Significant Changes in FGD Technology are Predicted
Over 80 percent of the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems installed around the world utilize limestone as a reagent and spray towers to recirculate the limestone slurry and capture the SO2. The McIlvaine Company predicts that after forty years of use, this approach will give way to newer technologies. These technologies will achieve higher efficiencies, consume less energy, capture multiple ...

World FGD Orders to Peak Next Year at $11 Billion
Untitled Document During the 1990s annual sales of power plant flue gas desulfurization systems (FGD) were less than $1 billion/yr globally. Last year they were over $7 billion, and by 2006 will be $11 billion. This is the latest prediction in the continually updated, FGD World Markets, an online report published by the McIlvaine Company of Northfield, IL. Even after the ...

FGD Revenues Will Grow Due to New NSR Ruling
The already red hot FGD market will grow even faster due to a judicial ruling striking down the rules that allowed old coal-fired power plants to avoid new source review. The installation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems is the only way new sources or modified sources can meet the emission requirements. The McIlvaine Company, in its continually updated online report FGD World Markets , ...

Multi-pollutant approach needed to halt soil degradation
A new study highlights the need for new policies to stop the rise of nitrogen oxide emissions in China. The researchers suggest that the positive impact of policies to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions are not enough in themselves to avoid soil acidification, as they will be outweighed over the next decade by the impact of nitrogen emissions. Soil acidification is a type of soil degradation that ...

$168 Billion FGD Market In Next 15 Years
The market for systems to remove SO2 from power plants is booming. But the big news is that the good times will continue. In the latest forecast in the online, FGD World Markets, the McIlvaine Company predicts that power plants will spend $168 billion for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems in the period 2005-2020. The validity of this estimate is critical to the manufacturers of steel ...
