In Phase I of an ABB/DOE research program to develop cost-effective retrofit technologies to improve collection of fine particles and air toxics in electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), test campaigns were conducted in ABB`s pilot test facility to evaluate the performance impacts of flue gas cooling, flue gas humidification, pulsed ESP energization and sorbent injection. Each technology was found to provide performance improvements while firing a variety of coals, with cumulative benefits often observed. This paper focuses on the mercury control investigations performed on three coals generating fly ash that is traditionally difficult to collect, presenting results from the Phase I tests and plans for slipstream field testing in Phase II of the program.
