The Wet vs. Dry Question for Scrubbers

 
Date- Thursday, December 8
Time- 2:00p.m.-3:00 p.m. Eastern
 
Information on Webinar Recap and Presentation can be found below
 
While the U.S. EPA has proposed technical adjustments to the final Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), it is clear that many coal-fired power plants will have decisions to make in the upcoming months about how to comply with this rule as well as national standards and state mandates to reduce SO2 emissions. 
 
Three basic control technologies exist for limiting SO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants:  wet scrubbers, dry scrubbers, and semi-dry scrubbers.  Wet scrubbers are characterized by higher capital costs, but low operating cost and high performance.  Dry scrubbers, becoming increasingly popular, can often have lower capital costs, but are sometimes limited by performance.
 
Utility professionals will talk about how they made decisions on what type of scrubber to install, and what key parameters went into this process.
 
Please join Alden, Shaw, Dominion, and Southern Company for this unique industry event.
