10 MW(e) prototype testing of LIDS{trademark} as part of the Babcock and Wilcox low emission boiler system
- Babcock and Wilcox, Alliance, OH (United States). Research and Development Div.
Babcock and Wilcox (B and W) is currently developing the Limestone Injection and Dry Scrubbing (LIDS) system to be capable of reducing SO{sub x} and particulate emissions significantly below that allowed under the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) while addressing the concerns of solid waste generation and air toxics regulation. The work is being performed as an integral part of B and W`s development of an advanced low-emission boiler system in a project entitled, Engineering Development of Advanced Coal-Fired Low Emission Boiler Systems (LEBS). The overall goal of the DOE`s program is to dramatically improve environmental performance and thermal efficiency of conventional, Rankine cycle, coal-fired power plants. The LIDS process is a limestone-based, furnace injection/dry scrubbing SO{sub 2} removal process. The process comprises the cost-effective integration of three commercially proven flue gas cleanup technologies: furnace limestone injection, dry scrubbing, and pulse-jet fabric filtration. This paper highlights the plans for 10 MW, LIDS testing to be performed in B and W`s world-class Clean Environment Development Facility to demonstrate the B and W LEBS project SO{sub 2} removal goal of 98% and particulate emissions goal of less than 0.005 lb/10{sup 6} Btu under cost-effective operating conditions. Air toxics control and solids by-product issues will be addressed. The paper also includes plans for LIDS in the Proof-of-Concept demonstration in Phase 4.
