Power/FGD

The power industry is one of the largest industries that IA Mechanical serves. In addition to normal power plant equipment and care, this industry also deals with Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) units that require additional care and attention. With state-of-the-art equipment and a highly skilled team, no job is too complex for us to complete.

FGD Overview

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) technology is essential to counteract the adverse effects of sulfur oxides in the environment. Sulfur oxide is released during many processes in the power industry. This technology has become even more crucial for the power industry recently because of growing environmental regulations implemented by federal and local governments.
FGD Scrubber systems are used to maintain appropriate levels of sulfur oxide. With recent regulations, these have grown in population as companies are required to retrofit them to their current exhaust systems. There are two types of scrubber systems: wet and dry. Wet scrubbers collect harmful substances with water or a different type of liquid and work with both gaseous and solid material; whereas dry scrubbers use specific chemicals that target, absorb, and dissolve harmful substances and work for gaseous materials.

FGD Services

• FGD Retrofitting – As mentioned above, many companies are being forced to install FGD systems into current exhaust systems. IA Mechanical can work with your company to ensure that the new system will function properly and meet today’s emissions requirements.

• FGD Scrubber Repairs – If FGD Scrubber systems fall below the emissions standards, they are likely going to need to be repaired. Two main issues are usually the culprit: calcium scale issues and pumps, pipes & booster fan piece failure. Regardless of the cause, IA Mechanical will help to quickly resolve the issue and help you avoid any emissions penalties.
