Literature Survey of Flue Gas Treatment Unit for Packaged Gasoline Generators

Abstract

A literature survey of Flue Gas Treatment Unit for Packaged Gasoline Generators is reported. Due to shortfall in power supply from National Grid of most developing nations, most businesses relied on package generators for electrical power supply for their economic activities. Flue gases containing CO, CO2, SO2 and NOX were being released into the environment by these fossil fired package generators. The CO is known to be detrimental to health of living beings and at the same time ozone layer depletive. On the other hand, the CO2 has been contributing to the green house effects. These militating dangers/risks arising from the usage of these package generators strongly stimulated this study. The global position on legislation, regulation and control of the emission of flue gases into the atmosphere has been articulated. Results of in-depth investigations by researchers into the methods/techniques of capturing CO, CO2, SO2 and NOX from the flue gases have been highlighted. This study shows that incorporating the capturing techniques for CO, CO2, SO2 and NOX into the design and construction of the package gasoline generators will no doubt go a long way in keeping our environment healthy, safe and secured.
