Design guidelines for a furnace sorbent injection waste management system: Final report
Furnace Sorbent Injection (FSI) is a commercially available and applied retrofit technology used to control SO/sub 2/ emissions. This report presents technical guidelines for designing and operating the waste management system of an FSI facility equipped to burn coal. Waste transfer, storage, pretreatment/conditioning, transport, and disposal are addressed. These guidelines are based on current FSI waste management practices and associated operating problems as well as critical waste properties (e.g., chemical constituents, gradation, density, moisture content, flowability, strength, leachate properties, etc.). Consequently, the report briefly describes the waste management practices of six existing or planned utility installations and two industrial facilities using bituminous coal as their primary fuel source. Results of waste property tests conducted as part of this study, and test data from other studies are reported and compared. Conceptual designs of retrofit FSI waste management systems are presented to demonstrate the economic impact of FSI on waste management. Parametric cost sensitivity analyses illustrate the impact of significant design parameters on waste management costs. 136 refs., 93 figs., 58 tabs.
