How are Denitrification Devices Reshaping Industrial Flue Gas Treatment?
Release Time : 2025-12-01
With the deepening implementation of the "dual-carbon" strategy and the continuous tightening of environmental standards, industrial flue gas treatment has moved from "meeting emission standards" to a new stage of "ultra-low emissions" and even "near-zero emissions." As core equipment for flue gas purification in high-emission industries such as coal-fired power plants, steel, cement, coking, and glass, denitrification devices are profoundly reshaping the path, efficiency, and value of industrial flue gas treatment through technological innovation, system integration, and intelligent upgrades.
1. From End-of-pipe Treatment to Collaborative Control: Technology Integration Achieves High-Efficiency Purification
Traditional flue gas treatment often adopts a segmented process of "denitrification first, then dust removal, and then desulfurization," which suffers from equipment redundancy, high energy consumption, and large footprint. Modern denitrification devices are evolving towards "integrated and collaborative" solutions. For example, integrated processes such as activated carbon (coke) adsorption, activated coke catalysis, and SNCR-SCR combined denitrification + wet desulfurization can simultaneously remove multiple pollutants such as SO₂, NOₓ, dust, and even mercury and dioxins within a single system.
2. Material and Process Innovation: Overcoming Bottlenecks in High-Sulfur, High-Dust, and Low-Temperature Operating Conditions
Faced with complex and ever-changing industrial flue gas conditions, traditional catalysts are prone to poisoning, and desulfurizer utilization is low. The new generation of denitrification devices achieves breakthroughs through material innovation: low-temperature SCR catalysts can efficiently denitrate at 150–200℃; new calcium-based, magnesium-based, or sodium-based absorbents improve the desulfurization reaction rate and by-product purity; integrated ceramic filter tube devices integrate dust removal, denitrification, and desulfurization functions onto the surface of high-temperature filter cartridges, adapting to high-dust and high-humidity environments. These technologies enable the devices to move beyond ideal operating conditions and flexibly adapt to various industrial scenarios, truly achieving "reliable operation under all conditions."
3. Resource Utilization and Recycling: From "Pollution Control" to "Turning Waste into Treasure"
Denitrification devices are gradually shedding their "cost center" positioning and shifting towards resource-based value creation. Gypsum produced by limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization can be purified and used in building materials; ammonium sulfate, a byproduct of ammonia desulfurization, can be used as agricultural fertilizer; and waste denitrification catalysts can be recycled to extract rare metals such as vanadium and tungsten. Some advanced projects even couple CO₂ capture with the desulfurization system to explore pathways for the synergistic utilization of carbon and sulfur. This "waste-to-waste, waste-to-treasure" model not only reduces the environmental burden on enterprises but also aligns with the concept of a circular economy, promoting the transformation of flue gas treatment from "passive compliance" to "proactive efficiency creation."
4. Intelligent Empowerment: Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Precise Control Capabilities
Relying on the Internet of Things, big data, and AI algorithms, modern denitrification devices are generally equipped with intelligent control systems. By monitoring parameters such as inlet flue gas flow rate, temperature, and SO₂/NOₓ concentration in real time, the system can automatically adjust key variables such as ammonia injection rate, slurry pH value, and oxidation air volume, avoiding ammonia escape or equipment corrosion caused by excessive dosing. Simultaneously, predictive maintenance functions can provide early warnings of risks such as catalyst deactivation and nozzle blockage, reducing unplanned downtime. This closed-loop process of "perception-analysis-decision-execution" makes the equipment operate more stably, energy-efficiently, and economically.
Denitrification devices are no longer simply environmental protection equipment, but key carriers for industrial green transformation. Through technological integration, material breakthroughs, resource recycling, and intelligent control, they systematically improve the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of flue gas treatment.
