DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps - Corrosion-Resistant & High-Efficiency

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems represent critical infrastructure in today's environmentally regulated industrial landscape. At the heart of these systems operate specialized DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps engineered to handle highly corrosive slurries and abrasive media. These pumps serve as the circulatory system of power generation facilities, chemical plants, and heavy industries committed to meeting global emissions standards.

As environmental regulations tighten worldwide, the demand for efficient FGD systems has seen 18% year-over-year growth (GreenTech Industry Report, 2023). The development of high-performance DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps has become crucial for plant operators seeking to balance operational efficiency with compliance requirements. These pumps undergo continuous innovation to address extreme operating conditions characterized by:

• pH levels ranging from 4.5-6.5 with high chloride concentrations
• Abrasive limestone slurries with up to 20% solid content
• Operating temperatures between 10-60°C
• Continuous operation cycles exceeding 8,000 hours annually
