The technical and economic feasibility of converting the Danskammer Power Plant at Roseton, NY from oil- to coal-firing was examined. This plant, built in 1950, was converted from coal- to oil-firing in 1971. Evaluation of the plant showed that oil-to-coal conversion is technically feasible, but modifications or additions to existing plant equipment would be required to meet coal handling needs and pollution control regulations. With no flue gas desulfurization equipment the 1980 cost of plant reconversion is estimated as $50.3 million. A FGD system would require an additional $40 million in direct costs. The total time estimated for engineering, construction, and licensing is 57 months. (LCL)
