  1. AirPol Inc., Teterboro, NJ (United States)

On October 11, 1990 AirPol Inc., was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to provide a Gas Suspension Absorption Semi-Dry FGD system for installation on a 10 MW demonstration site at TVA`s Shawnee Station, Paducah, Kentucky. This award is part of the Third Clean Coal Technology Program (CCT-III). This project will be the first North American demonstration of the GSA system in its application for flue gas desulfurization. This low-cost retrofit project seeks to demonstrate the GSA system which is expected to remove more than 90% of the sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) from coal-fired flue gas, while achieving a high utilization of reagent lime. A detailed description of the process, operation and testing of the GSA system will be given by Willard Goss.
