Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems are emission-control systems designed to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other sulfur compounds from flue gases generated during the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels, particularly in coal-fired power plants and industrial facilities. These systems are widely used in power generation, cement, iron & steel, chemicals & petrochemicals, and other industries to reduce SO2 emissions and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. FGD technologies are generally classified into wet FGD systems and dry & semi-dry FGD systems, with the appropriate technology selected based on factors such as emission-reduction requirements, fuel characteristics, operating conditions, water availability, and plant configuration. FGD systems incorporate processes and equipment such as absorbers, scrubbers, reagent preparation and handling units, pumps, filters, and gas treatment systems to achieve the required level of sulfur dioxide removal.
