This paper discusses the demonstration of LIFAC sorbent injection technology at Richmond Power and Light`s (RP&L) Whitewater Valley Unit No. 2 under the auspices of the US Department of Energy`s (DOE) Clean Coal Technology program. The project is now in the operations phase, with preliminary results showing that the technology is capable of removing 75 to 85 percent of a powerplant`s SO{sub 2} emissions using pulverized limestone at calcium to sulfur molar ratios between 2 and 2.5 to 1. The site of the demonstration is a 60MW coal-fired electric utility powerplant located in Richmond, Indiana. Economic analyses indicate that LIFAC is less expensive to construct, and on a $/ton of SO{sub 2} removed basis, is very competitive with other SO{sub 2} control technologies. The project is being conducted by LIFAC North America, a joint venture partnership of Tampella Power Corporation and ICF Kaiser Engineers, in cooperation with DOE, RP&L, the State of Indiana, Black Beauty Coal Company, and the Electric Power Research Institute.
