Description:
The report gives results of a review of the performance and operating experience of existing utility scrubber systems and the state-of-the-art in design of scrubber components. It also gives guidelines for the design of the optimum wet scrubber system, based on this review. The U.S. EPA's Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is considering a demonstration of an optimum wet scrubber system for use on a coal-fired utility boiler. The optimum wet scrubber system has such design goals as maximum particulate collection, low power consumption, and low maintenance.
