| Abstract |
The report describes the site specific changes required to convert an existing lime FGD system to a limestone system enhanced by dibasic acid (DBA) or adipic acid, and the costs of making such a change. In 1982-83, pilot plant tests were conducted at the R. D. Green Station of Big Rivers Electric Corporation (BREC). The final report of the pilot testing included comparisons of the operating costs of a lime-based full-size absorber, to those of a retrofit limestone system enhanced with DBA or adipic acid. Results of this analysis indicate that an annual cost savings of $2.6 million could be achieved by converting the existing BREC lime system to an adipic-acid-enhanced limestone system, and an annual savings of $3.1 million could be achieved by converting to a DBA-enhanced system. |
