Assessment of SO2 and NOx Emission Control Technology in Europe

摘要

The report is a compilation of information on the current status of abatement technology used to control major air pollutants, including SO2 and NOx, in Europe. It focuses on flue gas sulfurization (FGD), combustion modification (CM), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx. Information presented was gathered from utility company representatives and FGD, CM, and SCR process developers, as well as from the author's research. Current air pollution regulations in Europe, related problems, operational parameters of commercial FGD and SCR plants, FGD and SCR economics, and the author's evaluation of the processes are also described.
