Abstract: Due to its unique chemical properties, SO3 in coal-fired flue gas has been one of the difficult parts in pollutant testing in coal-fired power plants both at home and abroad. In this article, the SO3 testing system is developed by utilizing the widely used control-condensation method and taking various factors into consideration during the sampling process. The optimal inner diameter, ring diameter and the number of rings of snake-shaped tube in SO3 controlled condensation sampling system are determined through experimental simulation as well as the sampling tubes, the temperature control of filter and circulating water bath to improve the capture efficiency of SO3. This SO3 sampling system has been used to test the removal capability of the flue gas treatment equipment in the coal-fired boiler. The influencing factors and the trapping mechanism on SO3 by sampling the flue gas are also analyzed. It is showed that SCR catalyst had some catalytic effects on SO2, and the conversion rate of SO2/SO3 increases with higher flue gas temperature. As for the removal efficiency of SO3, based on the comparison results of the inlet and outlet concentration between each equipment, the dry dedusting equipment can reach more than 80%, while the wet desulphurization equipment is 35%~40% and the wet electrostatic precipitator is 70%~75%.
