Environmental issues focusing on flue gas desulphurization, scrubbers, carbon trading, selective catalytic reduction, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury, carbon dioxide and particulate emissions are mission critical to electric power generation professionals.
Power Engineering offers comprehensive technical articles and news briefs on these environmental issues, as well as practical problem solutions and product applications. For a comprehensive overview of the chemistry involved in wet limestone flue gas desulphurization (FGD), read contributing editor Brad Buecker's feature article in the August 2006
(View article) issue of Power Engineering. For an overview of today's FGD technology, read the cover story in the September 2005

Emissions are any waste products leaving a power plant. Although this term generally applies to airborne material, it can also apply to soil or water waste issues. In fact, there are many substances that can be emitted from power plants--including NOx, SOx, mercury and greenhouse gases. Many of these substances are regulated and monitored.

An article from the March 2007 issue discusses how the resurgence of coal-fired generation over the past 10 years has been accompanied by confusion and controversy over related environmental issues, specifically air quality and air emissions.
Click here to read a comparison of emissions from the three main types of coal-fired power plants: PC, CFB, and IGCC.
According to an article in the April 2007 issue, most utilities using coal-fired power generation are actively seeking efficient, cost-effective technologies for controlling these pollutants--including mercury.
Click here to learn how some utilities are taking steps to reduce mercury with combustion optimization and sorbent injection.
And with today's new regulatory challenges, new catalyst strategies are becoming increasingly important.
