Advanced Flue Gas Desulfurization (AFGD) Demonstration Project

Technical Report · Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1990

OSTI ID:5719381

This project entails the design, construction and operation of a 528 MWe AFGD facility to remove SO{sub 2} from coal-fired power plant flue gas at the Northern Indiana Public Service Company's Bailly Generating Station, located approximately 12 miles northeast of Gary, Indiana. The facility will be used to demonstrate a variety of advanced technical and business-related features, during a three-year period of operation which is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1992. These features include: single large absorber, high velocity co-current absorber, direct injection of pulverized limestone, single loop absorber with in situ oxidation to produce commercial gypsum, air rotary sparger, wastewater evaporation system, and an own and operate'' business arrangement. The AFGD facility will achieve SO{sub 2} removal levels of 95% or more, without chemical additives. During the reporting period January 1990 through June 1990, design activities passed the 50% completion point. Three test programs were in progress to support the project design. A brief description of the work performed for each of these tests is provided below.
