Abstract: A method of incinerating sludge in a combustor is disclosed including establishing at least one target performance characteristic of the combustor; introducing the sludge into the combustor as primary fuel; monitoring at least one performance parameter of the combustor; calculating an actual performance characteristic based on the performance parameter; and adjusting the quantity and/or quality of fuel introduced into the combustor in response to a monitored performance characteristic to substantially maintain the target performance characteristic.

Abstract: Systems and methods of treating flue gas and wastewater generated by treating the flue gas are disclosed and include introducing the flue gas, a flue gas treatment fluid that removes sulfur dioxide from the flue gas; and an organic acid conditioning agent into a wet-oxidation scrubber/absorber; introducing FGD scrubber wastewater generated by the wet-oxidation scrubber/absorber into an anoxic biological reactor to substantially denitrify the FGD scrubber wastewater; and introducing resulting substantially denitrified FGD scrubber wastewater into an anaerobic biological reactor to substantially reduce the amount of sulfate and/or selected heavy metals in the FGD scrubber wastewater.
