PISCES field chemical emissions monitoring project: Site 11 emissions report. Final report

Technical Report · Fri Dec 01 04:00:00 EST 1995

OSTI ID:225974

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 11. Site 11 is a large, pulverized coal-fired power plant that burns a low-sulfur sub-bituminous coal. Site 11 employs electrostatic precipitators and a flue gas desulfurization system for particulate and SO{sub 2} control. Testing at Site 11 was performed in the summer of 1990, with additional retests in August 1992 and April 1993 for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and mercury, respectively. Sampling and analytical problems during the initial test period necessitated the retests. 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. An assessment of data from all plants that have been tested is presented in the Electric Utility Trace Substances Synthesis Report (EPRI TR-104614).
