PISCES field chemical emissions monitoring project: Site 14 emissions report. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Nov 01 04:00:00 EST 1995

OSTI ID:168362

This report is one of a series sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute in the area of trace substance emissions from fossil-fuel power plants. This report presents the results of a sampling and analytical study to characterize trace substances emissions at Site 14. Site 14 is a pilot-scale dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system consisting of a spray dryer and fabric filter. The flue gas for the pilot unit is provided by an adjacent power plant boiler which bums a medium-sulfur bituminous coal. The objective of this report is to transmit the detailed data to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist the Agency m evaluating utility trace chemical emissions as well as the associated health risk impacts-as mandated in Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. This report does not attempt to compare the results with other sites.
