Abstract
A final report is presented of work undertaken to assess the potential for the use of flue gas desulfurization (SOx control) systems by steam electric plants. The primary objectives of the study were (1) to attempt to quantify the availability of stack gas cleaning systems to steam electric utilities in 1975, 1977, and beyond, and (2) to identify possible actions that might serve to maximize the use of these systems. Many factors must be considered in estimating the use of stack gas cleaning systems by the utility industry. These include technology, cost, adverse environmental effects, institutional barriers, and the ability of the suppliers to produce and install all of the systems demanded. Uncertainties in the assessment of these factors have been the major barrier to widespread application of stack gas cleaning systems. The study examined each of the factors sufficiently to support the conclusions and recommendations presented.
