SERA Project Summary
Proceedings of the 1982 Joint
Symposium on Stationary
Combustion IMOX Control
Robert E. Hall, Dennis C. Drehmel, and Michael W. McElroy
The 1982 Joint Symposium on Sta-
tionary Combustion NO, Control was
held November 1 through 4 in Dallas,
Texas. This was the second symposium
on IMOx control jointly sponsored by
EPA and EPRI; the first was held in
Denver in 1980. The symposium is a
consolidation of EPRI's previous NO*
Control Technology Seminars and
EPA's Symposia on Stationary Source
Combustion. The objective of the sym-
posium is to give attendees the oppor-
tunity to exchange information on the
latest advances in combustion technol-
ogy. Such an exchange of information
contributes significantly to the devel-
opment of cost-effective and reliable
NOx control systems.
This Project Summary was developed
by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering
Research Laboratory, Research Trian-
gle Park, NC, to announce key findings
of the research project that is fully doc-
umented in two separate reports of the
same title (see Project Report ordering
information at back).
Proceedings
Over 50 papers were presented, begin-
ning with an update of NOX regulatory
trends; focusing on development of con-
trol technology for coal-fired utility boil-
ers, industrial power equipment, and pro-
cess heaters; and discussing advances in
fundamental combustion research. Speak-
ers represented a wide variety of organi-
zations including electric utility compan-
ies, manufacturers of utility boilers and
process equipment, research and devel-
opment groups conducting investigations
sponsored by EPRI and EPA, and EPRI and
EPA personnel. Representatives from
Japanese and West German utilities and
boiler manufacturers provided status
reports of activities in those countries,
lending an international perspective to
NOX control issues.
CoChairmen of the symposium were
Robert E. Hall and Dennis C. Drehmel of
EPA, and Michael W. McElroy of EPRI.
Introductory remarks were delivered by
Robert C. Carr, program manager in the
Air Quality Control Program of EPRI's
Coal Combustion Systems Division. The
welcoming address was given by Frances
Phillips, Deputy Regional Administrator
for EPA Region 6. The symposium pro-
ceedings have been published in two
