| Abstract |
The report gives results of a survey of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to control SO2 and particulate emissions from two existing 125 MW generating units at Nevada Power Company's Reid Gardner Station. Two additional 125 MW units, originally planned for installation in 1976 and 1977, are to incorporate similar FGD equipment. (Installation of the second new unit has been postponed indefinitely.) The FGD systems utilize a sodium carbonate scrubbing process. The systems, placed in operation in April 1974, did not meet SO2 and particulate performance guarantees during their first year of operation. Each system utilizes twin parallel venturis followed by an absorber tower. As of August 1, 1975, System 1 had operated for 3814 hours and System 2, for 2947 hours. Potential availabilities for the systems seem to be near 100 percent, but the plant has not had access to an adequate supply of trona, a sodium carbonate ore that constitutes the scrubbing medium. Alternate sodium carbonate sources were secured recently. |
