One of the responsibilities of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) is to develop cost and performance information on various methods for reducing the emissions of acid rain precursors. A major factor affecting the cost and performance of SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} controls for coal-fired power plants is the degree of difficulty associated with retrofitting controls at existing boilers. This paper presents results from an ongoing program conducted under NAPAP by the U.S. EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory. The objective of this research program is to significantly improve engineering cost estimates currently being used to evaluate the economic effects of applying SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} controls to existing coal-fired utility boilers.
