Satriana (2) provides a summary of the development of flue gas treatment technology. The first commercial application of flue gas scrubbing for sulfur dioxide control was at the Battersea-A Power Station [228 MW(e)] in London, England, in 1933. The process used a packed spray tower with a tail-end alkaline wash to remove 90 percent of the sulfur dioxide and particulates. Alkaline water from the Thames River provided most of the alkali for absorption. The scrubber effluent was discharged back into the Thames River after oxidation and settling. A similar process was also operated at the Battersea-B Power Station [245 MW(e)] beginning in 1949. The Battersea-B system operated successfully until 1969, when desulfurization efforts were suspended due to adverse effects on Thames River water quality. The Battersea-A system continued until 1975, when the station was closed. 

In an effort to avoid discharge of scrubber effluent into the Thames River, Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., British Power Authority consultants, and the Howden Construction Company together developed the ICI Howden process, a closed-loop, lime-based system for the removal of sulfur dioxide. This process was installed at the Swansea Power Plant in 1935 and at the Fulham Power Plant in 1937. Both systems operated successfully until their shutdown during World War II.

Weathering of continental rocks increases their TDS and concentrations of calcium and bicarbonate relative to sodium and chloride. The composition of streams so affected plot to the left of both diagrams and include the Columbia, Mississippi, Yukon, and Thames rivers. Evaportranspiration from arid climate drainage basins and streams such as the Colorado, Pecos, and Jordan rivers, which receive soil runoff and irrigation return waters, further increase the Na and TDS content of streams. Concomitant precipitation of CaC03 further shifts the prevalent chemical character of such streams back toward NaCl and the chemistry of seawater. 

The tide advances up the Connecticut and the Housatonic Rivers as a progressive wave (Le Lacheur and Sammons, 1932). Tides and circulation in the Thames River are described by Tolderlund (1975). The East River is a tidal straight with most of its tidal prism derived from New York Harbor (Bowman, 1976a).

Historically, epidemiology was the study of epidemics. One of the earliest studies was British physician John Snow s identification of contaminated water from the Thames River as the source of cholera during 1853-1854. This led to the eradication of cholera... 

Qince the first large sulfur dioxide control system was installed at the Battersea plant in London, it has taken almost 50 yrs for calcium-based scrubbing technology to become commercially acceptable. In 1926, the 125 MW coal-fired Battersea power plant was equipped with a spray packed tower and final alkaline wash section which removed more than 90% of the sulfur dioxide and particulate (I). Thames River water provided most of the alkali for absorption, and about 20% was made up from lime addition. The process operated in an open-loop manner, returning spent reagent to the Thames. 

Another option to reduce SWRO energy consumption is to use diluted seawater. For example, the London desahnation plant shown in Figure 5.5 draws water fi-om the Thames River estuary during the last 3 h of the ebb tide. The feed water TDS is less than half of normal seawater. The 400 M plant commissioned in 2010 has a capacity of 150,000 m /day, enough to supply 400,000 households, and operates on 100% renewable energy with a water recovery >75% [45].

The earliest commercial r licadons of the limestone/liine process were in London, England. The first unit at the Battersea Power Station was put into operation in 1931. This was followed by inqiroved units at Bankside, Swansea, and Fulham. The initial process was primarily a once-through watra- wash, using a small amount of chalk sluny added to the natural alkalinity of the Thames River. In 1938, the Fulham Power Plant was the first to use recycle in the process. This process is basically the same as the mod n limestone/lime systrans.
