Air Pollution
Control

Enfil's Air Pollution Control Division offers solutions for controlling atmospheric pollution from particulates or flue gas desulfurization systems. Composed of a team of highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the environmental field, Enfil serves both national and international markets, providing projects, equipment, and installations on a turn-key basis, as well as technical assistance to upgrade and enhance the performance of existing systems.

FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS

We are present at all stages of the process, from the capture of pollutants through mobile or fixed hoods, to treatment in bag filters or electrostatic precipitators, up to the release of clean gases into the atmosphere.

In special cases of bag filters or electrostatic precipitators, Enfil designs gas flow modeling using CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics.

DUST REMOVAL

1. BAG FILTERS

Enfil offers the market pulse jet bag filters (both high and low pressure) and reverse air filters. The extensive experience accumulated in various applications allows Enfil to size the filter and specify the most suitable bag material for the process, providing the best cost-benefit ratio for the client. Additionally, we offer treatment and disposal of the residues generated by the dust collection equipment.

> Cleaning compressed air pressure: 6 bar(g)

> Compartmentalized (individual compartment isolation)

> Online/offline cleaning

> Maximum bag length: 6.5 m

> Particulate emission: less than 5 mg/Nm³, if necessary

> Treatment and Disposal of Solid Material

> Modular design, with circular modules (greater mechanical strength)

> Cleaning air pressure: 0.4 bar(g)

> More efficient cleaning (only two bags per pulse)

> Always online cleaning

> Maximum bag length: 12.0 m

> Particulate emission: less than 5 mg/Nm³, if necessary

> Used in customized applications in electric steel plants..

> Gas filtration is carried out in the inside-to-outside direction of the sleeves.

> Sleeve cleaning is performed by reversing the gas flow through the filter fabric.


> Flow reversal is achieved using dampers, utilizing the system's own clean flow
or with the assistance of a specific fan for the cleaning system.

> Sleeves have customized nominal dimensions of 300 mm in diameter and
10,000 mm in length.

2. ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS

By applying an electric field to the electrodes, particulate matter suspended in the gas flow is ionized and attracted to the collector plates. Plate cleaning is performed by periodic rapping, either by rotary hammers (side) or electromagnetic rappers (top).

Used for coal, oil, biomass boilers, chemical recovery boilers, lime kilns
(metallurgy and pulp and paper), and cement kilns, among others.

> Distance between collector plates: 300 mm to 400 mm

> Field height: up to 12 m

> Field length: up to 3.7 m

> Electrode: rigid

Applied in sintering, pelletizing processes, and coal boilers.

> Distance between collector plates: 300 mm or 600 mm (exclusive technology)

> Field height: up to 15 m

> Field length: up to 5.25 m

> Electrode: rigid.

ACID GAS REMOVAL

Enfil offers wet, semi-dry, or dry gas desulfurization systems.

Primarily applied in large thermal power plants and/or boilers. Acid gases react with the
limestone slurry, forming calcium sulfite, which is then oxidized to sulfate through aeration.

After dewatering, the resulting solid residue has commercial value and can be used, among
other things, in construction (e.g., gypsum board manufacturing).
SOx removal efficiency: up to 98%

Uses seawater as the reagent for SOx absorption, i.e., the natural alkalinity of seawater is
responsible for SOx elimination from the gas phase. Similar to the limestone process, the
sulfite generated in the absorption reaction is oxidized to sulfate through aeration. The
major advantage of this process is the absence of byproducts, meaning the water used in
gas washing is discharged back into the sea.

SOx removal efficiency: up to 98%

In this process, the reagent, a suspension of hydrated lime, is injected by rotary atomizers
into the absorption tower, where simultaneous absorption of SOx and evaporation of water
from the suspension occur. After absorption in the tower, the gases are sent to a bag filter
or electrostatic precipitator, where the dry process byproduct is captured. This byproduct
has no commercial value.

SOx removal efficiency: up to 92%

Pulverized hydrated lime is injected into the absorber, where it reacts with the SOx in the
gas phase. The gases are directed to a bag filter or electrostatic precipitator. Part of the
collected material is recirculated, and part is discarded.

Enfil offers NOx removal systems, in boilers, heaters, dryers, ovens and
general industrial processes. The NOx reduction catalytic systems (SCR)
consists of the catalytic reduction of NOx to N2 and H2O by injection of NH3 or
solution of ureia in the presence of a catalyst.
