Emission Control Technology

Spray Dryer Absorber (SDA)

Spray Dryer Absorbers facilitate the removal of acidic pollutants, heavy metals, and dust from flue- and off-gases at fossil-fuelled power plants, waste incinerators and industrial installations.

Key Components

The Spray Dryer Absorber – the Rotary Atomizer, the Gas Disperser and the Absorber Chamber – is the heart of the Spray Drying Absorption process.

Spray Drying Absorption - the unique use of the spray drying technology for acid-gas absorption - was originally invented by GEA in the 1970s.

Ever since, it has been subject to continuous further development and optimized to meet changing conditions and requirements. Hence, the process stands as an efficient, versatile and thoroughly tested technology.
