Andrews, R L

A current assessment of flue gas desulfurization technology covers brief descriptions, extents of application, investment and other costs, corrosion, erosion, scaling, and other reliability problems, and problems in planning a proposed plant around an FGD unit for the limestone throwaway system and five regenerable FGD systems (providing for recovery of, e.g., sulfur or sulfuric acid) at various stages of development; and expected trends in the 1980's, including continued predomination by the lime-limestone throwaway system.
