Argonne has had a high-sulfur dry FGC system in operation for the last three years. The authors have successfully demonstrated that reliable, economical removal of sulfur dioxide at and above the levels dictated by the NSPS is possible; shown that a lime-based spray dryer can perform successfully in a retrofit mode, removing 70% of the inlet SO/sub 2/; ascertained (from actual operation) that system economics seem to be in line with published estimates; and found from waste studies that there is a dependence of pH upon leachate concentration (but no concentration of elements was high enough to classify wastes from a dry scrubbing system as hazardous).
