Evaluation of the technological feasibility, and cost of selected control alternatives necessary to meet the proposed Ohio SO/sub 2/ regulations for industrial boilers and processes. Volume VIII. Union Carbide Carbon Products Division, Fostoria plant. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5266745
This report presents an evaluation by the GCA Corporation, GCA/Technology Division, of technological feasibility and cost of complying with the proposed Ohio sulfur dioxide regulation (40 FR 52410, November 10, 1975) at Union Carbide's Fostoria Activated Carbon Plant. The final USEPA Sulfur Dioxide Control Strategy for the State of Ohio Technical Support Documents, Vol. I and II, (EPA 905/2-76-002) may be obtained from NTIS. Union Carbide employs a unique activation process using sulfur that would be affected by the proposed regulation. A sulfur dioxide emission reduction of 96.8 percent would be required. After collecting necessary process and site specific data by means of a plant visit, the technical feasibility and cost of lime scrubbing to achieve the required sulfur dioxide reduction were determined.
