This document provides a discussion of the technical progress on DOE/PETC project number DE-AC22-92PC91338, ``High Efficiency SO{sub 2} Removal Testing,`` for the time period 1 July through 30 September 1996. The project involves testing at six full-scale utility flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, to evaluate low capital cost upgrades that may allow these systems to achieve up to 98% SO{sub 2} removal efficiency. The upgrades being evaluated mostly involve using performance additives in the FGD systems. The ``base`` project involved testing at the Tampa Electric Company`s Big Bend Station. All five potential options to the base program have been exercised by DOE, involving testing at Hoosier Energy`s Merom Station (Option I), Southwestern Electric Power Company`s Pirkey Station (Option II), PSI Energy`s Gibson Station (Option III), Duquesne Light`s Elrama Station (Option IV), and New York State Electric and Gas Corporation`s Kintigh Station (Option V). The originally planned testing has been completed for all six sites. The remainder of this document provides a brief overview of the status of technical efforts on this project, including those efforts anticipated for the first quarter of calendar year 1996, summarizes results from prior quarters, and contains a brief acknowledgment. 13 refs.
