Abstract

A system and a method for industrial plant or utility plant flue gas desulfurization, with zero waste water liquid discharge from a wet flue gas desulfurization system utilized therein, are disclosed herein. The wet flue gas desulfurization system is supplied an absorption liquid for contact with a flue gas to absorb flue gas acid gases. Waste water from the wet flue gas desulfurization system is heated under pressure in a heat exchanger to produce heated waste water, which is supplied to a flash vessel to produce steam. The produced steam is supplied to the flue gas upstream of a particulate collection system and the wet flue gas desulfurization system, supplied to the flue gas upstream of the wet flue gas desulfurization system, or supplied to absorption liquid circulated to the wet flue gas desulfurization system.
