| Abstract |
The report gives results of a survey of the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system retrofitted to Boilers 1, 2, and 3 at the Green River Station of Kentucky Utilities. The FGD system consists of one wet lime scrubber module designed to handle a maximum of 170 cu m/sec (360,000 afcm) of flue gas at 149C (300F). The scrubber module contains a variable-throat venturi with a flooded elbow for fly ash removal and a mobile-bed contactor for SO2 removal. The flue gas cleaning wastes are discharged from the reaction tank to an on-site clay-lined settling pond. Clear water is recycled from the pond to the system for further use. The system was started up in September 1975 and was certified commercial in January 1976. Ensuing FGD operations revealed a number of major problems which required the utility and the system supplier to repair and replace the scrubber stack shell and liner, install a steam tube air injection reheat system, and modify (and possibly replace) the system's mist eliminator. The FGD system was in service 6046 hours in 1976 and 1964 hours in 1977 (November). |
