Demister blockage breakthrough saves power plants from costly downtime.
The article discusses why demisters in a 600 MW unit wet FGD system get blocked and how to prevent it. The researchers looked at the demister's design and the types of build-up that cause blockages. They studied a power plant's FGD system for 5 years to find the main reasons for blockages and scaling. They came up with specific solutions to prevent these issues.
