Reisdorf, J B; Scheck, R W

The Electric Power Research Institute contracted with Stearns-Roger Engineering Corporation to determine the feasibility of demonstrating a regenerable Wellman-Lord/RESOX flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system at the 100 MW size. The study included site evaluation, preliminary design, capital cost estimating, and scheduling information associated with the possible construction at the Arthur Kill Station of Consolidated Edison of New York, Inc. The Arthur Kill Station is a feasible site for construction of an 100 MW unit. The preliminary capital cost estimate to engineer, procure, construct, and start up the demonstration plant is $36 million of $360/kW expressed in 1981 dollars. Alternatives to the scope are detailed whereby the installed cost is reduced to $29 million or $290/kW. These alternatives affect plant reliability and increase the operating costs.
