The Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company and Dravo Lime Company successfully completed a pilot plant testing program for the Ohio Coal Development Office. The 3 to 4.5 MW pilot system was installed at the Miami Fort station of the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company near North Bend, Ohio, and treated a slipstream of flue gas taken from Miami Fort Unit 7. The pilot plant was designed and constructed to test improvements to the magnesium-enhanced lime wet flue gas desulfurization (MEL FGD) process. Construction of the pilot facility and testing were co-sponsored by the Ohio Coal Development Office, Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co., and Dravo Lime Company. The magnesium-enhanced lime wet FGD process, also known as the Thiosorbic[reg sign] lime process, was developed by Dravo Lime Company. The project had three main objectives. The first was to test design concepts that, if proven in pilot tests and then implemented in a full-scale FGD system, could reduce the cost of equipment required for FGD. A 30 percent reduction in overall equipment cost was sought, along with reduction in operating costs. The baseline for cost reduction was the cost of a conventional limestone-based FGD system. One purpose of the project was to test concepts to improve the magnesium-enhanced lime FGD system. These concepts, if successfully tested, could lead to new design bases for MEL FGD systems.
