The Electric Utility Engineer`s FGD Manual is a compilation of up-to-date technical information describing the application of lime and limestone-based FGD processes to control SO{sub 2} emissions from coal-fired steam electric generating stations. It was written by Radian International LLC for the US Department of Energy Federal Energy Technology Center. The manual consists of five parts, each covering a different aspect of FGD design, purchase, or operation: Part 1--FGD Process Design; Part 2--Major Mechanical Equipment; Part 3--FGD Proposal Evaluations; Part 4--Use of FGDPRISM{trademark} J in System Modification, Proposal Evaluation, and Design; and Part 5--FGD System Case Study. The manual highlights the various technical and economic decisions that must be made by utility engineers to ensure that they specify and procure an FGD system that is well suited to their specific application. The manual also provides technical details about FGD process design and performance variables and their interactions so that utility engineers can evaluate competing FGD system proposals. This same information will also prove useful for the engineers responsible for successfully operating the FGD system once it is placed in service.
