Abstract: This paper analyzes FGD application, design, domestic manufacturing capability, and market managementlants for power plants being built or planned. It illustrates that the major problems in the FGD industry of thermal power plants are as follows: the FGD development lags behind market demand; discrepancy between domestic FGD technology and imported FGDs; no significant progress in domestic manufacturing capability; and lack of systematic FGD design, manufacturing, installation, calibration, and verification procedures; uncoordinated import of different kinds of FGD technology; vast difference in the capabilities of FGD contractors; lack of order in the FGD market and vicious competition; operation problems with FGD installed; potential shortage of limestone supply. This paper recommends the streamlining of the FGD market, post-construction evaluation of FGD installed, promotion of better FGD technology, strengthening of governmental support, establishment of FGD standards, and improvement of industrial self-discipline.
