Louisville Gas and Electric operates a conventional dual alkali FGD system on its 258-megawatt Unit 6 at the Cane Run Station. This system, as is typical of other sodium-based scrubbers, has proven to be capable of high sulfur dioxide removal efficiency with minimal absorber scaling problems over the years. However, sodium reagent consumption has resulted in high FGD operating costs for this facility. This program, which was funded via EPRI Tailored Collaboration, investigated methods to reduce the soda ash and lime consumption. The paper presents the technical and economic results of a six-month test program where several different methods were tested to measure their effects on system reliability, SO{sub 2} performance, and costs.
