Abstract:
A method for controlling mercury release, emission and/or re-emission levels in a treated flue gas and a seawater effluent waste stream through control of a sulphite concentration within a seawater scrubber system is disclosed. One method for controlling mercury release, emission and re-emission levels through control of sulphite concentration is to measure the sulphite concentration of seawater entering a seawater scrubber system and comparing the same to a predetermined sulphite concentration value. If the comparison reveals the measured sulphite concentration is above the predetermined sulphite concentration values, the amount of fresh seawater and/or oxidation air supplied to the seawater scrubber system is increased. If the comparison reveals the measured sulphite concentration is below the predetermined sulphite concentration values, the amount of fresh seawater and oxidation air supplied to the seawater scrubber system is decreased.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for controlling mercury release, emission and re-emission levels in a treated combustion flue gas and a seawater effluent waste stream comprising:\n supplying a combustion flue gas to a seawater scrubber system for direct contact with seawater for removal of contaminants from the flue gas to produce a treated flue gas and a seawater effluent waste stream; measuring a sulphite concentration in the seawater entering the seawater scrubber system or in the produced effluent seawater for comparison to a predetermined sulphite concentration value; and adjusting one or more seawater scrubber system parameters to increase or decrease sulphite concentration to control levels of mercury release, emission and re-emission in each the produced treated flue gas and the seawater effluent waste stream.
