Comprehensive report to Congress: Clean coal technology program: Low NOx/SOx burner retrofit for utility cyclone boilers.

摘要

In December 1987, Public Law No. 100-202, as amended by Public Law No. 100-446, provided $575 million to conduct cost-shared Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) projects to demonstrate emerging clean coal technologies that are capable of retrofitting or repowering existing facilities. A Program Opportunity Notice (PON) was issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) in February 1988 soliciting proposals to demonstrate technologies that are capable of being commercialized in the 1990's that are more cost effective than current technologies, and capable of achieving significant reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO(sub 2)) and/or nitrogen oxides (NO(sub x)) emissions from existing coal-burning facilities, particularly those that contribute to transboundary and interstate pollution. One of the ''retrofit'' proposals selected was the ''Low NO(sub x)/SO(sub x) Burner Retrofit of Utility Cyclone Boilers'' by TransAlta Resources Investment Corporation (TRIC). This project will demonstrate a combustion technology for the control of both SO(sub 2) and NO(sub x) for both new and existing coal fired plants. This report briefly describes the above project. 7 figs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 15:034322)
