For removal of a large number of flue gas components, wet air pollution control (APC)
equipment is often chosen as the best available technology. Low flue gas temperatures
produced by these systems warrant the need for consideration of corrosion control in the flue
gas systems, downstream of the wet APC-systems.
This paper will present an innovative new chimney design. The design consists of a concrete
shell and a glass block lining without an internal flue reducing the outside chimney dimensions
and time to build the chimney considerably.
Retrofit of APC equipment to an existing power plant usually poses considerable design
challenges requesting scarcely available real estate. A quick to build, smaller foot-print new
chimney will add to the solutions available.
