Advanced wet flue gas desulfurization and denitrification process, Miami Fort station. Volume 2: Final report
Two hundred and sixty-one coal-fired electric utility generating units in the United States are affected by Phase 1 the 1990 Clean Air Act revisions. The total MW of generating capacity affected is 87,261. Dravo Lime projects that 24,400 MW will be retrofitted with wet FGD for Phase 1; in Phase 2, another 6,600 MW will be retrofitted. Forty-one of the affected units, with a total capacity of 14,343 MW, are located Ohio. Figure A1 shows the location and approximate size of these units. Table Al lists the units and itemizes the allowable emissions. It is likely that several of the larger units in Ohio and elsewhere will be retrofitted by 1995--1997 with magnesium-enhanced lime based wet FGD, and the improvements found in the testing program could be included as part of these installations. Smaller diameter absorbers built for higher flue gas velocities would be easier to fabricate off-site and to ship by barge on the Ohio River to the plant site, as was done for the absorbers installed at the Zimmer station. Much smaller thickeners would be easier to fit onto cramped sites in retrofits.
