Abstract
The report presents detailed technical information concerning application of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to industrial boilers. Design and operation data is presented for 161 FGD control systems (121 of them operational), designed to control SO2 emissions from 147 industrial boilers at 57 plants. With a 1978 capacity of 9.3 million scfm, an average of more than seven new FGD systems have been put on line each year since 1972. Information in the report was obtained by a survey of plant personnel, control system vendors, regulatory agencies, and consulting engineering firms. The data is given in two types of tables: one gives summary information; the other, detailed information. Summary tables present information as a function of control process, control system vendor, disposal technique, operational status, start-up date, and flue gas capacity. Detailed information includes: control system design, economics, operating experience, problems and solutions, waste disposal techniques, and maintenance practices.
