A fluidized bed combustion system having an output of 35 MW at 80% efficiency when using a coal of heating value 26 MJ/kg with a sulphur content of 3.6% requires a particular limestone to be fed to it at a calcium-sulphur molar ratio of 3.0 so as to limit emissions of SO2 adequately. The limestone used contains 85% CaCO3. The required flow rate of limestone will be
