Acid dew point temperature (ADT) of a flue gas produced by the combustion of a fuel containing 1% sulphur may be about ____________ °C?

Correct answer: B. 130

  • A. 80
  • B. 130
  • C. 180
  • D. 250

Explanation

Sulphur in the fuel forms sulphur oxides, mainly SO₂ with some SO₃, and the resulting sulphuric-acid vapour condenses at an acid dew point commonly near 120 to 150°C. Thus, about 130°C is the suitable value.
