REDUCING MERCURY AIR AND WATER EMISSIONS FROM A COAL FIRED POWER PLANT WITHIN A FGD SYSTEM USING A BIOCIDE

摘要

A method for controlling mercury emissions within a FGD system, the methodincludes preparing a treatment compositionfor application on FGD system components, the treatment composition comprisinga biocide, applying the treatment compositionto an FGD system, wherein the FGD system includes an FGD scrubber, monitoringthe bacterial load present within the FGD system,and optimizing the operating conditions of an aqueous system to determine whenadditional treatment is required.
