Pilot plant tests of a corona discharge-electron beam hybrid combustion flue gas cleaning system have been conducted. Gas flow rate of the test loop is a heavy oil fired boiler flue gas with 1,200 Nm{sup 3}/h, and one electron beam generator (500 kV x 30 mA) is used with a corona discharge ammonia radical injection system (60 kV x 5 mA). SO{sub 2}, CO, CO{sub 2}, NH{sub 3}, NO, NO{sub x} and O{sub 2} gases are monitored. The results show that up to 85% of NO{sub x} and 98% of SO{sub x} in flue gases are removed under a corona discharge-electron beam hybrid operations with significant small amount of leaked ammonias from exhaust flue gases.
