PISCES field chemical emissions monitoring project: Site 16 emissions report. Final report

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

OSTI ID:195776

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 16. Site 16 is a pulverized coal-fired boiler burning a medium-sulfur bituminous coal. Site 16 employs electrostatic precipitators for particulate control. Measurements were conducted under two modifications: overfire air and a combination of overfire air with low-NO{sub x} burners. The objective of this report is to transmit the detailed data to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist the Agency in 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.
