Trona removes SO3 ahead of ESP at AEP Gavin

Trona T200 removed SO3 while conditioning the Gavin Plant ESP. T200 can used on a commercial scale to provide a reliable and cost effective SO3 mitigation technology. T200 is used year around to condition the ESP. T200 under most conditions can be injected into the ducts providing a trouble free SO3 mitigation process.

EGTEI methodology: update of costs for LCP- Draft minutes of third meeting of June 11, 2012

Objectives of the meeting The objectives of the meeting were to examine the state of progress of the work by the secretariat CITEPA and KIT, respectively for SO2 / PM (CITEPA) and NOx (KIT). A series of slides for discussion was prepared by the secretariat and discussed during the meeting in order to progress in the estimations (presentation pdf joined to these minutes). Main results of the discussions After some slides describing the main results of the meeting of 31 January, the success of the questionnaires send on April 5th, 2012 was discussed. The EGTEI secretariat has developed two questionnaires. One questionnaire in EXCEL format aims at collecting cost data for plants. A second questionnaire was developed to answer to comments of experts to the document prepared for the January meeting, presenting the methodology and assumption/parameters which have to be updated. This document is a word document summarizing the parameters used in the methodology and asking for comments and/or new data.

SO3 Poses New Challenges and Opportunities for Power Plants

SO3 is a pollutant but it is injected into flue gas to improve particulate control. However, SO3 interferes with mercury capture. It is unintentionally created by SCR catalysts. It is the major component of condensibles in total particulate. SO3 control is key to a new approach to power plant efficiency improvement. Power plant decisions need to consider all the economic, operational and environmental impacts for each potential approach involving SO3. A number of decision trees need to be navigated and then revisited. The best route can be likened to GPS guidance. McIlvaine has created a system for making all power plant air quality decisions: 44I Power Plant Air Quality Decisions. A fast track decision tree on SO3 has just been posted in the system.

Dry Injection of Trona and Sodium Bicarbonate for Multi-Emissions Control by Yougen Kong, Solvay Chemicals - Hot Topic Hour October 27, 2011.

Dr. Yougen Kong, P.E., Technical Development Manager at Solvay Chemicals, Inc., discussed dry injection of Trona or sodium bicarbonate, a low-cost solution to meet the SO2 and HCl limits in CSAPR, Utility MACT and Boiler MACT. Both Trona and Sodium bicarbonate are effective in reducing SO2 and HCl. Trona is slower to react and therefore less effective on SO2 but possibly better if all you want is HCl removal. Lots of the bicarbonate will be tied up in SO2 removal. So if you want to just remove HCl Trona may be the answer.

Dry Sorbent Injection for Simultaneous SO2, HCl, and Hg Removal by Keith Day, United Conveyor. Hot Topic Hour October 27, 2011.

Keith Day, United Conveyor Corporation (UCC), described the results from several recent dry sorbent injection tests for simultaneous SO2 and HCl removal. Dry injection can achieve high removal efficiencies at low cost. There is a backlog of testing but the design and construction period is less than with scrubbers. So if you need to do something in a hurry this is a good route. In fact you can start with a portable unit and then move to a permanent unit later.

SO3-Monitoring in Flue Gas of a Power Plant Application & Results by Dan Kietzer, Sick Hot Topic Hour October 13, 2011.

Discussed SO3 control using dry sorbent injection (DSI). DSI offers benefits in both lower emissions and less corrosion to critical plant components. Until recently, a real time monitor to provide feedback control of the DSI was not available. Real time SO3/H2SO4 analyzers have been installed and tested in coal-fired power plants in the U.S. and have been used to control the injection process and reduce sorbent usage. Sick has built upon existing technology to provide a device which can improve reagent efficiency and substantially reduce reagent cost.

Mark Pastore, Director Business Development at Environmental Energy Services, Inc., and John Jeffery at Environmental Energy Services, Inc. presented the perspective of a stack testing company on the accuracy of stack testing methods gained over fifteen years of testing experience. They focused on the importance of understanding the test methods being employed and the way the tests are actually run to ensure consistent and accurate data. Their conclusions are: If the methods are done by the book, the results will be consistent and accurate. Base decision making on accurate measurements. Continuous SO3 and NH3 monitors are tools for trending and mapping pollutants in the duct.
