Performance Improvement by
Introducing INDION 6354,
Multifunctional Oxidizing Agent
for Reduction in SOx Emission

Most of the people in this world are concerned
about the environmental impacts of coal-based
power plants. Coal fired power plants are one of
the sources of SOx emissions. SOx emission has
serious impact on the health of neighbouring
people, such as increased rates of premature
death, to the exacerbation of chronic respiratory
diseases, and it also affect the environment.
Methods like FGD (Flue Gas Desulphurization
System), Sulphur Neutralizing Agent etc. help in
reducing the SOx level.
