This manual represents a joint effort of EPRI nd the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It was written as an aid to utility engineers involved in the design, specification, project management, and operation of lime-based, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. The information is aimed at technical personnel who already have knowledge of utility power plant operations but may not be familiar with the chemical processes and equipment that comprise FGD systems. To date, lime-based FGD systems account for approximately 11,000 MW out of 28,000 MW of FGD capacity installed or under construction. As a result, a large information base is becoming available, but up to now it has not been compiled in a format that is readily accessible and usable by the utility industry. The Lime FGD Systems Data Book should permit a utility to anticipate the performance, reliability, and maintenance characteristics of alternative lime scrubbing system designs available, as a function of site-specific variables. This information should improve the quality of bid specifications as well as the ability to judge the merit of alternative lime scrubbing system proposals. The manual serves to integrate and summarize the results of extensive utility, architect-engineer, vendor, EPA and EPRI efforts in the development of lime scrubbing technology. Much of the information is derived from the results of research projects funded by EPRI and EPA.
