Project overview

The Municipal Solid Waste Gasification Air Pollution Control project is an environmental treatment installation associated with the thermal processing of municipal solid waste in Italy.

Gasification converts waste materials through a controlled high-temperature process, producing a gas stream that requires appropriate treatment to manage airborne contaminants.

The documented emission-control arrangement addresses particulate matter and acidic pollutants, including sulphur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen fluoride (HF) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).

The system integrates bicarbonate-based reagent injection, activated carbon treatment, baghouse filtration and Venturi wet scrubbing.

Bicarbonate reagents support the neutralisation of acidic gases, while activated carbon provides an additional adsorption mechanism. Baghouse filtration captures particulate matter and spent treatment materials, with Venturi scrubbing providing a complementary wet-treatment stage.

The documented baghouse and Venturi scrubber stages each have an airflow rating of 13,000 m³/hour.
