Air Pollution Church & Dwight’s interest in air pollution began in the 1960’s, following the discovery by the electric power industry that sodium bicarbonate is effective for acid gas control when directly injected as a dry sorbent. Sodium Bicarbonate Dry Injection Technology (SBDIT) was developed and found to be uniquely effective in reducing SO2 concentrations generated by coal-fired power plants. Since then, SBDIT has been used to control SO2, HCl, SO3, and HF arising from a variety of combustion processes: Waste Incineration Aluminum Smelting Brick Manufacture Foundries Ethanol Production Co-Gen Facilities Effective Greater than 90% removal of HCl and SO2 Economical Small foot print, low capital cost, easy to retrofit, simple operation Lower sorbent handling volumes Lower ash disposal volumes Eliminate maintenance issues associated with wet, corrosive alternative systems Call us to discuss how you can use Sodium Bicarbonate Dry Injection to solve your acid gas issues.
