Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part

1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting. This document supersedes GB/T 21508-2008 "Performance Test Methods for Flue Gas Desulfurization Equipment", and is consistent with GB/T 21508-2008. Compared to previous versions, aside from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:

a) The scope has been changed (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the.2008 edition);

b) The terms and definitions of "load rate" and "desulfurization efficiency" have been removed (see

3.9 of the.2008 edition);

c) Added terms and definitions for "particulate matter," "reference oxygen content," and "removal efficiency" (see 3.8-3.10);

d) Test items such as the variation range of lime digestion rate and desulfurization equipment load rate have been deleted (see

5.1 in the.2008 edition);

e) Added Hg concentration and desulfurization slurry composition testing items (see Chapter 5);

f) The test method for HCl concentration has been changed (see 6.7,

6.3.4.3 in the.2008 edition);

g) The test method for HF concentration has been changed (see 6.8,

6.3.4.4 in the.2008 edition);

h) The test method for particulate matter concentration has been changed (see 6.4,.2008 edition of 6.4);

1 Scope

GB/T 21508-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering proving what a scrubber actually removes - the sampling positions and the measurement of SO2 in and out, the reagent consumption and the power drawn, the gypsum quality and the wastewater, and the corrections that make a guarantee test comparable. At 21,000 words. It replaces GB/T 21508-2008, with the dry and semi-dry equipment standard GB/T 19229.2-2025. In force from 1 May 2026.
