This report is a resource document for the development of Federal standards of performance for control of sulfur dioxide emissions for new industrial boilers. It presents capital and annualized costs for SO/sub 2/ control technologies applied to coal- and residual oil-fired industrial boilers. Control costs are presented for model boilers with heat-input capacities of 100, 150, 250, and 400 million Btu per hour firing fuels with various sulfur contents and achieving 50, 70, and 90% SO/sub 2/ reduction using flue-gas-desulfurization systems. The algorithms used to calculate these costs are also presented.
