The report gives results of a survey of operational flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems on coal-fired utility boilers in the U.S. The FGD systems installed on Units 4, 5, and 6 at the Cane Run Station are described in terms of design and performance. The Cane Run No. 4 FGD system is a two-module (packed tower) carbide lime scrubber, retrofitted on a 178 MW (net) coal-fired boiler. The system, supplied by American Air Filter, commenced initial operation in August 1976. The Cane Run No. 5 FGD system is a two-module (spray tower) carbide lime scrubber, retrofitted on a 183 MW (net) coal-fired boiler. The system, supplied by Combustion Engineering, commenced initial operation in December 1977. The Cane Run Unit 6 FGD system is a two-module (tray tower) dual alkali (sodium carbonate/lime) scrubber, retrofitted on a 278 MW (net) coal-fired boiler. The system, supplied by A.D. Little/Combustion Equipment Associates, commenced initial operation in December 1978.
