This paper discusses two potential locations for a Proof-of-Concept (POC) Test Facility Design being developed under the US Department of Energy`s Low Emission Boiler System (LEBS) program. The primary goal of the LEBS program is to develop the next generation of pulverized coal-fired power systems to meet stringent emissions requirements with high energy conversion efficiency. The DB Riley team has been chosen to go forward with Phase 4 of the LEBS Program. Phase IV of the program will include the final design and construction of the POC Test Facility. The POC Test Facility plan for the DB Riley Team has been broadened to two potential locations: (1) A greenfield plant at Turris Mine, Elkhart, Illinois and (2) A repowered Cogeneration Steam Plant at the Savannah River Site, Aiken, South Carolina. Testing at existing large-scale experimental facilities is proposed to support either POC site. The Turris Mine location is currently being pursued as the primary site with the Savannah River location being considered as a contingency location. Each POC Facility includes provisions for testing and evaluating two important LEBS technologies: an advanced U-fired low-NO{sub x} slagging combustion system and the copper oxide flue gas cleanup (FGC) process.
