The proceedings document presentations made during the December 5, 1979, industry briefing conference which dealt with the status of EPA/IERL-RTP's flue gas desulfurization (FGD) research, development, and application programs. Subjects considered included: lime/limestone scrubbing test results involving the organic buffer, adipic acid; limestone type and grind tests at IERL-RTP's pilot plant; IERL-RTP's program on waste solids disposal; the TVA/Shawnee lime/limestone design economic study computer program; alkali feedrate automatic control for limestone scrubbers; tests on the concurrent scrubber at TVA/Shawnee; and forced-oxidation tests at the Widow's Creek Unit 8 full-scale limestone scrubber. The conference provided developers, vendors, users, and those concerned with regulatory guidelines with a current review of progress made in IERL-RTP's FGD technology development program. |
