Medupi Flue Gas Desulphurisation: Technology Selection Study Report
The report recommends the installation of Wet FGD (WFGD) technology without a flue gas cooler for the Medupi Power Station in South Africa. While Dry FGD (CFB) uses less water, it is rejected due to 53% higher operating costs, 9% higher capital costs, and the requirement for high-quality lime sourced from the Northern Cape. WFGD is preferred for its higher efficiency on high-sulphur coals, its ability to use local lower-quality limestone to stimulate regional economic development in Lephalale, and its alignment with the Phase 2A water augmentation project.
