Tampa electric company polk power station igcc project--project status

摘要

Over the last nine years, Tampa Electric Company has taken the Polk Power Station from a concept to a reality. In 1996, we reported on the permitting, engineering, construction, contracting, and staffing of the project. Our papers at the Fifth and Sixth Annual Clean Coal Technology Conferences discussed startup experiences, the early operating history of the plant, and results of alternate fuel testing. In this year's paper, we will provide an update on the reliability statistics and discuss in more detail some of the specific problems we have encountered and resolved.
