The Utility FGD Survey report, whcih is generted by a computerized data base system, represents a survey of operational and planned domestic utility flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. It summarizes information contributed by the utility industry, system and equipment suppliers, systems designers, research organizations, and regulatory agencies. The data cover system design, fuel characteristics, operating history, and actual system performance. Also included is a unit-by-unit discussion of problems and solutions associated with the boilers, scrubbers, and FGD systems. The development status (operational, under construction, or in the planning stages), system supplier, process, waste disposal practice, and regulatory class are tabulated alphabetically by utility company. Simplified process flow diagram of FGD systems, definitions, and a glossary of terms are attached to the report. Current data for domestic FGD systems show 135 systems in operation, 15 systems under construction, and 56 systems planned. The current FGD-controlled capacity in the United States is 57,899 MW. This report, Volume 1, provides summaries of domestic FGD systems. 3 figs., 7 tabs.
