Abstract
There are today a large number of processes around the world for flue gas treatment aimed at desulfurization and denitrification of gaseous releases from fossil fuel power plants. These processes are at various stages of development and offer pollutant retention rates which can vary between 30 and 95% (or even more). Their manufacturers are as numerous, and each has specific experience of one or more processes. This memorandum summarizes most flue gas treatment processes, either in commercial or in developing stages which have been installed around the world. The most widely used flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes are limestone wet type with gypsum or other by-product (36% and 23% respectively of the total FGD installed capacity). From 1990 to 2000, the total FGD capacity should rise from 132 GWe to 200 GWe (+51%). 75 manufacturers have been surveyed, of which 34 have equipped power plants of between 250 and 600 MWe, and 18 have equipped power plants greater than 600 MWe. For denitrification, the selection catalytic reduction (SCR) processes represent 95.5% of the flue gas denitrification installed capacity. This total capacity should rise from 40,800 MWe to 58,800 MWe (+44%) from 1990 to 2000. Of the 40 manufacturers surveyed, 11

The few plants operating at full commercial scale represent 0.2% of the flue gas treatment total capacity in 1989. It should roughly double by the year 2000 (up from 400 MWe to 730 MWe). To date, only one manufacturer has installed a large capacity unit (300 MWe). (author).}
