Reauthorization of the Clean Air Act: BACT and utility boilers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6330289
This analysis examines the potential increases in emissions and decreases in control costs that could accompany a relaxation from BACT to NSPS for new utility boilers. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and the capital and operating and maintenance costs of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems were estimated for new coal-fired power plants projected to come on-line between 1983 and 2000, under three scenarios of emission limitations.
