As Public Utility Regulatory Policies ACT (PURPA) legislation has evolved and matured, the independent power producer (IPP) has had the opportunity to be in the forefront of new generation. This paper discusses the experience, problems, requirements, and solutions of one IPP installation. The Argus Cogeneration Expansion (ACE) Project is located in Trona, California, adjacent to the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation (KMCC) Argus Facility. It is a 108 MWe installation with a Pyroflow coal fueled circulating fluidized bed (CFB) non-reheat boiler which will provide electricity to Southern California Edison's grid and process steam to the adjacent KMCC soda ash manufacturing facility.
