Costs and Benefits Of Flue Gas Desulfurization For Pollution Control At The Mae Moh Power Plant, Thailand

Cost and Benefit Analysis of Desulfurization System in Power Plant

The economy of desulfurization system is of great significance for operation of desulfurization system and improving the environment quality in power plant. Based on the desulfurization power price policy, this paper analyzes the cost and benefit structure of the wet flue gas desulfurization system in Chinese power plant; that puts forward the calculation methods of total cost present value, to...

A computational investigation on the structural features of alkanolamine solvents for CO2 capture process from power plant flue gas

Evaluation of mercury speciation and removal through air pollution control devices of a 190 MW boiler.

Air pollution control devices (APCDs) are installed at coal-fired power plants for air pollutant regulation. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems have the co-benefits of air pollutant and mercury removal. Configuration and operational conditions of APCDs and mercury speciation affect mercury removal efficiently at coal-fired utilities. The Ontario H...

Atomistic-Level Models

Understanding the speciation of mercury throughout the coal-combustion process is crucial to the design of efficient and effective mercury removal technologies. Mercury oxidation takes place through combined homogeneous (i.e., strictly in the gas phase) and heterogeneous (i.e., gas–surface interactions) pathways. Both bench-scale combustion experiments [1] and quantumchemistry-based theoretical...

Utilization of Flue Gas as a Carbon Dioxide Source from a Coal-burning Power Plant for the Cultivation of Microalgae in Outdoor Circular Ponds

Flue gas originating from a coal-fired power plant was used as a carbon dioxide source for microalgae cultivation. Raw flue gas without scrubbing or desulfurization was diluted with compressed air in such a way as to attain 1%, 2%, and 4% CO2. Throughout the 2010, from May to October, growth response was studied. While sparging pure CO2, a proportionate increase in the biomass was observed corr...
