Abstract
The report gives results of a study to compare the reliability/availability of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems with equipment commonly used in the electric utility industry. Because many parameters used in reporting performance data for these systems have different definitions from one data reporting system to another, a direct comparison could not be made. However, a comparison model was developed--incorporating such factors as reliability, development status, and repair effort--to produce a single statistic that could be used to directly compare dissimilar pieces of equipment or systems. Study results indicate that a statistically meaningful comparison of the reliability/availability of utility FGD systems cannot now be made, primarily because of the small amount of FGD system performance data currently available. A meaningful comparison can be made only after more FGD systems are installed and more complete performance records become available.
