Field evaluation of coal fired utility boiler NO sub x and SO sub x emissions control by gas reburning - sorbent injection

The authors maintain that proposed legislation to reduce the emission of acid rain precursors would: increase the cost of power due to the addition of air pollution control devices; and increase the use of low sulfur coals, thereby reducing the demand for high and medium sulfur content coals. Consequently, there is a need for a low cost, retrofit acid rain precursor control technology which will provide the electric utility industry with the option to use local coals. This book describes gas reburning-sorbent injection as one such technology.
