FGD Roots Blower
FGD Roots Blower in desulfurization processes is to provide sufficient oxidizing air to the absorber slurry pool, forcibly oxidizing calcium sulfite (CaSO₃) into stable gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O), thereby ensuring desulfurization efficiency and by-product quality.
I. Key Functions Analysis
Completing Chemical Conversion: In wet desulfurization, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) in the flue gas is absorbed by limestone slurry to form unstable calcium sulfite. If not oxidized in time, it will not only reduce desulfurization efficiency but also easily cause scaling inside the equipment. The oxidation Roots blower blows in air, providing oxygen (O₂), which promotes the complete oxidation of calcium sulfite into calcium sulfate, ultimately crystallizing into commercial-grade gypsum.
Improving System Operational Stability: FGD Roots blower has constant flow characteristics, maintaining a stable airflow output even with system pressure fluctuations, ensuring continuous and efficient oxidation reactions. This stability is crucial for maintaining desulfurization efficiency.
Optimizing By-product Quality: Sufficient oxidation can reduce the calcium sulfite content in gypsum to below 3%, preventing excessive impurities from affecting its resource utilization in building materials and other fields.

II. Equipment Selection and Process Adaptation Advantages:
Compact Structure and Easy Maintenance: Adopting an oil-free design avoids lubricating oil contamination of the slurry. Its simple structure and reliable operation make it suitable for long-term continuous operation.
Strong Corrosion Resistance: For the high humidity and corrosive characteristics of the desulfurization environment, the blower is often made of special materials or undergoes anti-corrosion treatment to extend its service life.
Supports Variable Frequency Control: Equipped with a variable frequency control system, the air volume can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual load, achieving energy-saving operation while ensuring oxidation effect.
