HCl Control Technologies
•Pulverized or stoker coal combustion
§Mostly same as for SO2 (FGD)
§Wet FGD following particulate control
­Extensive experience in electric generating plants
­>98% SO2 removal
­>99% HCl removal but infrequently measured
­Lime/limestone [CaO/Ca(OH)2/CaCO3]
­Wastewater and/or solids byproducts
§Wet FGD in refineries
­Caustic (NaOH)
­Very high reliability
