OSTI ID:5538645
The copper oxide flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process is one of the few dry processes for controlling sulfur dioxide emissions. The U.S. Bureau of Mines and Shell Corporation developed this process in the early 1960's. Shell continued development and installed a pilot plant at their Permis refinery near Rotterdam in 1967. Later they installed a full-size 36-MW boiler unit at the Yokkaichi refinery in Japan. Although all problems have not been solved, the system effectively removes SO2 from an oil-fired boiler at an efficiency of 90 percent or greater. The system has not yet been used on a full-scale coal-fired boiler, but a jointly funded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Tampa Electric Co. (TECO) pilot study has just ended at TECO's Big Bend coal-fired station.
