Description:
The manual gives a general description of the Shawnee lime/limestone scrubbing computerized design/cost-estimate model and detailed procedures for using it. It describes all inputs and outputs, along with available options. The model, based on Shawnee Test Facility scrubbing data, includes a combination of material balance models provided to TVA by Bechtel National, Inc., and capital-investment/revenue requirement models developed by TVA. The model provides an estimate of total capital investment, first year operating revenue requirements, and lifetime revenue requirements for a lime or limestone scrubbing facility. Also included are a material balance, an equipment list, and a breakdown of costs by processing areas. The model should be used to project comparative economics of lime or limestone flue gas desulfurization processes (on the same basis as the model) or to evaluate system alternatives before developing a detailed design. The model is not intended for use in projecting the final system design.
