In 2007, Duke Energy’s W.H. Zimmer Station set out to advance the overall performance of its flue gas desulfurization (FGD) dewatering process. The plant implemented a variety of measures, including ...

Now that many flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems are reaching middle age, corrosion repairs of structural and process vessels are becoming more common. Corrosion is caused by condensates of acids ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the final effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) rule in September of 2015 for the steam electric power sector, establishing technology-based ...

The flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process removes sulfur dioxide (SO 2) — one of the elements in acid rain — from fossil fuel power-plant emissions. FGD systems, commonly called scrubbers, encompass ...

In the last five years, the number of electric utility boilers in the U.S. equipped with flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems has increased greatly, due to retrofits in response to regulatory ...

Are FGDs (Flue Gas Desulfurization) meant to control sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired thermal power plants still relevant is the debate that is taking place between the Ministries of ...

The Ministries of Environment and Power have asked the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to have a close look at the relevance of FGDs (Flue Gas Desulfurisation) meant to control sulphur dioxide ...
