Description:
The report gives results of the first year of a comprehensive test program to demonstrate the capabilities of a full-scale plant using the Wellman-Lord/Allied Chemical process for desulfurizing flue gas. The FGD unit is retrofitted to Northern Indiana Public Service Company's 115 MW coal-fired unit No. 11 at the Dean H. Mitchell Station. During the demonstration, which began in September 1977, operating experience was limited by boiler- and FGD-related operating problems. At least 1 year of additional testing will follow completion of a number of design improvements that will eliminate or minimize the problems that have limited FGD plant use.
