Economics of four FGD systems. Final report
The Electric Power Research Institute contracted with Stearns-Roger Engineering Corporation to prepare an assessment of the economics of four flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems: a conventional limestone scrubber, a cocurrent limestone scrubber, a Chiyoda Thoroughbred 121 limestone scrubber, and a Wellman-Lord scrubber. This report presents and compares the economic evaluations of each of these systems. Using the standardized evaluation premises, Stearns-Roger developed typical FGD systems for each of the four selected processes designed to meet the latest Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) promulgated June 11, 1979. EPRI's Economic Premises for Electric Power Generating Systems were used as the basis for the economic criteria. Technical and cost data were developed for the treatment of flue gases from large-scale utility boilers (500 MW) burning typical high sulfur coal (4%). These data were then evaluated to test cost sensitivities to changes in coal sulfur content and plant size.
