Flue Gas Scrubber<br />

Associated Environmental<br />

Impact<br />

- Ammonia Slip<br />

- Acid plume<br />

- Ammonia-sulfur salt fume as PM<br />

-Spent catalyst disposal<br />

- Contaminated fly ash<br />

- More solid waste (5x fuel sulfur)<br />

- Liberation of CO 2 from limestone<br />

- Additional PM from mist carryover<br />

- Additional water treatment<br />

- Potential for ash contamination with<br />

ammonia from SCR and Hg from<br />

carbon injection<br />

-Poor carbon utilization increases<br />

waste disposal<br />

- Flyash unacceptable for commercial<br />

use or may be deemed hazardous<br />

- Contamination of scrubber sludge<br />

- Unacceptable for commercial use.<br />
