Sulfur Dioxide Scrubbers
An SO 2 scrubber system is the informal name for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology, which removes, or "scrubs," SO 2 emissions from the exhaust of coal-fired power plants. A scrubber works by spraying a wet slurry of limestone into a large chamber where the calcium in the limestone reacts with the SO 2 in the flue gas.
Coal plants without scrubbers account for a majority of U.S. SO 2
Coal-fired electric power plants make up the largest source of national sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emissions.The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) calls for a 53% reduction in SO 2 emissions from the electric power sector by 2014.
