Description:
The report is the project manual for the dual-alkali system, designed by Combustion Equipment Associates, Inc./Arthur D. Little, Inc. and being installed to control SO2 emissions from Louisville Gas and Electric Company's Cane Run Unit No. 6 boiler. The project consists of four phases: I--preliminary design and cost estimates; II--engineering design, construction, and mechanical testing; III--startup and performance testing; and IV--1 year operation and testing. Developed as part of Phase I, the project manual includes a detailed description of the dual-alkali process chemistry, the design of the demonstration system at LG and E, material and energy balances for the system, specifications of major equipment items and offsites, and capital and operating costs. Costs for this application have been generalized for new applications on 500 and 1000 MW high-sulfur coal-fired boilers.
