Flue Gas Desulfurization WASTEWATER
FGD WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) is a process that can require the use of water to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gases produced by burning high sulfur fuels such as coal and oil. Also referred to as Flue Gas Scrubbing (FGS), FGD has been used since the 1960s in large stationary sources of pollution such as power generation plants.
The wastewater generated by Flue Gas Desulfurization is referred to as FGD wastewater (FGD water) or FGD bottom ash with wet scrubbers used to scrub the water of gases.
The result, however, is water high in contaminants and pollutants. The wastewater is often supersaturated with gypsum and is highly acidic with high concentrations of Total Dissolvable Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) with chlorides, fluorides, nitrates, nitrites and potentially harmful trace metals.
This water that comes from FGD must go through proper wastewater removal systems prior to discharge. Minetek has the ability to manage FGD wastewater through an innovative, yet simple, and sustainable groundwater management and water evaporation processing with a global network of specialists able to assist in any industrial setting around the world.

MINETEK provide a quality, proven solutions and are established as leading sound attenuation specialists.
Kipoi have successfully utilized MINETEK WATER evaporators on our process water pond to remove mine water and has contributed to help with our water balance. We are currently in the process of moving these units to where the catchment area is larger giving us better utilization of the evaporators.
After investigating a raft of different methods from sprinkler systems through to desalination systems (too costly for little benefit) we decided on the MINETEK WATER units. The evaporators were easy to install and once activated ran trouble free. We were very happy with the service from MINETEK and the reliability of the system.
MINETEK initially provided products for heavy mobile equipment noise abatement at the New Acland Mine. These installations have been very successful and prompted the contracting of MINETEK to conduct a full mobile fleet and fixed plant noise monitoring assessment at the Acland mine site.
Good product with great service leads to a great outcome. My dealings with MINETEK WATER and their supply and service of evaporator fans was one of high quality. I installed 10 evaporator fans on climate control to maximise efficiency and the results were incredible. From the first meeting through to commissioning nothing was a problem for the MINETEK WATER team. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with water disposal issues.
