Ozone oxidizes NO into higher, more soluble NOx forms so the wet scrubber downstream can absorb them. That reaction only works in a certain temperature range: if the gas is too hot the ozone decomposes before it can react, so a cooling water spray curtain has to sit ahead of the ozone injection point.
The two injection systems therefore constrain each other. Spray too close and the ozone meets droplets that have not fully evaporated; too far away and the gas has not cooled enough. On top of that, the ozone has to mix evenly and have sufficient residence time before entering the scrubber — three requirements pulling the injector position in three different directions.
A flue-gas treatment system has to meet the emission limit while being constrained by the space available. Simulation allows every layout option to be tested within that tight space at the cost of computing time alone, avoiding the losses of an incorrect installation.
For removal efficiency, injector position matters more than equipment capacity. Send the gas-path schematic and operating conditions — CFDWAYS will respond with an assessment approach.
