Innovative clean coal technology (ICCT): Demonstration of innovative applications of technology for cost reductions to the CT-121 FGD process
The objective of this project is to demonstrate on a commercial scale several innovative applications of cost-reducing technology to the Chiyoda Thoroughbred-121 (CT-121) process. In both greenfield and retrofit situations demonstrations of the following innovative design approaches will further reduce the cost and provide a clear advantage to CT-121 relative to competing technologies. Use of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) to construct the absorber vessel, wet ducts, and chimney (stack), elimination of flue gas reheat, elimination of the spare absorber, and use of a single vessel for simultaneous particulate and SO{sub 2} removal. The demonstration will be performed at Georgia Power Company's Plant Yates Unit No. 1 (100 MW capacity) near Newman, Georgia. The project is being conducted in the following three phases: Phase 1 -- Permitting and Preliminary Engineering; Phase 2 -- Detailed Engineering, Construction, and Startup; and Phase 3 -- Operation, Testing and Disposition. Since April, all environmental permits and FAA approvals have been granted by the issuing authorities with the exception of the gypsum stack design and operating plan permit which is expected within the next 60 days. Phase 2 activities reached a peak during the April--June quarter as major components were fabricated and delivered to the site. Internal installation and finishing work continues on Jet Bubbling Reactor while the Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic chimney only lacks the last few support steel pieces to be complete. Concrete work continues, including containment sumps, ball mill foundation and duct supports. The limestone slurry tank has been finished and acoustically tested but will require additional work on the floor before it will be acceptable. Also, a mechanical contractor has been selected and should begin work in August. There have also been numerous visitors to the site from the Southern Company, DOE, EPRI, Bechtel and Chiyoda. 1 fig.
