Gas and Liquid Emissions
A new siloxane plant located in Eastern China required a complete system for destruction of liquid and gaseous waste streams containing high levels of silicon and chlorides. Verantis designed and supplied a complete system including emission control to meet local environmental codes.
The system consisted of a down-fired incinerator specifically designed to handle the high loading of silicon dioxide produced during thermal destruction of the waste. Following the incinerator, the emission abatement system consisted of multiple stages of specialized control equipment designed for high-efficiency removal of the corrosive halogen acid gases and submicron silicon dioxide particulate. This included a high-temperature quench, venturi prescrubber, packed condenser tower, and multi-stage Ionizing Wet Scrubber (IWS®). The primary component for emission abatement is Verantis’ proprietary Ionizing Wet Scrubber (IWS®) which is especially suited for this application due to its ability to simultaneously remove acid gases and submicron particulate. The unique crossflow arrangement of the IWS minimizes fouling and maintenance shutdowns and is especially suited for applications with very fine, sticky particulate such as silicon dioxide (SiO2). The entire system was designed to meet or exceed Chinese emission standards per GB18484-2001.
Verantis was awarded this order due to our extensive experience in engineering custom solutions for the treatment of hazardous waste streams in the silicone chemicals industry and also for our ability to meet and adhere to strict specifications which were critical for this installation.
Overview
Verantis designed and supplied a complete process system for destruction of liquid and gaseous silicone chemical waste streams. The turn key project also include on site installation.
Equipment
For this project ,Verantis
designed and supplied all
equipment for a complete
incineration system and a
four stage IWS®.
Auxiliary Equipment
In addition to the major
components, the scope
of supply also included
all pumps, piping,
instrumentation control
panels , on-site installation
and start-up supervision.
Technical Capabilities
