Amine treatment (amine wash) in large power plants with LEWA pumps and systems

The goal of amine treatment and amine wash is to extract over 5 million tons of CO₂ per year by means of other catalysts from exhaust gases occurring in typical power plants of today.

For this exhaust gas treatment in most large fossil fuel power plants, LEWA pumps are used for metering additives, such as caustic soda.
