Monitoring Strategies for Fluidized Bed Combustion Coal Plants

摘要

Air and water monitoring strategies for commercial-size Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) coal plants are presented. This is one of five reports developing air and water monitoring strategies for advanced coal combustion (FBC), coal conversion (coal gasification and liquefaction), and oil shale conversion commercial-scale plants. The objective of the five-part project is to assure that, when any of the coal or oil shale technologies become commercialized, appropriate and cost-effective monitoring requirements are in effect to protect the public health and the environment without delaying commercialization. In this report, air quality monitoring strategies are presented for compliance audits, and for monitoring fugitive emissions. Water quality monitoring strategies are presented for leachates from fly ash and other solid wastes and from coal and sorbent material storage piles, and for pollutants generated by cooling towers, ponds, or canals.
