A Program Opportunity Notice (PON) was issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) in February 1988, soliciting proposals to demonstrate technologies capable of being commercialized in the 1990's that are more cost effective than current technologies and capable of achieving significant reduction of sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) and/or nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) emissions from existing coal burning facilities. One of the proposals selected is the Babcox Wilcox Company (B W) project that will demonstrate an innovative technology to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from coal-fired cyclone boilers. This technology consists of burning a portion of the coal fuel in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere in a reburning zone. To destroy the nitrogen oxides formed in the main combustion zone, the reburning is located above the combustion zone of the boiler. The project will be conducted at the 100 megawatt (MWe) coal-fired Nelson Dewey Station Unit No. 2, owned by Wisconsin Power Light Company (WP L), located in Cassville, Wisconsin. The WP L plant is presently in commercial operation. The intent of this project is to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of retrofitting coal reburning on a cyclone boiler that is representative of those constructed before New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) became effective. 6 figs., 1 tab.
