This article addresses common misperceptions about flue gas desulfurization systems to provide a realistic appraisal of this capable control technology. Commonly known as scrubbers, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems are a highly efficient and reliable means of removing SO[sub 2] as well as particulate matter, hydrochloric and other air toxics. Scrubbers, which have been used for 25 years, are not only commercially proven, but are the standard by which new technology is judged. This standard, however, continues to rise as scrubber cost-effectiveness, reliability, waste recycling and efficiency as steadily improved over the last several years.
