Contents include FGD processes--(FGD technology summary, and SO/sub 2/ removal mechanisms); selected FGD process descriptions and critical system operating parameters--(lime/limestone scrubbing, sodium carbonate scrubbing, double alkali (soda lime) scrubbing, magnesium oxide scrubbing, and sodium sulfite (Wellman Lord) scrubbing); implications of requiring 90 percent or greater SO/sub 2/ removal for new FGD installations--(Lime and limestone scrubbing, sodium carbonate scrubbing, double alkali scrubbing, magnesium oxide scrubbing, and sodium sulfite (Wellman Lord) scrubbing); effect of coal properties on FGD systems--(coal heating value and moisture content, sulfur content of coal, ash content of coal, chlorine content of coal, and nitrogen content of coal); reheat of scrubbed flue gases--(purpose and need for reheat, methods of reheating, energy consumption, problems experienced, design, operation, and maintenance of reheaters, alternatives to reheat, and reheat summary).
