How much chloride (HCl) is normally found in the flue gas from a coal fired boiler? Do some types of coal have higher concentrations of chloride than others?

It depends on the coal. Yes. A mineral assay of the coal should tell you how much Cl is present.

If you have a FGD system the Cl can impact the system's performance. If gypsum is produced for sale, high Cl will lower the value of the gypsum.
