Ayer, F. PROCEEDINGS: SYMPOSIUM ON FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (8TH) HELD AT NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, NOVEMBER 1983. VOLUME 1. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-84/017A.
Description:
The proceedings document the eighth in a series of symposiums (the second cosponsored by EPA and the Electric Power Research Institute) on flue gas desulfurization (FGD). It provided a forum for the exchange of technical developments and regulatory information on FGD systems and processes applicable to utility and industrial boilers. The keynote address described the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program. Other opening-session presentations were on the status of air quality legislation/regulations, the status of solid waste regulations, and trends in commercial application of FGD technology. Subsequent sessions dealt with FGD economics, materials of construction, dry furnace absorbent injection, dual alkali FGD, flue gas treatment (combined SOx/NOx removal), FGD chemistry, the architect-engineer's role in FGD applications (panel discussion), limestone/organic acid, waste disposal/utilization, and dry FGD systems. Participants represented electric utilities, equipment and process suppliers, state environmental agencies, coal and petroleum suppliers, EPA and other federal agencies, and research organizations.
