Enhancing the use of coals by gas reburning-sorbent injection: Quarterly report No. 3 for the period December 1, 1987-February 29, 1988
The objective of this project is to demonstrate gas reburning-sorbent injection (GR-SI) emission control technology on three pre-NSPS (National Environmental Policy Act) coal-fired utility boilers in Illinois. The goals are to achieve NO/sub x/ and SO/sub x/ emission reductions of 60 and 50% respectively. Work on Phase 1 of the program, Design and Permitting, commenced on June 5, 1987. During this quarter, work progressed on all tasks of this project, except Engineering Design, which awaits NEPA approval. Preliminary field tests have been carried out on the host units to obtain temperature and velocity measurements for comparison with heat transfer modeling and isothermal flow modeling simulations. The agreement between measurements and modeling varied with the boiler load. Overall, the results support the premise the isothermal flow modeling provides an adequate simulation of the flow field for the design of the reburn, burnout and sorbent injection systems. The progress in obtaining NEPA approval of the Environmental Information Volumes was delayed by the recognition that additional regulations must be satisfied. Each volume is being revised, with the first NEPA approval expected next quarter. The Environmental Monitoring Report Outline was submitted to the co-funders and DOE for their approval, and work on permitting design assistance to the host sites has been initiated. 9 figs.
