ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of a study conducted under the National Acid
Precipitation Assessment Program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency"s Air
and Energy Engineering Research laboratory. The objective of this research program
was to significantly improve engineering applying cost estimates currently being
used to evaluate the economic effects of applying sulfur'dioxide (S02) and nitrog~n
oxide (NO) controls at 200 large S02 emitting ~oal-fired utility plants. To I
accomplis~ the objective, procedures were developed and used that account for site- .
specific retrofit factors. The site-spedfic information was obtained from :aerial .
photographs, generally available data bases, and input from utility companies. Cost
results are presented for the following control technologies: lime/limestone flue
gas desulfurization, lime spray drying, coal switching, furnace and duct sorbent
injection, low NOx combustion or natural gas reburn, and selective catalytic
reduction. Although the cost estimates provide useful site-specific cost'
information on retrofitting acid gas controls, the costs are estimated for a
specific time period and do not reflect future changes in boiler and coal :.
characteristics (e.g., capacity factors and fuel prices) or significant changes in
control technology cost and performance.

RETROFIT COSTS OF S02 AND NOxCONTROL
AT 200 U.S. COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS
INTRODUCTION
"
The primary objective of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Progran (NAPAP)
study of 200 U.S. coal-'fired power plants was to 'improve cost estimates for
retrofitting flue gas desulfurization (FGD) controls at 200 of the largest S02
emitting coal-fired power plants in the 31, eastern states. This study is probably
the most comprehensive conducted to date that evaluates boiler-sp~cific retr6fit
factors for large coal-fired power plants in the above cited region. 1he re~ults
may be used for broad analysis of the cost of ~ontrolling acid rain precursors.
Figure 1 shows the' phases in which the NAPAP study of 200 plants was conducfed. In
Phase I, detailed, site-specific procedures were developed with input from the
technical' advisory committee. In Phase II, these procedures were used to evaluate
, retrofit costs at 12 plants based on data collected from site visits. Based on the
results of this effort, simplified. procedures were developed to estimate site-
specific costs without conducting site visits. In Phase III, the simplified
procedures were verified or modified based on utility input by visiting 6 of the 50
plants. The modified procedures were then used to, estimate retrofit costs at the
remaining 138 plants. In Phase IV, utility comments were incorporated into the
final 200-plant study report. Table 1 presents the commercial and developmental S02
,and NOx control technologies evaluated under,the NAPAP program.
COST METHODOLOGY
For each plant, a boiler profile was developed based either on site visits or from
sources of public information; the primary public source was Energy Information
Administration (EIA) Form 767. Additionally, ,boiler design data were obtained from
Powerplants Database magazine [1], and aerial photographs were obtained from state
and federal agencies. The plant and boiler profile information was used to develop
the input data for the performance and cost models. All of the cost estimates were
developed using the Integrated Air Pollution Control System (IAPCS) cost
model [2]. Figure 2 presents the methodology used to develop IAPCS inputs to
estimate site-specific costs of retrofitting S02 controls. The site-specific
information sources were used to develop process area retrofit multipliers, scope
adder costs, and boiler/coal parameters. This information was input to the IAPCS
cost model which generated the capital, operating and maintenance (O&M), and

levelized annual costs ,of control and the emission reductions. The use of process
area retrofit difficulty multipliers and scope adder costs to adjust generic cost
model outputs to reflect site-specific retrofit situations was derived from an EPRI
report [3].
COST ESTIMATES FOR U.S PLANTS
"
Table 2 summarizes the economic bases used to develop the cost estimates. The
economic bases used in this study are not necessarily those that would be used
currently or by a utility company. This study was conducted between 1985 and 1990.
Economic assumptions such as inflation rate, cost of money, cost of consumables, and
expected plant life may be expected to vary with time. These parameters are from
the 1986 EPRI Technical Assessment Guide [4] escalated to 1988 dollars. The number
of boilers varied for each control technology because in some cases technology
application was technically not feasible. There were 631 boilers evaluated in the
200 plants.
For each control technology, the following three figures are presented: capital
cost (dollars/kilowatt), levelized annual costs (mills/kilowatt hour), and cost per
ton of S02 removed (dollars/ton) each plotted v~rsus the sum of controlled
megawatts. The x-axis (sum of megawatts) is the cumulative sum of the boiler size
sorted in order from the lowest to the highest cos~ to control. Also identified on
each curve are the 25, 50, and 75 sum of megawatt percent points for the bo~lers
included in the figure. Each point on the curve represents a specific boiler cost
result. The first point represents the boiler that had the lowest capital cost and
unit cost. The last point represents the boiler that had the highest cost. The
curves turn up sharply because each curve was developed starting with the boiler
having the lowest control cost and ended with the boiler having th~..highest control
. ~ -.
cost. The cost results do not represent the ~verage or cumulative cost of control.
Costs developed in this report are based on economic assumptions which may not
represent a particular utility company's economic guidelines. The cost results are
static (not dynamic) and represent a single figure (1985 base year or other figures
specified by the individual utility company) with regard to capacity factor,coal
sulfur, and pollution control characteristics.
FGD Costs Estimates
Figures 3 through 5 summarize the cost estimates developed for wet lime/limestone
(L/LS) FGD for 449 boilers. Two FGD configurations were evaluated: a conventional
4

-------
New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) design Having a single system for each
boiler, small absorber size (125 MW or less), and one spare absorber; and a low-
cost design that does not have a spare absorber, uses larger absorber sizes when
feasible (up to 300 MW), and combined boiler systems when feasible.
Cost estimates for FGD were developed for only 449 of 631 boilers because 46 boilers
were already equipped with FGD systems, 130 boilers were burning low sulfur coals
(many are 1971 NSPS units), and 6 boilers were too small or about to be retired.
The percent increase in capital cost for retrofitting an FGD system over a typical
new plant installation ranged from 19 to 100 percent, with the average being 45
percent.
Figures 6 through 8 summarize the cost estimates for lime spray drying" (lSD) for all
the boilers for which costs were developed. Two control opti~ns were considered for
the retrofit of this technology: reuse of th~ existing electrostatic precipitator
(ESP) or installation of a new fabric filter (FF). Reuse of the existing ES~was
not considered for the following boiler situations: when the specific collection.
area (SCA) of the existing ESP was small « 220 ft2/1000 actual ft3/min)l, and
when the addition of new plate area was impractical (e.g., roof-mounted ESPs).
In s~ch cases, a new FF was used for particulate matter control with the spray
prying system. If a unit is burning high sulfur coal (greater than 3 percent
sulfur), LSD with a new FF was not considered because it was assumed that wet FGD .
would be economically more attractive. Based. on the cited criteria, 168 ~oilers
were considered with a new FF option, and 195 boilers were considered with reuse of
existing ESPs. . ~.
For wet L/LS FGD;the'characteristics of the low, mid, and high unit cost boilers
are:
  Low S/ton Mid S/ton HiQh S/ton
Size, MW  496 194 100
Coal Sulfur, percent l.4 2.4 1.0
Capacity Factor 33.0 56 6

lIt is EPA policy to use metric units. English units are used in this
paper because they are familiar to readers. Metric conversion factors
~re given at the end of this paper.

Coal Switchina Cost Estimates
For coal switching (CS), two fuel price differentials (FPDs) were evaluated: $5/ton
and $15/ton. The $5 to Sl5/ton FPD was assumed to represent an estimated range for
the FPD after passage of acid rain legislation. The CS cost estimates are highly
dependent upon the FPD. The impacts of particulate matter control upgrades and coal
handling upgrades are generally small by comparison. Figures 9 through 11 summarize
the costs for 329 boilers in the 200 plants for which costs were developed for CS.
CS was not considered for some units because the units either already burn a low
sulfur coal or have wet bottom boilers that can b~rn only coals with s~eci~l ash
fusion properties. Capital costs for coal switching are predominantly from coal
inventory capital costs (30- to 60-day coal, inventory cost difference).
For coal switching, assuming a $15 per ton FPD, the low, mid, and high cost boilers
are:
 Low Siton Mid S/ton H~ah S/ton

Sorbent Injection Cost Estimates

~Two sorbent injection technologies in active research and development were evaluated
in this study: 1) duct spray drying (OSO) and 2) furnace sorbent injection (FSl-)
with humidifi~ation. Figures 12 through 17 summarize the cost estimates developed
for these technologies.
Some boilers were not considered good candidates for these technologies because:
.
FSI and OSO were not considered practical for boilers having an ESP SCA of
<220 ft2/1000 aCfm,2
(I
OSO was not considered if the duct residence time from the i~jection point
after the air heater to the ESP inlet was less than 2 sec «100 ft. of duct
length), and
.
FSI was not considered feasible for wet bottom and down-fired boilers.
, .
Only 321 boilers were considered' appropriate for OSO, and 289 were considered for
FSI applications. The costs presented for FSI assume 50 and 70 percent S02 control, .
with humidification to bracket the expected removal rate. No design parameter
changes were assumed to achieve either 50 or 70 percent S02 removal. Costs
presented for OSO assume 50 percent S02 'reduc~ion., '

low NOx Combustion Cost Estimates
~~
Figures 18 through 20 summarize cost estimates for application of low NOx burner
(lNB) technology on dry bottom wall-fired boilers (20-55 percent NOx reduction),
overfire air (OFA) on tangential-fired boilers (10-35 percent NOx reduction), and
natural gas reburn (NGR) on all other boiler firing types (60 percent NOx
reduction). However, for boilers where NGR is-applied, the unit costs are S400 to
$1100 per ton of NOx removed. This is due to the cost of natural gas relative to
coal (assumed to be $2 per million Btu in 1988 dollars). For this study, 228
boilers were candidates for lNB, 214 boilers for OFA, and 81 boilers for NGR. Some
of the boilers were not considered for low NOx combustion technologies because of
the reservations of plant personnel regarding applicability of these technologies.
For low NOx combustion, the boiler characteristics of the low, mid, and high unit
cost boilers are:
 low $/tqn Mid S/ton HiQh $/ton
Size, MW 865 626 30

lNC Type OFA OFA lNB
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Cost Estimates
Figures 21 through 23 summarize the cost estimates for application of SCR. For most
of the units, cold-side, tail-end systems were assumed (the reactor downstream of
the particulate control or scrubber). In some instances, due to space availability
limitations or the unit's being equipped with a hot-side ESP, a hot-side, high-dust
system configuration was used (the reactor between the economizer and the air
heater). Use of the tail-end system minimizes unit downtime, which reduces the
uncertainty of estimating the cost of replacement power, and maximizes the catalyst
life. However, a significant energy penalty is associated with flue gas reheating,
compared to a hot-side system (equivalent to 1200F reheat). This cost was not
included in this study. because the early version of IAPCS model did not estimate
this cost. Reheat costs estimated by the most recent version of IAPCS increase the
annual cost of control by 20 to 30 percent for cold-side systems. For this study,
624 boilers were evaluated for SCR retrofit.

CONCLUSION
For each S02 and NOx control technology evaluated under this study, different
factors affected control cost and performance estimates for retrofit applications at
coal-fired boilers. Table 3 identifies those factors found to have the most
significant effects.
The cost and performance information presented is a realistic guide regarding the
degree of retrofit difficulty for each control option evaluated. However, as noted
in Table 1, the technologies evaluated in this study are at various stages of
commerclal development. There is a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the cost
and performance of those technologies that do not have extensive commercial
~pplication in the U.S. Therefore, no attempt has been made in this study to
identify a best option for each plant/boiler. .
Additionally, a utility company's decision concerning which retrofit control to
apply to a given boiler is very complex. The data contained in .this report can
provide guidance in selecting the least-cost control options for specific
plants/boilers for various planning scenarios. The information can also be used by
technology developers to identify market niche and cost and performance go~ls.
Studies are currently ongoing to evaluate the market niche for two advanced sorbent
injection technologies and several advanced combustion technologies.
