Description:
The report describes first-year activities of a comprehensive EPA-funded study of a commercial fabric filter unit on a 350-MW low-sulfur-coal-fired unit at Southwestern Public Service Company's Harrington Station at Amarillo, Texas. Two years will be required to complete collection and assessment of 1 full operating year's worth of data. Following the testing phase of the program, operational and maintenance data will continue to be recorded until 1982 to determine the long-term reliability of the system. Special tests will be conducted through the use of an onsite pilot baghouse. First-year activities include installation of support systems, startup of the full-scale fabric filter system, and planning for special test programs. Special testing on the full-scale system began in February 1979. Results will be included in the next annual report.
