Economic evaluation of FGD systems. Volume 1. Throwaway FGD processes, high- and low-sulfur coal. Final report
This volume presents the estimated cost for 10 throwaway FGD systems and a coal cleaning process based on December 1982 cost and technology. These systems were evaluated for operability, technical merit and commercial availability. The FGD systems were evaluated for both high and low sulfur coal applications at a hypothetical 1000 MW (two 500 MW units) power plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This arbitrary reference plant was selected to ensure consistent comparisons, and to increase the relative accuracy of the costs presented. A flow sheet, material balance, equipment list, system description and utility consumption list form the basis of each FGD evaluation. Cost information was obtained from process vendors, Stearns-Roger information, and published reports. Capital costs were estimated by factoring costs of process equipment (i.e., an EPRI Class II estimate.) Operating costs were estimated from reagent and utility consumption. The levelized capital and operating costs were developed using EPRI's standard economic premises. Costs have an absolute accuracy of +-30 percent. However, since methodology, scope and unit costs are consistent, the relative accuracy between process estimates probably is +-15 percent.
