Assessment of SO2Control Alternatives and Implementation Patterns for the Electric Utility Industry.

摘要

Four cases were investigated with the computer model developed by Hittman Associates to determine the nature of implementation plans for sulfur oxide control at the regional and national levels. In 1975demand for low sulfur fuels will have exceeded the available supply. The four cases studied will achieve compliance with the state and federal emission regulations by 1986 (one by 1983). All are based on the timely development of solvent refined coal and the availability and utilization of alternative stack gas cleaning and control processes. Control alternatives are summarized and discussed including nuclear power and other advanced energy conversion systems such as hydroelectric and geothermal.
