Enhancing the use of coals by gas reburning-sorbent injection: Quarterly report No. 4, March 1, 1988--May 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. Baseline testing was completed on the wall fired boiler, and baseline testing has been scheduled on the tangentially fired boiler. Isothermal flow modeling work was completed for the wall fired and tangentially fired boilers and has been started for the cyclone fired boiler. The flow modeling results were used to aid in the design of reburn fuel, burnout air and sorbent injection systems. Further process specification work included thermal performance analysis to select arrangements for GR-SI installations. Also, a study of ESP performance at the three host sites and site specific ESP enhancement options has been initiated. Work in Task 3, Project Engineering, has also been initiated. In the environmental area, target dates have been set for the submittal of detailed, revised Environmental Information volumes for each site. Also, as part of Technology Transfer, an economic analysis of GR-SI was initiated. 9 figs.
