| Economics of Lime and Limestone for Control of Sulfur Dioxide |
|---|
| "Mega" Symposium 2003 |
Presents results of life-cycle cost analyses of major FGD processes that use lime and limestone, including wet limestone with forced-oxidation, wet magnesium-enhanced lime, and dry/semi-dry lime. Shows their relative competitive position relative to reagent cost, auxiliary power cost, coal sulfur content, dispatch, capital cost, and by-product production. Based on a study performed by Sargent & Lundy and sponsored by the National Lime Association. |
| Effects of Inline Rotating Component on Piping System Dynamic Characteristics |
| ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference 2003 |
Examines industry practice of ignoring rotational momentums (gyroscopic effects) within piping system routine analysis. Introduces simplified methodology to provide quick assessment of including inline components with rotary momentum on the system dynamic behavior with mode shape utilization coefficient concept. Presents utilization of classical normal modes to obtain the system non-classical Eigen-Value problem solution characteristics. |
| Lessons Learned from SCR Reactor Retrofit |
| Coal-Gen 2003 |
Discusses the various technical design issues that should be reviewed in order enhance system design and performance and reduce overall installed cost, based on the numerous retrofits engineered by Sargent & Lundy. |
| New Source Review, Multi-Pollutant Legislation, and Mercury Requirements for Power Plants |
| Coal-Gen 2003 |
Examines in detail the air pollution control programs currently in various stages of development that may have significant impacts on coal-fired power plants. Examines the timing of potential compliance strategies and assess the complexities of compliance strategy planning that needs to take into account the diverse potential future requirements. |
| Proposed Regulations to Establish Requirements for Cooling Water Intake Structures at Phase II Existing Facilities |
| Coal-Gen 2003 |
Provides a detailed summary of the proposed 316(b) regulations for existing power plants with once-through cooling systems, including the refinements suggested in the March 19, 2003 NODA. Also offers recommendations on how plant owners can use the time between now and regulation implementation to optimize compliance. |
| State-of-the-Art FGD Technology |
| Coal-Gen 2003 |
Examines the cost history of wet FGD systems and then focuses on new developments in the application of wet FGD systems and the resulting potential reduction in capital and operating costs. Also shares insight on other factors that enhance the specification, purchase, cost-effective erection, and operation of successful FGD installations. |
| New Source Review Changes, Multi-Pollutant Legislation, and Regulatory Initiatives Affecting Power Plants |
| Air & Waste Management Association Conference 2003 |
A timely analysis of pending legislative alternatives. |
| Substation Design and Construction in an Urban Environment |
| IEEE/PES T&D Conference 2003 |
Reviews the design and installation of two new substations near the Chicago central business district. Discusses the approaches used to accommodate the limited areas for new substations in congested urban areas, the requirement to obtain city permits and community approval, and the need to provide uninterrupted service to customers during construction. |
