A method facilitates operation of an incinerator for solid fuel. The incinerator includes a device for separating ash from flue gas. The method includes collecting ash deposits originating from the flue gas, resulting in collected ash. To improve the flowability of the ash collected, the method further includes introducing a powdery additive material including i) clay and ii) calcium carbonate into the flue gas. At the location where the additive material is introduced, the flue gas has a temperature of at least 700° C. The additive is introduced with a rate R of at least 0.1 times the mass of ash in the stream of flue gas.

The present disclosure is directed to the use of elemental or speciated iodine and bromine to control total mercury emissions.

A CCUS system for exploiting a thickened oil reservoir based on an optimal flue gas CO.sub.2 enrichment ratio. The CCUS system comprises a flue gas CO.sub.2 enrichment unit, a flue gas injection unit, a thickened oil thermal production well group unit and a produced gas recovery unit; the fuel gas CO.sub.2 enrichment unit comprises an air separating enrichment unit and a boiler injection gas premixed tank; the air separating enrichment unit comprises an air separating primary device used for separating air into oxygen and nitrogen preliminarily, and an air separating secondary device used for further enriching a part of the oxygen which is subjected to the preliminary separation; and the boiler injection gas premixed tank is used for mixing the preliminarily separated nitrogen, the preliminarily separated part of the oxygen and/or the further enriched oxygen.

An improved method and system for treating flue gases from a natural gas furnace are provided. The method and system include an acidic gas trap (AGT) adsorber which enables the continuous adsorption and storage of SOx, NOx redox, and formic acid/CO/HC/CH.sub.4 oxidation, with a negligible pressure drop. The AGT adsorber includes a catalyst coating having a nanotube structure (e.g., a uniform nanostructure forest coating) or a uniform porous nanostructure of various low-cost oxides through scalable low temperature solution processes, including oxides of Ti, Cu, Ba, Mn, Zr, Zn, Sr, Ca, Li, K, Na, Al, or Ce.

A system for treating exhaust gas generated by combustion of biomass comprises a frame, a first cyclonic separation stage supported on the frame and comprising a plurality of parallel gas cyclones in fluidic communication with an inlet receiving the exhaust gas for removing from the exhaust gas particulate matter exceeding a first threshold size, and a second bag filtration stage supported on the frame and comprising a plurality of serially-communicated baghouses each comprising a plurality of bag filters therein for removing, from the partially treated exhaust gas received from the first cyclonic separation stage, particulate matter exceeding a second threshold size that is smaller than the first size which was passed through the first treatment stage. The gas cyclones of the first stage are arranged in a laterally extending row across the frame and the baghouses are arranged in a longitudinally extending row across the frame.

A method for improving effectiveness of a steam generator system includes providing a steam generator system including a steam generator vessel, an air supply system and an air preheater. The air supply system is in communication with the steam generator vessel through the air preheater and the steam generator vessel is in communication with the air preheater. The air supply system provides a first amount of air to the air preheater. At least a portion of the first amount of air is provided to the steam generator vessel. A flue gas mixture is discharged from the steam generator vessel. At least a portion of the flue gas mixture flows into the air preheater. SO.sub.3 in the flue gas mixture is mitigated before the flue gas mixture enters the air preheater.
