flue gas treatment
Smokestack pollution control
Flue gas treatment is the process of removing pollutants from exhaust gases before they're released into the atmosphere.
Power plants and industrial facilities use various methods—scrubbers, filters, chemical processes—to reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and other harmful emissions: The plant installed new flue gas treatment systems to meet environmental regulations.
