This program enables the utility engineer to determine site-specific retrofit costs for six Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) processes: Conventional Wet Limestone, Limestone with Forced Oxidation, Lime Double Alkali, Lime Spray Drying, Wellman-Lord, and CT-121. The calculation methodology is based on EPRI Report CS-3696, ''Retrofit FGD Cost Estimating Guidelines'' published in October 1984, which applies a series of factors to the cost of a new FGD system. The factors correct for site-specific conditions, such as process variables, location, and retrofit difficulty. The following calculations are performed in the program: Total Retrofit Capital Requirement; First-Year Operating and Maintenance (O and M) cost; and Total Levelized Cost. The program uses the Detailed Retrofit Cost Estimate as described in EPRI-CS-3696 with one major exception. The program is equipped to handle up to 5 units of different size, with different fuel characteristics, retrofit difficulty, process variables, etc. Common shared equipment, such as reagent preparation and waste disposal, can also be included.
