Tyndall, M., F. Kodras, J. Puckett, R. Symonds, AND W. Yu. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR RESIDUAL OIL UTILIZATION--SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-78/175 (NTIS PB286982), 1978.
Description:
The report describes progress in an environmental assessment of processes using residual oil for electric power generation. It presents emissions data from the literature and preliminary sampling, with material balances and flow diagrams for hydrodesulfurization, flue gas desulfurization, partial oxidation, and chemically active fluid bed processes. It describes a computer program for a theoretical engineering analysis that will provide emissions output for the processes studied. A detailed sampling and analysis matrix has been developed that specifies sampling points, procedures, and analyses, including bioassays for all emissions and effluents. Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEGs) and Minimum Acute Toxicity Effluents (MATEs) are used to develop pollutant prioritization and source analysis models. Methods for developing economic cost models are described.
