In December 1990, the US Department of Energy selected 13 projects for funding under the Federal Clean Coal Technology Program (Round III). One of the projects selected was the project sponsored by LIFAC North America, (LIFAC NA), titled LIFAC Sorbent Injection Desulfurization Demonstration Project.'' The host site for this $22 million, three-phase project is Richmond Power and Light's Whitewater Valley Unit No. 2 in Richmond, Indiana. The LIFAC technology uses upper-furnace limestone injection with patented humidification of the flue gas to remove 75--85% of the sulfur dioxide (SO[sub 2]) in the flue gas. The work performed during this period (July--September 1992) was consistent with the revised Statement of Work (Scope Increase) and the approved schedule change contained in the Cooperative Agreement. During this period, emphasis was placed on startup and commissioning activities and baseline testing. Work was conducted under the three tasks comprising the Operations Phase. Summary of the work performed under these tasks is given.
