Wet desulfurization FGD system play a critical role in reducing emissions of SOx from coal fired power plants. However, the abrasive and corrosive limestone slurry used in this process requires highly reliable valves. Foyo valves have provided the solution for this problem in coal fired power plants.
The reduction of emissions of SOx (SO2) from coal fired power plants enables power plants to comply with the Large Combustion Plant Directive, which came into effect this year. For the Global power generation industry, the additional benefits of this technology allow larger plants with a thermal output above 60 MW to burn indigenous reserves of higher sulphur content coal at a lower cost.
After Installing 4 pcs Foyo’s ceramic fully lined ball valves in May 2011, Taishan Power plant has benefited from them. Before that, the end users used rubber lined butterfly valves , which were replaced several times every year. Foyo’s ceramic ball valves are designed for toughest conditions and are maintenance free. The power plant has not had to replace their valves in the past five years, which has helped them cut down maintenance and replacement costs.
