The principal goal of this paper is to present an integrated process for flue gas cleaning and to explain the nature of the chemical reactions that take place when the temperature of the flue gas is lowered to near or below ambient temperature. A second goal of this paper is to discover the chemical effects and effectiveness of the condensing process in removal of the particulate and vapor phase emissions that pass through the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) or fabric filter emission controls. A third goal of this paper is to present the impact on the flue gas energy recovery and its effect on the power plant efficiency when using a condensing heat exchanger for boiler flue gas cleaning.
