A sulfur removal system for Detroit Edison's St. Clair station that burns high-sulfur coal was designed by Peabody Engineering. The pilot facility is a two-stage scrubber with a venturi first stage. The second stage, the scrubber, is an impingement tray absorber. Limestone slurry is the scrubbing agent. Various engineering problems were corrected, and in March 1973 the system passed the 500-hour test and consistently removes 90% of the sulfur from the flue gas at limestone-to-sulfur stoichiometric ratios of 1.08 to 1.5. The full-scale installation for St. Clair #6 is operational. Corrosion problems have been corrected, but the major problem remains to be sludge handling. (MCW)
