What Does FGD Stand For?

FGD stands for Flue Gas Desulfurization

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) is a technology used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the exhaust flue gases of fossil fuel power plants and industrial processes. By utilizing various chemical processes, such as wet scrubbing with lime or limestone, FGD systems effectively reduce the environmental impact of sulfur dioxide, helping to comply with air quality regulations and improve overall air quality. This technology plays a crucial role in mitigating acid rain and other pollution-related issues associated with the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels.
