| Abstract | The report is a compilation of information on the current status of SO2 abatement technologies for coal-fired boilers in Japan, where strict ambient air quality standards for SO2 and NOx mandate the use of various air pollution control technologies. It focuses on flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and is based on information gathered from utility company representatives and FGD process developers and the author's research in the field. Various technologies including wet lime/limestone and indirect lime/limestone FGD processes and combined FGD/Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are described in terms of process descriptions, development and/or commercial application status, and economics. Detailed operating data are given for many of the processes. |
