Wet FGD
Ammonium Sulfate / Ammonia-based FGD

Proprietary to and Patented by Marsulex Environmental Technologies

In the Ammonium Sulfate (AS) process, the absorption of SO2 is accomplished with either anhydrous or aqueous ammonia and converts the captured
SO2 into a high value crop fertilizer. This advanced technology provides a unique solution enabling power generators to achieve regulatory compliance
producing significant revenues by the sale of AS fertilizer.

Benefits of Ammonium Sulfate WFGD

Economics enhanced with low cost, high sulfur fuels

Reduces / eliminates solid and liquid waste disposal requirements / costs
Valuable AS fertilizer provides revenue stream
No CO2 greenhouse gas is produced in the AS WFGD process (unlike limestone/lime WFGD)

Opportunity Profile
The best opportunities to apply MET's AS Technology will be found at power plants that match the following profile:

High sulfur (2% or higher) fuel

Close proximity of ammonium sulfate user market
Unit size > 100MW +/-
Economically available ammonia source(s)

Advantages of AS WFGD System

Ammonia reagent more reactive than limestone and capable of achieving > 98% SO2 removal efficiency
Ammonia scrubber produces high value by-product versus low value gypsum or sulfite waste sludge
Designed with standard conventional critical equipment redundancy
AS water soluble chemistry prevents any internal build-up versus scaling potential with limestone scrubbing
Lower overall operating cost through elimination of waste product disposal and high value by-product production.
