This stage is designed to destroy any [[Wikipedia:Carbon monoxide\|Carbon Monoxide]], [[Wikipedia:Volatile organic compound\|Volatile Organic Compounds]], and [[Wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds\|dioxins]] and [[Wikipedia:Furan\|furans]] produced by the [[Combustion]] process.

	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 [[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:~~Dioxin~~\|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]].
