Applications Overview

Under appropriate conditions, dry injection technology is the most cost-effective solution to meet your emission control requirements. Sodium bicarbonate is the safest, most efficient and, over time, the most economical dry injection sorbent. Sorb-N-C blends 10% activated carbon with sorbent grade sodium bicarbonate to give the added benefit of dioxin and heavy metal removal.

ARM & HAMMER® brand sorbents are currently used in a diverse range of acid gas control applications, including:

• Municipal solid waste incineration
  
• Medical waste incineration
  
• Aluminum smelters
  
• Brick and concrete manufacturers
  
• Co-Gen facilities
  
• SO3 (Plume) control
  
• NH4Cl (Plume) control
  
• Refineries
  
• Coal and oil fired power generators
  

Dry injection technology with sodium bicarbonate sorbent is now being used by a wide range of facilities in need of strict emissions control. Dry injection is a very simple system compared to other flue gas de-acidification processes. It eliminates the difficulties of handling wet slurries.

The benefits of operating with the Sodium Bicarbonate Dry Injection Technology include:

• Lower investment capital
  
• Lower operational and maintenance costs
  
• Minimal system modifications required
  
• Reduced pressure drop improves APCD performance
  
• Superior worker safety with easy-to-handle sorbent
  
• Excellent flow performance and storage characteristics
  
• Proven effectiveness in a wide temperature range: 300 - 1000 degrees F
  
• Works for both fabric filters and electrostatic precipitators
