Description

This course delves into the vital environmental process of flue gas desulfurization (FGD), essential for reducing sulfur dioxide emissions from industrial plants, particularly coal-fired power stations. 

 

Participants will learn about the detrimental effects of sulfur dioxide on the environment, including its role in acid rain formation, and the necessity of FGD systems in modern industrial operations. 

 

The course will cover the mechanisms of wet and dry FGD systems, the chemical reactions involved in sulfur dioxide neutralization, and the operational aspects of FGD units, including the use of lime or limestone, the role of the absorber tower, and the transformation of waste into by-products like gypsum.

 

Hope to see you on the course!
