1 - 13 . (canceled) 14 . A flue gas treatment device, comprising: an NOx removal unit configured to remove nitrogen oxide contained in a flue gas flowing from a boiler; an air preheater that is provided on a downstream side of the NOx removal unit and is configured to recover heat in a flue gas after removal of nitrogen oxide; a precipitator that is provided on a downstream side of the air preheater and is configured to remove ash dust contained in a flue gas after heat recovery; a gas-liquid contact type desulfurization unit that is provided on a downstream side of the precipitator and is configured to remove sulfur oxide contained in a flue gas after precipitation; an SO 3 removing agent supply unit configured to supply an SO 3 removing agent to a flue gas inside a flue gas duct at a supply unit located on an upstream side of the precipitator; and a wet state processing unit that is provided between the air preheater and the supply unit that supplies the SO 3 removing agent and is configured to supply-water to a flue gas to be made into a wet state inside the flue gas duct, wherein the wet state processing unit includes a stand-up portion standing in a direction orthogonal to the flue gas duct configured to exhaust the flue gas, a partition unit configured to partition the inside of the stand-up portion into a gas ascending passage and a gas descending passage, and a droplet supply unit configured to supply droplets onto the gas descending passage partitioned by the partition unit. 15 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 14 , wherein a hopper is provided on a lower side of the stand-up portion to remove solids in the flue gas duct. 16 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 14 , comprising a line that extends from the desulfurization unit and supplies desulfurization wastewater from the desulfurization unit or dehydrated filtrate to the wet state processing unit. 17 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 14 , comprising an Hg removing agent supply unit that is provided on an upstream side of the precipitator and is configured to supply an Hg removing agent to a flue gas. 18 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 14 , comprising a return line that extends from the precipitator and is configured to combine a part of precipitated ash containing an SO 3 removing agent collected by the precipitator with the SO 3 removing agent from the SO 3 removing agent supply unit or a flue gas in the vicinity of the supply unit that supplies the SO 3 removing agent. 19 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 14 , comprising a gas-gas heater that is provided between the supply unit that supplies the SO 3 removing agent and the precipitator and is configured to perform heat exchange of heat of a flue gas after heat recovery. 20 . A flue gas treatment device, comprising: an NOx removal unit configured to remove nitrogen oxide contained in a flue gas flowing from a boiler; an air preheater that is provided on a downstream side of the NOx removal unit and is configured to recover heat in a flue gas after removal of nitrogen oxide; a gas-gas heater that is provided on a downstream side of the air preheater and is configured to perform heat exchange of heat of a flue gas after heat recovery; a precipitator that is provided on a downstream side of the gas-gas heater and is configured to remove ash dust contained in a flue gas after heat exchange; a gas-liquid contact type desulfurization unit that is provided on a downstream side of the precipitator and is configured to remove sulfur oxide contained in a flue gas after precipitation; an SO 3 removing agent supply unit configured to supply an SO 3 removing agent in a flue gas inside a flue gas duct at a supply unit located on a downstream side of the air preheater and located on an upstream side of the gas-gas heater; and a wet state processing unit that is provided between the gas-gas heater and the supply unit that supplies the SO 3 removing agent and is configured to supply water to a flue gas to be made into a wet state inside the flue gas duct, wherein the wet state processing unit includes a stand-up portion standing in a direction orthogonal to the flue gas duct configured to exhaust the flue gas, a partition unit configured to partition the inside of the stand-up portion into a gas ascending passage and a gas descending passage, and a droplet supply unit configured to supply droplets onto the gas descending passage partitioned by the partition unit. 21 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 20 , wherein a hopper is provided on a lower side of the stand-up portion to remove solids in the flue gas duct. 22 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 20 , comprising a line that extends from the desulfurization unit and supplies desulfurization wastewater from the desulfurization unit or dehydrated filtrate to the wet state processing unit. 23 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 20 , comprising an Hg removing agent supply unit that is provided on an upstream side of the precipitator and is configured to supply an Hg removing agent to a flue gas. 24 . The flue gas treatment device according to claim 20 , comprising a return line that extends from the precipitator and is configured to combine a part of precipitated ash containing an SO 3 removing agent collected by the precipitator with the SO 3 removing agent from the SO 3 removing agent supply unit or a flue gas in the vicinity of the supply unit that supplies the SO 3 removing agent. 25 .
