Flue Gas Treatment
XeroSorp Dry Sorption

In Kanadevia Inova’s XeroSorp dry scrubbing process, corrosive acid gases (for example HCl, HF and SO2) are neutralised with the help of adsorption additives.

The term “xero” is a Greek prefix derived from the word “ξηρός” (xērós), meaning “dry”. As the name suggests, the process does not involve the introduction of any water at all. Instead we use two different adsorption additives for neutralisation: hydrated lime and sodium hydrogen carbonate (commonly known as sodium bicarbonate).

Depending on the additive used for neutralisation we call the process:

  • XeroSorp lime (if hydrated lime is used)

  • XeroSorp bicar (if sodium hydrogen carbonate is used)

The Main Advantages of the XeroSorp Process:

  • Low operating and maintenance costs thanks to simple design and operation

  • Low process investment and minimal infrastructure costs thanks to compact design

  • Minimal use of adsorption additives and very low residue generation

  • XeroSorp bicar reaches even the low BREF emission values under optimal conditions

Grate Combustion systems

The combustion system is the best-proven thermal waste treatment technology for mixed municipal, industrial or hazardous waste, and the heart of any modern, state-of-the-art Waste to Energy (WtE) plant.

Flue gas treatment

Incinerating waste produces exhaust gases laden with diverse pollutants. Different processes are used to remove these pollutants before the purified flue gas leaves the plant safely through the stack.

Carbon capture

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue gas produced in hard-to-abate industries and properly storing it (a process called carbon capture and storage or CCS) is a key component of most governments’ net-zero strategies.

Energy recovery

Recovering the energy content of waste is a key component of WtE technology. Since the process is largely renewable and involves only a low level of emissions, it also helps significantly reduce greenhouse gases.

Residue treatment

Thermal waste treatment produces residues which can be either reused or landfilled. The principal components are slags and ashes, consisting mostly of non-combustible waste constituents such as glass, minerals or scrap metals.

EcoFlex™ WtE plant solution

The new pre-engineered EcoFlex™ solution provides a modern waste infrastructure based on proven in-house technologies, allowing a cost-optimised design of single-line Waste to Energy plant construction and operation.
