- Summary
- Successful pilot plant tests of simultaneous removal of S0₂ and NOₓ in a wet lime flue gas desulfurization system were concluded in December. The tests, at up to 1.5 MW(e) capacity, were conducted by the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company and Dravo Lime Company for the US Department of Energy at a pilot facility at the Miami Fort station of CG&E near Cincinnati, Ohio. The pilot plant scrubbed a slipstream of flue gas from Unit 7, a 530 MW coal-fired electric generating unit. Tests were conducted in three phases between April and December. The technology tested was wet scrubbing with Thiosorbic{reg_sign} magnesium-enhanced lime for S0₂ removal and simultaneous NO scrubbing with ferrous EDTA, a metal chelate. Magnesium-enhanced lime-based wet scrubbing is used at 20 full-scale high-sulfur coal-fired electric generating units with a combined capacity of 8500 NW. Ferrous EDTA reacts with nitric oxide, NO, which comprises about 95% of NOₓ from coal-fired boilers. In this report, although not precise, NO and NOₓ are used interchangably. A major objective of the tests was to combine NOₓ removal using ferrous EDTA, a developing technology, with SO₂ removal using wet lime FGD, already in wide commercial use. If successful, this could allow wide application of this NOₓ removal technology.
