Abstract
An apparatus and method for separating unevaporated droplets from a hot gas stream such as a flue gas. The apparatus referred to as a droplet impingement device is designed to enable a modified electrostatic precipitator to efficiently remove sulfur dioxide and particulates. The droplet impingement device removes the unevaporated alkaline droplets and provides the first stage of flow correction necessary in reducing velocity mal-distribution.
