Introduction to limestone flue gas desulfurization: Videotape workbook

OSTI ID:5013479

The workbook is designed to accompany the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI's) videotape, ''Introduction to Limestone Flue Gas Desulfurization.'' To complement the videotape, the workbook provides additional information on limestone flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and a guide to sources of still more information. The videotape itself presents an introduction to the chemistry involved in a limestone FGD system. Following a description of a typical system, the basic chemical reactions that occur in this process are detailed. The most common operation problems in limestone FGD---low sulfur dioxide removal, low limestone utilization, and scaling---are reviewed with regard to how process chemistry can be controlled to alleviate these problems. This tape is an introduction only; future tapes will cover limestone FGD performance indicators and troubleshooting in more detail.
