Start-Up and Performance of a High-Sulfur Dry-Scrubber System

摘要

This report describes the pollution control equipment installed at the Argonne Steam Plant. The control equipment, for particulates and SO sub 2 , was required so that the Laboratory could burn high sulfur mid-western coal. It consists of a lime based spray-dryer fabric filter system. Startup was in November, 1981. Performance tests included both inlet and outlet particulate and SO sub 2 measurements. Based on the results of the initial performance tests, it appears that emission rates are low. Further testing is planned. (ERA citation 08:022946)
