Sorbent Injection Systems
APC’s dry scrubbers, specifically our DS Series sorbent injection systems and baghouses, can offer the best combination of performance and cost for applications requiring removal of HCl, HF, SO2, mercury, VOCs, and other gaseous contaminants, as well as particulate matter (PM).
APC offers sorbent injection systems for sorbents such as hydrated lime, powdered activated carbon (PAC), brominated PAC, trona, sodium bicarbonate, or combinations of these — and baghouses to remove the reacted sorbents and contaminants from the exhaust gas.
Proven Solution for a Wide Range of Emission Control Applications
- For acid gases such as HCl, HF, SO2, HBr, DS Series dry sorbent injection systems utilize hydrated lime, trona, and sodium bicarbonate
- For mercury removal, APC supplies PAC and halogenated PAC injection systems
- APC’s sorbent injection systems can include the following components, depending on application requirements:
- Bulk bag unloaders with automated, controlled discharge
- Silos (with automated, controlled discharge)
- Metered feeders for adjustable, accurate sorbent feed rates
- Conveyance systems for sorbent delivery to exhaust gas
- Reactors for mixing sorbent into exhaust gas
- Baghouses for collecting the spent sorbent with contaminants, for disposal and/or recycle

Benefits of our Sorbent Injection Systems
workspace_premiumRemove Multiple Contaminants with One System
APC’s dry sorbent injection systems can control HCl, HF, SO2, HBr, Mercury, and particulate matter (PM) all with a single system.
workspace_premiumAll-Dry Systems — No Wastewater
DS Series injection systems and baghouses are completely dry emission control systems, generating zero wastewater — no converting an air pollution problem into a water pollution problem.
workspace_premiumOperational Flexibility
APC’s systems allow sorbent feed rate changes at the press of a button at the control panel to optimize sorbent usage or performance. Types of sorbents are easy to change without changing the equipment; as plant production levels and processes change, the same air pollution control system is used to meet the plant’s compliance needs.
workspace_premiumProven Compliance
DS Series sorbent injection systems and baghouses are consistently meeting emission compliance limits.
