Improved methods and systems are provided for the on-board removal of sulfur dioxide generated by a marine vessel. The method includes spraying an alkaline fluid into the flue gas to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and flowing the saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid through a venturi to cause the particulates in the flue gas to impact the alkaline fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.

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

A system for treating engine exhaust gas, which engine exhaust gas has a temperature of between T1 and T2, comprises a SCR reactor for converting NOx in a medium containing the engine exhaust gas into N2 and H2O. The SCR reactor has an inlet for receiving the medium and an outlet for outputting the NOx reduced medium. A first boiler unit has an outlet for outputting boiler exhaust gas (temperature greater than T3, T3>T1) from the first boiler unit. A mixing unit mixes the engine exhaust gas with the boiler exhaust gas to produce the medium. The mixing unit has a first inlet communicating with the engine for receiving the engine exhaust gas, a second inlet communicating with the outlet of the first boiler unit for receiving the boiler exhaust gas and an outlet for outputting the medium. The mixing unit outlet communicates with the inlet of the SCR reactor.

A system, a use of such a system and a multi system for cleaning exhaust gas from a combustion engine. The system comprises a first exhaust gas scrubber to communicate with a scrubber water circulation tank. A first outlet of the first exhaust gas scrubber is connectable to a first inlet of the scrubber water circulation tank, and a first inlet of the first exhaust gas scrubber is connectable to a first outlet of the scrubber water circulation tank, to enable circulation of scrubber water between the scrubber water circulation tank and the first exhaust gas scrubber. An air supply device feeds air into the first exhaust gas scrubber to aerate the scrubber water during its passage through the first exhaust gas scrubber. Accordingly, a second inlet of the first exhaust gas scrubber is arranged to be connected to an outlet of the air supply device.

An integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides from a flue gas stream comprising a desulfurization chamber to remove sulfur-type pollutants and a carbon dioxide capture system in fluid communication with the desulfurization chamber; where the carbon dioxide capture system is operative to absorb carbon dioxide from the flue gas stream.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a device comprising a sorbent polymer composite and at least one phosphonium halide. In some embodiments, the device is configured to treat a flue gas stream. In some embodiments, the flue gas stream comprises oxygen, water vapor, at least one SOx compound, and mercury vapor. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising treating the flue gas stream by: passing the flue gas stream over the device, reacting the oxygen and water vapor of the flue gas stream with the at least one SOx compound on the sorbent polymer composite, so as to form sulfuric acid, and reacting the mercury vapor with the at least one phosphonium halide, so as to fix molecules of the mercuiy vapor to the sorbent polymer composite.

A wet desulfurization apparatus which removes sulfur oxides in flue gas from a boiler 11 includes a mist collection/agglomeration apparatus which is provided on a downstream side of the desulfurization apparatus and forms agglomerated SO.sub.3 mist by causing particles of SO.sub.3 mist contained in flue gas 12B from the wet desulfurization apparatus to be bonded together and have bloated particle sizes; a CO.sub.2 recovery apparatus constituted by a CO.sub.2 absorption tower having a CO.sub.2 absorption unit which removes CO.sub.2 contained in flue gas by being brought into contact with a CO.sub.2 absorbent and an absorbent regeneration tower which recovers CO.sub.2 by releasing CO.sub.2 from the CO.sub.2 absorbent having absorbed CO.sub.2 and regenerates the CO.sub.2 absorbent; and a mist collection unit which collects CO.sub.2 absorbent bloated mist bloated by the CO.sub.2 absorbent being absorbed by the agglomerated SO.sub.3 mist in the CO.sub.2 absorption unit.

A wet inline scrubber with a side inlet using alkali scrubber fluid for reducing the amount of SOx in the exhaust gas of engines of a marine vessel, including a vertically extending exhaust gas reaction tube, lower and upper scrubbing chamber including alkali scrubber fluid injectors to scrub the exhaust gas, and a used scrubber fluid drain. The lower chamber has an exhaust gas outlet with a central opening arranged to let the exhaust gas pass through and a body extending from the central opening up to an outer wall thereof which is in contact with the inner wall of the exhaust gas reaction tube. Between the body and the inner wall, slit-shaped openings allow scrubber fluid to flow from the upper scrubbing chamber to the lower scrubbing chamber and used scrubber fluid to flow over the inlet side for the exhaust gas in the lower scrubbing chamber.
