Abstract

Abstract This work is a continuation of the article “Methods for Determining the Performance and Efficiency Parameters of the Flue-gas Condenser Sedimentation Tank”. During the experimental determination of Particulate Matter (PM) physical parameters, a described methodology was used. The results obtained affected the choice of water purification technology. Sedimentation technology was selected but provided that a filter element should be present in the installation. The article describes the types of industrial sedimentation tanks used more often. In condition that the system should be compact, while at the same time the purification efficiency rate should be high, the new suitable design of the water treatment system was developed.

Highlights

  • The combustion of biomass results in energy, emissions, and ash

  • The ash is classified in two ways: bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA)

  • Particulate Matter (PM) with a radius of less than 10 μm is identified as having a positive sedimentation time in the water and PM with the radius of more than 10 μm having negative sedimentation time in the water

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The combustion of biomass results in energy, emissions, and ash. The ash is classified in two ways: bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA). Riga Technical University's (RTU) Institute of Energy Systems and Environment in carrying out an experimental study of the wet flue-gas treatment system (scrubber) for households (Fog Unit (FU)) deals with water treatment problems. Mainly carried out concerning the operation and design of the FU, the survey results should be extended to the water purification aspect of the system. Based on the results of the survey, the study aimed to improve the water treatment process in the FU system, to design and build an appropriate compact water treatment system. For this purpose, it was first necessary to investigate the physical parameters of PM, such as density, mass, and quantity distribution by size. This will mainly make it possible to understand which water purification technology is more suitable for the FU system
