The first U.S. demonstration of gas suspension absorption (GSA), a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology developed in Europe, has been conducted at the Tennessee Valley Authority`s National Center for Emissions Research (NCER) in Paducah, Kentucky. The technology was developed by the Danish company FLS miljo a/s. GSA is an attractive FGD candidate technology because, unlike conventional wet scrubbing, GSA requires no chemical analyses as part of its routine operation and maintenance. The 10-MW GSA demonstration plant was constructed by AirPol, Inc. (Teterboro, New Jersey), a U.S. subsidiary of FLS miljo a/s. The project was partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its clean coal technology program. GSA technology and results of the demonstration project are discussed in this paper in brief. The factorial tests conducted on the GSA demonstration plant at NCER showed that, using a modest Ca/S ratio, the system can achieve high SO{sub 2} removal efficiencies, low particulate emissions, and a low-moisture solid waste by-product. 1 ref., 3 figs., 1 tab.
