A pulverized coal-fired cogeneration facility, referred to as the Carneys Point Generating Plant, is the first US coal plant equipped with an ammonia-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. The facility was started up in late 1993 and began supplying electricity to Atlantic Electric Company in early January 1994. Commercial operation officially began in the week of March 13, 1994 and the final acceptance tests were completed successfully in May of 1994. This paper presents the description of the facility and SCR system, followed by the operating experience of the SCR system since its initial startup, including: the NOx reduction performance, ammonia injection system and flow control, and compliance with the regulations and requirements of the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
