The advantages of flue gas desulfurization tell their own story. First of all, FGD systems help reduce air pollution by cutting back on the sulfur dioxide that gets sent up into our atmosphere. This reduction prevents the formation of acid rains, which in turn can be harmful to aquatic life and crops. Secondly, installing FGD technology at power stations means that they can comply with environmental regulations and avoid heavy fines or even shutdown. Thirdly, these systems are beneficial to human health, since they lower the concentrations of harmful substances in the air. This leads to an improvement in breathability as well as reduced rates for nearby communities' health care costs. Fourthly, finally, the by-products of FGD can be sold to provide another string for the state's bow. In all, looking into FGD promises both environmental protection and economic benefit. It can bring you into compliance with regulations, improve public health for you citizens, and for your power plant run to the bank.
