Special Report No. 83-06: Report on the Development of Flue Gas Desufurization System Capital Costs for Various-Sized Units

Performance Standards for industrial boilers, the National Council staff detected what appeared to be a discrepancy between capital construction costs for industrial sized boiler flue gas desulfurization systems in an EPA contractor report and those appearing in other published information on the costs for similar systems on utility sized boilers. To determine McDonnell, if the consulting staff firm analysis with was a extensive proper flue one, gas Burns desulfurization system design and capital cost experience for both industrial and utility sized boilers, was contracted to assemble flue gas desulfurization system costs for an array of boiler sizes. The capital costs developed in this report for various flue gas desulfurization systems are based on actual installed costs wherever possible and on detailed engineering estimates other- wise.
