Equipment that washes or treats flue gas to remove sulfur dioxide and other pollutants, including flue-gas desulfurization, wet, dry and venturi scrubbers and amine gas treating. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes a scrubber or flue gas treatment. These systems clean the gas leaving a furnace or process by bringing it into contact with a liquid, a sorbent or a chemical, removing acid gases and other pollutants before release. A technology is placed here by the scrubbing or gas treating process the cited article names.

Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a set of technologies used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants, and from the emissions of other sulfur oxide emitting processes such as waste incineration, petroleum refineries, cement and lime kilns.

Has Member: Venturi Scrubber, LeadQuote, Has Member: Venturi Scrubber, Lead
A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from a high-velocity inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream.

Scrubber systems (e.g. chemical scrubbers, gas scrubbers) are a diverse group of air pollution control devices that can be used to remove some particulates and/or gases from industrial exhaust streams.
Amine gas treating - Wikipedia
Has Member: Amine Gas Treating, LeadQuote, Has Member: Amine Gas Treating, Lead
Amine gas treating, also known as amine scrubbing, gas sweetening and acid gas removal, refers to a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various alkylamines (commonly referred to simply as amines) to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases.
