A fuel oil is fed to a furnace and burned with 25% excess air. The oil contains 87.0 wt % C, 10.0% H, and 3.0% S. Analysis of the furnace exhaust gas shows only N2, Oz, CO2, SO2, and H,0. The sulfur dioxide emission rate is to be controlled by passing the exhaust gas through a scrubber, in which most of the SO, is absorbed in an alkaline solution. The gases leaving the scrubber (all of the N2, O2, and CO2, and some of the H2O and SO, entering the unit) pass out to a stack. The scrubber has a limited capacity, however, so that a fraction of the furnace exhaust gas must be bypassed directly to the stack.
