In HZI’s XeroSorp dry scrubbing process, corrosive acid gases (for example HCl, HF and SO2) are neutralised with the help of adsorption additives.
The term “xero” is a Greek prefix derived from the word “ξηρός” (xērós), meaning “dry”. As the name suggests, the process does not involve the introduction of any water at all. Instead we use two different adsorption additives for neutralisation: hydrated lime and sodium hydrogen carbonate (commonly known as sodium bicarbonate).
XeroSorp lime (if hydrated lime is used), or
XeroSorp bicar (if sodium hydrogen carbonate is used).
Low operating and maintenance costs thanks to simple design and operation
Low process investment and minimal infrastructure costs thanks to compact design
Minimal use of adsorption additives and very low residue generation
XeroSorp bicar reaches even the low BREF emission values under optimal conditions
