Abstract
Considering the application of lime/sludge flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, the space necessary for the sludge disposal is amongst others an important factor. Therefore the lime/sludge (and the limestone/sludge) technology is economically advantageous in the U.S.A. due to the availability of inexpensive land, whereas in Europe and in Japan the availability of sufficient space is often prohibitive. Generally inexpensive lime can be provided to the FGD plants and, as far as available, carbide sludge from chemical industry or alkaline fly ash can be utilized as scrubbing agent. The lime/sludge technology is well developed. Through operation of large scale plants in different countries considerable experience was gathered and reliability of the systems was proven.
