Emissions control: Despite market uncertainty, a few new approaches come forward
Innovative business practices that substantially reduce costs prevail over technological risk. Despite this, several new processes are now ready for commercial deployment as part of the nation`s emissions-control effort. This article describes these processes and their relative economic and technical merits. The DOE Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program is almost a decade old. Several important control technologies have emerged from that program that could challenge conventional wisdom on process selection and site management. Combined with several other technologies funded by EPRI and others, now ready for commercial deployment, process selection has become more than choosing between a fabric filter (FF) and an electrostatic precipitator (ESP), a wet or dry flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) system, or a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) process.
