PISCES Field Chemical Emissions Monitoring Project: Site 18 emissions report. Final report
This report is one of a series sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute in the area of trace substance emissions from fossil-fuel power plants. This report presents the results of a sampling and analytical study to characterize trace substances emissions at Site 18. Site 18 is a pulverized coal-fired boiler burning a medium-sulfur bituminous coal. Site 18 employs electrostatic precipitators for particulate control. During the sampling project, a pilot pulse-jet fabric filter treated a small fraction of the flue gas downstream of the ESP. Measurements were also conducted around the pilot fabric filter. The objective of this report is to transmit the detailed data to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist the Agency in evaluating utility trace chemical emissions as well as the associated health risk impacts -- as mandated in Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. This report does not attempt to compare the results with other sites. An assessment of data from all plants that have been tested is presented in the Electric Utility Trace Substances Synthesis Report (EPRI TR-104614).
