EPRI held a series of ten regional seminars on the Environmental Control and Combustion (EC and C) Program with member utilities. The purpose of the seminars was first to provide sponsoring companies a firsthand opportunity to review and discuss the EC and C Program. Second, they provided the EPRI technical staff with additional insight into the environmental control problem and research priorities as seen by the power production and engineering/R and D departments of the utility industry. In addition to expressing support for the Air Pollution Control activities of EPRI, recommendations were provided by the utilities for increased R and D emphasis on problems affecting the near-term operation of existing and planned power generating capacity. Their recommendations focused on improved water quality control technology and improved performance and reliability of combustion as well as environmental control equipment. These recommendations recognized the pressures faced by the utility industry in meeting increasingly stringent performance requirements with generally diminishing fuel quality. The counsel and recommendations of the utilities received at the regional reviews have been an important consideration in the reorganization of the Fossil Fuel and Advanced System Division.
