The existing boiler at the City of Tallahassee's 250 MW Hopkins Station Unit 2 fires natural gas and No. 6 fuel oil. In November 1990, the City and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) signed an agreement to repower the existing Unit 2 with a single circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler, as part of DOE's Clean Coal Technology Program. The CFB boiler, which will be fired with Eastern Bituminous coal, will be approximately twice the capacity of currently operating CFB boilers. This paper outlines objectives of the project and its participants. It will highlight significant technological and environmental issues and addresses the following subjects. Historical perspective of the project; The project organization; Project scope, schedule and cost; and Permitting and environmental issues.
