High SO(2) removal efficiency testing. Technical progress report, March - May 1996
- USDOE Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, PA (United States)
- Radian Corp., Austin, TX (United States)
This project involves testing at six full-scale utility flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, to evaluate low capital cost upgrades may allow these systems to achieve up to 98% SO{sub 2} removal efficiency. The upgrades being evaluated mostly involve using performance additives in the FGD systems. The ``base`` project involved testing at the Tampa Electric Company`s Big Bend Station. All five potential options to the base program have been exercised by DOE, involving testing at Hoosier Energy`s Merom Station (Option I), Southwestern Electric Power Company`s Pirkey Station (Option II), PSI Energy`s Gibson Station (Option III), Duquesne Light`s Elrama Station (Option IV), and New York State Electric and Gas Corporation`s Kintigh Station (Option V). The originally planned testing has been completed for all six sites. The remainder of this document is divided into four sections. Section 2, project summary, provides a brief overview of the status of technical efforts on this project. Section 3, results, summarizes the outcome from technical efforts during the quarter or results from prior quarters that have not been previously reported. In Section 4, plans for the next reporting period, an overview is provided of the technical efforts anticipated for the first quarter of calendar year 1996. Section 5 contains a brief acknowledgment.
