The Chiyoda Thoroughbred CT-121 flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process at Georgia Power`s Plant Yates has recently completed a two year demonstration of its capabilities under both high- and low-particulate loading conditions. This $43 million demonstration was co-funded by The Southern Company, the Electric Power Research Institute, and the U.S. Department of Energy under the auspices of the Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) program`s second round. The focus of the project was to demonstrate several cost-saving modifications to the already efficient CT-121 process. These modifications included: the extensive use of fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) in the construction of the scrubber vessel and other associated vessels, the elimination of flue gas reheat through the use of an FRP wet chimney and reliable operation without a spare absorber module. This paper will focus on the successes of the two-year project as well as the lessons learned during the first extended operation of a full-scale scrubber in the Southern electric system.
