Description:
The report gives results of studies of the environmental aspects of the pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustion (FBCC) process, using two experimental facilities: a new 218 kg coal/hr miniplant combustor (0.63 MW equivalent), and a 13 kg coal/hr batch combustion unit. Operating results from both facilities indicate that SO2 emissions can be controlled to meet current EPA New Source Performance Standards for coal-fired utility boilers with either limestone or dolomite sorbents. NOx emissions from pressurized FBCC can be controlled to 0.2 to 0.4 lb (as NO2)/million Btu (0.30 g/million J).
