Enhancing the use of coals by gas reburning-sorbent injection: Quarterly report No. 5, June 1, 1988--August 31, 1988
The objective of this project is to demonstrate gas reburning-sorbent injection (GR-SI) emission control technology on three pre-NSPS coal-fired utility boilers in Illinois. The project goals are to achieve NO/sub x/ and SO/sub x/ emission reductions of 60 percent and 50 percent, respectively. Work progressed on all tasks of the project. Revised costs and schedules for Phase 1 were submitted to the funding organizations and negotiations were completed with all except one major subcontractor. Baseline tests were conducted at all three host sites. Process design studies included isothermal flow modeling, heat transfer and combustion flow modeling, evaluation of precipitator performance with GR-SI, and small scale combustion tests to generate ash for disposal evaluation. These results are being translated into hardware designs in the project engineering task. Complete bid packages will be ready next quarter. Work in the environmental area focused on preparation of the Environmental Information Volumes for DOE's National Environmental Policy Act compliance review. A memo-to-file indicating compliance for the tangentially fired site was filed. However, complete environmental assessments will be required for the other two sites. Three technical presentations were made on the process to continue technology transfer. 8 figs.
