I haven't looked at the video yet, but I've worked enough with coal-fired power plants to know that scrubbers are to remove sulfur oxides from the flue gas, not particulates.

I hope that video didn't really say that scrubbers are used for particulate removal, as it would call other information into question.
IIRC, this thread is about the video that was posted by indyflick. As a reminder, the 9-minute video was introduced as a general overview of typical coal fired power plants operated by First Energy. No more, no less. It would help if you would actually watch the video before you question the appropriateness of its content.
Initially, you called out another poster for basically repeating what was in the video. Instead, you stated that 'scrubbers are not used for particulate removal' (paraphrased). That is what I called you on because, as worded, the comment is not true. Based on your last post, I think what you
meant to say the first time around is that based on the coal fired power plants
you have had experience with, you have not seen scrubbers being used for particulate control. Two different things.

The venturi scrubber that you describe for particulate removal is not commonly used on coal-fired power plants. I've never seen one although, as I said, I have not yet had a chance to view this particular video. If the plant in the video uses a venturi scrubber for particulate removal it's a rarity.
