Flue Gas Desulphurisation Wastewater Treatment Solution
Overview
This technology discovers the critical component for the total nitorgen of coal-fired power station wastewater. This novel and highly cost-effective chemical and biological process was developed to treat effleunt in a low-carbon manner, while complying with the discharge requirements of local government.

Problem addressed
Conventional wastewater treatment method cannot remove total nitrogen in coal-fired power plant wastewater effectively, making it difficult to comply with the discharge requirements of local government.
Innovation
- Discover that the main ingredient of total nitrogen in wastewater comes from Nitrogen-Sulphur (NS) compound, which is difficult to treat with conventional treament method.
- This novel solution can convert the NS compound into nitrate, thereby removing all nitrogen in the wastewater through advanced biochemical technology.
- Simple and feasible biochemcial treatment process.
Key impact
- It is highly cost-effective and can significantly reduce investment and operating costs.
- Low energy consumption and low carbon emission during treatment process.
- The total nitrogen contents in pollutant were reduced after treatment, resulting in wastewater that met the stipulated discharge standard.
