Ponder, Jr., T., J. Hartman, H. Drake, R. Kleir, AND J. Master. LIME FGD SYSTEMS DATA BOOK. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/8-79/009.
Description:
The Data Book is intended to aid engineers in understanding the process design features that are unique to lime flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. It is intended to supplement, not replace, basic information on engineering design. It is addressed to engineers who must design, evaluate, or operate lime FGD systems. The information may also be useful to persons who are familiar with utility operations, but unfamiliar with chemical operations. The Data Book covers the entire process of lime-based FGD. The gas-side battery limits extend from the discharge of the steam generator to the discharge of the stacks. The absorbent-side battery limits extend from receipt of the lime to sludge discharge to the final sludge disposal site.
