Significance of chemical engineering for advanced power generation technologies . The demands placed on power plant engineers have altered with the introduction of advanced technologies of power generation, with the classical physical areas of work being increasingly augmented by tasks requiring considerable knowledge of chemical engineering. This change began with the introduction of the desulphurization of flue gases in fossil‐fuel fired power plant and continued steadily with the further development of environmental protection requirements. In addition, demands for reduction of emission in connection with high fuel prices led to the development of new power plant technologies permitting better utilization of input energy. With the aid of examples taken from the whole field of advanced powerplant technology and which range from development and design of non‐polluting and more efficient power plant processes to questions of disposal of power plant by‐products it is shown to what extent conventional powerplant engineering is pervaded by chemical engineering questions.
