Utility retrofit demonstration using Chiyoda Thoroughbred-121 flue gas desulfurization technology

Technical Report · Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6492608

This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared by the US Department of Energy (DOE), in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), for a demonstration project that will be cost-shared by DOE and private industry under the Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) program. The proposed action is a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) project to be conducted at the Georgia Power Company's Plant Yates site in Newnan, Georgia. The technology proposed involves conventional limestone FGD chemistry, forced oxidation and gypsum crystallization in one vessel. The CT-121 technology will be operated for a period of approximately 24 months. Site specific impacts associated with the project include the following: changes in air quality due to reduced levels of SO{sub 2} and particulate matter in the treated flue gas which is emitted through a temporary stack, and the production of a new gypsum solid waste. 9 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
