Simultaneous SO{sub 2}, SO{sub 3} and NOx removal with ammonia and electron beam irradiation by the EBA process
Details are presented of design, performance, operational experience and cost-effectiveness of an ammonium sulfate/nitrate yielding, 90 MWe-capacity, Electron Beam system retrofit, an initial commercial installation of the EBA Process in high-sulfur bituminous coal service at the Chengdu Power Station of Sichuan Electric Power Administration in China. 1997/1998 system startup and commissioning activities leading to successful acceptance tests in 1998 are reviewed to indicate the scope of problems addressed and overcome, and the resulting broad applicability for low-grade fuel service, e.g. in Asia and North America, is illustrated. A retrofit installation of 220 MWe capacity at a powerplant of Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc., in Japan, 92+% SO{sub 2} and SO{sub 3} removal w/60+% NOx removal, that will start up in late 1999 is reviewed. Process economics, i.e. cost/ton SO{sub 2} removal are presented for: The Chengdu Station installation, 80+% SO{sub 2} and SO{sub 3} removal w/20% NOx removal; and a commonly referenced, hypothetical application on a new unit in the U.S. of 300 MWe capacity with 2.6% sulfur bituminous coal fueling designed for performance of 90% SO{sub 2} and SO{sub 3} removal w/65% NOx removal.
