Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...

In the flue gas scrubbing process, water evaporates from the scrubbing fluid as the flue gas is cooled to the adiabatic saturation temperature. Under equilibrium conditions, water must be added to the ...

Flyash and condensed sulfur trioxide (SO 3) are the major components of flue gas that contribute to the opacity of a coal plant’s stack emissions (stack opacity). Estimates are that 75% to 85% of ...

Chemical engineers have designed a material that can capture carbon dioxide from wet flue gasses better than current commercial materials. Generally speaking, "flue gas" refers to any gas coming out ...

This multiple-part article series will discuss the basics, codes and standards, and the science behind chimneys. It will show how back drafting affects chimney performance, while explaining the ...
