What is the VIPER Mill technology?

The VIPER Mill is an advanced sorbent particle size reduction technology designed to improve dry sorbent injection (DSI) system performance by producing finer and more consistent sorbent particles, increasing pollutant removal efficiency and reducing operating costs.

How does the VIPER Mill improve emissions control?

By reducing the particle size of sorbents such as trona and sodium bicarbonate, the VIPER Mill enhances sorbent reactivity and surface area, which improves the capture of acid gases like SO₂, SO₃, and HCl in DSI systems, resulting in more effective emissions control.

What are the main benefits of using the VIPER Mill in DSI systems?

The VIPER Mill delivers consistent milling performance that can significantly lower sorbent consumption, reduce system operating costs, improve pollutant removal, and provide a reliable, predictable performance in continuous operation.

What sorbent throughput capacity does the VIPER Mill offer?

The VIPER Mill can process up to 7 tons per hour of sorbent on a continuous basis, making it suitable for a range of dry sorbent injection applications in industrial flue gas control systems.

Can the VIPER Mill be integrated into existing DSI systems?

Yes. The VIPER Mill is designed to be integrated into existing dry sorbent injection systems, offering simple installation and compatibility with typical sorbent feed and conveyance configurations.

What advantages does the VIPER Mill offer compared to other milling technologies?

Compared to traditional milling options, the VIPER Mill can reduce sorbent usage by producing finer particles that improve reaction efficiency, leading to lower overall sorbent costs, greater pollutant removal performance, and faster return on capital investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VIPER Mill?

The VIPER Mill is a sorbent particle-size reduction technology developed by UCC Environmental for Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) systems. It produces very fine sorbent particles that improve pollutant removal efficiency and lower overall sorbent consumption in emission control applications.

How does the VIPER Mill improve emission control performance?

By reducing sorbent particle size to an optimal range, the VIPER Mill increases the reactive surface area of the sorbent. This enhances chemical reactions with acid gases and other pollutants, enabling more efficient removal in a DSI system.

Can the VIPER Mill be retrofitted into existing DSI systems?

Yes. The VIPER Mill can be integrated into existing Dry Sorbent Injection systems to enhance performance and reduce sorbent costs without replacing the entire DSI setup.

How does the VIPER Mill reduce operating costs?

By producing finer particles with greater reactive surface area, the VIPER Mill enables more effective pollutant capture with less sorbent. This efficiency reduces sorbent procurement and handling costs and can translate to millions in annual savings in large power and industrial applications.

Which industries benefit from using the VIPER Mill?

The VIPER Mill supports DSI systems used in heavy industrial sectors such as power generation, steel, mining, cement, and pulp & paper, where emission control and regulatory compliance are critical.
