FGD Components Including Agitators, Blowers and Compressors is the Hot Topic Hour on January 22, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. CST
Most SO2 captured in power plant scrubbers is converted to gypsum using agitators and blowers or compressors to inject air. Component choices for FGD systems in various countries will be reviewed. An analysis of oxidation blower options for FGD with the history in the U.S. and China will be reviewed. The choice between axial and centrifugal fans will be covered. The trade-offs are between initial cost and life cycle cost. Some of the less expensive designs consume more energy. There are various options for ensuring good contact between the injected air and the slurry. This oxidation process is important due to energy consumption, impact on by-product quality and scaling potential in the scrubber.

Cheap gasoline. More jobs. Rising confidence. Everything’s coming up roses for U.S. consumers, whose spending fueled the strongest growth since 2003. The gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 5.0% in the July-September quarter, according to the third estimate of growth, released recently by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The GDP report and other economic data led economists to raise their estimates for the end of 2014 and 2015. “The clear strengthening in activity towards the end of 2014 may prompt some Fed officials to consider whether they need to raise rates before the middle of 2015,” Paul Dales, a senior U.S. economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a client note. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Brazil
In a bid to regain investors’ trust, the Brazilian government revised down its forecast of GDP growth for 2015 from 2 to 0.8%, a figure that is more in line with market analysts’ forecasts.
According to the bill that the Brazilian government sent to Congress, economic growth will pick up only in 2016, when GDP is expected to grow 2% and then 2.3% in 2017 .……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Cuba
Alfonso Morre has spent nine years studying mechanics and civil engineering in order to become — a Havana taxi driver. Following President Barack Obama’s decision to ease the embargo on Cuba, he is hoping for something better.
Driving a 26-year-old Russian-made Lada through the cobbled streets of Cuba’s capital, Morre says he needs his engineering degree just to keep the car on the road. That may be about to change. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
ASIA
Brunei
In the third quarter of 2014, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Brunei Darussalam at current prices was estimated at BND$4,428.7 million compared to BND$4,944 million in the second quarter. In terms of GDP growth at constant prices, the third quarter recorded a decline of 0.2% year-on-year, Borneo Bulletin reported.
This was mainly attributed to the decrease of the Oil & Gas sector by 3.2%.
Meanwhile, the Non-Oil & Gas sector increased by 1.8%.
In the third quarter of 2014, the Agriculture, Forestry & Fishery sector increased by 4.3% year-on-year due to the increase in the production. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.

China
Even as a slew of indicators reveal the weak state of China’s economy, officials are poised to revise the official size of Chinese gross domestic product, probably upward, making it as much as 10% larger than previously thought.
Beijing will reveal the findings from the country’s roughly twice-a-decade economic census, for which almost 3 million census takers canvassed more than 10 million companies and 60 million individual-owned private enterprises earlier this year.
The two previous censuses saw GDP amended upward by 4.4% in 2008 and 16.8% in 2004, as they more accurately measured China’s fast-growing services sector. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Singapore
The city-state’s economy expanded less than economists’ estimated last quarter after its manufacturing industry weakened with slowing growth in China and an uneven global recovery.
Gross domestic product rose an annualized 1.6% in the three months to Dec 31 from the previous quarter, when it expanded 3.1%, the trade ministry said in a statement. The median of five estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 3% expansion.
Singapore's productivity growth has been weak, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Dec 31, and the trade ministry has said the economic outlook for 2015 is "modest" with a tight labor market restraining some industries. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Thailand
The Thai economy continued to slow in November.
The domestic front remained anemic. Private consumption grew 0.7% from a year ago versus the 0.3% in October, but one would not call 0.7% growth a major improvement.
Economists had pinned hope on external demand, particularly in the form of tourism, since Thailand is now back to normal after the military coup in May. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Vietnam
According to the General Statistics Office (GSO), Vietnam’s total domestic product (GDP) in 2014 was estimated to increase 5.98% - the highest since 2011.
This is also the first time after three years that the country’s GDP exceeded the yearly target set by the National Assembly (5.8% for 2014). In particular, GDP growth improved each quarter, with an increase of 5.06% in the first quarter; 5.34% in the second quarter; 6.07% in the third quarter and 6.96% in the fourth quarter. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Europe
A new Macroeconomic Outlook report from Intesa Sanpaolo argues that oil prices below $60 a barrel will add up to 0.4% economic growth to oil importing Euro area nations. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Luca Mazzomo also points out that there are likely to be positive secondary effects that ripple through oil importing economies for some time even if prices begin to move back up in a few months.
Oil prices began trending down over the summer, but the sell-off intensified into a frenzy in the fourth quarter. Compared to the firm’s September scenario when prices were forecast to remain roughly stable at prices close to those in mid-2014, the drop in crude prices to date ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Israel
Israel’s economy expanded faster than previously estimated in 2014 on accelerated consumer spending, the Central Bureau of Statistics said, revising an earlier forecast.
Gross domestic product increased 2.6% from 2013, the bureau said at a Jerusalem press conference, based on partial data for the year. The figure compares with the bureau’s previous 2.2% estimate.
Growth was crimped in part by 50 days of fighting with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in July and August. The economy contracted 0.1% in the third quarter, the bureau said, revising an earlier estimated contraction of 0.4% .……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
Russia
Russia’s economy contracted last month for the first time in five years amid the sharp fall in oil prices and the collapse of the ruble.
Gross domestic product shrank by 0.5% in November compared to the same month last year, the economy ministry said, as Russia’s currency resumed its slide, which had been halted with a series of robust government support measures over the previous 10 days. ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
United Arab Emirates
The UAE has turned into a major economic power in the region over the past 10 years, with its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growing from Dh314.8 billion in 2004 to Dh1.54 trillion in 2014, according to a report on the online portal, HotelandRest.
The report showed that the UAE has witnessed a transition from an oil-based economy to a more diverse one with multiple sources of income. In the past 10 years, non-oil sectors contributed 69% of the total GDP, dropping the contribution of the oil sector to almost one third.
The economic growth taking place in the 10 years since the beginning of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s presidency is expected to continue. According to a forecast by the International Monetary Fund, the country’s GDP will rise in 2018 ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has overtaken France to become the fifth largest economy in the world after the money made from prostitution and drugs was counted in the GDP figure for the first time.
Britain's economy is expected to be worth a total £1.86trillion in 2014 - up from £1.63trillion the previous year - compared to £1.82trillion in France, new calculations reveal.
Government figures show that prostitution added about £4.3billion to the economy while illegal drugs provided a roughly £6.7billion boost.
The darker corners of the economy are now being counted - alongside traditional sectors such as farming and financial services ……….The remaining text is not included in this sample.
