This briefing outlines the significant developments regarding the NOx settlement and current projects within the Mid-Atlantic region. Key topics discussed include control technology advancements, the implementation of low NOx burners, and the progress of various emissions reduction projects. The objective aims to outline the caps on NOx emissions, trading provisions, and environmental benefits while ensuring compliance with multipollutant legislation. Additionally, the meeting addressed ongoing projects, penalty assessments, and planned enhancements to reduce particulate matter emissions.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Mirant Mid-Atlantic MWAQC Technical Advisory Committee Briefing January 21, 2005

  2. Discussion Topics • NOx Settlement • Progress Report on Current Projects • View on Multipollutant Legislation

  3. NOx Settlement

  4. Key Elementsof Mid-Atlantic Global NOx Settlement • Control Technology to be Installed • Potomac River 3,4,5 – Low NOx Burners in 2004, SOFA in 2005 • Morgantown 1,2 – SCRs in 2007, 2008 • Declining NOx Tonnage Caps from 2004 through 2010 • Ozone Season Caps – for Potomac River and System • Annual Caps – for System • Emissions Rate Limits • Ozone Season System limit of 0.150 lb/MBtu starting in 2008 • Morgantown SCRs limit of 0.100 year-round, once installed • Penalty and Projects • Cash payment of $500,000 • Supplemental Projects totaling $1.0 M to reduce dust and particulate matter emissions at the site

  5. Terms of SettlementNOx Caps & Trading Provisions

  6. Environmental Projects PROJECT Est. PM Reduction • Ash Silo Vent Secondary Filters 30 tons • Truck Wash Facility 13.7 tons • Coal Pile Fencing 2.8 tons • Coal Pile Binding Agent 800 lbs • Ash Unloader Replacement 200 lbs • Truck Loading Dust Suppression 200 lbs • Railcar Unloading Dust Suppression 200 lbs • Settled Dust Study • Contribution to Clean Air Partners TOTAL Cost = $1,000,000

  7. Annual System NOx Reductions

  8. Summer NOx Reductions

  9. Benefits of Settlement • Resolves Potomac River NOV • Achieves 0.15 lb/MBtu system NOx average by 2008 • Year-round SCR operation will reduce PM2.5 emissions • Emission caps ensure environmental benefit while allowing flexibility over methods to reach compliance targets • When paired with future SO2 controls, significant Hg and additional PM2.5 reductions

  10. Progress on NOx Projects

  11. Current NOx Projects • Chalk Point Unit #2 SACR • Morgantown #1 SCR • Potomac River #3-5 SOFA

  12. Chalk Point #2 SACR • SACR = Selective Auto-Catalytic Reduction • Injects ammonia + natural gas in convection pass of boiler • Gas acts as catalyst for NOx reduction and consumes excess ammonia • Expecting ~50% reduction in NOx • In final engineering / procurement phase • Reagent switch from anhydrous ammonia to urea • System in service late 2005 / early 2006

  13. Morgantown #1 SCR • First SCR went out for bids in October 2004 • Bid evaluation process underway • Currently on schedule for May 2007 in-service date • Urea selected as reagent

  14. Potomac River #3-5 SOFA • Dampers, drives, ductwork being procured / fabricated • All three units to be retrofitted this spring • Low NOx burners installed on Units 3-5 last spring - 15% reduction • Low NOx burners installed on Unit 1-2 last fall - 5-10% reduction

  15. Potomac River SOFA

  16. Burner Corner SOFA Port

  17. SOFA Ductwork

  18. Multipollutant Legislation

  19. Multipollutant Legislation • Cap & Trade approach vs. Percent Reduction • Realistic Timeline to Implement • Technical: Time to engineer, procure, and install • Financial: Cost of NOx, SO2, & Hg controls simultaneously • Alignment with Federal programs • Mercury • Substantial Co-benefits from NOx & SO2 controls • No large scale / long term demonstrations yet • Continuous Hg monitors not commercially available • CO2 • Few options for significant reduction on coal-fired units • Fuel switch / repowering to gas costly to customer and generator
