Profiles in Flue Gas Desulfurization

Need to clean up your plant's SO2 emissions? You have quite a number of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) options from which to choose. As the need to control process emissions has increased, so have the number of FGD treatment and control strategies...with varying levels of effectiveness given the materials involved, the size of the facility, and other factors. Profiles in Flue Gas Desulfurization was written to help engineers and managers sort through these options and identify the technology that best fits their plant and/or processes. It's a quick and easy reference to all "tail-end" SO2 control processes currently in commercial use or "on the brink," providing an effective "snapshot" of where this technology stands in industry today. Technologies profiled include: Conventional Lime Slurry Circulating Fluid/Entrained Bed Seawater Scrubbing Condensing Heat Exchangers Direct Sulfuric Acid Conversion Dilute Sulfuric Acid to Gypsum Kurabo Process-Ammonia/Lime Dual Alkali Ammonia Scrubbing-Once Through Electron Beam Irradiation Wellman Lord Process Highlighted technologies are divided into two groups-Waste Producing Processes, where the end product is a "clean waste," and Byproduct Processes, where the end product has some market value. Each technology profile includes a schematic depicting its major equipment components and arrangement, laid out side-by-side with descriptive text that summarizes how the process works, where and how it is currently being utilized, its operational requirements, advantages and limitations for typical applications, and a brief list of principal suppliers.Lunt, Richard R. is the author of 'Profiles in Flue Gas Desulfurization' with ISBN 9780816908202 and ISBN 0816908206.
