Abstract

An integrated flue gas treatment and condensing heat exchanger is used to scrub sulfur dioxide from the flue gas produced by a power boiler used in a paper mill operating a kraft process. Sensible and latent heat from the flue gas is recovered and the condensate effluent from the condensing heat exchanger contains valuable chemicals that are returned to and used in the kraft process.
