The [[flue gases]] are then cooled by passing through a waste-heat boiler and economiser, before passing into the final, abatement section of the process. Powdered [[Wikipedia:Lime (material)|lime]] (Calcium Hydroxide) and powdered [[wikipedia:Activated carbon|activated carbon]] are added to the flue gases entering the abatement process to remove acid gases, heavy metals and residual [[Wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds|dioxins]] and [[Wikipedia:Furan|furans]] before discharge to atmosphere from the stack. The flue gases being discharged from the stack are continuously monitored for [[wikipedia:Hydrogen chloride|Hydrogen Chloride]], [[wikipedia:Sulfur dioxide|Sulphur Dioxide]], [[Wikipedia:Carbon monoxide|Carbon Monoxide]], [[Wikipedia:Nitrogen oxide|Oxides of Nitrogen]], particulate matter (dust), [[Wikipedia:Volatile organic compound|Volatile Organic Compounds]], [[Wikipedia:Oxygen|oxygen]], [[Wikipedia:Ammonia|Ammonia]] and [[Wikipedia:Nitrous oxide|nitrous oxide]]. | The [[flue gases]] are then cooled by passing through a waste-heat boiler and economiser, before passing into the final, abatement section of the process.
