What Does WFGD Stand For?

WFGD stands for Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization

Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (WFGD) is an advanced air pollution control technology employed in industrial and electric power generation processes to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gas emissions. By utilizing a wet scrubbing process, WFGD systems typically involve the absorption of SO2 into a liquid solution, commonly a limestone or lime slurry, which then reacts to form a byproduct such as gypsum. This technology plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact and ensuring compliance with air quality regulations, thereby contributing to cleaner air and more sustainable operations.
