Project  Summary
                        EPA Utility  FGS  Survey
                        October-December  1981
                          This report, generated by a com-
                        puterized data base system, presents a
                        survey of operational and planned
                        domestic utility flue gas desulf urization
                        (FGD) systems, operational domestic
                        particle scrubbers, and Japanese
                        coal-fired utility boiler FGD installa-
                        tions. It summarizes information
                        contributed by the utility industry,
                        system and equipment suppliers,
                        system designers, research organiza-
                        tions, and regulatory agencies. It
                        presents data on  system design, fuel
                        characteristics, operating history, and
                        actual performance.  Unit by unit
                        dependability parameters are included,
                        and problems and solutions associated
                        with the boilers, scrubbers, and FGD
                        systems are discussed.
                          The domestic  FGD systems are
                        tabulated alphabetically by develop-
                        ment status (operational, under con-
                        struction, or in the planning stages),
                        utility company, system supplier,
                        process, waste disposal practice, and
                        regulatory  class. FGD system eco-
                        nomic data, definitions, and a glossary
                        of terms are appended to the report.
                        Current data for  domestic FGD sys-
                        tems show 94 systems in operation,
                        40 systems under construction, and
                        88 planned systems. Projected 1999
                        FGD controlled capacity in the U.S. is
                        107,351 MW.

                          This Project Summary was developed
                        by EPA's Industrial Environmental
                        Research Laboratory, Research Tri-
                        angle Park. NC, to announce key
                        findings of the research project that is
                        fully documented in a separate report
                                    of the same title (see Project Report

                                    Introduction
                                     The FGD survey report is prepared
                                    quarterly for EPA's Industrial Environ-
                                    mental Research Laboratory, Research
                                    Triangle Park, NC. The information in
                                    this  report is generated by a compu-
                                    terized data base system known as the
                                    Flue Gas Desulfurization Information
                                    System (FGDIS). The FGDIS structure
                                    diagram. Figure 1, shows the informa-
                                    tional areas the system addresses and
                                    some representative data  items con-
                                    tained in each. The design information
                                    contained in the FGDIS encompasses
                                    the entire emission control system and
                                    the power generating unit to which it is
                                    applied.  Performance data for opera-
                                    tional FGD systems include monthly
                                    dependability parameters, service time,
                                    and descriptions of operational problems
                                    and solutions.
                                     Aside from its use in generating the
                                    survey report, the FGDIS is available for
                                    remote terminal access. Because the
                                    survey report is now available only
                                    through purchase from the National
                                    Technical Information Service (NTIS),
                                    the  data  base  represents a more
                                    immediate method for users to examine
                                    the data  acquired under the survey
                                    program. Access to the FGDIS also
                                    enables users to obtain additional data
                                    that are too specific for inclusion in the
                                    quarterly report. Direct access to the data
                                    base allows statistical analyses of the
                                    data (e.g., averages, maxima, minima,
                                    and  standard deviations  of various
                                    parameters), the use of simple mathe-

Executive Summary
  Table 1 summarizesthestatusof FGD
systems  in the  U.S. at the end  of
December 1981. Table 2  lists the units
that changed status during the fourth
quarter 1981, and Table 3 shows the
performance of operating units during
this period. The  units included in the
figures presented  in Table 1  are
identified in Table 4, and categorical
FGD system cost data are presented in
Table 5.
  Current projections indicate that the
total power generating capacity of the
U.S. electric utility industry will be about
831 GW by the end of 1999. (This value
reflects the annual loss resulting from
the retirement of older units, which is
considered to be 0.4% of the average
generating capacity at the end of each
year.1'2) Approximately 373 GW or
45% of the 1999 total will come from
coal-fired  units. The distribution of
power generation sources, both present
(December 1980) and future (December
1999) is shown in Table 6.1
                                        Table 1.

" The adjusted costs were developed in an attempt to establish a common cost basis for FGD systems so that cost comparisons can be made. Reported
 costs are adjusted by deducting all costs associated with paniculate matter control, adjusting sludge disposal site for ne w and retrofit systems to a
 common 30-year and 20-year life, and adjusting annual costs to a common 65 percent capacity factor. Both capital and annual costs are escalated to
 common 1981 dollars.  Other cost adjustments are made as well.
  Based on the known commitments to
FGD by utilities as presented in Table 1,
the percentage of electrical generating
capacity controlled by FGD for both the
present (December 1981) and the future
(December 1999) is shown in Table 7.
  In light of the revised  New  Source
Performance Standards, actual  FGD
control is expected to be  greater  than
what is reflected by the figures above.
For  example,  about 50-60 systems
representing approximately 29,000 -
31,000 MW of generating capacity now
fall  into  the  uncommitted category.
These  are systems  that cannot be
included  in the  committed group  now
because  information regarding their
status is  not ready for public release.
  To show general  FGD  usage  and
projected  usage  trends. Table 6 gives
current (December 1981) a nd projected
(December 1999) breakdowns of throw-
away product systems versus salable
product systems as a percent of the total
known commitments  to FGD as of the
end of the fourth quarter 1981.
  The following  paragraphs highlight
FGD system developments during the
fourth quarter 1981.
  Alabama Electric announced that the
Tombigbee 3 FGD  system achieved
availabilities of 97%, 99%, and 96% for
October,   November, and December,
respectively.  No major FGD related
problems were  noted  during the 3
months.
  Arizona Electric Power reported that
the Apache 3 FGD system achieved 96%
and 100% availabilities for October and
                            November, respectively. Information for
                            December was not available for this
                            report.

                            and  2 FGD systems during October,
                            November,  and December.  No  major
                            FGD-related problems were encountered
                            during this quarter.
                              Big Rivers Electric reported that the
                            Green 1 FGD system achieved 96% and
                            99%  availabilities for November and
                            December,  respectively. Operations at
                            the beginning of the fourth quarter were
                            restricted due to piping and damper
                            problems.
                              The Newton 1 FGD system of Central
                            Illinois Public Service achieved avail-
                            abilities of  100%, 98%, and  100% for
                            October, November, and December. No
                            major FGD-related  problems were
                            encountered during this quarter.
                              Delmarva Power & Light announced
                            that the FGD  system  installed on
                            Delaware 2 achieved availabilities  of
                            100%,  89%, and 99%  during the
                            quarter. Some ESP and  presaturator
                            problems were  noted during the 3
                            months.
                              Duquesne Light reported that the
                            FGD system installed at Elrama achieved
                            95%, 100%, and 100% availabilities for
