- Conventional coal-fired power plant [r]: An industrial plant which produces electricity by burning coal in a steam generator that heats water to produce high pressure steam. The steam flows through a series of steam turbines which spin an electrical generator to produce electricity. [e]
- Deaerator [r]: A device used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feedwater to steam generating boilers. [e]
- Flue gas [r]: The gas that exits to the atmosphere via a flue which may be a pipe, channel or chimney for conveying combustion product gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. [e]
- Flue gas desulfurization [r]: The technology for removing sulfur dioxide from the flue gases resulting from the combustion of coal or fuel oil in power plant steam generators or other large combustion sources. [e]
- Flue gas stack [r]: A vertical pipe, channel or chimney (also referred to as a smokestack) through which combustion product gases (flue gases) are exhausted to the atmosphere. Includes the draft (draught) effect of hot gases flowing through tall stacks (chimneys). [e]
