Title: Integrated Air Pollution Control System design and cost-estimating model Version 2 (IAPCS2). user's manual. Volume 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6766330

The manual describes and is a guide to the user of Version II of the Integrated Air Pollution Control System (IAPCS-II), a computerized-simulation model for estimating the costs and predicting the performance of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter control systems for coal-fired utility boilers. It gives the design bases of the modules comprising the model and the structure of the program itself, as well as the bases for a number of model enhancements available to the user. The model includes conventional and emerging technologies that effect pre-in-situ, and post-combustion emission control. The model can accept any combination of the technology modules built into the system. Interactions are reflected in a material-balance tabulation of the exit of each module. Alterations in the material balance are used to account for integrated performance and cost effects. The emission control technologies contained in IAPCS-II can be selected in either isolated or integrated configurations. IAPCS-II incorporates a number of enhancements to the design premises of the emission-control modules, as well as the model's user access and versatility.
