In tackling continuously growing environmental challenges, effective flue gas sulfurization (FGD) enables you to control your plant’s emissions and chemical balance more effectively. Flue gas desulfurization is a set of technologies used to remove SO2 from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants, as well as from the emissions of other SO2 emitting processes.

One of the most integral parts of the FGD process is that of pumped slurry applications, which contain fluid properties consisting of both abrasives and solids that require the appropriate application of sealing technology.

These slurries are moved through a series of pumps, agitators, fans and blowers during the FGD process. However, when it comes to this process, it’s essential for companies to ensure they are selecting the proper seal, as this is critical in maximizing the operational performance of equipment.

Below is an explanation of slurry types, as well as sealing recommendations to ensure optimal sealing and equipment uptime.
