
• 1500 hrs total
• No dP rise
Full-scale implementation
planned at SBS site in 2014

Strategy: Heat Rate Benefit
![Page 15: “Strategy to Improve Air - The McIlvaine Company · “Strategy to Improve Air Preheater Performance via SO 3 Control” Sterling Gray, URS Corporation McIlvaine Hot Topic January](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1afdf97f8b9a2d258e2035/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Strategy: Other Co-Benefits
• Reduced CO2 Emissions
– higher unit energy efficiency
• Enhanced Mercury Capture
– greater carbon absorption capacity
– less SO3 interference
• Enhanced ESP Performance
– lower gas volumetric flow (higher SCA)
– lower ash resistivity (temp and SO3 effect)
• Reduced Gas Path Pressure Drop
