Kinetics and Mass Transfer
Information on reaction kinetics for the magnesia scrubbing
system is limited, but for reasons stated below, information
from other systems may be of some help in understanding
the magnesia system. Chertkov (15), using an aqueous
alkaline absorbent, proposes the following sequence of
reactions for scrubbing sulfur dioxide.
SO2 (g) = S02 (solution)
H20 + SO2 (solution) = HSS03=+H2O
(27)
(28)
(29)
(30)
The reaction mechanism is considered to be independent
of the source of hydroxide ions; therefore, information
from similar alkaline systems may be directly applicable to
the magnesium system.
Chertkov assumes that the hydration step, equation 28 is
the slowest step, and at elevated S02 concentrations, it will
become rate limiting. However, if ammonia, sodium
hydroxide, or sodium carbonate are the absorbents, equation
28 becomes rate limiting only when the S02 concentration
in the gas phase exceeds 3.5% (19).
Reported mass transfer coefficients vary widely and are
difficult to compare because of different experimental
conditions, scrubber type, gas velocity, liquid intensity,
temperature, and solution composition. Based on data
obtained from a packed absorber and magnesium sulfite-
bisulfite slurry (50° C, pH 6.2) as the absorbent, Chertkov
reports that sulfur dioxide mass transfer coefficients are
directly proportional to gas flow rates up to at least 5.9
ft/sec. The relationship between mass transfer coefficient
and gas velocity is found in figure 33.
As shown in figure 34, changes in liquid mass rate also
have a noticeable effect upon the mass transfer process.
With constant gas flow rate, Chertkov reports the mass
transfer coefficient, K, to be proportional to liquid
intensity raised to the 0.4 power.
In the pH range tested, 6.1 to 6.4, liquid film resistance
was not important, but Chertkov states that, with lower
pH, liquid film resistance will be more significant because
of reduced S02 solubility and increased viscosity. The
increased liquid film resistance leads to a decrease in mass
transfer rate and, thus, would tend to favor the slurry
process (high pH) over a clear liquor process.
Using clear liquor solutions, Markant et al (63) have
measured mass transfer coefficients in venturi scrubbers at
rather high gas velocities and under a wide variety of
conditions. Their data covered much higher gas velocities
than did Chertkov's, 30-100 ft/sec vs 1-6 ft/sec. The results
(figure 35) show the increased mass transfer that occurs
with higher gas mass flow rate.
While no information on the effect of temperature on
S02 transfer rates into MgS03 slurries is available, results
from ammonia, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide
scrubbing shed light on the magnesia system (20). As shown
in figure 36, the mass transfer coefficient, K, falls only
slightly with increasing temperature when using NaOH or
Na2C03 scrubbing solution, but the decrease in K is quite
pronounced in the ammonium sulfite-bisulfite system.
Chertkov attributes the behavior difference to the rapid
increase in S02 vapor pressure with temperature in the
ammonium bisulfite system.
Thus, if the pH of a magnesia scrubbing slurry remains
above 7.0 where S02 vapor pressure is very low, the adverse
influence of increased temperature on K will be slight. But,
in an acid-sulfite solution (lower pH), S02 vapor pressure
increases rapidly with temperature (63); therefore,
significant reduction in K will occur.
Using venturi scrubbers and magnesium sulfite-bisulfite
solution (not slurry), Markant et al (63) find that S02
absorption efficiency decreases by about 10% between
110° F (44° C) and 170° F (77° C) at 0.812% MgS03-
5.09% Mg(HS03)2. They also show that the decreased
scrubbing efficiency can be offset by increasing the MgS03

increases with temperature in a slurry system, it is doubtful
if any significant decrease in S02 absorption will occur
with moderate temperature changes.
Formation of Crystalline Deposits (Scaling)
Because crystalline deposits of hydrated magnesium sulfites
might form when saturated solutions or slurries are used to
scrub SO2, there is naturally some concern about potential
scaling problems. While several theories are advanced to

explain crystal growth, there is general agreement that, for
a crystal to grow, it must overcome two resistances:
diffusion of solute molecules or ions to the crystal face and
incorporation of the solute into the crystal. Diffusional
resistance depends on solution properties and movement of
solution through the crystal. Incorporation of solute into
the crystal depends on the properties of the crystal and
crystal temperature.
Studies made with KA1S04-12H2O (6), CuS04-5H20
(65), and MgSO4-7H20 (22) show that crystal growth rate
initially increases rapidly with solution velocity past the
crystal face, but levels off at higher solution velocities. The
KA1S04-12H20 growth rate becomes independent of
solution velocity above 1-3 in./sec. Magnesium sulfate
heptahydrate growth rate levels off at about 9 in./sec. For
CuS04'5H2O, the increase in growth rate becomes
negligible above a solution velocity of 2 in./sec.
Clontz et al (22) show that the rate at which
MgS04'7H20 was incorporated into the crystal increased
with degree of supersaturation and temperature. Botsaris
and Denk (6) also show that growth rate increases with
degree of supersaturation.
In general, at low solution velocity, crystal growth rate
depends on solution velocity, but at higher velocity, crystal
growth rate is independent of solution velocity. This
"breakpoint" occurs below 1 ft/sec. Crystal growth rate,
particularly at higher solution velocities such as will occur
in pipes, increases with crystal temperature and degree of
supersaturation.
For the process under consideration, MgS03-6H20
crystal growth may be expected at points of high solution
velocity and turbulence where solutions are supersaturated
with MgS03 or at wet-dry interfaces of scrubbers. In a pilot
39
-------
plant study, Downs and Kubasco (27) found magnesium
sulfite deposits most prevalent at points of extreme
turbulence such as sump suction and discharge, and along
threaded sections of plastic pipe. The deposit appeared as a
"hard, resilient, plate-like deposit" tightly bonded to the
metal surfaces. Similar deposits of CaS04-2H20 and
CaS03-1/iH20 occur in the limestone system.
Downs and Kubasco note several factors which influence
deposit formation:
1. Systematic shifting of sulfite slurry concentration.
2. Availability of precipitation surface area.
3. Nature of the surface material.
4. Fluid flow environment.
Systematic shifting of MgS03 slurry concentration may
occur by chemical reaction or temperature changes and, in
either case, probably changes the degree of supersaturation.
They propose the following reactions for the gas-liquid
scrubber:
SO 2 +OH' -> HSO3 (31)
S03= + H20 -> HS03- + OH- (32)
MgS03 -6H20 -» Mg++ + S03= + 6H20 (33)
The net equation is
MgS03-6H20 + SO2 -* Mg+++2HS03 + 5H20 (34)
thus, relatively insoluble MgS03 actually dissolves to the
more soluble Mg(HS03)2 in the gas-liquid scrubber. In the
sump, where bisulfite is partially neutralized with MgO,
these reactions occur:
HS03 + OH' -> S03
+ H20
MgS03-6H20
(35)
(36)
The last reaction is the mechanism by which crystal
growth proceeds. They support this mechanism with the
following observations:
1. No deposits form in the gas-liquid contact zone
where MgS03 is actively dissolving.
2. Deposition is most severe in the sump and piping
when the system is acid and MgO is directly added to the
sump.
3. Deposition was substantially reduced by changing the
MgO makeup point from the sump to the gas-liquid contact
zone.
To insure rapid reaction, they preslaked the MgO;but, in
view of its reactivity, preslaking does not appear to be
necessary.
Temperature cycling may occur when there is a
temperature drop between the inside pipe wall and bulk
liquid or in the bulk slurry due to heating by flue gas and
cooling by makeup slurry and water. In either case,
solutions may become supersaturated and crystal growth
occur.
Downs and Kubasco find fly ash very effectively reduces
the tendency to form solids. They attribute this to
additional suspended surface created by the finely divided
fly ash and the abrasive or scouring action of fly ash.
The ability of a solid to adhere to a solid surface
depends on the attractive force between the surface and the
deposit. Downs and Kubasco relate the attractive force to
the wetability of the surface by sulfite solutions. Surfaces
not wet by liquids have little affinity for the liquid;
therefore, the contact angle between liquid and surface is
high; i.e., the liquid forms beads on the solid surface. When
the affinity between liquid and solid surface is high,
wetability is high and contact angles are lower.
The polyvinylidene chloride pipe material used in their
tests has a surface with a large contact angle; therefore, in
zones where deposit formation is a problem, it is a better
material of construction than steel or brass which has a
lower contact angle.
In summary, the following action should be taken to
reduce deposit formation.
1. Reduce the degree of MgS03 supersaturation and
precipitation by adding MgO as close as possible to the S02
scrubber and where possible maintain constant
temperature. Avoid dramatic pH changes which result in a
shift from acid to base or base to acid.
2. Allow some fly ash into the system.
3. Choose the proper material of construction where
supersaturation and high solution flow rate or turbulence
are unavoidable.
In addition, the use of a high solids concentration in the
scrubbing slurry will provide additional deposition sites;
therefore, reduce scale formation. The solids concentration,
of course, is limited by pumping and erosion difficulties.
Process Contaminants
Soluble impurity buildup in particulate scrubber—For
those particulate removal systems which must operate with
closed loop scrubbing liquor, consideration should be given
to contaminant buildup. Usually recycle water from the ash
pond is used to scrub fly ash from the flue gas with the
resulting slurry pumped back to the pond. Makeup water is
added only to compensate for humidification losses.
Two sources of soluble impurities should be considered:
1. Makeup water.
2. Soluble impurities leached from the fly ash.
Both will be highly variable and little is known of the
leaching characteristics of fly ash. Presented in table 4 are
typical limits of fly ash analysis of United States
bituminous coals (77). The sulfur trioxide reported in the

coal ash analysis represents sulfur retained in the ash and
consists principally of CaS04.
Because of the paucity of laboratory data on fly ash
leaching, the relative importance of leaching vs makeup
water to the impurity buildup problem was estimated using
data from a TVA power plant. Recognizing variability in fly
ash leaching and makeup water composition, the
information below is not universally applicable.
Table 5 presents average Cl", S04=, andCaC03 analysis
of makeup water. The calculated impurity input is based on
0.266 1. of makeup water per pound of coal burned.
Table 6 shows analysis of ash pond water. It can be
assumed that the dissolved minerals in the water are derived
from both ash leaching and makeup water. The impurity
input in g/lb coal burned is estimated from analysis of
water leaving the pond and the quantity of pond water per
pound of coal burned which is about 3.69 1.
A comparison of table 5 with table 6 shows that the fly
ash supplies most of the soluble impurities in the ash pond
water.
Based on the pond water analysis and a pond volume of
150,000,000 gallons, the level of impurity buildup during 1
year can be calculated for a 500-mw unit burning 375,000
pounds of coal per hour. Results are found in column 4 of
table 6.
The increase of CaC03 and S04= over an operating time
of 1 year is enough to precipitate CaS04 and perhaps
CaC03. Not considered in the calculation is the influence
of SO2 and S03 in the flue gas. The pH of the pond water
at the power plant from which the data were taken is 10.1.
In such case, some S02 and S03 will also be scrubbed out
in the particulate scrubber. The S03, on the order of 0.001
volume %, will immediately be converted to sulfate. In the
absence of laboratory or pilot plant data, the effect of the
SO2 on impurity buildup is conjectural. The S02 will lower
the pH of the pond water and probably increase the rate of
leaching. At the same time, the decreased pH may be
enough to prevent precipitation of CaC03. Because there is
excess 02 in the flue gas, some of the absorbed S02 may be
oxidized either in the scrubber or in the ash pond, causing
the sulfate concentration to increase. The presence of

dissolved iron and manganese will accelerate the oxidation
rate both in the scrubber and in the pond.
The decreased pH and increased S04~ will tend to favor
CaS04 precipitation and prevent CaC03 precipitation.
Unless steps are taken to control the calcium and sulfate
level, CaS04 scaling could occur in the recycle line and the
scrubber system. Increased chloride ion buildup, particularly
at low pH, could also increase corrosion rates.
Impurity buildup could be controlled by bleeding off a
small stream from the pond recycle at a rate .which
compensates for impurity input. At least three methods of
treating the bleed stream are available: ion exchange,
storage in a deadend pond with reliance on solar evapora-
tion to maintain pond volume, or crystallization by steam
evaporation with solid disposal. Ion exchange is perhaps the
most expensive treatment method. In dry climates with
high solar evaporation rates, storage in deadend ponds
should be possible. In portions of eastern United States
with high rainfall, the bleed stream would have to be
concentrated by evaporation before being sent to a deadend
storage pond.
Soluble impurity buildup in the S01 scrubbing system-
With regeneration and recycle of MgO, the sulfur dioxide
scrubbing system also will operate closed loop, and
therefore, will be subject to buildup of impurities which
would result in scaling and corrosion problems. The
estimated system losses of water and magnesium oxide are
0.075 Ib water/lb coal burned and 8.11 x 10'4 Ib MgO/lb
coal burned. These losses will be replaced by fresh makeup
water and virgin MgO which are both sources of
contaminants.
41
-------
In addition sulfite ion oxidation to soluble MgSO4 will
occur, but there is little information currently available to
predict the effect of long-term buildup of MgSO4 in
continuously operated, closed cycle S02 scrubbers.
Chertkov (17) has measured magnesium sulfate increase
in a packed tower scrubber system. His results, given in
figure 37, show that magnesium sulfate concentration
rapidly increased to about 13%. Beyond this, the rate of
increase fell to a very low level. However, the duration of
the run was only 2.5 days; hence, it is not known if the
oxidation rate will be reduced to zero or what the terminal
magnesium sulfate concentration will be. If the steady state
oxidation rate is not zero, provision must be made for
magnesium sulfate removal. Of course when the MgS04
solubility limit is reached, MgSO4-7H20 will be removed
with MgS03 -6H2O crystals, but this will not occur until the
MgS04 concentration exceeds 33 weight %. It is possible
that enough MgS04 will be occluded in the MgS03 crystals
to prevent this high MgSO4 concentration, but a minimum
steady state concentration of at least 10 to 15 weight %
should be expected. If the temperature of the
MgS03-6H20 slurry is raised to convert the crystals to
MgSO3-3H20, which requires reduced dryer heat, the
occluded MgS04 will be solubilized and returned with
mother liquor to the scrubber system.
The concentration range and input rates of some
expected impurities in commercially available magnesium
oxide are presented in table 7. Impurity input is based on a
500-mw plant using 8.11 x 10'4 Ib of MgO/lb coal burned.
The impurity concentration and input rate from one
source of makeup water is found in table 8. Input rates are

based on a makeup water addition of 0.075 Ib of water/lb
coal burned.
Comparison of table 8 with table 7 shows that, in this
case, makeup water will contribute almost all of the
nonsulfate impurities to the scrubbing system. Because of
this, careful attention should be given to the source and
purity of the makeup water.
If the prevalent impurity input rate to a 500-mw plant is
assumed to be 0.002 g/lb coal burned and impurity
concentration in the scrubbing liquor is not allowed to
exceed, say, 3.0 g/1., scrubbing solution must be removed
and purged at a rate of 4.2 l./min (1.1 gal/min). Some of
these impurities will be lost from the scrubber by entrain-
ment in the offgas, but these losses will be quite small;
therefore, a purge treatment will be necessary. An
important point to consider is that sending a side stream
directly to a deadend pond would be the simplest and
probably least expensive purge treatment. Assuming a
clarified solution with a soluble MgS03 concentration of
1.2% and a MgS04 concentration of 15%, the losses would
be 33.6 Ib of MgO/hr-30.8 Ib as soluble MgS04 and 2.8 Ib
as soluble MgS03.
Magnesium losses could be reduced by concentrating the
mother liquor until MgS04 precipitates. Evaporation
should not be allowed to proceed beyond the point where
undesirable impurities such as NaCl precipitate with the
MgS04. This procedure alone would not remove insoluble
impurities such as silica, ferric oxide, aluminum oxide, and
fly ash. A possible complete treatment would involve
dissolving MgS03-6H20 slurry with a minimum amount of
sulfur dioxide, filtering the insoluble impurities, then
reprecipitating sulfite with makeup MgO. The resultant
crystals would be filtered and returned to the system; the
mother liquor would be evaporated to recovery MgS04 and
the supernatant of soluble impurities discarded.
42
-------
Since almost no data exists at this time on the buildup
of impurities in aqueous scrubbing processes for S02
control, it is difficult to quantify the magnitude of the
problem. Only extended operation of a system will yield
enough information to define a complete impurity control
method.
Nitrogen Oxide Emission Control
The fixation of nitrogen during high temperature
combustion may be represented by the following reaction:
N,+O,
2NO
(37)
Other nitrogen oxides can be formed from NO; however, as
shown in figure 38, at combustion temperatures exceeding
1000° K, only NO is present in significant amounts.
Following ejection of the combustion products to the
atmosphere, however, the formation of other nitrogen
oxides is more likely although the rate of formation may be
rather low. The equilibrium constant for reaction 37 may
be represented by the following expression:

where R is the gas constant and T the absolute temperature.
This expression shows that NO is thermodynamically stable
only at high temperature; figure 39 illustrates the variation
in equilibrium NO concentration with temperature and air
stoichiometry. Figure 40 further emphasizes the sensitivity
of NO concentration to air stoichiometry. Highest NO
concentration occurs at 10-15% excess air even though the
peak flame temperature occurs at only 95% stoichiometric
air, indicating that the availability of oxygen limits the
equilibrium concentration of NO. Typical equilibrium
concentrations of NO and N02 in air and flue gas are found
in table 9 (24).
Residence time at peak flame temperature is usually
insufficient for NO to reach equilibrium concentration;
therefore, the kinetics of NO formation have important
bearing on final NOX concentration in the flue gas. The
reaction mechanism of NO formation is now thought to be
a chain reaction involving oxygen and nitrogen free radicals
(35). The high activation energy for the fixation reaction,
about 135 Kcal/mole (3, 35), is responsible for the extreme
temperature dependence of this reaction.
From the standpoint of NOX emission control the
decomposition rate of NO to nitrogen and oxygen is also
quite important (3). Although NO becomes thermo-
dynamically unstable as the flame temperature decreases,
the decomposition rate becomes so low that below
1260-1320° C the NO concentration becomes fixed (3). As
the flue gas is diffused into the atmosphere the NO may
combine with oxygen to yield NO2.
The type of fuel used in power plants may have a
pronounced effect on NOX emission levels. Based on
adiabatic flame temperature, one may expect that NOX
emission rates will be highest for coal-fired boilers, followed
in descending order by oil and gas. The actual situation is
more complex, of course, because NOX formation will also
depend on heat transfer rates in the boiler and the
chemically bound nitrogen content of the fuel.
Coal and oil are prone to burn with luminous flames
which increase heat transfer and flame quench rates. Gas
usually burns with a blue flame, the emissivity of which is
much lower than the luminous oil and coal flames. Because
the heat transfer rate of such flames is low, the flame is
quenched more slowly. Thus, in large boilers where almost
all heat transfer is by radiation, natural gas fired boilers
may actually produce more NOX than coal or oil fired
boilers. The Southern California Edison Company (1), for
example, reports that, in general, NOX emissions have
increased with unit size, and for units of 480-mw or larger,
NOX emissions are greater for gas fuel than for residual oil.
A second reason that fuel type is important lies in the
fact that coal and oil contain chemically bound nitrogen.
One may expect that oxygen would more easily attack the
more reactive N-N or N-C bonds in fuel molecules than the
N = N bond of molecular nitrogen. Convincing

experimental evidence of this comes from the Argonne
National Laboratory (49). Fluidized bed combustion of
coal occurs at about 900° C, too low for nitrogen fixation
to occur. Yet, workers at Argonne found that in one set of
fluidized bed experiments using air, NO concentration in
the offgas was about 500 ppm. Substitution of inert argon
for nitrogen produced essentially no change in the offgas
NO concentration, thus showing that the source of the NO
was nitrogen chemically bound in the coal.
Crynes and Maddox (24) have divided nitrogen oxide
emission control into three broad categories: fuel treat-
ment, combustion control, and flue gas cleanup. Fuel
treatment to remove chemically bound nitrogen does not,
at present, appear technologically possible.
Because nitrogen oxide concentration is sensitive to
flame temperature and length of time reactants are exposed
to peak flame temperature, some NOX control is possible
through modification of the time temperature profile by
means of boiler and combustion changes. In practice,
modification of existing boilers may be both difficult and
expensive.
Nitrogen oxide production is significantly decreased by
lowering the excess oxygen concentration (1) but,
unfortunately, combustion efficiency is lowered also. This
problem can be circumvented by adding slightly less than
stoichiometric air through the primary air ports with
additional air being added "downstream" to complete
combustion (1, 41). It is claimed that significant reductions
in NO concentration are possible with only moderate
increase in operating costs (1, 2, 41). Decreasing the
enthalpy per unit volume of reactants can lower the peak
combustion temperature and thus the NO formation rate
(2). This may be accomplished by simply reducing com-
bustion air preheat or recirculating product gases and
mixing these with the combustion air. The inert product
gases absorb a fraction of heat of combustion and, in effect,
reduce the peak flame temperature.
A third method of NOX control involves stack gas
cleanup. So far, catalytic decomposition, selective reduc-
tion of NO with ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, or hydrogen,
adsorption on solid supports, and aqueous scrubbing with
alkaline solutions such as Mg(OH)2 or concentrated sulfuric
acid have been considered.
Schmidt et al (74) have described the use of Mg(OH)2
and MgC03 for scrubbing NOX from nitric acid plant
offgas. As was discussed in the previous section, an
adaption of this process has since been suggested for NOX
removal from power plant offgas (27). Figure 41 shows a
flow diagram of the NOX control system.
In the scrubber, magnesium hydroxide or carbonate
slurry absorbs the nitrogen oxides to yield magnesium
nitrite, some magnesium nitrate, and, if sulfur dioxide
removal is not complete, magnesium sulfate. The mag-
nesium nitrite solution is sent to a decomposition tank
where nearly pure NO is liberated at elevated temperature
and pressure, via the reaction:
3Mg(N02)2 + 2.H20
2Mg(OH)2 + 4NO t
Mg(N03)2
(39)
The resulting suspension is treated with ammonia and
carbon dioxide to yield Mg(OH)2 and MgCOs for recycle to

The NO from reaction is air oxidized to N02 and
injected into the flue gas in an amount sufficient to
maximize the N203 concentration.
Any sulfate formed in the scrubber would be removed
from the system as soluble ammonium sulfate in the
ammonium nitrate stream.
Alternately, Downs and Kubasco (27), see figure 8, have
suggested the addition of sufficient slaked lime to the
stream leaving the NOX scrubber to precipitate the sulfate
asCaSO4.
Ca(OH)2+MgS04 ->• CaS04 I + Mg(OH)2 4- (41)
Unless provision is made for recovery, this process
alternate will lead to some magnesium losses, but because
of the paucity of engineering data, no choice can be made
between the alternates at this time.
Because of the unreactivity of NO (relative to N02 or
N203), efficient scrubbing with H2S04 or aqueous alkaline
solutions hinges on the idea of injecting N02 into the flue
gas prior to the absorption step.
In the presence of water vapor, Downs and Kubasco
assume the following gas phase reaction:
NO, ^2HNO,
(42)
Although the equilibria is shifted well toward the left,
favorable kinetics with continuous HN02 removal will drive
the reaction to completion.
In a more recent study (26), using a 1500 cfm spray
type scrubber, Downs evaluated NOX scrubbing efficiency
with MgO as a function of liquid to gas ratio, NO2 to NO
ratio, MgO slurry concentration, stoichiometry, and gas
flow rate. Under all conditions tested, scrubbing efficiency
was less than 10%.
Assuming liquid film resistance to HNO2 transfer is
negligible, the expected HN02 mass transfer rate, Kg3,
should be near 23.0 Ib moles/hr-ft3 and the NOX absorp-
tion efficiency about 33%. Since the observed absorption
efficiency and corresponding Kg3 are much lower, Downs
concludes that liquid film resistance to HN02 absorption is
significant.
The minimum NOX absorption efficiency necessary to
produce a self-sustained supply of NOX is 75%. To achieve
even this modest efficiency, the Kg3 must exceed 72
moles/hr-ft3 Because this mass transfer rate is nearly 1 00
times the observed Kga, Downs concludes that it is not
&
physically possible to design a spray type scrubber which
will increase the nitrous acid mass transfer coefficient this
much. Thus, a system such as MgO that is liquid-film
mass-transfer or chemical-reaction-rate limiting will not
perform.
If MgO dissolution is the rate limiting step, then it is
possible that the nitrous acid mass transfer coefficient
might be increased to the necessary 72 Ib moles/hr-ft3 by
using a soluble basic absorbent such as Na2C03 instead.
Downs feels that for soluble salts such as sodium carbonate,
a packed tower has the best chance of success.
Recovery As Sulfur
Although process schemes evaluated in this study call for
the conversion of flue gas sulfur oxides to sulfuric acid,
there are advantages in recovering the sulfur values as
elemental sulfur. These advantages include lower shipping
costs (per mole of sulfur) and fewer storage problems.
There are at least two possible routes to elemental sulfur:
1. Catalytic reduction of a stream rich in sulfur dioxide
to elemental sulfur by addition of carbon, natural gas, or
carbon monoxide.
2. Production of hydrogen sulfide in the calciner with
subsequent conversion of the H2S to elemental sulfur.
The first route, reduction of sulfur dioxide to elemental
sulfur, is now in operation in at least two plants (36, 99).
One process (36) uses the hot reducing gases from partial
combustion of Bunker C fuel oil to reduce S02 to
elemental sulfur. In a process developed by Allied Chemical
(99), methane gas is used to reduce SO2 to elemental
sulfur. The Allied Chemical process is described in more
detail below. These systems are quaternary, containing
carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and hydrogen. Alternately, it is
possible to reduce S02 with carbon or carbon monoxide, in
which case the system would be ternary.
Kellogg (52), who has developed the principal features
of both systems from thermochemical calculations, demon-
strates that critical control problems occur in attaining the
maximum sulfur recovery in any process which reduces
S02 with carbon, hydrocarbons, or carbon monoxide.
For example, in the ternary oxygen-carbon-sulfur
system, starting with a pure S02 stream and carbon as
reducing agent, the elemental sulfur concentration reaches a
maximum at a carbon to oxygen atom ratio of 0.5, but as
shown in figure 42, potential sulfur recovery sharply
decreases at either side of this optimum ratio. Thus, below
C/0 ratio 0.5, both S02 and S20 partial pressures rapidly
increase with decreasing C/0 ratio while above a ratio 0.5,
COS and CS2 increase. A possible method of achieving the
optimum ratio, Kellogg suggests, would be to add excess
carbon at elevated temperature, then bleed in the required
amount of S02 to achieve C/0 ratio 0.5 for maximum
sulfur recovery.

Potential sulfur recovery also increases with decreasing
temperature. Again starting with carbon and a pure S02
stream, figure 43 shows that about 99.8% of the sulfur is
elemental (.02% combined) at 625° K, the remainder being
predominantly COS and S02. Achieving practical reaction
rates at this low temperature requires an activated alumina
catalyst. The dew point of sulfur under optimum experi-
mental conditions is 597° K and, therefore, the reaction
temperature must remain above this temperature to prevent
condensing sulfur from fouling the catalyst.
At 625° K, the reaction between carbon and SO2 is far
too slow to be practical; thus, elevated temperature,
perhaps as high as 1200° K, may be necessary for rapid
reaction. At higher temperature, the undesirable products,
COS, CS2, and H2S predominate, and the reaction mixture

must be cooled to optimum temperature of 625° K and
allowed to equilibrate before condensing the sulfur.
Using carbon monoxide as the reductant, optimum
sulfur recovery also occurs at a C/O ratio of 0.5, but
because the product gas is leaner in sulfur, condensation
may be more difficult. This problem may be offset by the
fact that carbon monoxide reacts with sulfur dioxide much
faster than does solid carbon and, thus, a lower initial
reaction temperature can be used.
Methane is an alternate but less effective reductant than
carbon or carbon monoxide. Kellogg shows that, at 600° K,
88.5% of the sulfur, at most, can be recovered as elemental
sulfur in one pass through the reaction chamber. Recovery
as high as 95% is possible by taking the offgas from the first
condensation through a second condensation at lower
temperature. The lower temperature of the second con-
densation will not condense liquid sulfur because the dew
point has been sharply altered by the first condensation. To
47
-------
achieve optimum sulfur recovery, the [C + H] /O atom ratio
must be 1.25. As before, small departures from this ratio
sharply reduce the yield of elemental sulfur.
Finally, any inert gas in the system, such as nitrogen, in
effect lowers the partial pressure of gaseous sulfur and
makes condensation less efficient. For maximum sulfur
recovery, inert gas should be avoided.
A possible alternate sulfur recovery process might
include hydrogen sulfide production directly in the calciner
followed by conversion of the H2S to elemental sulfur.
Based on thermochemical calculations, Sillen and
Andersson (81) have shown that H2S production in the
calciner should be possible under reducing conditions.
However, their calculations did not include the possible gas
phase species COS and CS2. In an oxidizing atmosphere,
such omissions should not be critical since these species
would not be present. In a reducing atmosphere, one can
envision significant amounts of COS, CS2, or elemental
sulfur, and for this reason, the equilibrium gas phase
composition of the quaternary system, C-O-S-H, was
reexaminedat 1200°K.
The gas phase constituents considered in the calculation
were S2, S02, S03, 02, H2S, H20, H2, C02, CO, COS,
and CS2. Because the partial pressure of the sulfur
polymers S3 through S8 is thought to be negligible (34),
these were not considered in the analysis. The following
seven equilibria were used to express the relationship
between the eleven gas phase species.

The eleven partial pressures which appear in the equilibria
are determined by simultaneous solution of eleven
equations: seven equilibrium constant equations, three equa-
tions which specify the system composition, and a final
equation relating the total pressure to the sum of the partial
pressures. The latter four equations.are shown below; Pj,

All thermochemical data required in the calculation were
taken from the JANAF tables (46). Ideal gas behavior was
assumed at one atmosphere, but if an inert gas such as
nitrogen were present, the total pressure of the system
would be correspondingly lower.
A box central composite design was used to cover the
region of interest, which was C/S ratio 1.0 to 3.0, H/S ratio
1.0 to 3.0, and S/0 ratio 4.0 to 6.0-fifteen data points in
all.
An iterative method similar to Kellogg's was used with a
digital computer to solve the eleven simultaneous equations
at each of the fifteen points. The method consists of
substituting starting value partial pressures of four repre-
sentative species containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
sulfur into the equilibria expressions to give values of the
remaining seven partial pressures. The set of eleven partial
pressures is substituted into the total pressure and ratio
equations to yield interim values of P-j and the three mole
ratios. The differences between the interim values and the
desired values are computed and compared with the
convergence criteria (0.02% of the desired value). If any
one of the differences is greater than the convergence
criteria, four new starting values of C02, H2, H20, and
H2S are computed and the process repeated. The iteration
procedure continues until either the convergence criteria is
satisfied or to a preset number of iterations if the partial
pressure values do not converge. New starting values are
computed from the following equations:

analysis the polynomial shown below-, which represents
hydrogen sulfide partial pressure as a function of system
composition.
(58)
where X l = C/S, X2 = H/S, and X3 = 0/S. The correlation
coefficient was 0.9845, indicating that the data were well
represented by the equation.
In a complicated system such as this, there is sometimes
difficulty in analyzing and simplifying the large amount of
partial pressure data. By using a method of constrained
nonlinear programming (37), it was possible to determine
that the gas phase composition which maximized the H2S
partial pressure within the region of experimentation was
C/S = 3.0, H/S = 3.0, and 0/S = 4.0. The gas composition
under these conditions at total pressures of 1.0 or 0.5
atmospheres is shown in table 10.
With a total pressure of combustion products of either
0.5 or 1.0 atm, approximately 80 mole % of the sulfur is
present as H2S with carbonyl sulfide and elemental sulfur
comprising the remainder. The gas composition of 0.5 atm
would correspond to a sweep gas of half inert nitrogen, half
combustion products.
As presently conceived, the magnesium sulfite calciner
will be swept at about 1200° K with the hot gases from
combustion of a number 6 fuel oil with air. The sweep gas
will contain almost 60% nitrogen and have C/S, H/S, and
0/S ratios of 0.73, 1.50, and 4.31, respectively.
By modification of the combustion conditions and
addition of enough coke to the calciner to approach
optimum conditions, a gas stream containing about 80 mole
% of the sulfur as H2S will be obtained. Cooling this stream
and blending S02 into it to yield the optimum (C + H)/0
ratio will maximize the sulfur content of the stream.
With the multiple condensation suggested by Kellogg,
95% sulfur recovery is possible when no inert gases are
present in the gas stream. The presence of nearly 60%
nitrogen in the stream presents an obstacle to efficient
sulfur recovery, but if the fuel oil were burned with pure
oxygen, this difficulty would be removed.
Alternately, a series of sulfur condensations at
successively lower temperature will make it possible to
efficiently recover elemental sulfur. Allied Chemical (99)
has developed such a system at its Falconbridge facility in
Ontario, Canada. The plant is designed to treat 500 tons per
day sulfur contained in a roaster gas of composition (dry
basis) 12-13% sulfur and 1-1.5% oxygen and remove 90% or
more of the inlet sulfur.
The system consists of three sections: a gas purification
system and a high temperature reactor followed by a low
temperature Claus reactor system.
Particulate matter and catalyst poisons are wet scrubbed
from the roaster offgas and the sulfur dioxide is catalyti-
cally reduced with methane in the high temperature reactor
to elementary sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, and lesser amounts
of other sulfur compounds. The elemental sulfur is con-
densed out of the gas and the remaining sulfur compounds
sent to a two-stage Claus converted for further sulfur
recovery. Additional sulfur condensation occurs after the
Claus system.
Methane gas was chosen as reducing agent because of
availability and economics, but other reductants such as
carbon monoxide or hydrogen could also be used.

STUDY ASSUMPTIONS AND DESIGN CRITERIA
The magnesia slurry process and three proposed variations
are given detailed consideration in the present study.
Although other products are possible, each scheme is
designed to produce 98% sulfuric acid.
Scheme A, magnesia slurry process—Wet scrubbing of
stack gas with an aqueous magnesium oxide-sulfite slurry to
absorb S02 and form additional crystalline MgS03-6H20.
The MgS03-6H20 is thermally converted to MgS03-3H20
which is dried to form anhydrous MgS03. This material,
along with 5-10% MgS04 formed by oxidation, is calcined
to generate MgO for recycle to the scrubbers andS02-rich
gas for production of sulfuric acid by the contact process.
Coke is used to reduce the sulfate to SO2 and MgO. This
scheme follows closely the development work of
Chemico-Basic, B & W, the Russians, and the Japanese.
Scheme B, MgO-MnO2 slurry variation— Wet scrubbing
of stack gas in a cocurrent spray device to absorb S02 with
an aqueous magnesium oxide-sulfite slurry containing an
activator, manganese oxide. The crystalline MgS03-6H20
formed is thermally converted to MgS03-3H20; the
resulting crystals are dried to anhydrous MgS03, MgSO4,
and compounds of manganese. These materials are calcined
to generate Mg6Mn08 for recycle to the scrubbers and
SO2-rich gas for production of sulfuric acid by the contact
process. This scheme is an adaptation of the Grillo-Werke
development with modifications.
Scheme C, clear liquor variation— Wet scrubbing of stack
gas to remove particulates and absorb S02 with an acidic
solution of magnesium bisulfite and magnesium sulfite,
followed by separation of insoluble fly ash and liquor, and
addition of MgO to the liquor to precipitate crystalline
MgS03-6H20. The MgS03-6H20 is thermally converted to
MgS03-3H2O which is dried to form anhydrous MgS03.
The drier product including MgS03 and 5-10% MgS04 is
calcined with coke to yield MgO for recycle to the reactor
and scrubbers and generate S02 rich gas for production of
sulfuric acid by the contact process. This scheme follows
closely the development work of Chemico-Basic. Although
available design data were based on a venturi type scrubber,
other designs using slightly different operating conditions
should be feasible.
Scheme D, central processing concept—On-site wet
scrubbing of stack gas with magnesia slurry to absorb S02
and form crystalline MgS03-6H20 followed by thermal
conversion to MgS03 -3H20 as in Scheme A. The trihydrate
crystals are dried on site to produce anhydrous MgSO3 ,
which is shipped to an off-site central processing unit
capable of calcining MgS03 from several source locations.
Recycle MgO is shipped back to each scrubber location and
the S02-rich calciner offgas is converted to sulfuric acid in
a more economically sized contact plant. By avoiding
dependency on a single source of magnesium sulfite, this
process variation of Scheme A permits more efficient design
and operation of the calcination and acid manufacturing
steps as compared to an on-site system subject to the cyclic
nature of power plant operation to meet electrical demand.
Schemes A, B, and D can be applied to either coal- or
oil-fired units, however, coal-fired units require particulate
removal in a separate step prior to absorption of S02 .
Scheme C, an alternative in which sulfites are kept in
solution to permit removal of particulates and SO2 simul-
taneously in a single scrubber, is applicable only to
coal-fired; since little fly ash is emitted from oil-fired units,
the more effective slurry schemes can be used.
Fuels
In the previous conceptual design studies, primary attention
was given to control of S02 from coal-fired power units,
coal being the predominant fossil fuel utilized in U. S.
plants and producing the largest quantity of emitted S02.
With only minor differences, the earlier conceptual designs
were applicable to both coal- and oil fired units. However,
in the present study, there are more distinct and important
differences between control systems for power units
burning coal or oil; therefore, coverage will be expanded to
give both fuels complete attention.
Previous conceptual design reports considered the
burning of coal with sulfur contents of 2.0, 3.5, and 5.0%.
These sulfur levels were selected to evaluate the economics
of sulfur dioxide removal from power plant stack gas over
the range of sulfur levels of coal reported in the literature
(94), and will be used again in the current report. As
before, the coal is assumed to contain 12% ash and have a
total heating value of 12,000 Btu/lb. Although coals having
higher ash content and lower heating value are becoming
more predominant, these values are still representative of
coal mined in the midwestern U. S.
A survey to obtain representative fuel oil characteristics
indicated that compositions of fuel oil, like coal, vary

Flue Gas Composition
To serve as a basis for flowsheet calculations, it is desirable
to define distinct flue gas compositions for both coal- and
oil-fired systems. Although NOX removal by the magnesia
process is not well enough defined to justify detailed
treatment in this report, flue gas compositions will include
an NOX concentration. In doing so, it is necessary to give
NOX special consideration since its concentration, unlike
S02, depends primarily on boiler design, excess air, and
flame temperature, rather than fuel characteristics.
Available literature sources indicate that for various
types of coal-fired boilers NOX concentrations range from
about 200 to 1200 ppm by volume (5, 25), whereas,
concentrations for similar type oil-fired boilers range from
about 100 to 900 ppm (3, 4). Since the concentrations vary
over a wide range, compositions of flue gas are estimated
for two of the more common boiler types for both coal-
and oil-fired units. Pulverized coal (horizontal, frontal-
fired) and cyclone-fired boilers were considered for the
coal-fired units, whereas, tangential-fired, and horizontal,
frontal-fired boilers were considered for the oil-fired units.
The concentrations of NOX in the flue gas from these type
boilers are included in the estimated flue gas compositions
presented later.
As in the previous conceptual design reports, flue gas
compositions for coal firing are based on combustion with
20% excess air to the boiler, and 13% additional air
inleakage at the air preheater. These values reflect operating
experience with TVA frontal-fired, coal-burning units. For
oil-fired units, flue gas compositions were estimated
assuming 5% excess air to the boiler with an estimated 10%
air inleakage at the air preheater. Reflecting coal-fired
boiler operating experience, it was assumed that 75% of the
ash present in coal is emitted as fly ash from pulverized coal
(horizontal, frontal-fired) boilers, whereas only 25% of the
ash is emitted from cyclone-fired boilers. For the oil-fired
units, it was assumed that all of the ash in the fuel oil is
emitted. The complete flue gas analyses covering both fuels
are given in tables 11 and 12.
Emission Standards
The EPA has established emission standards for new steam
generating facilities as shown in table 13 (29).
In this report, process and equipment designs will meet
the standards for particulate and S02 emission. As
indicated earlier, the magnesia process does not appear to
be capable of reducing NOX emission more than 10% at
best and should not be relied upon for meeting NOX
emission standards. A more successful approach might be
accomplished by modifying the boiler firing system.
Furthermore, some commercial boilers currently available
are capable of meeting NOX emission standards.
Plant Location
Sulfuric acid is one of the world's most widely used
industrial chemicals. Although it is consumed in large
quantities in many industrial applications, the largest end
use is for the production of phosphate fertilizers. In the U.
S., the Midwest is the area of greatest fertilizer usage and
for purposes of this study, it has been assumed that the
power unit is located in this section of the country. In
addition, location on a navigable river is desirable since it
may be possible to ship large quantities of sulfuric acid by
barge to fertilizer plants not located in the immediate
vicinity of the power plant.
For evaluation of the central processing concept
(Scheme D), metropolitan areas of Chicago, Illinois, and
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are arbitrarily chosen as loca-
tions for recovery systems since this concept appears
practical only for locations having many sources of sulfur
dioxide emissions. Shipping costs in these areas will be used
in the economic evaluation of Scheme D.
Plant Size and Status
The size of fossil-fueled power plants currently being built
ranges up to 1300-mw. At this time, the largest operating
unit is a 1130-mw TVA boiler; however, several other units
as large as 1300-mw are expected onstream in the next few
years (30). Although a considerable portion of the future
generating capacity will be from power units 500-mw or
larger, 200-mw and smaller units will continue to be
utilized. It is expected that the majority of the older and
smaller units will be operated as peaking stations; however,
some new 200-300-mw units may be used for base loads.
To determine the effect of power plant size on the
economics of sulfur dioxide recovery, three unit sizes, 200,
500, and 1000-mw, are given detailed attention in the
conceptual design. In addition, both new and existing units
are studied since they usually have differences in input heat
requirements, remaining years of operating, and installation
expense (new vs retrofit) for particulate and S02 removal
devices. Representative heat rates used in this study are
shown in table 14. These rates are assumed to be applicable
for either coal- or oil-fired units.

Plant Life, Operating Time, and Capacity Factor
Based on power plant evaluation guidelines suggested by
the Federal Power Commission (31), the expected
operating life of a new fossil-fueled power unit is about 30
years. Historically, the highest operating rates (onstream
time) occur during the first 10 years of operation and
decline thereafter. Reflecting TVA experience (83), table
15 shows the power plant operating schedule assumed in
this study. This schedule is equivalent to a chemical plant
operating at 8000 hr/yr for 16 years.
Since existing power units can be expected to have less
remaining years of operation at high capacity factors,
power plant age is also an important parameter. In this
study, existing 200-mw units are assumed to have
22 years remaining life (8 years old) and 500-mw
and 1000-mw units are assumed to have 27 years
remaining life (3 years old). In each case, the first

few years of operation at a high capacity factor are
assumed lost.
When considering sulfur dioxide control processes for
power plants, both the tendency of units to decline in
utilization over their operating life and the intermittent
operation on a daily basis due to electrical demand
variation should be recognized. For recovery processes in
particular, the associated large investment requirements and
market commitments usually make it desirable to operate
the recovery system at a high capacity factor to minimize
the effect of the continuing fixed capital charges on unit
production costs.
Maintaining a high capacity factor may not be possible
where a single facility is involved (as in Schemes A, B, and
C); however, by utilizing the central processing concept
(Scheme D), the effect of fluctuations in power plant load
and operation can be minimized for the regeneration and
sulfuric acid systems. Using feed material from several
independent sources, this unit can operate on a more
uniform schedule similar to that of most chemical plants,
say, 8,000 hr/yr. For purposes of this report, it is assumed
that the operating life of the central processing unit is 10
years. If shipping costs are not excessive, such a system
should be more economical than units tied to a single
power plant boiler.
Flue Gas and Sulfur Dioxide Rates
The parameters which determine the amounts of flue gas
and sulfur oxides emitted from coal- and oil-fired power
units have been discussed. Since design of sulfur dioxide
recovery units is dependent upon actual quantities of gas
and S02 as well as gas compositions indicated earlier,
calculated flue gas and equivalent sulfur dioxide emission
rates as both S02 and sulfuric acid are tabulated in table
16. Volumetric flue gas rates to the scrubbing system are
based on a gas temperature of 310° F at the exit of the air
preheater.
Degree of Sulfur Dioxide Removal
From the analyses of fuels and Federal emission standards
presented earlier, it can be seen that required S02 removal
efficiencies vary depending on the sulfur content and type
of fuel. The required removal efficiencies are tabulated in
table 17 for the various fuels and sulfur levels considered in
this study.
Before emission standards were defined, previous con-
ceptual designs arbitrarily provided for 90% removal of
sulfur dioxide from the stack gas. Since test data show that
three of the four magnesia scrubbing schemes are capable of
achieving this degree of sulfur dioxide removal, a 90%
removal efficiency also is provided for these systems so that
comparisons with previously studied processes can be made.
Indications are that the fourth scheme, the clear liquor
process, may be capable of only 70-85% S02 removal;
therefore, only design provisions necessary to meet the
emission standard will be provided.
Stack Gas Reheat
The need for stack gas reheat for plume buoyancy has been
recognized, but the degree of reheat required has not been
well established. The effect of temperature on plume
buoyancy and ground-level concentration of stack gas
constituents was studied in detail for the limestone-wet
scrubbing conceptual design (89). The results indicated that
with a high degree of sulfur dioxide removal (80% or
above), the stack gas temperature is not critical. However,
to prevent high ground-level concentrations during adverse
atmospheric conditions, reheat from 125 to 175° F is
provided in this conceptual design.
In the magnesia process, some reheat is obtained from
dryer offgas and exhaust fan compression, but additional
heat is needed to reach 175° F at the stack exit. For new
coal-fired power units, indirect steam reheat is provided
since new units can be designed to supply steam to the

Combustion of pulverized coal containing 12% ash in a
frontal-fired boiler results in a dust emission of 7.5
Ib/million Btu (~4 grains/acf) at the boiler exhaust; with a
cyclone boiler, the fly ash content is about one third this
amount. Combustion of fuel oil containing 0.1% ash
produces a dust emission of 0.054 Ib/million Btu (0.04
grain/cu ft). A comparison of these dust loadings with the
emission standards given earlier indicates the need to
remove a minimum of 98.6% of the dust emitted frorn coal,
frontal-fired boilers to meet Federal emission standards,
whereas no additional facilities are required for oil-fired
units unless dictated by local law.
Because of the regenerative and cyclic nature of MgO
scrubbing processes, it is necessary to minimize the amount
of contaminants which are introduced into the sulfur
dioxide scrubbing loop. Since high dust removal efficiencies
are desirable to prevent possible contaminant buildup, the
processes are designed to attain at least 99% dust removal.
The most common types of equipment for controlling
particulate emissions are mechanical collectors, fabric
filters, eletrostatic precipitators, and wet scrubbers; how-
ever, mechanical collectors are not capable of attaining high
removal efficiencies, and fabric filters are generally too
expensive for use in handling large volumes of flue gas.
Presently, electrostatic precipitators are the most widely
54
-------
accepted type of equipment for control of fly ash in
modern power plants, but experience has shown these units
to be expensive to install and maintain and occasionally
unreliable for attaining high removal efficiencies over long
periods of time. Wet scrubbing of flue gas has the
disadvantage of lowering the temperature and buoyancy of
the gas by humidification. Since the MgO schemes control
SO 2 emission by wet scrubbing, provisions for reheat are
required regardless of the method used for dust removal;
thus, wet scrubbing is the logical method for removing dust
in these schemes.
Many existing coal-fired power units already have
electrostatic precipitators in operation, but some are not
capable of attaining the desired removal efficiency.
Arbitrarily, it will be assumed that these precipitators will
be kept in operation. However, due to the need for
maximum dust removal discussed above, existing coal-fired
units will also be equipped with particulate scrubbers
capable of attaining dust removal efficiencies of 99%.
Amount of Storage
The amount of storage which should be provided for a
product depends largely upon its consumption rate for each
end use. Since sulfuric acid is an intermediate product
which usually undergoes further processing, the largest
storage burden is often passed on to the industrial
consumer rather than the producer. However, to provide
for large consumer and cyclic markets such as the phos-
phate fertilizer industry, storage requirements of 30 days or
more are not uncommon. In this study, 30 days storage is
provided, with facilities included for up to three product
acid concentrations. In addition, 4 weeks storage is
included for fresh makeup MgO and coke. A minimum
period of 1 day is provided for in-process storage of MgSO3
and recycle MgO to give some flexibility of operation. For
the central processing concept (Scheme D), MgSO3 and
recycle MgO storage is increased to 3 days to cover possible
transportation delays.
Base Case
The base case chosen for Schemes A, C, and D of the
magnesia scrubbing conceptual design is a new 500-mw
power unit with a horizontal, frontal-fired boiler utilizing
coal containing 3.5% sulfur. The base case chosen for
Scheme B, the MgO-Mn02 variation, is a new 500-mw
power unit with a horizontal, frontal-fired boiler utilizing
fuel oil containing 2.5% sulfur. Although several cases for
both coal- and oil-fired units are evaluated in this report,
flowsheets are presented for the base cases only, since most
of the detailed design and cost data were obtained for these
systems, and a major effort would be required to present
separate flowsheets for each case.
Process Flowsheets
Process flowsheets and material balance tables representing
base case conditions for each scheme are shown in
Appendix B and are designated as follows:

Solid Waste Disposal
Fly ash collected in the particulate scrubbers of coal-fired
power plants is pumped as an 8 to 20% solids slurry to a fly
ash storage pond. In this study it is assumed that the ash is
allowed to settle and clarified water is recycled back to the
particulate scrubbers to minimize the consumption of fresh
water and to reduce contamination of nearby streams. A
power plant to pond distance of 1 mile is assumed for cost
estimates. Although not required in all cases, costs for ash
neutralization facilities are included in the investment, and
slaked lime is provided for neutralization of S03 absorbed
in the particulate scrubbers.
Insoluble contaminants removed from the S02 scrubber
system by purge treatment are disposed in the ash pond.
Concentrated soluble contaminants from the system are
pumped to an evaporative pond for direct disposal, with no
return of water.
Miscellaneous
The increased pressure drop of flue gas due to operation of
wet scrubbers requires that higher energy fans be provided.
For new power units, a single fan capable of overcoming
the pressure drop incurred in both the boiler and scrubbing
equipment is included for each duct. The investment cost
assigned to the scrubbing area is assumed to equal the
incremental cost between a new fan to handle the total
pressure drop and one to handle the pressure drop of the
power unit alone. For existing units, the investment cost of
new fans to handle the pressure drop of the scrubbing
system alone is provided. The operating cost for these fans
is divided between the power plant and the recovery unit
according to the pressure drop incurred in each area.
An optional bypass duct is provided for each scheme to
allow for continued operation of the power plant during
unscheduled shutdown of the scrubbing system. The

EQUIPMENT SELECTION AND DESCRIPTION
The facilities required for scrubbing stack gas with magnesia
slurry and regeneration of the absorbent can be divided into
the following major equipment categories:
1. Particulate control
2. Sulfur dioxide absorption and stack gas reheat
3. Slurry or solution processing
4. Sulfite drying-calcining
5. Magnesia slurry preparation
6. Sulfuric acid production
7. Sulfuric acid storage
8. Fuel oil storage
9. Optional bypass duct
Prior to description of specific equipment items for each
category, several alternatives are considered with emphasis
on both performance and cost. A discussion of the major
alternatives for the magnesia schemes along with available
data, curves, and design information follows.
Scrubbing Alternatives
Particulate control— Combustion of pulverized coal con-
taining ash results in the release of much of the ash as fine
dust particles that escape, at least partially, with the
combustion gas. Although the composition of the ash varies
widely from source to source, a typical ash composition of
a western Kentucky coal is indicated in table 18 (84).
As discussed earlier, the portion of ash present in the
coal which eventually is emitted depends upon the type of
boiler: a pulverized coal (horizontal, frontal-fired) boiler
typically emits about 75% of the ash present in the coal as
fly ash, as compared to approximately 25% for cyclone-
fired boilers. Although the particle size distribution of fly
ash is likely to vary considerably, a sample distribution is
shown in table 19 (87).
As mentioned earlier, wet scrubbing was selected as the
method for controlling particulate emission in the magnesia
schemes. Of the various types of wet scrubbers available, a
venturi was chosen for control of particulates since it is
generally considered to be the least costly device capable of
attaining the high dust removal efficiencies desired. The
Babcock and Wilcox Company has reported specific data
for removal of fly ash from the combustion gases of a
pilot-size, coal-fired boiler using a venturi scrubber (27).
This data, presented in figure 44, shows a relationship
between pressure drop and fly ash collection efficiency at
an L/G of 15 gal/Macf and is used in this report.
Several methods of fly ash disposal, including trucking
to off-site locations and on-site ponding, are used in the
industry. For the magnesia cases studied, only the on-site
ponding technique is considered. Off-site disposal would be
more expensive for large power units; however, this may
not be true for small units.
In the on-site ash disposal system, effluent from the
particulate scrubbers is received in a surge tank designed for
partial clarification of the recycle stream. A thickened
underflow containing about 8-20% fly ash is pumped to an
on-site fly ash disposal pond, and a return line and pumps
are provided for recycle of clarified pond water to the
particulate scrubbers. The distance from the scrubbers to
the pond is assumed to be 1 mile.

In many cases, the effluent from the fly ash scrubber is
acidic with initial pH determined partially by the amount
of sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide absorbed in the
particulate scrubber. The composition and amount of fly
ash collected in the particulate scrubber also affects the pH
of the scrubber effluent; however, slow response times are
normally encountered because fly ash is relatively insoluble
and the final pH is not quickly attained. Although the
composition of fly ash is likely to vary for different coal
sources, operating experience in the TVA system indicates
that a basic pond water is normally encountered when dry
collected fly ash is sluiced with water. Since little experi-
ence is available to indicate the final pH which would result
from prolonged contact of an acidic scrubber effluent with
a basic fly ash, slaked lime addition facilities can be
included in the fly ash disposal circuit for neutralizing all
sulfur oxides absorbed in the particulate scrubber. This
measure may not be necessary for all applications; however,
it provides insurance agairtst possible leakage of acidic pond
water into other streams.
Sulfur dioxide absorption and stack gas reheat—The
absorber types considered for stack gas magnesia scrubbing
processes include packed, tray, mobile bed, venturi, and
spray devices. Packed and tray scrubbers are the most
common absorbers used in the chemical industry; how ever,
they are not often used for slurry service due to their
tendency to plug. Based on discussions with vendors of
these devices, it is recommended that they not be used in
Schemes A, B, and D which utilize slurries and are expected
to have a tendency to form scale deposits. For the clear
liquor process which requires simultaneous particulate and
S02 removal, these scrubber types are suitable for the
sulfur dioxide absorption; however, they are generally not
effective for attaining high dust removal efficiencies, and
their use in magnesia scrubbing is questionable.
The mobile bed, venturi, and spray absorbers are capable
of operating with either clear liquor or slurry absorbents
and can be considered for all four magnesia process
schemes. Scaling is less a problem for mobile bed absorbers
because the turbulent action of the internal bouncing balls
minimizes accumulation. Also, scaling is usually not a
problem for venturi absorbers because high gas velocities
and simple internal design inhibit scale formation. Because
of the high gas velocities, however, venturi absorbers
generally consume more energy from the gas and result in
higher operating pressure drops than other type absorbers.
Spray absorbers usually operate with greater residence time
and lower pressure drop than venturi absorbers by utilizing
gas velocities similar to packed, tray, or mobile bed
absorbers. However, they do not contain internal packing,
and absorption efficiencies are generally lower than for the
above type absorbers. Scaling can be minimized in spray
scrubbers by designing for high liquid to gas ratio which
reduces the effect of solids formation; the flushing action
of high irrigation rates tends to prevent accumulation of
deposits. In the spray scrubber application developed by
Grillo for MgO-Mn02 scrubbing (Scheme B), a high gas
velocity is utilized (49 ft/sec), but the added manganese
dioxide is said to promote the rapid absorption necessary to
achieve good efficiency.
The absorption of sulfur dioxide from power plant stack
gas by magnesia scrubbing has been evaluated by the
Babcock and Wilcox Company for both mobile bed and
venturi absorbers and by Chemico Basic for the venturi
type. It is understood that the spray absorber is the only
device Grillo has tested using the MgO-Mn02 slurry
concept.
The conceptual designs of the magnesia schemes are
based on the relationships which follow.
The effect of liquid to gas irrigation ratio on sulfur
dioxide absorption efficiency for slurry scrubbing with a
mobile bed absorber is shown in figure 45 (27). A similar
relationship for slurry scrubbing using a venturi absorber
(12) is shown in figure 46. The data indicate that sulfur
dioxide removal efficiency increases with an increase in
L/G. Both absorber types are capable of attaining sulfur
dioxide absorption efficiencies of 90% or greater; however,
a venturi absorber requires a higher operating L/G to

achieve the same absorption efficiency as that of a mobile
bed absorber.
The effect of liquid to gas irrigation ratio on sulfur
dioxide absorption efficiency for spray scrubbing using the
MgO-Mn02 slurry variation is shown in figure 47 (61).
These results indicate that the spray scrubber is capable of
achieving high sulfur dioxide absorption efficiencies at
relatively low values of L/G for this process.
A linear relationship exists between pressure drop and
L/G for slurry scrubbing with a mobile bed absorber as
indicated in figure 48 (27). The effect of pressure drop on
S02 absorption efficiency for slurry scrubbing with a
venturi (27) is indicated in figure 49. Although the
correlation is based on a minimum amount of data at
elevated pressure drops, it is in close agreement with similar
data obtained by Chemico-Basic during slurry scrubbing
tests at the Canal Electric Company (12).
Since pH is a function of the scrubbing liquor com-
position, the effect of pH on absorption efficiency is an
important parameter, as indicated in figure 50 (27), for
slurry scrubbing using a mobile bed absorber operating at
various pressure drops. The data indicate that increased
absorption efficiencies are obtained with either increased
pressure drop or higher pH. A similar relationship for a
venturi absorber is shown in figure 51 (27). The solid curve
represents actual data for a venturi absorber operating at a
pressure drop of 1.5 in. of water. Since data were not given
for absorption efficiencies at higher pressure drops, the
dashed curve is projected based on data for venturi
absorbers operating at higher pressure drops as indicated in
figures 46 and 49.
The effect of pH on sulfur dioxide absorption efficiency
for spray absorption using the MgO-Mn02 slurry scheme is
shown in figure 52 (40).
Best operation for this process variation is reported to be
at pH values ranging from 6.0 to 7.5.
Clear liquor scrubbing processes can be designed to
operate either at a low pH (5.0-6.0) with moderate
concentrations of soluble magnesium bisulfite-sulfite
absorbent in the liquor or a higher pH (6.5-7.5) with low
concentrations of soluble absorbent. The main disadvantage
of the low pH method is the high solution vapor pressures
of S02 which restrict achievable absorption efficiencies.
For higher pH values near 7.0, control is difficult, especially
in restricting scale deposition from solids formation. The
very low solubility of absorbent with basic pH values

on the clear liquor scheme has been limited, unpublished
data provided by Chemico-Basic for absorption of S02
from pulverized coal combustion gas using a venturi
scrubber indicates the efficiency attainable. The data,
tabulated in table 20, were obtained for operation of the
venturi at pressure drops ranging from 12.5 to 15.0 in. of
water and at an L/G of approximately 20 gal/Macf.
The effect of other parameters on sulfur dioxide
absorption efficiencies by magnesia slurry scrubbing which
were determined in the EPA-Babcock and Wilcox pilot
program are discussed below.
1. Absorption increases with increasing MgO to S02
stoichiometric ratio to a molar ratio of 1.0. Above this
value absorption does not increase significantly.
2. The presence of fly ash in the gas to the sulfur
dioxide absorber does not affect sulfur dioxide absorption
levels.
3. The presence of high concentrations of dissolved
magnesium sulfate reduces sulfur dioxide absorption in the
low pH range. At higher pH, sulfur dioxide absorption is
not affected.
4. Conversion of magnesium oxide to the hydroxide
before injection into the absorber does not improve sulfur
dioxide absorption.
5. Increasing the total liquid holdup time including the
time in the sump does not improve sulfur dioxide
absorption.
Because of the lack of pilot plant data to verify
absorption capabilities, spray scrubbers were not selected
for Schemes A, C, or D. By the same reasoning, venturi and
mobile bed absorbers were not utilized as the scrubber type
for Scheme B. Before considering these alternate scrubber
choices, operation of a spray scrubber without Mn02
activator should be tested as well as operation of venturi or
mobile bed absorbers with MnO2 addition, since variations
are likely.
Mobile bed absorbers appear to be more effective than
venturi absorbers for absorption of S02 in magnesia
slurry, but both types appear capable of reducing S02 to an
acceptable level. Therefore, costs and actual performance
over extended periods become the primary considerations
for selection. In discussions with vendors, it was determined
that several different designs and materials of construction

are being considered, but that predicted total costs (invest-
ment and operating) for complete systems of either venturi
or mobile bed scrubbers are very close. Selection for an
actual installation should be based on the latest cost
quotations and performance results to determine which
absorber is more attractive. For purposes of this report, the
design parameters required for both types of scrubbers will
be given with the equipment descriptions to follow and the
flowsheets in Appendix B will reflect the ranges of liquid
irrigation necessary for both devices. Cost data given in the
text and the Appendix A tables on the sulfur dioxide
portion of the scrubbing system for Schemes A, C, and D
are probably closer to the venturi option.
Design provisions for operational turndown or tempo-
rary shutdown of any one magnesia scrubbing system will
depend primarily on how that unit operates in its total
system. Base load power units of large size will not require
as extensive flexibility as smaller units used in peaking
service. Generally, 200-mw systems with as many as six coal
feeders are not operated at less than 25-33% of load so that
in the event of failure in a feed system at least one
operating feeder is left. If other power generation facilities
are available, midrange base load units such as a 500-mw
facility are usually restricted to a turndown around 50-60%;.
operation at loads less than 50% justifies complete shut-
down and shift of load to a smaller peaking unit.
Several methods are available to provide turndown
capabilities including:
1. Multiple scrubbing trains
2. Variable flow control to individual scrubbers
3. Compartmentalized scrubbers
4. Individual scrubber bypasses
5. Connecting plenum ducts between trains
These different methods affect both duct and scrubber
design and, unfortunately, little experience is available to
indicate which method is best. In limited TVA pilot plant
tests of a Turbulent Contact Absorber (mobile bed type)
with limestone scrubbing, reasonable dust and S02 removal
efficiencies were maintained during operation at gas rates as
low as 50% of design capacity. In the large scale demonstra-
tion systems for S02 removal being constructed in 1972
around the country, a variety of these alternatives are being
utilized, in many cases, provision is made for more than one
alternative.
For this conceptual design study, a variable throat
control is provided for the particulate venturi to maintain
high gas velocities when operating at reduced gas rates.
Other than possible changes in liquid circulation rate, no
specific provisions are included for the S02 scrubbers. To
provide isolation for temporary shutdowns, each train of
scrubbers is equipped with sufficient shutoff dampers and a
bypass duct; however, when using these provisions, a
portion of the boiler gas is exhausted without particulate
and SO2 control.
The use of a mist eliminator in the SO2 scrubber exit gas
duct is desirable for the following purposes:
1. To reduce the load on the stack gas reheater.
2. To decrease the deposition of liquid and entrained
solids in ducts and equipment located downstream from the
scrubber.
3. To reduce the amount of solids emitted to the
atmosphere as entrained dust.
4. To minimize the amount of makeup MgO required to
compensate for losses out the stack.
For maximum efficiency and extended service, mist elimi-
nators should be designed for proper gas distribution and
include facilities for removing any accumulated solids.
In previous process studies (87, 89) several types of mist
eliminators were evaluated. The simplest and most common
are the impingement vane types in which the shape of the
vanes and their arrangement cause impaction and coales-
cence of the mist. Other types of entrainment separators
evaluated included centrifugal vane, wire mesh (York), fiber
bed (Brink), cyclonic, and packed bed (6-12 in. of
Tellerettes, Pall Rings, or other packing). Although it may
be possible to adequately reduce mist with these devices,
there is some uncertainty about the ability of some types to
operate in slurry service without plugging. Presently more
large-scale gas scrubber installations are utilizing chevron
vane type mist eliminators, or slight modifications, because
they are generally considered the type least likely to plug.
Although experience in power unit service is limited,
scrubber vendors are recommending the use of fiberglass
reinforced polyester chevron vane type mist eliminators for
the magnesia schemes; therefore, such devices will be used
in this study. Considerable doubt still exists as to their
effectiveness and reliability over long periods of time;
however, extended tests such as the Boston Edison demon-
stration should provide better information than currently
available.
Various methods for supplemental reheat of the stack
gas were discussed in previous conceptual design studies.
For this report the alternatives are repeated and updated
where additional information applies. Portions of the
required flue gas reheat are obtained from heat of compres-
sion of the gas in passing through the induced draft fans
and from direct addition of dryer exhaust to the main flue
gas stream; however, supplemental heat is required to
obtain a stack gas outlet temperature of 175° F. Table 21
shows the expected temperature rise or loss of the gas in
passing through the system.
Additional heat may be supplied by installing a combus-
tion system at the base of the power plant stack for burning
natural gas, oil, or coal and mixing the combustion
products with the scrubber exit gas. The main advantages
for this method are moderately low investment, flexibility
in degree of reheat, minimum added pressure drop, low
maintenance, and good reliability. Disadvantages are fuel

cost, introduction of objectionable components (S03, S02,
and ash) into the gas, and fuel supply problems. Natural gas
is the most desirable fuel; however, gas supplies are
extremely limited and probably restricted from many
power plants. Oil would be more expensive, but since
already required by the process, a practical alternative. Use
of coal could result in the lowest fuel cost, but would add
more sulfur dioxide and ash to the stack gas. The fly ash
emission could be minimized by firing the coal on a grate
stoker.
A second reheat choice is to bypass the scrubber with
part of the gas stream and mix this gas with the scrubber
exit gas. This procedure requires minimum investment and
has essentially no operating cost. However, it requires that
higher particulate and SO2 removal efficiencies be obtained
in the scrubber since a portion of the gas is emitted to the
atmosphere without being scrubbed. This is not a desirable
alternative.
A third reheat method uses heat exchangers for direct
transfer of heat from the scrubber inlet gas to the exhaust
gas. With this method, heat that would be wasted is
recovered. Further advantages are reduction in the amount
of water required for evaporative cooling, a corresponding
reduction in gas volume and, except for maintenance, no
labor requirement. Disadvantages are the large heat
exchanger required (because of low transfer coefficient and
temperature differential), high pressure drop, and possi-
bility of fouling-which would lead to low efficiency and
high maintenance cost. Corrosion by sulfur trioxide would
be a problem.
Using a cyclic-liquid heat exchange system with heat
transfer from the inlet gas to treated water and from the
water to the scrubber exhaust gas is another alternative.
The better heat transfer coefficient would permit use of
smaller exchangers than those required for gas-gas exchange
and the smaller surface would reduce pressure drop and
maintenance. Fouling, corrosion, and erosion problems are
major disadvantages.
Heating with steam from the turbine cycle in a heat
exchanger at the scrubber outlet is one of the more popular
reheat techniques. This method would require additional
fuel in the boiler to generate the extra steam and
modification of the turbine to allow higher than normal
extraction rates. Extensive modification of existing units
would be impractical, but in a new plant a system could be
included to provide the steam required.
Use of steam for reheat would require relatively small
heat exchangers installed only on the scrubber discharge
where if mist eliminators are effective, the gas should be
relatively clean. Corrosion, fouling, and pressure drop
would be minimized. The main disadvantage is the added
fuel requirement.
Finally, a sixth reheat system considered uses a cyclic
system comprised of heat exchange towers where liquid or
solid particles are sprayed into the gas stream ahead of the
scrubber and the sensible heat gained by the particles is
transferred to the scrubber exit gas in a similar chamber.
With this system, there would be no heat exchangers to foul
or corrode and the pressure drop would be low. With a
liquid, partial dust removal could be effected by filtering or
centrifuging the liquid from the "hot" tower. However, a
low vapor pressure over the liquid would be required to
prevent carryover to the scrubber and the liquid should be
nonflammable or have a high kindling temperature to
prevent fire hazard. Use of solid particles would require a
material with good abrasion resistance to withstand the
rough handling.
As discussed in the Study Assumptions and Design
Criteria section, at this time, simplicity and reliability are
more important considerations for selection of the method
for stack gas reheat than are costs. On a performance basis,
direct combustion and steam reheat are probably the most
desirable methods. Although other concepts may also prove
to be reliable, these two are chosen for use in the current
study. Because of lower cost and the ability to provide for
in the original design, the steam reheat method is incorpo-
rated in new coal-fired power units; all other cases utilize
the direct combustion method. Since fuel oil is used at each
plant to supply the heat for drying, it was selected as the
fuel for the combustion reheat systems.
There are three alternatives for location of the fan for
new coal-fired installations, including:
1. Upstream of the scrubbing system
2. Between particulate and sulfur dioxide scrubbers
3. Downstream from the scrubbing system
For new oil-fired installations the second location is not
applicable since particulate scrubbers are not utilized.
The selection of fan location largely dictates the choice
of fan. A wet fan is required for handling gases at saturated
conditions; whereas, a dry fan is applicable for handling
gases at temperatures above the dew point. Since the gas
temperature is about 310° F at the entrance to the
scrubbers, a dry fan is applicable for the first location.
Because of the higher gas temperature prior to gas
humidification and cooling this fan would handle the
largest volumetric flow. The gas at the second location is
saturated and a wet fan would be required. At the third
location, placement of the fan upstream of the reheater
63
-------
would require a wet fan, whereas downstream locations can
utilize the dry type. Use of a dry fan after reheat requires a
fan with a somewhat higher volumetric capacity, but this
location is generally considered to be the most desirable.
Although smaller quantities of particulates are present in
the gas to cause erosion at this location, deposition of
entrained solids may be a problem.
A dry fan installed downstream of the flue gas reheater
is assumed for this study. Use of a dry fan agrees with the
current TVA selection for the 550-mw Widows Creek
limestone scrubbing installation.
The type of installation (new or retrofit) and the type of
power plant, (coal- or oil-fired) largely dictates the design
specifications for the flue gas system. New power plant
installations can be designed to utilize one I.D. fan for each
duct to overcome the draft losses both in the boiler and in
the scrubbing system. However, for retrofit installations the
existing I.D. fan is not capable of overcoming the pressure
drop in the scrubbing system, and an additional fan is
required. The pressure drop encountered in oil-fired
installations is less than for coal-fired because oil-fired
systems do not include particulate scrubbers. The pressure
drop distribution shown in table 22 is assumed for
specification of the fans and determination of resulting
operating costs for Schemes A, C, and D installations on
coal- and oil-fired power units. Pressure drop in the Grillo
designed spray scrubber is understood to be only 2.2 in.;
therefore, for Scheme B cases, the applicable pressure drops
are adjusted downward by 2.3 in.
Slurry or Solution Processing
Each of the magnesia schemes is based on the formation of
magnesium sulfite with a minimum amount of oxidation to
sulfate and subsequent separation from the absorbent
liquor by further processing. In Schemes A, B, and D
crystalline magnesium-sulfur compounds are formed
directly in the circulating slurry and the precipitated solids
are recovered from the scrubber effluent for further
treatment. In Scheme C, the clear liquor variation, the
absorbed sulfur dioxide is present in the effluent as a
solution of magnesium compounds in a fly ash slurry, and
additional steps are required for separation of fly ash and
solution and reaction of clarified solution with magnesia to
increase the pH and precipitate the magnesium compounds.
The precipitated compounds can then be processed to
obtain a crystalline cake for feed to the dryer in the same
manner as used in the other three schemes.
Slurry or solution processing can be subdivided into the
following three functions:
1. Contamination control.
2. Hydrate conversion.
3. Solid-liquid separation.
Contamination control is required to reduce the amount
of impurities which will accumulate in the closed loop
sulfur dioxide absorber liquor. At this time little data are
available to define the magnitude and exact method for
control of the contaminants; however, this information
should become available after extended operation of the
Boston Edison demonstration system during 1972-73.
Both soluble and insoluble impurities are introduced
into the sulfur dioxide absorber. As indicated in the Process
Chemistry, Properties and Kinetics section of the report,
the majority of the soluble contaminants enter the system
in the makeup water. Additional soluble impurities from
makeup MgO are introduced in much smaller quantities
into the absorber. Based on the impurity data given, a new
500-mw power unit burning coal containing 3.5% S
introduces soluble contaminants into the sulfur dioxide
absorber liquor at the rates shown in table 23.
Insoluble contaminants are introduced into the sulfur
dioxide absorber chiefly as fly ash. For the slurry schemes
(A, B, and D) applied to coal-fired power units, approxi-
mately 1% of the fly ash emitted from the boiler is in the
gas at the inlet to the sulfur dioxide absorber. Even though
particulate scrubbers are not provided for oil-fired units,
quantities of fly ash in the gas to the sulfur dioxide
absorber would be smaller than for coal firing. For the clear
liquor scheme, all of the fly ash emitted from the boiler is
introduced into the sulfur dioxide absorber. Table 24
indicates the rates of introduction for new 500-mw units.
Although not all of this fly ash will be collected in the
circulating liquor, the values indicate the potential
magnitude of contamination.
It can be seen that the rate of input for insoluble
impurities is much greater than for soluble contaminants.
Equipment requirements for removal of contaminants
can not be well defined until operating results are available.
Because of differences in input rate of insoluble impurities
and the form in which the sulfur compounds exist,

different contaminant control procedures are required for
slurry and clear liquor schemes.
For the slurry schemes, equipment can be provided for
reacting a portion of the slurry with sulfur dioxide in a
solubilizing tank, followed with removal of the fly ash by
filtration and disposal of the cake. Fresh MgO can be added
to the filtrate in an agitated reactor to reprecipitate the
magnesium compounds. These solids can be recovered from
the slurry by filtration, and returned to the scrubbing loop,
with the filtrate containing soluble contaminants discarded
to an evaporative pond.
For the clear liquor scheme, a considerable amount of
fly ash is present in the scrubber effluent and a thickener is
necessary for sedimentation. Since the sulfur compounds in
the effluent are soluble, a solubilizing tank is not required
prior to removal of fly ash. Fly ash is filtered from the
thickener underflow, sluiced with water, and then disposed.
A bleed stream of the filtrate is treated to remove the
soluble impurities as described for the slurry schemes.
Pilot plant data for MgO slurry scrubbing indicate that
MgS03-6H20 may be the predominant sulfite species
present in the effluent from the sulfur dioxide absorber.
Further test work presented in the Process Chemistry,
Properties and Kinetics section indicates that MgS03-3H20
can be obtained from the hexahydrate by simple thermal
conversion. Since the heat required for drying the latter
species is less than that required for drying MgS03-6H20,
an economic evaluation is desirable to determine which
material should be fed to the dryer. Two process
alternatives were considered. The first alternative provides
for dewatering the scrubber effluent to obtain a cake
primarily composed of hexahydrate crystals, followed by
drying. The second alternative requires thermal conversion
of a thickened hexahydrate slurry to obtain the trihydrate
material, followed by dewatering as in the first method, and
drying.
Dewatering and drying of hexahydrate crystals can be
performed satisfactorily (12); however, no test results are
available for dewatering and drying of trihydrate crystals.
As discussed in the Process Chemistry, Properties and
Kinetics section, trihydrate crystals are likely to be much
smaller than the hexahydrate form and dewatering could be
more difficult. For purposes of evaluation, a trihydrate
cake was assumed to contain approximately 15% free
moisture as compared to 5% for a hexahydrate cake.
Although additional equipment and heat are required to
convert the hexahydrate crystals to the trihydrate form and
to evaporate the additional free moisture in the cake, a
considerable heat savings is obtained in the dryer. The total
heat requirements of the two alternatives are indicated in
table 25 for a new, 500-mw, 3.5% S, coal-fired unit. The
heat required for thermal conversion is based on a
concentrated slurry since data presented earlier show
thickened slurries to have the fastest conversion rates and
require less sensible heat. This net heat savings was applied
in the dewatering evaluation to follow.
The several solid-liquid separation alternatives were
considered for concentrating the slurry prior to drying as
indicated in table 26.
Chemico-Basic has tested direct centrifugation (alterna-
tive 1) of the scrubber effluent for the MgS03-6H20
process and found this to be a satisfactory operation. Their
work indicates that a centrifuge cake containing about 5%

free moisture can be obtained. Since thickening of the
effluent slurry from the sulfur dioxide absorber can reduce
the volumetric feed rate of the slurry, a thickener and
centrifuge alternative was also considered (alternative 2).
A third alternative, filtration, was considered for con-
centrating the slurry. However, based on equipment costs,
filtration equipment vendors do not recommend filtration
of dilute slurries.
After prior thickening, filtration should be a practical
alternative (alternative 4). Test work on filtration of
MgS03-6H20 slurries has not been reported; however,
equipment vendors indicate that the filter cake would
contain between 10 and 20% free moisture. A somewhat
higher capacity dryer would be required for operation with
a filter compared to a centrifuge to compensate for the
additional free moisture content.
Gravity thickeners and wet screens were considered for
thickening the solids in the scrubber effluent. Experience in
the chemical industry has shown gravity thickening to be a
reliable and relatively inexpensive way to increase the solids
concentration of a slurry. The primary equipment required
for this operation includes a conical bottom settling tank, a
thickener rake with drive and supports, and slurry pumps
for pumping the thickened underflow. The size of the
equipment is dependent upon the settling rate of the solids.
Laboratory tests were made at TVA to determine the
concentration of solids to be expected in the underflow
from a gravity thickener and the parameters which affect
the settling rate of the crystals. The data indicate that the
crystals settle to form a slurry containing about 50-60%
solids. It was also found that the settling rate of the solids is
dependent upon the concentration of magnesium sulfate in
the solution phase, but relatively independent of the
temperature of the slurry. Figure 53 shows the relationship
between time and solution-slurry interface for
MgS03-6H20 settling through saturated solutions
containing soluble MgS04; the rate of settling of
MgS03-6H20 is more rapid for slurries with low
concentrations of soluble MgS04.
Wet screens are utilized in industry for dividing a slurry
into two streams:
1. A dilute slurry containing the smaller size crystals.
2. A concentrated slurry containing the larger size
crystals.
Since fine solids are recycled to the scrubbing loop,
satisfactory operation of these devices for the MgO schemes
depends upon crystal growth rather than new crystal
formation in the absorption loop. If crystalline growth is
satisfactory, these devices can be used in place of gravity
thickeners. Since they do not require the large tank
provided for the gravity thickener alternative, the
investment for these devices is less.
Chemico-Basic has recently tested the use of wet screens

ment costs for a gravity thickener and a wet screen. In
addition to having a favorable cost advantage, the wet
screen devices require less space than gravity thickeners,
which itself would be adequate basis for selection for some
power plant locations. Wet screens were selected for
thickening the effluent from the scrubbers. Underflow
pumps are not required for the wet screen type thickener
because the screens can be elevated to discharge directly
into the conversion tank.
Prior to obtaining final cost data, a preliminary eco-
nomic evaluation of MgS03-6H20 and MgS03-3H20
dewatering methods was made. Since the filtration alterna-
tives require more heat for drying than do the centrifuge
alternatives, both the concentrating and drying steps were
considered. Table 28 shows the estimated equipment
investment, operating horsepower, dryer heat requirements,
and annual operating costs for the MgS03-6H20 process

lowest investment and horsepower, a greater amount of
heat is required for this alternative. Based on the above
annual operating costs, thickening followed by centri-
fugation (alternative 2) appears to be the most economical
dewatering alternative and was selected for the
MgS03-6H20 process.
For concentrating MgS03-3H20 slurry, alternative 1,
indicated earlier (thicken, convert, and centrifuge), was
selected since the smaller trihydrate crystals would be
harder to filter than the hexahydrate crystals; therefore, the
centrifuge alternative should be more economical.
A comparison of the estimated total dewatering require-
ments for the MgS03-6H20 and MgS03-3H2O processes is
given in table 29.
Based on a fuel oil cost of $0.09/gal ($0.60/million Btu),
and an annual operating rate of 7,000 hrs/yr, the net heat
savings when using the MgS03-3H20 as opposed to the
MgSO3-6H20 process amounts to a fuel cost savings of
approximately $50,400/yr. The remaining operating cost
difference is the result of the lower equipment investment
and operating horsepower required for the MgS03-3H20
process.
Sulfite Drying-Calcining
Regeneration of magnesia from a wet cake feed involves
drying the feed to remove the free and combined moisture,
and calcination to regenerate magnesia and release gaseous
sulfur dioxide at concentrations necessary for production
of sulfuric acid. Drying and calcining can be performed
either separately or in a single combined device. Although a
combined dryer-calciner probably can be designed for more
efficient heat utilization, the greater amount of heat
required for the combination unit to provide for both
drying and calcining results in an offgas containing low
concentrations of sulfur dioxide. In addition, the high
moisture content of the feed cake to a combination unit
results in higher concentrations of moisture in the offgas.
The combined effects would make it more expensive to
produce 98% H2S04. By providing separate facilities for
drying and calcining, the amount of moisture in the feed to
the calciner and the amount of combustion gas in the
calciner can be reduced to more desirable levels for 98%
H2SO4 production; therefore, separate drying and calcining
units are incorporated in the process design. There is no
alternative when considering off-site magnesia regeneration
and H2S04 production.
To improve the heat utilization of a separate drying unit,
the offgas from the dryer, after dust removal, can be
exhausted to the stack to supply a portion of the required
stack gas reheat. The heat utilization of a separate calciner
unit can be improved by providing preheating stages for
countercurrent contact between offgas and incoming feed.
Operating requirements for drying, calcining, and sul-
furic acid manufacture are interrelated, since any moisture
contained in the solid discharge from the dryer is trans-
ferred to the calciner offgas, which is fed to the sulfuric
acid unit. Because of this relationship, the effect of
moisture content of the feed to the calciner on the sulfuric
acid process was studied. The results are discussed below
and are based on calcination by direct combustion of a No.
6 fuel oil with 5% excess air.

Figure 54 shows the relationship between the moisture
content of the feed to the calciner and the composition of
S02 and H20 in the calciner off gas. The effect of moisture
content of the feed to the calciner on the concentration of
sulfuric acid, assuming no addition or removal of water at
the sulfuric acid unit, is shown in figure 55. The moisture
content of the feed to the calciner must be below 4.4%
H20 at an inlet feed temperature of 400° F to allow for
production of 98% H2SO4 without providing extra
facilities for removing water from the calciner offgas.
However, supplemental water must be added at the H2S04
unit to obtain 98% H2S04 if the moisture content of the
feed is below 4.4%. Since this appears to be the simplest
method for controlling the concentration of the product
acid, a calciner feed containing less than 4.4% moisture is
desirable.
The effect of the temperature of the feed to the calciner
on the composition of S02 in the offgas, and the amount
of water which must be added at the sulfuric acid unit is
shown in figures 56 and 57. The relationships are based on
a calciner feed containing about 2.1% water and a 98%
sulfuric acid rate of 16.1 tons/hr or 35.4 gal/min. These
correspond to the expected product rates assuming Scheme
A is applied to a new 500-mw unit utilizing coal containing
3.5% sulfur. For an off-site calcination unit with an inlet
feed temperature of approximately 60° F, the required rate
of addition of water for 98% H2S04 manufacture is
approximately 1.1 gal/min.
The equipment alternatives which were considered for
drying and calcining in the magnesia scheme are shown in
table 30.
In the test program performed by Grillo on the
MgO-Mn02 variation (Scheme B), spray dryers were
utilized for drying the effluent slurry containing absorbed
sulfur dioxide. Vendors of spray drying equipment were
contacted to provide general information and cost data to
aid in determining the applicability of these devices for full
scale installations. Operation of spray dryers requires that
the feed be pumpable; therefore, spray dryer installations
must be capable of evaporating a greater amount of
moisture than required for drying a centrifuge cake. The
additional moisture in the feed increases the dryer heat
requirement considerably. For base case conditions, the
heat requirement for a spray dryer installation is in the
range of 150-175 million Btu/hr. This compares with an
estimated heat requirement of about 70 million Btu/hr for
Table 30. Dryer-calciner equipment alternatives.

drying a centrifuge cake composed primarily of
MgS03-6H2O and about 58 million Btu/hr for conversion
of MgS03-6H20 to MgS03-3H20 followed by drying.
From discussions with vendors of spray dryers, it appears
that these devices are generally used for drying heat
sensitive materials or for other special applications. Also, a
larger capital investment is required for these devices. For
the magnesia schemes, other types of dryers appear to be
more practical; therefore, spray dryers were not selected.
In entrainment dryers, the feed to the dryer is entrained
in the carrier gas and is dried in passing through the system.
Although this method of drying appears to be feasible,
vendors declined to estimate the costs of these systems
without first performing tests. They indicate that satis-
factory operation requires a relatively free-flowing feed,
which may necessitate recycle of dryer product to mix with
the centrifuge cake. Actual tests are required to determine
the amount of recycle to provide before design and costs
can be determined. In addition, a lower inlet gas tempera-
ture is required for entrainment dryers because of the high
gas requirements for conveying the solids. Since cost data
was not made available, these devices were not included in
the design.
Both rotary and fluid bed systems appear to be feasible
for drying and calcining. Chemico-Basic has tested a rotary
system for drying a MgS03 -6H20 centrifuge cake; products
containing about 3% moisture were obtained when the feed
was dried to temperatures of 600-800° F. Although
oxidation data is not available, Chemico-Basic recommends
drying with a minimum amount of excess oxygen in the gas
to prevent excessive conversion of MgS03 to MgS04.
Chemico-Basic has also tested a rotary calciner for
regeneration of magnesia. The tests showed that essentially
complete regeneration from magnesium sulfite was
obtained at calcination temperatures of 1600-2000° F with
the addition of coke to produce a reducing atmosphere in
the calciner.
Although very little data are available for either drying
or calcining in fluid bed equipment, these devices have
advantages over rotary systems, including lower investment
and operating costs, better temperature control, lower heat
losses, and less space requirements. Because of better
contact between the solid and gas phases, these devices
should be capable of obtaining high calcination efficiencies
at lower temperatures (1400-1800° F) than required for
rotary equipment. Tests performed in Japan with regenera-
tion of the MgO-Mn02 material indicates a fluid bed system
performed satisfactorily at 1800° F without reducing coke.
With reductant, lower temperatures should be feasible.
Based on vendor quotations, estimated investment and
operating costs for rotary and fluid bed dryers and calciners
are given in table 31 for a coal-fired, base case installation.
Rotary equipment was assumed to require about 10% more

heat to compensate for additional losses due to the
larger equipment size.
Fluid bed equipment was selected for drying and
calcining for the various magnesia schemes because of the
estimated lower overall operating costs.
The Boston Edison demonstration scale unit incorpo-
rates rotary dryers and calciners for regeneration of
magnesia, although Chemico-Basic and others generally
agree that fluid bed regeneration will be the most attractive
alternative for future installations. The rotary system was
selected for the 155-mw demonstration installation because
all test data were obtained for rotary equipment and timing
did not permit further testing on fluid bed devices.
Cyclone dust collectors are normally provided for
primary collection of dust from the offgases of fluid bed
dryers and calciners. Generally, these devices are not
capable of achieving removal efficiencies as high as required
for the magnesia applications; therefore, secondary dust
control is necessary to obtain overall removal efficiencies of
99.5%. The following acceptable alternatives for secondary
dust control were considered:
1. Wet scrubbers
2. Bag filters
3. Electrostatic precipitators
Wet scrubbers are capable of high dust removal effi-
ciencies with relatively low investment; however, these
devices result in humidification of the offgas preventing
effective heat utilization. Bag filters are capable of high
dust collection efficiencies without reducing heat utiliza-
tion, but the temperature of the gas is limited to 425-500°
F to prevent destruction of the fabric bags. Electrostatic
precipitators also are capable of high dust collection
efficiencies without loss in utilization of heat, but their
capital cost is higher. However, these devices can operate
over a wider range of temperatures than bag filters.
With a dryer offgas temperature of about 400° F, either
a bag filter or an electrostatic precipitator could be
effectively utilized. For the fluid bed calciner, the
temperature of the offgas is expected to be 1400-1800° F,
and gas cooling is necessary if a bag filter is to be used.
Since more efficient overall heat utilization can be
obtained in the calciner by providing a waste heat boiler in
the offgas stream, this provision, under proper design
conditions, permits use of either a bag filter or an
electrostatic precipitator for cleaning the calciner exhaust
gas.
The estimated investment and operating costs for wet
scrubbers, bag filters, and electrostatic precipitators for
cleaning the dryer exhaust are given in table 32 for a
coal-fired, base case installation. These costs are based on
an inlet gas rate to the dust collector of about 57,900 acfm
at 400° F. Based on these results, wet scrubbing is not
economically feasible for controlling dust emissions from
the offgas. Although the investment required for this
method is lower than for the other methods, the net
operating costs are higher due to the high utility require-
ments and loss of heat utilization. There is little difference
in the operating costs of either bag filters or electrostatic
precipitators. Bag filters require a somewhat smaller initial
investment, but have higher projected utility and main-
tenance costs. As mentioned previously, TVA operating
experience with electrostatic precipitators for fly ash
removal has shown that high collection efficiencies are
difficult to maintain over long periods of time. Since any
reduction in dust removal from the calciner offgas
introduces additional undesirable contaminants into the
sulfuric acid unit, bag filters appear to be the- more
satisfactory devices for maintaining high dust removal
efficiencies; therefore, these devices are chosen for all four
schemes. It might be mentioned that Chemico-Basic has
selected bag filters for the Rumford, Rhode Island, demon-
stration calcining plant. These devices appear to be more
practical for cleaning small volumes of gas as encountered
in drying and calcining; however, for larger volumes
electrostatic precipitators may be the better choice.

Because of the potential for reaction of sulfur oxides,
air, and water in the calciner offgas, and possible condensa-
tion of H2S04 mist, the temperature of this gas must be
controlled carefully. Since some additional cooling occurs
with the addition of supplemental air required for conver-
sion of SO2 to SO3, the waste heat boiler is designed to
cool only to 700° F so that gas temperature remains above
the dew point of the acid after the supplemental air is
added. This air is added between the waste heat boiler and
the bag filter; at low concentrations of S03 in the gas, the
resulting 400° F final temperature should insure
satisfactory operation of the bag filter without
condensation of acid mist.
SulfuricAcid Production
Most of the sulfuric acid production facilities built in the
last decade utilize the contact process in which the
following steps, in order, take place (28):
1. The generation of a sulfur dioxide-containing gas
from an appropriate raw material.
2. The cooling (if necessary), purification, and drying of
the sulfur dioxide-containing gas.
3. Reheating of the sulfur dioxide-containing gas to the
proper temperature for conversion to sulfur trioxide.
4. Catalytic oxidation of the sulfur dioxide to sulfur
trioxide.
5. Cooling of the sulfur trioxide-containing gas.
6. Production of sulfuric acid by absorption of the
sulfur trioxide in concentrated sulfuric acid.
Many of these steps are independent of the source of
sulfur dioxide; however, others are dependent on the
composition of the carrier gas. Because of the water
content of the feed to the calciner and the water formed
during combustion of the fuel for calcination, the offgas
from a magnesia regeneration unit contains more moisture
than a conventional gas from a sulfur burner and must be
dried prior to S03 conversion. Table 33 shows the
estimated overall composition of feed gas to the sulfuric
acid unit for a MgS03 calciner offgas, and a sulfur burner
offgas. For comparison, each of these compositions
includes the required amount of bleed air to result in an
O2:S02 mole ratio of 1.4 as required for efficient
conversion of S02 to S03.

Based on a calciner feed containing 2.2% H2O.
As mentioned in the previous section, several alternatives
are available for cleaning the feed gas to the sulfuric acid
unit. Generally, these are described either as "wet" or
"dry" dust removal systems, and the selection of the type
to be included is closely related to design of the acid unit.
Although more design and operating experience is available
for the wet type, certain advantages are inherent in both
systems.
The main advantage of "dry" gas cleanup systems over
"wet" is the ability of these systems to clean the gas without
lowering the temperature. Since the gas must be heated to
high temperatures (about 830° F) prior to entering the
converter, better heat utilization is obtained. However, dry
systems do not offer a practical way for removing moisture
from feed gases when required. Production of 98% H2S04
requires an overall mole ratio of H20:S02 in the feed of
about 1.11. At lower mole ratios, water must be added to
the system, whereas higher ratios require removal of
moisture for producing the high strength acid. Condensa-
tion of water from the gas by cooling below the saturation
temperature appears to be the most practical way to reduce
the water content of the gas. If this is required, a wet
scrubber would be the simplest device for cooling the gas
and, because of its dual role of both cleaning and cooling,
would become the most practical alternative.
Cooling the feed gas to a sulfuric acid unit to allow for
production of high strength acids is practical and done
routinely with metallurgical S02 offgas. The offgas of a
separate calciner unit can be controlled to adequate
moisture contents to allow for production of 98% H2S04 ;
however, the moisture content of the offgas of a combina-
tion dryer-calciner can not be reduced enough by wet
scrubbing alone to allow for production of a concentrated
acid. The larger quantity of gas contains more moisture
than required even at saturated conditions at the scrubber
operating temperature. Based on discussions with vendors,
it does not appear to be desirable to design an acid unit for
producing a dilute acid. This type unit would introduce
special problems including:
1. More difficult acid mist control because it is harder
to collect H2S04 mist than to absorb S03, especially in
lower strength acids.
2. More expensive materials of construction due to the
higher corrosiveness of weaker acids.
3. Larger facilities for storing a dilute acid.
4. More expensive heat exchangers.
5. Additional expense in shipping the more dilute acid.
6. Lower sales price for dilute acid.
Because of the above production of dilute acids was not
considered to be an economical alternative, and further
evaluation of combination dryer-calciner units was not
pursued.
Since the separate unit selected for drying the centrifuge
cake is designed to obtain a high water removal efficiency,
72
-------
either a "wet" or a "dry" sulfuric acid process is feasible.
Estimated investment and operating cost for both acid
processes are shown in table 34. Although investment data
were obtained from several vendors, for uniform
comparison of wet and dry system costs, only one set of
data is shown.
Based on the estimated lower costs, a dry sulfuric acid
system was selected for incorporation in the various
magnesia schemes. Although this type system requires
higher drying efficiencies for producing 98% H2S04 than
the wet system, as discussed previously, the higher
efficiencies appear to be attainable.
High degrees of contamination control are desirable in
the sulfuric acid unit to prevent fouling of converter
catalyst. It appears that a dry sulfuric acid process utilizing
a bag filter for dust removal will provide sufficient control
for maintaining activity of the catalyst over long periods.
In addition to defining the emission standards for power
generating plants, the EPA has also defined emission
standards for various chemical processes including those
shown in table 35 for sulfuric acid plants (29).
Based on, these standards, sulfuric acid plants are
required to convert a minimum of 99.7% of the inlet sulfur
dioxide to sulfuric acid. A typical single absorption contact
plant is capable of attaining an S02 recovery efficiency of
about 97%. Since this does not meet the EPA standards for
emission control, additional facilities are required for
reducing the sulfur dioxide content of the tail gas. A tail gas
system capable of a recovery efficiency of 90% in conjunc-
tion with a 97% efficient contact plant will provide an
overall sulfur dioxide recovery efficiency of 99.7% which
meets the emission standards. In the design of on-site
sulfuric acid units, the tail gas is cycled back to the stack
gas absorber to increase overall recovery efficiencies.
For off-site sulfuric acid units, this can not be done;
therefore, the following alternatives were considered:

operating costs for "wet" and "dry" sulfuric
acid units for base case installation.

1. Utilize a double absorption sulfuric acid process
which achieves higher S02 conversion and absorption
efficiencies.
2. Utilize a wet scrubbing process for absorbing S02
from the sulfuric acid unit tail gas.
It is not certain that the first alternative can achieve an
overall absorption efficiency of 99.7%; therefore, this
alternative was not selected. There are several tail gas
scrubbing processes which appear to be capable of meeting
emission requirements including limestone scrubbing,
sodium salt scrubbing, and magnesium oxide scrubbing.
Although the merits and costs of these processes were not
compared, an MgO tail gas scrubbing system was selected
and incorporated into the design of the tail gas cleanup
system. This alternative requires that a centrifuge and dryer
system be provided at the off-site calcination unit to
dewater and dry the scrubber effluent prior to its introduc-
tion into the calciner; however, it is the most compatible
alternative with magnesia scrubbing of power plant stack
gas.
During the procurement of cost and design data for
sulfuric acid units, some vendors recommended the use of
fluorocarbon heat exchangers and acid pump tanks in the
sulfuric acid plant. Although the costs of these systems
were said to be less than the costs of more conventional
cast iron units, the only acid plant prices received were
based on conventional heat exchange systems. For purpose
of this report, the flow diagrams, equipment costs, and
layout drawings presented will reflect only the cast iron
type exchangers. It should be recognized that fluorocarbon
heat exchange systems are potential money savers if
conditions permit their utilization.
Materials of Construction
One of the most important design considerations for the
magnesia scrubbing-regeneration process is the specification
of appropriate materials of construction for the equipment,
piping, and ductwork to minimize operational failures and
maintenance costs due to corrosion and erosion. Materials
of construction are particularly important for stack gas
slurry scrubbing applications because of the potential for
excessive erosion. In addition, the various process
operations and material properties require different
protective measures.
Very little actual quantitiative data is available at this
time to indicate the most desirable materials of construc-
tion for the various operations in the magnesia schemes;
however, some guiding information was obtained from the
following sources:
1. Sulfite pulping applications in the paper industry.
2. Babcock and Wilcox pilot plant tests (27).
3. Chemico-Basic pilot plant tests (12).
4. Grille pilot plant tests (61).
73
-------
5. TVA pilot plant and laboratory tests of various gas
scrubbing systems.
6. Vendor recommendations.
In an attempt to obtain more complete corrosion data for
the magnesia systems, some static corrosion tests were
performed by TVA; however, the results were not quanti-
tative because the conditions expected in actual operation
were not simulated for sustained periods of time. The pH of
the slurries in contact with the various test specimens
changed during the tests and the effect of prolonged
contact at a given pH could not be determined. In addition,
the effect of erosion is not obtained using static tests. It is
expected that the Boston Edison prototype demonstration
unit will provide corrosion and erosion data from extended
periods of operation under actual dynamic conditions; this
information will be helpful in designing actual installations.
In this conceptual design, scrubber shells are constructed
of mild steel except in areas with high gas velocities which
should be of alloy steel. The scrubber shells are lined with
rubber or a plastic coating. Surge tanks, pumps, agitators,
and slurry piping in the scrubbing area are constructed of
rubber-lined carbon steel. Following current practices,
ductwork between the powerhouse and the scrubbers is
Corten. Ductwork between the scrubbers and the stack gas
reheater system is epoxy-lined mild steel. The I.D. fan and
the ductwork between the reheater and the stack are
Corten since these areas require some protection from
reheater failure. The direct reheat system is constructed of
plain carbon steel with firebrick insulation for the areas
exposed to extremely high temperatures. If a tubular,
indirect steam, reheater is used, it should be made of alloy
steel.
In the slurry processing area, the wet screens, conversion
tank, conversion tank heating coil and agitator, and the
centrifuges are constructed of stainless steel. The liquor
tank and pumps are rubber-lined mild steel, and the steam
condensate tank and pumps are carbon steel. All piping in
this area is rubber-lined mild steel except the piping
associated with the condensate tank which is carbon steel.
Wetted parts of the centrifuge include protection against
abrasion with hard-surfacing and vendor-recommended
abrasion-resistant materials.
The conveyor and elevator for feeding wet centrifuge
cake to the dryer are constructed of carbon steel. The
combustion chamber, dryer, MgS03 surge bin, calciner, and
the cyclone dust collectors are constructed of carbon steel
with the firing end of the dryer being refactory lined. The
coke storage silo, conveyors, and elevators in the dryer-
calciner area are constructed of mild steel. The bag type
dust collectors include mild steel housings with either
Nomex or Teflon bags. Fans and ducts in the dryer-calciner
area are constructed of mild steel except for high tempera-
ture service. For gas temperatures above 1100° F the ducts
should be lined with brick. The waste heat boiler is
constructed of mild steel.
For the magnesia preparation areas, all unloading,
conveying and storage facilities are constructed of mild
steel. However, the slurrying tank, agitator, slurry pumps,
and MgO slurry piping system are rubber-lined mild steel to
provide protection from abrasion. Off-site storage facilities
for fuel oil are constructed of mild steel and are insulated.
Downstream from the calciner gas cleanup system, the
sulfuric acid plant is constructed of conventional materials.
Since no new technology is introduced for sulfuric acid
manufacture, and a variety of different designs are available
for acid units, the materials of construction for the acid
plant will not be discussed. It will be mentioned, however,
that the high strength sulfuric acid can be stored at low
temperatures in plain carbon steel tanks.
Equipment Description
A process control diagram describing instrumentation
requirements for Scheme A is shown in figure B-9
(Appendix B); although not presented, control diagrams for
the other schemes are similar. A typical pilot plan repre-
senting area requirements for a new 500-mw coal-fired
power unit equipped with a magnesia slurry scrubbing-
regeneration system is shown in figure B-10.
Gas scrubbing and reheat—Because of air preheater
design, large power plants normally include multiple gas
ducts between the powerhouse and the stack. For the
current study, it was assumed that 200-mw power units are
designed with two gas ducts, whereas 500-mw and
1000-mw units are designed with four ducts. Each duct is
fitted with a separate scrubbing system and individual
scrubber bypass ducts are provided. Gas velocities of
approximately 50 ft/sec are used in design of ducts.
Coal-fired power units utilizing Schemes A, B, and D are
designed with separate scrubbers for particulate and sulfur
dioxide control. However, coal-fired power units utilizing
Scheme C and all oil-fired power units are designed with
scrubbing units capable of removing both particulates and
sulfur dioxide simultaneously.
In magnesia scrubbing systems, either venturi, mobile
bed, or spray absorbers can be provided for sulfur dioxide
absorption. A representative plan and elevation view of a
two-stage venturi scrubbing installation for Scheme A
applied to a new 500-mw coal-fired power plant is shown in
figure B-ll. A similar view of a venturi-mobile bed
configuration for this scheme is shown in figure B-12.
Figure B-13 shows a representative plan and elevation view
of a venturi-mobile bed scrubbing installation for Scheme A
applied to an existing 500-mw coal-fired power plant. The
design gas flow rates through each of the four scrubber
trains are shown in table 36 for new 500-mw coal-fired
power units.

-------
A representative plan and elevation view of a spray
scrubbing installation for Scheme B applied to a new
500-mw oil-fired power plant is shown in Figure B-14. Each
pair of parallel scrubbers on oil-fired power units (one pair
per duct) is designed for an exhaust gas rate of about
238,000 acfm at 139° F.
Since the scrubbing areas of Schemes C and D are similar
to the scrubbing area shown for Schemes A and B, no
supplemental plans are shown for these schemes.
Table 37 gives the values of liquid to gas ratio
incorporated in the design of the various scrubbers. In each
scheme, entrainment separators are provided to reduce mist
from the exhaust gas of the particulate and sulfur dioxide
scrubbers. In the absence of better mist size definition,
vendors have recommended the use of fiberglass-reinforced
polyester, chevron vane type entrainment separators for
mist control. This selection may or may not require
modification after large scale operating experience with
these and other types of devices becomes available.
For a two-stage venturi scrubbing installation applied to
a new 500-mw coal-fired power plant, each scrubber is
approximately 28 ft in diameter by 40 ft high. They are
equipped with a conical bottom liquor sump which serves
as a recirculation tank. Each particulate venturi is designed
for a gas velocity of about 125-140 ft/sec. Each sulfur
dioxide absorber is designed for a gas velocity of about 75
ft/sec. Agitators are not required. Liquid is recirculated to
each particulate scrubber at a rate of about 4,740 gpm. The
liquid circulation rate to each sulfur dioxide absorber is
about 6,320 gpm. Two 200-horsepower recirculation
pumps are included for each particulate scrubber, whereas
each sulfur dioxide absorber is provided with two

250-horsepower pumps. Spare pumps are not provided
here; during pump failure the scrubber must be operated at
a reduced L/G.
For venturi-mobile bed scrubbing installations applied to
new or existing coal-fired power plants, both the particulate
venturi and the mobile bed absorber are rectangular and are
constructed adjacent to each other. They are inter-
connected with a common sump, separated by an entrain-
ment separator, and designed for liquid drainage to separate
recirculating tanks. Each venturi scrubber is designed for a
gas velocity of about 125-140 ft/sec. Each mobile bed
absorber is a two-stage, plastic sphere type and is designed
for a gas velocity of about 12-13.5 ft/sec. The overall
dimensions of the venturi-mobile bed scrubber configura-
tion are approximately 32 ft wide by 25 ft long by 54 ft
high. Each recirculation tank is approximately 11 ft in
diameter by 16 ft high and is equipped with a 20-
horsepower turbine agitator. Liquid is recirculated to the
particulate scrubbers at a rate of about 4,740 gpm. The
liquid circulation rate of each S02 absorber is about 3,160
gpm. Two 200-horsepower recirculation pumps are
included for each venturi scrubber; whereas each mobile
bed absorber is designed with two 125-horsepower pumps.
Again, spare pumps are not provided.
For Scheme B applied to a new 500-mw oil-fired power
plant, each duct is fitted with two spray absorbers
connected in parallel, a total of eight. Each spray absorber
is designed for a gas rate of about 45-50 ft/sec and contains
three banks of spray nozzles, with four nozzles/bank. The
absorbers are 8 ft by 8 ft in cross section and are
approximately 48 ft high. Each pair of absorbers drains into
a ll/2 ft diameter by 10 ft high recirculation tank provided
with a 2-horsepower turbine agitator. A separate 75-
horsepower recirculating pump designed for a recirculation
rate of about 825 gpm is provided for each absorber with
no spares included.
Separate stack gas reheaters are provided for each power
plant duct. New coal-fired units are designed with indirect
steam reheaters; whereas existing coal, and both new and
existing oil-fired units are equipped with direct combustion
reheaters utilizing No. 6 fuel oil. Reheaters are designed to
heat the gas to approximately 160° F. The additional
reheat required is obtained from the dryer offgas, and the
heat of compression of the gas in passing through the I.D.
fan. Each duct of a new 500-mw coal-fired power unit is
fitted with two parallel bare-tube heat-exchanger bundles
with 550 ft2 of heating surface each. The tube bundles are
fitted into a duct approximately 12 ft by 12 ft. The design
temperature profile for the steam reheaters is shown in
table 38.
Radial-tip, centrifugal I.D. fans are provided for
discharging the exhaust gas. As mentioned previously, new
power plants are designed with one I.D. fan/duct located
downstream of the reheater. The ductwork to the scrubbing

area of existing power units is constructed so the existing
I.D. fans can be utilized. However, supplemental I.D. fans
are provided downstream of the gas reheater to supply the
additional energy required to overcome the pressure drop
of the scrubbing system. For a new power plant, each I.D.
fan is equipped with a 2,250-horsepower motor. Each
supplemental I.D. fan for 500-mw existing power units is
equipped with a 1,575-horsepower motor.
Slurry or solution processing area--The liquor containing
SO2 absorbed in each scheme is pumped from the absorbers
to the slurry or solution processing area for separation of
solids prior to drying. In this area, full capacity spare
pumps are provided.
In Schemes A and D, the slurry containing crystalline
magnesium-sulfur compounds is fed to four elevated wet
screens for thickening; each wet screen is contained in a
vertical rectangular housing approximately 4 ft long by 5 ft
wide by 8 ft high. The wet screens will produce a
concentrated slurry containing about 40% solids. The 67%
slurry of Scheme B is not screened, but flows directly to
the conversion tank.
In Schemes A and D, the wet screens are constructed
directly above a 12 ft diameter tank designed with a 1,200
ft2 steam coil for heating the slurry and converting
MgS03-6H20 to MgS03-3H2O. The thickened slurry from
the screens flows by gravity to this tank, which is designed
for a residence time of 20 min for the thermal conversion.
The conversion tank is equipped with a 20-horsepower
turbine agitator. After conversion, the slurry is pumped to
two parallel 36 in. diameter by 72 in. long solid bowl
centrifuges for separation of the solids from the liquor.
Two 10-horsepower feed pumps are provided. Each centri-
fuge is equipped with a 200-horsepower motor. Both the
centrate and the screen undersize flow by gravity to a
common 5,000-gal receiving tank designed with
50-horsepower pumps for recycle of liquor to the scrubbers
and to the magnesia preparation area.
Because the scrubber effluent of Scheme C contains fly
ash, but does not contain undissolved magnesium com-
pounds, it is processed differently from Schemes A, B, and
D. A bleed stream of slurry from each of the sulfur dioxide
absorbers is pumped to a single 105 ft diameter conical-
bottom thickener equipped with rake and 5-horsepower
drive. The underflow from the thickener, containing about
30% fly ash, is pumped at a rate of about 94 gpm to each of
two parallel filters where the fly ash is removed. Two
15-horsepower pumps are provided. The filtrate flows by
gravity to a 3,900-gal liquor tank for recycle of solution to
the absorbers. Each filter has a surface area of about 60 ft2
and is equipped with a 100-horsepower vacuum pump. To
provide similar solids disposal as used for the other
schemes, the filter cake is slurried with water in a 1,300-gal
tank equipped with a 1-horsepower agitator and is pumped
as a 15% fly ash slurry to a disposal pond.
The overflow from the thickener flows by gravity to a
24,000-gal reaction-conversion tank equipped with a 1,900
ft2 steam coil. This tank is designed for a reaction time of
about 20 min. The magnesium sulfite slurry is pumped at a
rate of 570 gpm to each of two 36 in. diameter by 72 in.
long solid bowl centrifuges operating in parallel. Two
30-horsepower pumps are provided. Each centrifuge is
driven by a 200-horsepower motor and is elevated to allow
the centrate to flow by gravity to the 3,900-gal liquor tank
for recycle to the absorbers.
Sulfite drying-calcining-Representativz area layout plan
and elevation views of a fluid bed magnesium sulfite drying
and calcining area are shown in figures B-15 and B-16. For
comparison, a representative area layout plan view of a
rotary drying and calcining area is shown in figure B-17.
Each view includes the slurry preparation area which has
already been described.
The centrifuge cake is fed at a rate of 66,400 Ibs/hr to
the fluid bed dryer with a 16-in. screw conveyor. The
single-stage, fluid bed dryer is constructed of refractory-
lined carbon steel and is approximately 18 ft in diameter by
40 ft high. Hot gases are supplied to the dryer from an
oil-fired, horizontal, refractory-lined, carbon steel, com-
bustion chamber 10 ft in diameter by 16 ft long. A
250-horsepower blower supplies fluidizing combustion air
to the combustion chamber at a rate of approximately
13,200 acfm (ambient temperature). Cleaned dryer exhaust
gas at 400° F is recycled to the combustion chamber at
19,500 acfm as a means of controlling the temperature and
oxygen content of the feed gas to the dryer. The total gas
rate from the dryer is approximately 57,900 acfm at 400°
F, and the superficial gas velocity in the dryer is
approximately 4.0 ft/sec.
If rotary dryers and calciners are desired for regenerating
magnesia, the approximate dimensions of these systems are
as shown in table 39.
The offgas from the dryer is partially cleaned in a
refractory-lined carbon steel cyclone with a conical bottom;
secondary cleaning is accomplished with a fabric dust

collector. The fabric filter contains approximately 10,500
sq ft of filter area and is 46 ft long by 12% ft wide by 21 ft
high. A 250-horsepower fan is provided for exhausting the
cleaned gas to the flue gas plenum for reheat and to the
dryer combustion chamber for temperature control.
The solids discharged from the dryer, cyclone, and bag
filter are transferred to the MgS03 silo on a common
conveyor-elevator at a rate of approximately 40,000 Ibs/hr.
The MgS03 silo is approximately 26 ft in diameter by 43 ft
high with a 12 ft conical bottom. If off-site regeneration is
required, as in Scheme D, truck loading facilities are
provided.
The coke receiving silo is approximately 15 ft in
diameter by 21 ft high with an 8 ft conical bottom. A
receiving hopper and a conveyor-elevator are included for
unloading coke. Variable speed weigh feeders are used for
feeding MgS03 and coke to a common conveyor-elevator
which discharges into the fluid bed calciner. This conveyor-
elevator also receives recycle from the secondary calciner
dust collectors and is designed for an overall feed rate to
the calciner of about 39,000 Ibs/hr.
The fluid bed calciner is refractory-lined carbon steel
and is approximately 16 ft in diameter by 38 ft high. It
contains a single calcination bed designed for operation at
1600° F and two air preheat-product cooling stages.
Combustion air is fed into the lower cooling stage at a rate
of 10,100 acfm at ambient temperature by a 400-
horsepower blower. Product MgO is withdrawn from the
lower cooling stage at a temperature of 225° F and a rate
of 16,900 Ibs/hr. The heat for calcination is obtained by
direct combustion of fuel oil in the upper stage. The gas
flow rate at the discharge of the calciner is 51,900 acfm at
1600° F, and the superficial gas velocity in the calcining
bed is approximately 4.0 ft/sec.
An off-site fuel oil storage and feeding system is
designed for heating, transferring, and feeding fuel oil to
the dryer and calciner. These facilities include insulated
storage and holding tanks with heating coils, heat
exchangers, and transfer and feed pumps; a 30-day supply
of fuel oil is provided.
The offgas from the calciner is partially cleaned in a
refractory-lined carbon-steel cyclone with a conical bottom.
Prior to secondary cleaning, the gas is cooled to about 700°
F in a waste heat boiler and is mixed with the required
amount of air for producing sulfuric acid. The combined
gas, at a temperature of 400° F and a rate of 44,500 acfm,
is fed to a fabric filter for final cleaning before entering the
sulfuric acid unit. This filter contains approximately 7,700
sq ft of cloth area and is 34 ft long by 12J/2 ft wide by 21 ft
high. The MgO collected in the bag filter is recycled to the
calciner for layout convenience and to insure calcination of
the fines.
Slurry preparation-Product MgO from the lower cooling
stage discharges onto a conveyor-elevator and is fed to the
top of a 30 ft diameter by 31 ft high storage silo with a 12
ft conical bottom. Fresh makeup MgO is received in an 18
ft diameter by 25 ft high silo with a 9 ft conical bottom. A
pneumatic conveying system with a 150-horsepower blower
is provided for unloading fresh MgO. Each of the silos is
equipped with a variable speed feeder beneath the conical
bottom. The weigh feeders discharge onto an conveyor-
elevator for feeding MgO to the slurry tank. The slurry tank
is 24 ft in diameter by 35 ft high and is equipped with a
50-horsepower turbine agitator and two 15-horsepower
pumps. The MgO is slurried in a stream of recycle centrate
and thickener underflow from the liquor tank and is
pumped to the absorption area.
The dimensions of the slurry processing, drying, cal-
cining, and slurry preparation area for a fluid bed
installation are approximately 197 ft by 188 ft for a
500-mw power unit. If rotary dryers and calciners are
provided, the dimensions for this area would be
approximately 320 ft by 188 ft.
Sulfuric acid production and storage—Representative
area plan and elevation views of the sulfuric acid pro-
duction and storage area are shown in figures B-18 and
B-19. Since dimensions of the sulfuric acid process equip-
ment depend upon specific design which may vary from
vendor to vendor, they are not discussed. However, a
500-mw power unit burning 3.5% S coal requires an area
approximately 245 ft long by 188 ft wide for the contact
sulfuric acid plant.
The cleaned calciner offgas at a rate of approximately
44,500 acfm at 400° F is dried with a recycle stream of
93% sulfuric acid, and any supplemental water which is
required for producing 98% acid is added to the drying
tower. The S02 in the offgas of the drying tower is
converted to S03 in a four-stage converter. Prior to
entering the converter, the gas is preheated in three vertical
indirect gas-to-gas heat exchangers while simultaneously
cooling the offgas from the upper and lower converter
stages. The converter is designed for supplemental cooling
of the offgases of the second and third converter stages
below the catalyst beds by indirect heat exchange with air.
The heated air is exhausted to the atmosphere. The
converter offgas, after passing through the primary heat
exchangers, is fed to the absorption tower for direct
absorption of S03 in 98% H2S04. For an on-site sulfuric
acid unit, the tail gas containing S02 is recycled to the S02
absorbers at a rate of approximately 26,200 acfm at 160°
F. For an off-site acid unit, however, separate magnesia tail
gas scrubbing, solids separation, and drying facilities are
provided. Drip type heat exchangers are incorporated for
cooling the product acid and the effluents from both the
drying and absorption towers. The net product rate is
approximately 386 tons of 98% H2S04/day for a 500-mw,
3.5% S coal-fired installation.
77
-------
The sulfuric acid unit is designed with three 500,000-gal
mild-steel storage tanks with an overall storage capacity
equivalent to approximately 1 month's production. These
facilities allow for storage of various strengths of acid as
may be required by the consumer. The tanks are connected
to a common loading station equipped with parallel
operating and spare loading pumps.
Equipment delivery and installation-The estimated deliv-
ery time required for the various types of equipment may
vary considerably depending upon power plant location,
method of transportation, and the size of the equipment.
Much of the equipment is large and must be field
fabricated. Scrubbers, dryers, and calciners, because of
their size, are expected to require the longest delivery and
erection time. A complete on-site magnesia facility including
scrubbing, absorbent regeneration, and sulfuric acid pro-
duction and storage areas is expected to require about
18-30 months for engineering, procurement, and erection.

INVESTMENT AND OPERATING COST
On the basis of design criteria, assumptions, and equipment
selections defined in previous sections, investment and
operating cost estimates were prepared for economic
evaluation of the four magnesia scrubbing-regeneration
schemes. In addition to base case conditions for a new
500-mw power unit burning either coal with 3.5% sulfur
content or fuel oil with 2.5% sulfur content, several other
combinations of the more important variables were given
detailed treatment. Included are variations in sulfur content
of fuel, type of fuel (coal or oil), power unit size, and plant
status (new vs existing). The estimates are based on a
midwestern location and mid-1972 cost levels with the
investments corresponding to a Chemical Engineering Cost
Index of 136.
Given in table 40 are the individual cases examined.
Schemes A, B, and C are evaluated assuming all facilities,
including fly ash disposal, at the power plant site, whereas
Scheme D covers situations where scrubbing and sulfite
drying are performed at the power plant and regeneration
and acid manufacture are completed at an off-site central
processing plant.
In addition to the magnesia process estimates, updated
1972 limestone-wet scrubbing process costs based on the
latest process design, development, and operating data
available, are given for comparison. The wet limestone
process serves reasonably well as a measurable alternative
for S02 emission reduction since a directly comparable
range of estimates for each process variable can be made. In
addition, it is a nonrecovery process not requiring sulfur
product marketing. There are other valid alternatives for
SO 2 reduction including the use of low sulfur fuels and
nuclear power; however, their costs are as widely variable
and as difficult to predict as are limestone-wet scrubbing
values. Since interest in wet limestone scrubbing is
currently high and several pilot plant and full scale
installations of the process are being designed, constructed,
or operated to test the concept, comparison of magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration and wet limestone scrubbing costs
should yield a meaningful measure of application potential.
For additional evaluation, economic results are given in
terms of cost/unit of fuel consumed ($/ton of coal, $/barrel
of oil) which can be compared to the premium that must be
paid for low sulfur fuel.
The limestone slurry scrubbing process chosen for
comparison follows the same basic design premises and
criteria as the magnesia processes. For 99% dust removal on
coal-fired units, a single-stage venturi scrubber is used.
Based on TVA pilot plant test and vendor data, a
three-stage mobile bed scrubber is used for 90% SO2
removal. The particulate scrubber utilizes part of the 10%
solids slurry from the SO2 absorber effluent as scrubbing
liquid at a rate of 15 gal/Macf. A liquid to gas ratio of 40
gal/Macf is used in the SO2 absorber. Makeup limestone is
wet ground and added as a 55% solids slurry at a 130%
stoichiometric rate. Stack gas reheat to 175° F uses the
same methods as outlined for magnesia systems.
Since solids disposal is such a major consideration in
throwaway process economics, both variable, low-cost
on-site pond disposal and higher off-site disposal at $6/ton
of solids are covered. In both cases, closed loop water
recirculation is provided. Given in figure 58 is the effect of
variation in solids disposal cost on annual limestone-wet
scrubbing operating cost. To better reflect the apparent
wide range of costs associated with limestone scrubbing
between rural and metropolitan locations, along with the
high and low solids disposal costs, high and low values of
limestone raw material prices are also incorporated. In
other words, two sets of limestone wet scrubbing operating
costs are prepared, one for systems having low limestone
and variable on-site solids disposal costs and another for
those units with higher limestone and off-site solids disposal
costs. In many cases, the actual costs will probably fall
between the two extremes used.
Fixed Investment
The numerous fixed investment estimates are based on
extensive vendor contacts, which produced definitive equip-
ment proposals for several of the key process operations.
Companies contributing to the depth and accuracy of the
equipment costs are listed elsewhere. In addition, authorita-
tive publications on cost estimating are used for the minor
items such as tanks and pumps. After process equipment
costs are determined, area installation expense is added—the
magnesia process costs being estimated from layout and
arrangement drawings given in Appendix B, and the
limestone costs being determined from study drawings for
TVA's Widows Creek scrubbing project. Labor and material
breakdowns are prepared by design and cost specialists for
the base case estimate and scaled to fit the case deviations.

oil storage, product storage, and building needs for motor
control, laboratory, locker, and process control space. The
investment for on-site disposal ponds for fly ash is not
included in the magnesia and limestone estimates as the
power plant would be expected to provide this cost
regardless of provisions for S02 removal. In the limestone

disposal is on-site. Investment for service areas such as
maintenance shops, stores, communication, security, and
offices is allocated on the basis of equipment costs and
personnel needs of both power plant and stack gas clean-up
facilities. Current TVA practice is used as a guide in this
effort. For utilities, investment costs are included for
distribution facilities, but not for generation facilities. As
required in each process area, necessary electrical sub-
stations and conduit, steam, process water, fire control
water, and compressed air distribution piping are included.
The sum of all above items is called direct investment.
To the direct investment is added the indirect costs for
the project, which include engineering design and project
supervision, construction expense, contractor fees, and
contingency. The percentages of direct investment used to
estimate these items are shown in table 41.
In keeping with Federal Power Commission accounting
practice, allowances are included for start-up and
modifications plus interest during construction at
8%/annum. Applied as a percentage of total cost, these
allowances are 10% for start-up and 4% for interest. The
above percentages are used for the appropriate Scheme A,
B, and C cases and for 200-mw, 500-mw, and 1000-mw
cases of Scheme D. For the 2000-mw and 3000-mw
regeneration-acid plants considered off-site for Scheme D,
the percentages listed for new 1000-mw units are applied.
Slightly different values are used in the limestone-wet
scrubbing estimates, reflecting less complex engineering

Working capital requirements are calculated for each case
evaluated. As described later, the total of fixed investment
and working capital is used in the profitability calculations
for determination of return on total investment. For the
present study, working capital is defined as the total of 3
weeks of raw materials cost (plus shipping costs between

defined on operating cost sheets in Appendix A), and 7
weeks of overhead cost (as defined on operating cost sheets
in Appendix A). No provisions are included for accounts
receivable (unpaid billings).
Operating Costs
To present meaningful operating cost estimates, many
ground rules and inputs must be defined. Several of the
ground rules such as plant life, operating hours/year,
process operating conditions, and rates are given in the
Study Assumption and Design Criteria section. Others,
including raw materials and shipping costs, labor rates, and
capital charges are defined here to permit calculation of
annual, lifetime, and unit operating costs. All operating cost
estimates include the appropriate cost of fly ash and/or
calcium solids disposal.
Raw materials—Magnesia process raw materials include
magnesium oxide for scrubbing slurry or solution makeup
and carbon for reducing magnesium sulfate in the calciner.
Both of these materials can be obtained in several forms;
however, the need to hold process contamination to a
minimum reduces the number of available choices.
Magnesium oxide can be obtained commercially from
several companies in one or more forms such as calcined
magnesite (dry, 98% MgO), agricultural grade calcined
magnesite (dry, 87-92% MgO), magnesium hydroxide (dry,
98% Mg(OH)2), magnesium hydroxide slurry (35-50%
Mg(OH)2 in water), and raw, uncalcined magnesite (dry,
45% MgO). Given in table 42 are the f.o.b. costs of these
materials both in bulk form and as 100% MgO.
The costs in table 42 do not include shipping which, in
most cases, will add considerably to the total charges.
Points of material origin include Gabbs, Nevada; St. Louis,
Michigan; Ludington, Michigan; Freeport, Texas; and Port
St. Joe, Florida. Raw magnesite, the least expensive form of
MgO at the point of origin, is found only in Nevada;
therefore, considerable shipping cost will be incurred to
supply it to customers in the eastern United States. Total
cost to the two locations given particular emphasis in this

report, Chicago and Philadelphia, would be $90 and
$109/ton 100% MgO, respectively.
The other four materials can be obtained from most of
the listed locations; therefore, their total cost will be
influenced less by shipping charges, especially the calcined
magnesite (9 8% MgO).
Of the five materials, only the calcined magnesite (98%
MgO) and magnesium hydroxide (both dry and slurry form)
are low in impurities. Until experience is gained from
long-term operation, it has been assumed that the impurity
level of raw, uncalcined magnesite and agricultural grade
calcined magnesite would require excessive recycle or
decontamination cost. Dolomitic limestone should also be
considered in the same category.
Taking into consideration both economic and process
requirements, the calcined magnesite containing approxi-
mately 98% MgO should be considered as the prime
magnesia source. This material is produced by calcination
of magnesium hydroxide from sea water and natural brines.
A typical chemical composition is as follows:
Magnesium oxide, % 97-99 0
Calcium oxide, % 0.55-1.00
Silca (Si02), %
Iron oxide (Fe20 3), %
0.20-0.40
0.05-0.25
Aluminum oxide (A1203), % 0.04-0.20
The material is a fine, crystalline powder with a bulk
density of about 20-30 Ibs/cu ft.
82
-------
For purposes of calculating process operating cost, the
magnesium oxide cost to a Chicago customer is considered
to be $102.40/ton delivered and to a Philadelphia
customer, $128.40/ton delivered.
The most suitable form of carbon for addition to the
calciner is probably high grade coke. Other reductants such
as coal, excess fuel oil, natural gas, or hydrogen might tend
to promote H2S formation or increase ash contamination in
the system. Although some of these fuels, coal in particular,
are less expensive than coke, considerable additional
calcination research is needed before they can be
considered.
Based on contract high purity coke prices to TVA during
1971, the delivered cost of coke is predicted to be
$23.50/ton. Petroleum coke cost would be less ($5-
$10/ton); however, its impurity level may be too high.
Since coke cost is a minor part of the process cost, using a
high purity coke will not add appreciably to total operating
requirements.
In addition to the primary raw materials, makeup
catalyst (usually vanadium pentoxide) is required for the
sulfuric acid plant. This can be in either extruded,
pelletized, or spherical shapes, depending on the original
charge provided by the plant designer. Cost is expected to
be about $1.51/liter.
An additional raw material required for Scheme B is
manganese dioxide. In the variation researched by Grillo-
Werke AG, pyrolusite, a natural ore found in Africa and
containing 87% plus Mn02, is used as an activator for the
MgO-S02 reaction. A few U. S. companies import this
material and process it in relatively small quantities. For
such quantities as required by MgO-Mn02 scrubbing of
stack gas, indications are that ground pyrolusite can be
delivered to midwestern power plants for $90/ton.
In defining the operating costs of the limestone-wet
scrubbing process, the cost of limestone has major signifi-
cance. Data from a recent report by M. W. Kellogg (53)
indicate the costs of limestone delivered to various U. S.
power plants range from $1.95 to $13.20/ton; at least half
of the power plants in the eastern U. S. could be supplied at
$4/ton or less; and all but three could obtain limestone for
less than $6/ton. In separate studies made in the TVA area,
prices were found to range from $2.05 to $4.05/ton
delivered. Since the use of limestone-wet scrubbing as a
process comparison should reflect the possible variance in
limestone costs, operating cost projections will cover both
high and low cost raw material. The high cost will be
$6/ton and the low cost $2.05/ton. Shown in figure 59 is
the effect of limestone cost on the total annual operating
cost of the limestone-wet scrubbing process.
Shipping cost—central processing concept—To fully
define the economics of the central processing concept
(multi-location scrubbing and drying plus single location for
regeneration and acid manufacture), the shipping cost for
transferring magnesium sulfite and magnesium oxide
between locations must be included as part of the total
process operating cost. Furthermore, for display purposes,
it is necessary to assign the shipping costs to one or the
other operating cost summaries; that is, to the operating
cost for the scrubbing-drying operation or to that of the
regeneration-acid manufacturing operation. The assignment
is arbitrary; however, for purposes of this, the magnesium
sulfite shipping cost is included as part of the raw material
cost for the regeneration-acid manufacturing operation and
the magnesium oxide shipping cost is included as part of
the raw material cost for the scrubbing operation.
Combinations of scrubbing plant distances from the
central plant are almost limitless; therefore, to simplify
evaluation of shipping distance, all scrubbing-drying loca-
tions are assumed to be equidistant from the central
regeneration plant. Distances of 5, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150
miles from the central point are examined.
For magnesium sulfite shipping, 1972 rail rates are not
available; however, the magnesium sulfate rates shown in
table 43 can be used (covered hopper cars in the
Philadelphia and Chicago areas, not less than 80,000 Ibs).
Magnesium oxide shipping costs, as shown in table 44,
apply to Philadelphia and Chicago for rail shipment in
covered hopper cars, not less than 120,000 Ibs.
Estimated trucking costs for both magnesium sulfite and
magnesium oxide for the Philadelphia and Chicago areas are
shown in table 45, assuming 40,000-lb loads and mixed
loading, that is, some trucks hauling both ways and others

Profitability and Economic Potential using different rates
of escalation. With the present uncertainty of future labor
costs and productivity increases, it is not possible to
accurately predict the effect of labor rates on the total cost.
The base operating labor rate of $6/hr includes fringe
benefits and supervisory expense. The higher labor rates of
$10/hr used for laboratory work also includes benefits,
supplies, and supervisory expense.
Utilities-The costs of utilities to the process depend on
quantity, source, and accounting practice. The values used
are fully allocated costs, as if purchased from an independ-
ent source with full capital recovery provided for. As
quantities increase, the unit cost of utilities is decreased to
show some economy of scale. For existing power plants, it
is recognized that no excess steam, water, or electricity
would be available and that new investment would be
required by the independent source; the new investment is
not included in that shown for the process, but a higher
cost is charged to permit more rapid capital recovery than
for new plants. For new plants, the utility costs are the
same as would be charged to power plant operation by the
plant accountant since provision could be made to furnish
the necessary utilities in the original design and installation.
For those cases where a heat credit is taken for export
steam to the power unit system, the value of the credit is
based only on equivalent fuel cost.
Maintenance— Maintenance costs chargeable to the mag-
nesia processes are considered "best estimates." Indications
are that some scaling and corrosion-erosion will be encoun-
tered in the scrubber system, at least to a greater extent
than for processes not using slurry scrubbing. Solids
handling and calcining operations usually are maintenance
prone. Sulfuric acid plant maintenance is more easily
predicted since such plants have been in operation for
years. For purposes of this study, table 46 shows estimated
overall maintenance costs as a percent of magnesia process
investment.
Maintenance charges used in the limestone-wet scrubbing
estimates range from 6 to 9% of investment depending on
unit size. Experience from pilot plants and actual installa-
tions seem to support a higher maintenance charge as
compared to the magnesia system because of slurry acidity
(5.5-7.0 pH vs 7.0-8.5 pH for magnesia), the greatest
tendency to form scale deposits, and the apparently higher
erosive characteristics of the calcium sulfite crystal.
Capital charges— Estimation of operating cost is compli-
cated by the fact, as discussed in the ammonia scrubbing
conceptual design study (84), that projects for sulfur and
nitrogen oxides control in power plants may be financed on
different bases—the regulated power industry basis, the
nonregulated chemical industry practice, or a combination
of the two. This has a major effect on capital charge items
such as depreciation and taxes. Because of this important
factor, two sets (one regulated, one nonregulated) of
operating cost estimates are made for each of the magnesia
Scheme A, B, and C case combinations of plant size, power
unit status, fuel type, and sulfur content of fuel. For
Scheme D a single set of estimates is prepared; however, the
operating cost of the scrubbing-drying operation is assumed
to be under power industry economics (regulated) and the
regeneration-acid plant operation under chemical industry
economics. This so-called cooperative economics probably
best describes the type of combined venture for the central
process concept. It is the most likely financing method for
a magnesia system.
For the power industry (regulated utility economics),
the usual practice is followed of including in the capital
charges a regulated return on investment and the state and
Federal income taxes. A breakdown of the capital charges is
gjven in table 47. The depreciation rate is straight line,
based on the remaining life of the power plant after the
pollution control process is installed, and is a percentage of
initial fixed investment. Interim replacements and property
insurance are also based on original fixed investment.
However, because most regulatory commissions base the
annual premissible return on investment on the remaining
depreciation base (that portion of the original investment
yet to be recovered or "written off"), a portion of the
annual capital charge to be applied to the operating cost
declines uniformly over the life of the investment.
Annual return on equity, interest on outstanding debt,
and income taxes are established in the same manner. The
cost of money to the power industry is assumed to be 8%
interest on borrowed funds and 12% return on equity
money to attract investors. Assuming a capital structure of
50% debt and 50% equity, the overall cost of money under

k Applied on an average basis, the total annual percentage of original
fixed investment would be 4.5% + % (20.80%) = 14.90%.
regulated economics comes to 10%. Federal income taxes
are assumed to be 50% of gross income and state tax is
assumed to be 80% of the national tax; the resulting figure
is higher than for nonregulated industry, but is about the
nationwide average for power companies.
All operating cost estimates for the nonrecovery, lime-
stone wet scrubbing process are calculated on a regulated
economic basis.
For chemical industry financing (nonregulated econom-
ics), the only capital charges applied are depreciation, local
taxes, and insurance. Hence the estimates are not directly
comparable with those for power company financing
because the latter include return on investment and income
tax. Moreover, the depreciation rate for the nonregulated
economics basis (10%), which is commonly used in the
industry, is much higher than for regulated economics
(3.33% for 30 years).
Using different bases for the estimates is confusing, but
is necessary as these are the approaches that may be
actually used in practice. The encountered difficulty is that
the regulated and nonregulated bases can not be directly
compared. The fairly well defined return on investment for
the power company makes a low rate of depreciation
acceptable, and return on investment can be logically
included in production cost because it is a fixed charge
usually passed on to the power customer. For the chemical
company, however, a relatively high rate of depreciation is
needed because of the risk factor, and return on investment
is quite variable because it can not always be passed on to
the customer as a cost item.
Results
A summary of fixed investment for 29 Scheme A, B, and C
cases plus comparative estimates for nonrecovery limestone-
wet scrubbing with on-site solids disposal pond is presented
in table 48. The magnesia process estimates are shown by
functional area in tables A-l to A-23 in Appendix A. A
similar analysis of limestone scrubbing investment is given
in table A-32 of Appendix A.
The results for Scheme A, the basic slurry process, range
from $5,148,000 ($25.7/kw) for a new 200-mw oil-fired
unit to $36,634,000 ($36.6/kw) for an existing 1000-mw
coal-fired unit. Comparable investments for limestone-wet
scrubbing are $4,981,000 ($24.9/kw) and $30,041,000
($30.0/kw). Investments for Scheme B, the MgO-Mn02
variation, are barely higher for comparable cases (less than
3% higher), primarily because of greater material handling
costs due to inerts and Mn02 plus more dilute calciner
off gas to the sulfuric acid unit (13% S02 vs 16% for
Scheme A). Comparable Scheme C results are lower than
either slurry process, with savings coming from single stage
scrubbing (vs two stages for other coal-fired schemes) and
reduced process throughput due to less effective SO2
removal.
Given in table 49 is an equipment, labor, and material
cost breakdown for the direct investment of the process
areas in the Scheme A base case (new 500-mw coal-fired
Unit burning coal containing 3.5% sulfur). Table 50 shows
the same type breakdown for the limestone-wet scrubbing
process with on-site solids disposal. The values in these
tables can be used to scale costs to other sizes. Note,
however, that building and service facilities are not included
in these breakdowns.
The summarized results of table 48 are further consid-
ered in figures 60 to 67 which describe the effect of unit
size, unit status, fuel type and sulfur content of fuel on
total fixed investment.
During the preparation of the magnesia cost estimates,
some doubt was expressed by a process developer as to the
need for several provisions included in the proposed
conceptual designs. Items questioned in particular are:
1. The use of rubber-lined piping in the scrubber
circulation and slurry processing systems instead of carbon
steel as used in the ^Boston Edison demonstration.

e performance and the fourth provision offers considerable
e operating cost savings (lower fuel requirements in dryer) if
operationally feasible. Since the need for these provisions
d can only be determined from actual demonstration opera-
0 tion over a period of time, this study provides for their

Another potential route to reduction of magnesia
process investment requirements is the use of an existing
sulfuric acid plant. In most such cases, new gas purification
facilities, estimated at 40% of the cost of a new acid unit,
would need to be installed. The existing heat exchangers,
converter, absorber and storage tanks could be used,
thereby saving considerable new investment as shown in
table 52. It is difficult, however, to predict how such
savings would affect overall process economics (operating
cost, potential profitability). Most accepted accounting
procedures would still require all investment utilized,
regardless of new or existing status, to be depreciated and
to earn a return. Since the age and condition of the existing
acid unit would influence the capital charges applied, each
case would have to be evaluated with care. It should be
pointed out that other chargeable operating costs such as
labor, utilities, and maintenance would not be reduced by
using an existing acid plant.
The fixed investment requirements for Scheme D, the
central processing concept, are summarized in table 53 and
shown in detail in tables A-24 to A-31 in Appendix A. As
can be seen in figure 68, Scheme D requires about 6% more
investment than Scheme A, which represents the same
process technique, but with all facilities at the same site.
For combinations of 200-mw, 500-mw, and 1000-mw
scrubbing facilities coupled with various-size central
regeneration-acid plants, figure 69 describes the effect of
total system size in megawatts on total fixed investment.
Given in table 54 are the process unit sizes in megawatts
and the equivalent sulfuric acid capacity when burning coal
with 3.5% sulfur content.
Although a single Scheme D system is moi° costly than a
single Scheme A facility, desirable investment economy can

be achieved when multiboiler combinations are considered
as shown in table 55.
Presented in table 56 is a summary of annual and unit
operating costs (7,000 hrs/yr) for magnesia Schemes A, B,
and C under regulated (power industry) economics. Com-
parison with both high and low cost limestone scrubbing
(1972 cost basis) is also provided. Except for the 200-mw
cases, the magnesia operating costs fall between the high
and low limestone cost values.
Magnesia process annual and unit operating costs under
nonregulated economics are shown in table 57. As would be
expected, the nonregulated values are lower than the
regulated cost results since profit and income taxes are not
included; however, comparison of the two sets of values has
little meaning since their derivation purposes are different.
Lifetime operating costs for power unit operating
profiles given earlier are summarized in table 58 for selected
magnesia process cases. As apparent, operating costs over a
30-year power unit life are quite significant. Keep in mind
that these particular values do not include provision for
labor and materials inflation which most assuredly will
increase the expected costs.
Details backing the summarized results are given in
tables A-33 to A-80 in Appendix A. For Schemes A, B, and
C, 46 operating cost tables are included, 23 for regulated
and 23 for nonregulated examples. In addition, two
limestone-wet scrubbing operating cost estimates for a new
500-mw coal-fired unit with 3.5% sulfur in the fuel are
included. One estimate covers a low cost limestone system;
the other covers the high cost example.
Note that the annual capital charges (percent of fixed
investment) shown in the regulated base tables are average
values since it is not practical to present the variable
declining balance portion of the charge (see table 47) used
in regulated cost analysis. The average capital charge
multiplied by the number of years of operation will give the
same actual outlay of dollars as the declining balance
calculation; however, the present worth of the two methods
will be different (discounted to 1972 dollars). There is, of

course, another method (sinking fund depreciation plus
interest, or capital recovery factor) of presenting a single
annual percentage of initial investment which will give the
same present worth of the lifetime capital charges as the
declining balance calculation approach, but the actual
dollar outlay will be different. Of the two procedures, the
average capital charge method has been chosen for annual
operating cost tables because it can incorporate straight line
depreciation, thus permitting simpler adjustment of the
percentage of initial investment for power units with
various remaining lives.
Using the tables of Appendix A for 7,000 hrs/yr
operation, the effects of several variables on magnesia
process operating costs are shown graphically in figures 70
to 82.
The annual and unit operating costs for Scheme D case
combinations are shown in table 59 for operation at each

passing the costs incurred in the scrubbing-drying

operation to the raw material costs of the regeneration-acid
manufacturing operation. This procedure is used only for
the individual Scheme D cost sheets shown in Appendix A
under tables A-81 to A-94. In the Profitability and

Shipping distance, miles
Figure 86. Effect of shipping distance on unit cost of acid
for combinations of Scheme D scrubbing and

As can be derived from tables 56 and 59, a single unit
Scheme D system has a higher operating cost than com-
parable single-site Scheme A facilities; however, when
multiple units are considered, the potential economy is
improved as indicated in table 60. In addition, the results
indicate that the smaller the power units making up the
system, the greater the potential economy of central
processing over single-site processing.
The effect of shipping distance on total annual operating
cost for single 200-mw, 500-mw, and 1000-mw Scheme D
systems is shown in figure 85. In addition, figure 86
displays the effect of shipping distance on unit cost of acid
for combinations of 500-mw scrubbing-drying units coupled
with a central regeneration-acid production unit.

PROFITABILITY AND ECONOMIC POTENTIAL
For nonrecovery stack gas desulfurization processes such as
limestone-wet scrubbing, no sale of product is involved;
therefore, identification of investment and operating costs
provides sufficient measure for comparison with some
alternate methods of pollution control. However, for
recovery processes such as magnesia scrubbing-regeneration,
which yield a salable product, a more extensive evaluation
(83) is required including the estimation of product sales
credit or revenue, the preparation of cash flow projections
over the years of power unit life, and the use of recognized
standards for measuring profitability of capital
expenditures.
Estimation of sales revenue can be particularly difficult
since many factors including plant location, plant operating
flexibility, plant capacity, sales volume, and marketing
policy affect competition with new and existing sources of
sulfur based products. In this report, a cursory market
investigation is presented to establish a basis for making this
rather hazardous forecast; however, it is recognized that a
more complete, thorough study of the sulfur, sulfuric acid,
and related markets is needed for accurate assessment of
product value.
In the market analysis given herein, consideration is
focused on defining historical sulfuric acid capacity, pro-
duction, consumption, and market growth, spotlighting
grades of acid and end-uses, plus locating acid plants and
power plants for the purpose of predicting the best end-use
markets for the acid, market location, and pricing policy.
Using assumed sales values along with the appropriate
investment and operating cost data, year-by-year computer-
calculated cash flows are prepared under regulated eco-
nomics (declining depreciation base) for each of the 29
magnesia process cases cited earlier and compared directly
with the limestone-wet scrubbing process which has no sales
revenue. In addition, appropriate nonregulated cash flows
are also projected and profitability determined for the
magnesia processes. The evaluation of the central processing
concept under cooperative economics (scrubbing-drying,
regulated; regeneration-acid manufacture, nonregulated) is
more complex than the methods used for either regulated
or nonregulated economics alone; therefore, a modified set
of assumptions will be used for Scheme D.
Marketing
The primary product of magnesia scrubbing processes,
sulfuric acid, is the most widely manufactured chemical in
the world. In 1970, approximately 91,000,000 metric tons,
100% H2S04 equivalent, were produced; 69,743,000 tons
in the noncommunist countries and 21,249,000 tons in the
communist nations (9). This represented an increase of 5%
over 1969 figures and an 8% increase over 1968. For North
America, the U. S. and Canada, 27,735,000 metric tons of
acid were produced, an increase of only 2.5% over the
previous year. The U. S. alone manufactured over 91% of
this quantity and the U. S. production of 25,260,000
metric tons represents an increase of 64% since 1960.
Consumption of sulfuric acid in the U. S. in 1970 was
approximately 3.8% greater than in 1969, which is a
slightly larger increase than for production (10). Approxi-
mately 28,675,000 metric tons were consumed, 13% more
than manufactured during the year. Most of the difference
came from inventories as very little acid is imported, only
about 90-150,000 metric tons/yr.
From U. S. Department of Commerce data (93), a
summary of sulfuric acid production in short tons for each
month of 1972 is shown in table 61. The total represents an
increase of approximately 5.5% over 1971 production.
Current manufacturing capacity for sulfuric acid
approaches 40 million short tons of acid/year with more

than half of capacity committed to captive use. Available
data (14) indicates that in 1966, only about 13 million tons
were marketed out of approximately 28 million tons
produced. As shown in figure 87, states having the most
capacity for acid manufacture include Florida (Tampa
region), Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey, and Illinois. A
state-by-state breakdown of capacity as of 1970 is shown in
table 62. Of the 200 or so plants in the U. S., 170 utilize
the contact process and the remainder the chamber process.
Chamber acid output is estimated to be about one-half
million tons/year or less than 2% of the total production.
Individual acid plant sizes have been on the increase for
several years, with some units of 3,000 tons/day capacity in
operation (13). The larger plants are usually part of large
fertilizer complexes using acid captively. Most plants use
sulfur as the raw material, approximately 75% in 1966;
however, the number of plants processing pyrites, smelter
gases, acid sludge, and hydrogen sulfide are increasing as
more stringent pollution control laws come into play. At
this time, only demonstration systems for catalytic oxida-
tion (EPA-Monsanto- Illinois Power) and magnesia scrubbing
(EPA-Chemico-Basic-Boston Edison) are producing sulfuric
acid from power plant offgas. More acid is sure to come
from this source.
Based on data from industry sources the major end-uses
of sulfuric acid in the U. S. are given in table 63 with the
quantities being shown for 1970. As can be seen, the
predominant consumer of sulfuric acid is chemical fertil-
izer. In 1970, North American consumption of sulfuric acid
for fertilizer manufacture represented approximately 54%

of the total quantity of sulfuric acid consumed (9)
compared to approximately 43% during 1969 (8).
Although most of the sulfuric acid consumed in fertilizer
manufacture is concentrated, high quality material, wet
process phosphoric acid produced by reacting sulfuric acid
with phosphate rock can be made with off-grade acid. For
the other end-uses of sulfuric acid, high purity and high
concentration are almost mandatory.
As is apparent from table 63, sulfuric acid has a wide
variety of uses, some of which are based on excellent
physcial properties, but most on cost. Sulfuric acid is very
often preferred over other mineral acids, chemicals or
different process technology because it is the least expen-
sive alternative. For example, in phosphate rock acidula-
tions and phosphoric acid manufacture, its major end-use, it
is the lowest cost acidulant available. There was a period in
the late 1960's when this was under challenge as sulfur
prices rose to higher levels; however, the sulfur shortage was

short in duration and supply soon exceeded demand,
driving prices back down to recent lows.
Sulfuric acid is an excellent drying agent and is used in
such applications as chlorine and nitric acid drying, DDT
and chloral production, and in nitration reactions. The acid
is an effective catalyst for many hydrocarbon and organic
chemical syntheses, such as formations of petroleum
alkylate from olefins and a paraffin, or the Beckman
rearrangement of cyclohexane oxime to caprolactam for
nylon fiber manufacture. It has been suggested that this
characteristic is associated with its strong affinity for water.
Sulfuric acid readily forms organic sulfates with many
hydrocarbons which are easily hydrolized to yield desirable
organics; this property is useful in the manufacture of
pehnol and certain alcohols.
The acid has a high boiling point which limits volatiliza-
tion losses in leaching, acidulation, and pickling operations.
It is commonly specified as an electrolyte for batteries,
used as a bath in cellulose processing, consumed in the
manufacture of chromates, used in hydrogen fluoride
production from fluorspar, and serves to process ore for
titanium dioxide and uranium manufacture.
Sulfuric acid is made and used in a variety of
concentrations which are usually indicated as follows:
% H2SO4 or °Baume-The simplest description of
sulfuric acid concentration is % H2SO4. However, because
of the distinct relationship between specific gravity and
strength (up to 93%) and the simplicity of measuring
specific gravity by hydrometer, most acid concentrations
up to 93% are expressed as degrees Baume. From 93 to
100%, acids are referred to by concentration. These are the
products assumed in this study.
Monohydmte-This is 100%H2SO4.
Oleum—Acids stronger than 100% H2S04, containing
free S03, are called oleums or fuming acids and are usually
described in terms of S03 content. For example, a 20%
oleum is comprised of 20% S03 and 80% H2S04 ; however,
in terms of acid content equivalent, it is expressed as
104.50% H2S04. Oleum is not considered as a product in
this study.
Table 64 shows a few typical acid strengths and their
major end-uses (14).
A complete market study of a chemical such as sulfuric
acid is beyond the scope of this report; however, to
properly assess the economic potential of stack gas pro-
cesses for sulfur dioxide recovery and conversion to acid, a
limited investigation is included. Hopefully, in the near
future, a thorough market study for sulfur products from
power plants and smelter sources can be completed.
For basic economic evaluation, several items need
specific coverage including market outlook, market loca-
tion, best end-use market, and pricing policy. Although
sulfuric acid is a large volume chemical with numerous
outlets, difficulty will be encountered in marketing all of
the acid produced from power plant stack gas at an
attractive price. Furthermore, production volume, which is
normally a prime variable in marketing, is set by the power
plant size and all material produced must be disposed
readily regardless of demand.
Currently, there are some spot shortages in the sulfuric
acid industry (86) even though capacity is estimated at
about 40 million tons/yr and consumption at only 30-31
million tons/yr. Several of the smaller plants have been
shutdown recently due to production economics and
environmental impact of S02 removal, and many of the
new large (1,000 tpd and larger) units are captive, operating
at rates matching internal demand. Although recent growth
in acid consumption has slowed, the long range rate is
estimated to be about 4-6%/yr which is closely tied to the
fertilizer growth pattern.
At least for several years, both supply and price
competition are expected to increase from sources of sulfur
dioxide emission which are- subject to increasingly tough air
pollution laws. Both fossil-fueled power plants and western
smelters are being pressed to clean up their emissions at a
time when their respective products, electrical energy and
non-ferrous metals," are undergoing rapid growth. At the
same time, a rapidly growing need for clean fuels has
resulted in an increase in natural gas production both in the
U. S. and Canada, such that more and more byproduct sour
gas sulfur is being made available for low cost sulfuric acid
manufacture. Already, the Canadian sour gas operations are
moving large tonnages of sulfur to market at prices as low
as $5-12/ton f.o.b. The natural gas is much more valuable
than the byproduct sulfur and will continue to be produced
regardless of value received for the sulfur.
Especially on the East Coast where byproduct sulfur is
more expensive, Chemico reports that there is much
interest'by major sulfuric acid marketers to use offgas S02
as a raw material in place of elemental sulfur for acid
manufacture. This interest particularly covers existing acid
plants, many of which will require upgrading to meet new
S02 emission standards. The construction of new and larger
acid plants to replace a number of smaller and less efficient
existing plants is also of considerable interest in a number
of areas. The marriage of an acid plant and one or more
power plants is attractive to both parties since these
industries represent two of the most reliable and consistent
types of operations in American industry with long life
periods of 30-40 years. The acid plant requires a consistent
source of sulfur values at competitive prices while the
utility requires an assured home for the S02 it produces.
Location of the power plant equipped with a magnesia
scrubbing process and producing sulfuric acid will have
major influence on process economics (for location of
major U. S. power plants burning coal or oil, see figure 88)
(30). It is expensive to ship sulfuric acid very far, with
150-200 miles being a practical limit for most rail and truck

loads. For longer distances, acid could be shipped eco-
nomically by barge. The major U. S. markets for sulfuric
acid are concentrated on the East and Gulf Coasts. At
present, the States of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois,
and New Jersey consume close to half the U. S. total acid
output with Florida taking one-quarter of the total.
Waterways in these areas would allow transport of large
quantities of acid for long distances at competitive prices.
Similarly, it is possible to place a central processing plant
some distance from the power units and incur transport
costs for the MgO and MgS03 between the plants involved.
Florida is a major acid market since the reserves of
phosphate rock are plentiful for fertilizer manufacture.
Currently, sulfur is barged-in from Mexico, Texas, and
Louisiana and with sulfur at $24/long ton f.o.b. and freight
at $4-5/ton, Florida sulfuric acid can be produced for
$10-15/shortton.
With such large quantities of acid as can be produced by
a large power plant (378 tons/day, 500-mw, 3.5% S in coal)
or central process acid complex (3000-mw equivalent,
2,000 tpd acid), the best end-use market appears to be the
phosphate fertilizer industry. One of several devices could
be utilized to improve economics, either long-term purchase
contracts, on-site fertilizer plant adjacent to power plant, or
barge shipments of product acid to large fertilizer com-
plexes. The other end-use markets could be pursued also;
however, such markets could place great pressures on single
unit operation for a steady, continuous source of acid.
With the exception of Illinois, most of the large acid
consuming areas are served by power plants fueled with oil
or gas. In addition, nuclear plants are moving into Florida.
The best location for a power plant equipped with a
sulfuric acid producing system appears to be in the
Midwest, preferably Illinois with its abundance of high
sulfur coal. The Midwest, of course, consumes great
quantities of phosphate fertilizer (54% of national con-
sumption) and currently, intermediate phosphatic materials
are shipped by barge from Florida to the Midwest; however,
if low cost acid were available, it might be feasible to ship
phosphate rock to the Midwest and process with local acid.
Consumption statistics for phosphatic fertilizer in the
midwestern states are shown in table 65 (90).
Assuming 2.7 tons of sulfuric acid/ton P2OS (an average
figure), approximately 10,980,000 tons of sulfuric acid
could have been utilized" in 1970 for phosphate fertilizers
consumed in the listed states. This is equivalent to over
45,000-mw of power plant capacity.
Marketing sulfuric acid in large quantities requires some
product flexibility; that is, more than one concentration of

acid should be available for sale. Indications are that three
concentrations dominate 80% of the market, 60° Be (78%),
66° Be (93%), and 98%. Any plant producing for the
merchant market (non-captive) would probably need
minimum storage facilities for three products for 30 days.
In addition to storage needs, 70-75 tank cars or several
barges would be required to transport the production of a
500-mw power unit to market. If these cars or barges can
be purchased or leased on a long-term basis, shipping costs
in the range of $l-2/ton can sometimes be achieved.
Estimated commercial shipping costs for sulfuric acid
moved by rail and truck for Chicago and Philadelphia
locations are shown in table 66.
Current 1972 list prices for tank car quantities of
sulfuric acid (100% basis) range from $30-34/ton. Usually,
these prices are discounted for volume consumers to a range
of $20-28/ton, 100% acid. Although some quantities from a
power plant may be disposed of at these prices, the volumes
produced by large power units will result in a pricing policy
somewhat less dependent on current market values. The
major factors affecting the pricing policy of byproduct
sulfuric acid are:
1. Area competitive forces.
2. The cost of sulfur to existing plants.
3. The flexibility of acid unit operation to match
demand.
In addition, as with any sulfuric acid market, the distances
of customers from available acid sources will influence net
revenue to the manufacturer. For a midwestern location,
current prices of sulfur from the Gulf Coast would permit
an acid manufacturing cost of $12-16/ton, whereas
Canadian sulfur at $5-8/long ton and freight costs of
$14-16/ton would yield an acid cost of $10-14/ton. These
values include capital'charges which, if neglected for those
plants operating on margin only, would reduce acid values
to $8-10 minimum f.o.b. cost.
For midwestern acid producers, the stiffest competition
for sale of sulfuric acid to fertilizer plants would be the
processing and shipment of fertilizers from Florida. For
phosphate rock to be shipped to the Midwest for acidula-
tion and the resultant pro'ducts to remain competitive with
the processed material from Florida, sulfuric acid from
midwestern power plants would need to be available for
about $4-1 I/ton delivered. This means that the fertilizer
plant needs to be close to the acid plant to minimize
transportation costs.
For purposes of this study, it will be assumed that for
the first 10 years of operation, the net sales revenue
(revenue after all sales and shipping expense deducted) for
acid consumed in all markets averages $8/ton when
supplied from single-site power-acid systems. To give more
complete coverage, this value will be subjected to sensitivity
analysis in the economic evaluation by varying the net sales
revenue from $0-32/ton. In addition, after the tenth year of

operation, net sales revenue will be assumed to drop to
$5/ton due to the increasing competition from other
byproduct sources of acid.
It is entirely probable that the acid produced in central
acid processing systems (Scheme D) would command a
higher price than for inflexible single-site systems.
Assuming better choice of location and flexible operating
rates, a net sales revenue averaging $12/ton is predicted for
the 10 years of central process unit life.
Regulated Economic Evaluation
The basic premise of regulated economics ascribes that the
power company will be permitted to charge electricity
customers sufficiently to earn up to a prescribed return on
106
-------
base investment. Since electrical power producers rarely
compete with each other in a given geographical area,
regulation of power rates is necessary to prohibit unreason-
able profits, but at the same time assure an adequate return
on investment sufficient to attract capital for expansion to
meet growing demand. In the United States, regulation is
usually the responsibility of state or local agencies with the
Federal Power Commission responsible for setting guide-
lines for accounting procedures and for rates on interstate
transactions.
If a power company provides all or a portion of the
investment for pollution abatement facilities, its investment
will almost certainly be merged with the total power plant
investment as is presently done with dust removal equip-
ment and, therefore, increase the "rate base" on which the
utility is allowed to earn at the rate set by the regulatory
commission. Thus, a return on equity or profit must be
included in any process evaluation under regulated
economics; it is the "cost of money" as any other operating
cost item such as fuel or labor.
As with previous conceptual design studies, the regulated
"cost of money" is added to operating costs as part of the
capital charges applied (see table 47 of Investment and
Operating Cost section). For nonrecovery processes, a
direct comparison of total operating costs will generally
serve as a means of process evaluation; however, sales
revenue must be recognized for processes producing a
product. In addition, the annual operating cost will vary
each year as the rate base declines due to depreciation
"write off (the cost of money and income taxes are
applied to undepreciated portion of investment) and with
any changes in onstream time of the power unit; therefore,
it is desirable to have a year-to-year tabulation of operating
costs for any given case. Furthermore, recognizing the time
value of money, these annual operating costs should be
discounted at the cost of money (10% for this study) to the
initial year of operation for ready comparison of present
worth to other pollution control means such as the annual
costs required for low sulfur fuels.
Since rate of investment profitability is prescribed under
regulated economics, the data generated by the tabulation
of operating costs only indicate which process or method of
pollution abatement yields the minimum cost to the
consumer. Depending on the achievable net sales revenue,
the process or method used will either increase or decrease
the cost of power to the consumer.
Tables A-95 to A-132, presented in Appendix A, are
computer printouts which show year-to-year operating
costs under regulated economics, projected sales revenue,
and the resultant cost effect on power consumers for the 29
magnesia Scheme A, B, and C cases over their expected
project life. Included in these tables are comparable
limestone-wet scrubbing operating costs with examples
shown for both the low and high cost variations. Actual
outlay values are given for each year along with the
discounted and actual cumulative total costs and unit costs
either per ton of coal burned, per barrel of oil burned, or
mills per kilowatt hour. A summary of these results is
shown in table 67 for the 30-year life of new 200-mw,
500-mw, and 1000-mw units burning coal containing 3.5%
S or oil containing 2.5% S. Shown in table 68 is a
comparison of cumulative present worth of magnesia and
limestone costs over the project life for several other coal-
and oil-fired unit case variations.
These results are shown graphically in figures 89 and 90
which describe the effect of power unit size on cumulative
present worth of the total and unit change in the cost of
power over the life of new coal-fired units utilizing either
the magnesia schemes or limestone-wet scrubbing for S02
removal. Figure 91 describes the same effect for oil-fired
units. With acid sales revenue at $8/ton. the costs of the
magnesia schemes are between the extremes of the
limestone-wet scrubbing process; however, at low unit sizes,
the magnesia Scheme A and B costs are greater than the
high cost limestone example. As unit size increases, the
magnesia schemes become much more competitive. Table
69 gjves the acid sales revenue per ton required for each
magnesia scheme to yield the same overall cost as the
limestone-wet scrubbing examples.
Displayed in figures 92 and 93 is the effect of sulfur
content of coal and oil on the change in cost of power due
to magnesia Scheme A and limestone-wet scrubbing.
The effect of 7,000 hrs/yr of constant operating time
over the life of the power unit can be seen in figures 94 and
95. These values should be compared to those in figures 89
and 90 which represent the declining onstream pattern.
Another interesting point can be examined in figure 96
which describes the change in cost of power for power units
of varying remaining life and years of 7,000 hour operation.
The operating period for the existing units is assumed to
follow the same schedule as for new units, with the number
of years of 7,000 hour operation being the only period
reduced.
The relationship of fixed investment on net cost is
shown in figures 97 and 98 using sensitivity analysis of
investment for Scheme A on coal- and oil-fired systems.
Shown in figures 99 and 100 are the cumulative total
and unit cost effects of variations in net sales revenue for
single-site Scheme A. For Scheme A to yield the same
increase in cost of power as the low cost limestone-wet
scrubbing example, a revenue of approximately $16-20/ton
of acid would have to be realized. This is slightly lower than
the current going f.o.b. price of acid marketed by existing
producers. When compared to the high cost wet limestone
example, the magnesia Scheme A does not need any
revenue from acid sales to be competitive.
Most of the operating cost estimates given in this report
reflect no labor cost escalation over the life of the system;

IMonregulated Economic Evaluation
If chemical companies or other nonregulated business
groups enter into sulfuric acid production by using a
magnesia scrubbing-regeneration process on a power unit,
either contributing all or part of the required investment,
profitability of the venture becomes of paramount
importance. A nonregulated company, with.no guarantee of
income or profitability and with all the uncertainties
associated with the future pricing of sulfur and related
products, must be able to see promise of a competitive rate
of return to justify capital expenditures on such a project.
The cost of recovering sulfur oxides as sulfuric acid and
the expected sales revenue of the acid have been estimated
previously. For single-site applications, one other source of
income can also be considered; namely, a payment by the
power producer to-the chemical company for performing
the service of pollution abatement. This seems reasonable
since the power company must incur a considerable cost in
any event for reducing the sulfur oxides in the gas (by
either purchasing low sulfur fuel at a premium, or
contributing necessary capital for the project itself).
The amount of payment presumably would be
negotiated between the two companies, and could range
from zero to the full cost of alternate throwaway processes
such as limestone-wet scrubbing. Again, there are several
alternatives available to a power company; however, the
cost of the limestone-wet scrubbing process can be varied
by the same parameters as recovery processes; therefore, it
should serve as a reasonable measure of possible payment.
Hence, the profitability estimates under nonregulated
economics have been calculated on three bases—full pay-
ment equivalent to either high or low cost limestone-wet
scrubbing and no payment. In practice, the expected
payment could be almost anywhere between the high
equivalent payment and none at all.
The question regarding the attractiveness of a process for
chemical industry investment can be answered best by
applying a venture appraisal method that relates profit-
making potential to the investment requirements. Several
types of venture appraisal techniques are used in nonregu-
lated industry; three of the more common ones (annual
return on initial investment, payout period, and interest
rate of return) have been calculated for all applicable cases
where nonregulated industry economics are involved. The

aMagnesia scrubbing operating cost without sulfuric acid revenue is
less than limestone scrubbing cost.
annual return on investment is defined as the annual net
income after taxes divided by the initial total investment
including working capital; the composite tax rate for
nonregulated industry is assumed to be 50% of gross
income. Payout period is the number of years required to
recover the initial investment by cash flow (depreciation
plus net income after taxes). Interest rate of return, often
referred to as discounted cash flow, is best described as the
interest rate at which the sum of the present worth of the
yearly receipts (depreciation plus after-tax profit) becomes
equal to the sum of the present worth of the disbursements.
Another definition is the interest rate a savings bank would
have to pay to accept and return cash on the same schedule
as the proposal. Of the three methods, only interest rate of
return recognizes the time value of money.
It is difficult to say what degree of profitability is large
enough to attract chemical investors to the magnesia
process since each company has its own criteria as to what
is considered an attractive venture; no standard can be set.
However, a rough concensus for new chemical ventures
appears to be greater than 10% annual return on investment
after taxes, 15% interest rate of return after taxes and a
payout in less than 6 years. For an established industry
such as sulfuric acid, such profitability is not often attained
except through captive use markets where a more valuable
end product can justify higher profitability. More reason-
able values might be 7-10% annual return after taxes,
12-15% interest rate of return after taxes, and 5-6 years
payout. These guides should help in examining the results
of this evaluation.
The results of the profitability analysis under nonregu-
lated economics are presented for each case as computer
printouts in Appendix A (tables A-133 to A-176). The
printouts describe each year of operation including yearly
operating costs for the prescribed periods, net sales revenue,
gross and net income, and the annual cash flow over the
power unit life. Payout periods and interest rates of return,
with high and low equivalent payment and without any
payment, are shown for each case. These values are
summarized in table 70.
The data indicate that without a payment for air
pollution control equivalent to the high cost limestone-wet
scrubbing process, at $8/ton of acid, the magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration schemes are not at all attractive; in
fact, they have a negative interest rate of return when there
is no payment. With the higher payment, however, the units
500-mw and larger show sufficient promise to possibly
attract chemical industry investment.
To fully consider the results, several graphs have been
prepared describing the effects of particular variables. The
effect of power unit size on the payout period and interest
rate of return for coal-fired units are given in figures 102 to
107. The data compares Schemes A, B, and C, indicating that
best results are obtained with Scheme C. Similar results for
oil-fired units are shown in figures 108 to 111 indicating
Scheme B to be slightly better than Scheme A. For
single-site situations, increasing power unit size shows only
moderate improvement in economic profitability.
Figures 112 to 115 describe the effect of sulfur content
of fuel on profitability for oil- and coal-fired power units.
As the sulfur content of fuel increases, profitability is not

radically altered indicating that incremental production
costs are just offset by incremental revenue when acid is
sold for $8/ton net back. If the acid could be marketed at
values higher than incremental operating costs, profitability
would be noticeably improved.
The effect of net sales revenue for sulfuric acid can be
seen in figures 116 to 119 covering Scheme A, coal-fired
units with sales revenue ranging from 0 to 400% ($0-
32/ton) of the $8/ton base value. Graphs are shown for
cases including both high and low payments equivalent to
limestone-wet scrubbing. If revenue of $20-30/ton could be
obtained and coupled with the high equivalent limestone-
wet scrubbing payment, all sizes of the magnesia process
would be attractive as a means of acid manufacture.
Varying expected fixed investment requirements for
Scheme A on coal-fired units yields the results shown in
figures 120 and 121. It can be seen that reduction in
forecasted investment could increase profitability to
acceptable levels.
The effect of onstream time is described in figure 122
which gives payout of various Scheme A unit sizes for
either 7,000 hours or 5,000 hours annual operation over
the 30-year life of the unit. When the high equivalent
payment is negotiated, higher onstream time is quite
helpful toward improving profitability. The influence of
unit status or age on interest rate of return, with
appropriate reduction in years of 7,000 hour operation, is
displayed in figure 123. As remaining onstream time
declines, alternatives requiring very little capital investment
such as low sulfur fuel are better choices.
The reduction in interest rate of return and increase in
payout period for varying rates of labor cost escalation over
the 30-year operating period are given for Scheme A,
500-mw coal-fired units in figures 124 and 125. If the
payments for air pollution control are also escalated, the
change in profitability would be negated.
Cooperative Economics-Central
Processing Concept
Thus far, the profitability potential of single-site, magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration systems has been evaluated by
assuming that the total process investment requirements are
provided by either a regulated power company or a
nonregulated chemical company and by using the appro-
priate economic evaluation technique. It is possible, how-
ever, to have combinations of the two types of economics if
a power company and a chemical company each provide a
portion of the investment needs of single or multiple
systems. Probably the simplest of such cooperative

arrangements would be for the power company to finance
the scrubbing-drying operations and the chemical company
to provide capital for the regeneration-acid manufacturing
facilities. Each company would then be responsible for only
its portion of activity; that is, the power company for
particulate and sulfur dioxide removal, and the chemical
company for acid disposal. Under this arrangement the
power companies would supply magnesium sulfite to the
chemical company and would receive regenerated
magnesium oxide. The power company would be involved
only in the sale of power under regulated economics and
the chemical company would handle the sale of sulfuric
acid or other products under nonregulated economics.
Even though single-site operations could function under
such arrangements, the most promising application of a
cooperative venture would be the central processing
concept where several power units at separate sites
independently provide the magnesium sulfite for a central

generating unit, paying full price for makeup MgO
($102.40/ton Chicago area), plus paying partial price and
shipping cost of recycle MgO (approximately $5-65/ton
depending on size of operation). In addition, they would
"dispose" of their dry, waste magnesium sulfite crystals at
no charge other than for shipping to the chemical company
(which means no additional cost or space requirements). As
long as the power companies are not charged excessively for
recycle MgO, they can remove particulates and S02 by
magnesia wet-scrubbing at a total cost equivalent to or less
than the least cost alternate; for comparison, limestone-wet
scrubbing is assumed for the alternate. If the price for
recycle MgO is sufficient, when coupled with sulfuric acid
revenue, a chemical company could justify investment in a
sulfuric acid plant with magnesium sulfite as raw material
rather than elemental sulfur.
In the evaluation to follow, the operating cost of
magnesia scrubbing-drying operations over the power unit
life is computed under regulated economics using varying
recycle magnesium oxide costs and compared with appro-
priate high and low limestone-wet scrubbing costs to
determine prices for the recycle material. The recycle MgO
revenue, coupled with acid sales revenue, permits profit-
ability determination for the central regeneration-acid plant
under nonregulated evaluation techniques. For this venture
only a 10-year regeneration-acid plant life at 8,000 hrs/yr
will be assumed. If the central processing concept is sound,
in that several independent power units with varying load
factors and operating lives will supply the. magnesium
sulfite so that the loss of any one or two power units is not
critical to operation of the acid plant, then, with power
demand growing as projected, the life of the acid plant is
independent of the power units involved. As one acid plant
wears out, another can be justified to take its place.
As shown in computer printouts of tables A-177, A-178,
A-187, A-188, A-197, and A-198 in Appendix A, when acid
revenue is $12/ton and MgO shipping distance is less than
50 miles, the prices which could be charged for recycle
MgO permitting competitive costs with limestone-wet
scrubbing are $25-55/ton for 200-mw scrubbing systems,
$15-55/ton for 500-mw scrubbing systems, and $10-55/ton
for 1000-mw scrubbing systems. These values can be
examined further in figure 126 which describes the effect
of recycle MgO cost on the discounted change in cost of
power to consumers for the scrubbing-drying (regulated)
portion of magnesia Scheme D. Using the same data, figure
127 relates the premium in actual and discounted $/ton of
low sulfur coal which would be competitive with 200-mw,
500-mw, and 1000-mw magnesia scrubbing-drying units
paying various rates for recycle MgO. Presented in figure
128 is the effect of shipping distance for $50-55/ton

recycle MgO on the discounted cost of power to consumers
for scrubbing-drying unit sizes of 200-mw, 500-mw, and
1000-mw.
Using the range of recycle MgO prices so developed, the
economic potential of central regeneration-acid units can be
evaluated for various combinations of 200-mw, 500-mw,
and 1000-mw scrubbing-drying systems. Shown in tables 71
and 72 are the expected payout periods and interest rates
of return for acid plants with magnesium sulfite feed
supplied by scrubbing systems on new power units burning
coal with 3.5% sulfur. The results are given for a $12/ton
acid net revenue combined with various recycle MgO
revenues which equate magnesia scrubbing-drying costs
with both low and high cost limestone-wet scrubbing.
Detailed calculations are shown in Appendix A tables
A-179-186, A-189-196, and A-199-204.
Although the results shown in table 71 indicate, at best,
marginal profitability potential, those of table 72, where
recycle MgO revenue ranges from $50-55/ton, show
excellent economic promise. Two trends are apparent—the
larger the central acid plant, the greater the profitability,
and the smaller the individual power plant scrubbing-drying
systems -supplying the MgSO3, the greater the profitability.
The reason for this latter relationship is the relatively higher
cost of limestone-wet scrubbing on smaller scrubbing units
permits a higher price for recycle MgO. In addition, the
smaller power units are assumed to be less efficient,
requiring more fuel to be burned; hence, more recycle MgO
and acid for a given size system. As the results show,
2000-3000-mw (1,333-2,000 tons/day of 100% acid)
systems composed of 10-15 small suppliers of sulfite could
be very profitable; however, it will be difficult to find,
assemble, and coordinate that many systems within a
reasonable geographic area.
Presented in figure 129 is the effect of system size on
interest rate of return for regeneration-acid units supplied
by combinations of 200-mw, 500-mw, and 1000-mw
scrubbing-drying units. Also, shown in figures 130 and 131
is the effect of magnesium sulfite shipping distances on
interest rate of return covering central unit combinations of
500-mw scrubbing systems with $15/ton and $55/ton
recycle MgO revenue. In situations where the magnesia
process must compete with low cost limestone scrubbing
(rural areas), MgO shipping distance is extremely important.
Figures 132, 133, and 134 describe the effect of
variation in net sales revenue for recycle MgO on interest
rate of return for the various 200-mw, 500-mw, and
1000-mw combinations of systems. In addition, the effect
of variation in sulfuric acid revenue on interest rate of
return is described in figures 135 through 140 assuming the
required price ranges of recycle MgO for each size system.
It can be seen that in situations where high recycle MgO
revenue can be obtained, acid revenue is not even required
to attain desirable profitability levels with any large
centralized regeneration-acid plant. For the lower levels of
recycle MgO income, however, acid revenue is extremely
important.
Another logical approach to evaluation of the central
process concept is to establish a minimum price for recycle
MgO consistent with acceptable profitability; then, deter-
mine the conditions which would make MgO scrubbing
competitive with limestone scrubbing or the premium for
low sulfur fuel. For a 2000-mw equivalent acid plant selling
acid at $12/ton, MgO recycle price would have to be
approximately $20, $27, and $34/ton, respectively, for 10,
15, and 20% after tax rates of return. At the intermediate
price level ($27/ton, 15% rate of return), the MgO
scrubbing process would be less expensive than low cost

limestone scrubbing for power units 200-mw and smaller
(see figure 126) up to 50 miles from the central plant
location. For 500-mw power units located 50 miles from
the central processing plant, the price of recycle MgO
would have to be approximately $18/ton to be competitive
with low cost limestone scrubbing and this would result in
an 8% interest rate of return to the chemical company. If a
high cost limestone process is the competition (permitting
$55/ton for recycle MgO), even a single 500-mw equivalent
regeneration-acid plant could be justified.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDED
Of the four processes evaluated under the EPA-TVA
conceptual design and cost series, the magnesia process
development was probably the most advanced at the time
the study was initiated. As mentioned earlier, a 155-mw
demonstration system utilizing the magnesia slurry process
(Scheme A) has been built and was started up in early 1972
on an oil-fired Boston Edison power unit. A number of
items needing further research and development are being
studied in the demonstration scale system.
Further development work needed can be classified into
three categories: process phases, equipment performance,
and system operation. Although it is desirable to have
additional information such as physical properties, mass
transfer rates, absorber efficiencies and pilot plant
operating data, the emphasis should be centered on process
confirmation and improvement, equipment performance
and reliability, and system compatibility with power plant
operation.
There are several process phases worthy of additional
attention, including use of unrefined magnesia as raw
material, formation of magnesium sulfite trihydrate crystals
in scrubbing slurry, contamination buildup and removal,
crystal growth and scaling, oxidation in the scrubber and
dryer, clear liquor scrubbing and sulfite precipitation, and
the manufacture of sulfur in the calciner. With the
exception of scaling and contamination, which can interfere
with process operation, most of these areas of study are
process modifications to extend usefulness and to improve
economics.
The least expensive forms of magnesium oxide are
dolomite and raw magnesia. If process contamination
tolerances can be defined, some raw material savings might
be achieved by using these materials.
Potential problems associated with buildup of con-
taminants from recycle of process raw material have been
given some attention in this report; however, very little data
exists to define the actual compounds, their rate of
buildup, and their effect on the process. Data of this type
can only be obtained over a long period of process
operation with remedial measures taken after definition. It
may well be that contaminants and the level of buildup will
vary from operation to operation depending on fuel
characteristics, source of makeup MgO, and process water
composition. Although the flow diagram for each scheme
shows a point where a decontamination purge should be
taken, actual results may indicate otherwise.
Some investigators have indicated that magnesium sulfite
trihydrate rather than hexahydrate crystals may be formed
in the scrubbing loop at scrubbing temperatures normally
encountered (125-135° F). Research data available does
not generally confirm this; however, the data is not all
inclusive, and some doubt remains, especially with actual
slurries as opposed to simulated slurries. Considerable heat
savings could be derived if easily separatable trihydrate
crystals could be formed directly in the scrubbing slurry.
Even using induced thermal conversion of the hexahydrate
crystals to form trihydrate material, as suggested in this
report, may not be acceptable if the smaller trihydrate
crystals (1:10) can not be dewatered easily. Additional data
from pilot plant or demonstration-scale operation is
desirable to clarify this procedure.
Oxidation of sulfite to sulfate in the scrubbing and
drying operations requires increased use of reducing coke or
higher temperatures in the calciner. As discussed in the
Process Chemistry, Properties and Kinetics section, various
organic compounds can be used to retard oxidation in the
scrubber; however, they probably would be consumed or
decomposed in the drying-calcination steps and would need
to be replaced. Since these organics are generally expensive,
their value as an oxidation retardant would have to be
compared to their replacement expense. Data is needed
both on their effectiveness as retardants and their expected
losses per cycle. In addition to oxidation in the scrubber
loop, information on sulfite oxidation in the dryer under
various combustion conditions and in storage over a period
of time may be worthwhile.
Chemico-Basic has carried out some development with
clear liquor scrubbing, Scheme C, with less than desirable
S02 removal; however, these results were limited. As can be
seen in the economic evaluation, Scheme C has the least
investment and operating costs of the schemes studied, and
on that basis, appears worthy of additional development
work. Perhaps minor pH changes to the 6.0-6.5 range or
increased L/G would permit improved S02 removal with a
totally soluble sulfite-bisulfite liquor.
One of the most important process phases requiring
additional study is crystal size and growth. Crystal charac-
teristics are important in the scrubber system for MgS03
formation and scale prevention, in the dewatering step for
131
-------
liquids-solids separation, and in the dryer for agglomera-
tion. Figures 12, 13, and 14 in the Process Chemistry,
Properties and Kinetics section are photomicrographs of
synthetically prepared sulfite tri- and hexahydrate crystals
and are helpful in studying ciystal habit. It appears
desirable to form crystals as large as possible to promote
sulfite precipitation without scaling and liquid-solid
separation. Although not confirmed, larger crystals also
may reduce erosion in the system.
In connection with crystal growth and scaling is a
process variable needing additional study, solids concentra-
tion in the scrubbing slurry. Results at TVA in limestone
slurry scrubbing indicate a relationship between slurry
solids concentration, and scaling and erosion of unpro-
tected surfaces. With greater solids concentration, less
scaling is encountered, but more erosion is usually
experienced. From a liquid-solid separation viewpoint, it is
desirable to feed the highest possible solids concentration
to the thickener, screen, and centrifuge. Although
preliminary tests have been made, their results have not
provided conclusive data.
Speculation has been raised as to possible direct manu-
facture of sulfur in the calcination step by alteration of
calciner design and/or operating conditions. As discussed in
the Process Chemistry, Properties and Kinetics section,
some small-scale work has been done in the area; however,
application to commercial systems remains suspect. Such a
concept, if development were successful, could result in
investment cost savings and a more desirable end product.
Areas of additional equipment development include
spray scrubbing, corrosion and erosion protection, mist
elimination in slurry service, and fluid bed drying and
calcination. The Grillo work with high gas velocities in
concurrent spray scrubbers indicates potential scrubber cost
savings for MgO-Mn02 slurries (Scheme B). It is conceivable
that additional development in spray scrubbing technology
could lead to application in the magnesia slurry and clear
liquor schemes (A, C, D) where sulfite oxidation is less than
for MgO-Mn02 scrubbing. Recent test work at TVA using
limestone slurries in spray scrubbing has been promising;
however, mist elimination at high gas velocities and
plugging of the eliminators were major problems. This area
of research might best be relegated to equipment vendors;
however, there is considerable opportunity for joint process
and equipment development.
In aqueous scrubbing processes, TVA pilot plant testing
has shown mist elimination to be a difficult and expensive
operation, especially in slurry service. High elimination
efficiency to prevent reentrainment of scrubbing salts and
lower reheat requirements, plus the prevention of plugging
in separation devices, are essential for large-scale application
of aqueous scrubbing systems. Much equipment
development effort is needed in this area.
Fluid bed dryers and calciners are used in the schemes
presented in this report; however, very little magnesia
process test work has been performed using these devices.
Initial development, including the Boston Edison demon-
stration plant, utilizes the less efficient, but dependable,
rotary dryer and calciner. Fluid bed equipment vendors feel
that their devices should work well in these services, and
available cost estimates justify considerable effort in this
direction. Due to previous successes in the sulfite pulping
industry, process developers think it is only a matter of
time until fluid bed systems are used for magnesium sulfite
drying and magnesia regeneration to obtain the potential
cost savings and achieve a more uniform product. If direct
sulfur production is to be accomplished, it probably will be
with fluid bed systems.
With potential problems such as corrosion, erosion,
scaling, and start and stop operation, considerable work will
be required to obtain satisfactory coupling of the magnesia
process to a power plant. In some cases when aqueous stack
gas scrubbing processes have been tested on power units,
difficulty has been encountered in obtaining long term,
continuous operation. Limited success has been obtained in
a few cases, but only after alterations and modifications
were made. The Boston Edison demonstration systems
should indicate which process alterations and modifications
are required for the magnesia process. Questionable areas
for specific problems include the reliability of gas by-pass
dampers if used, corrosion-erosion resistant materials and
linings in scrubber loop, gas and liquid channeling in
scrubber units, mist elimination and reheat systems, process
materials storage requirements, the need for spare
equipment, and location or type of instrumentation
required to quickly obtain consistent, even operation under
frequent changes in power unit load.
In absence of definitive corrosion and erosion data for
the magnesia scrubbing operations, considerable materials
testing is recommended for future development. Limited
tests under static simulation are almost worthless and data
under sustained, dynamic operation conditions are desir-
able. Knowing the effects of frequent starts and stops,
adverse process upsets and length of operation should be
very helpful to the design engineers.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In reviewing processes for sulfur dioxide removal from
power plant stack gas, thus far, no single process studied
has exhibited outstanding superiority over all others. Each
process has shown some advantages and disadvantages when
subjected to a thorough appraisal. In this respect, the
magnesia scrubbing-regeneration process is no different;
however, it is apparent that the technology of the concept
is well founded and its development has advanced
considerably during the past few years.
Aqueous scrubbing processes such as the magnesia
system have advantages over dry absorption including:
1. Better mass transfer.
2. Easier absorbent handling and circulation.
3. No physcial deterioration of the absorbent.
At the same time, disadvantages such as:
1. Necessity for stack gas reheat.
2. Increased corrosion.
3. Potential to form scale deposits in the scrubbing
system.
4. The need to remove water for regeneration of
absorbent.
In comparison with other aqueous scrubbing processes,
the advantages and disadvantages of the magnesia concept
depend on the process with which it is compared. For
instance, at a given liquor to gas flow ratio, the mass
transfer rate of sulfur dioxide in the stack gas to the
aqueous magnesia absorbent is superior to limestone
scrubbing, but less than that of the more soluble sodium,
potassium, and ammonium compounds. The corrosion-
erosion rates and potential to form scale deposits of
magnesia slurry scrubbing are less than limestone slurries,
but possibly greater than the soluble alkali salts. Reheat,
entrainment, and absorbent loss problems are nearly the
same for all aqueous scrubbing schemes.
Unlike the nonrecovery limestone processes studied
earlier in the EPA-TVA series, the magnesia scrubbing
process recovers the S02 in the stack gas as a salable,
commercial product. Either concentrated (98%) sulfuric
acid, liquified sulfur dioxide, or elemental sulfur could be
produced for sale.
The most attractive assets of the magnesia concept are:
1. The ease of separation of the sulfite salt from the
scrubber liquor.
2. The ability to regenerate and recycle the absorbent,
magnesium oxide.
3. The avoidance of a solids disposal problem.
4. The possibility of setting up a centralized
regeneration-acid unit separating both financially and
operationally the power unit-scrubbing system from the
commercial, chemical product function.
It is the last two advantages that have captured the interest
of the decision-making officials in the power industry; the
ability to remove S02 from the stack gas and dispose of it
off-site, remaining free of any chemical marketing liability.
The process does have notable requirements such as:
1. The need for two scrubbing stages when using slurry
on coal-fired units to avoid mixing the fly ash with
undissolved magnesium.
2. Relatively high energy usage to generate more
concentrated S02.
3. The necessity to market the product(s) with limited
flexibility in demand.
Probably, the greatest obstacle to immediate, wide applica-
tion is the current market price for sulfur which permits
less expensive manufacture of sulfuric acid by conventional
routes as compared to the calcination of magnesium sulfite,
even if the sulfite could be obtained free of charge.
Advanced development has been carried forth on three
technological variations of the magnesia process. Pilot plant
runs have been made on the critical portions of the
following sulfur'dioxide removal schemes:
Scheme A—Slurry scrubbing with partially dissolved
magnesium oxide-magnesium sulfite at a basic pH,
separation and drying of the predominantly sulfite crystals,
regeneration to MgO, and concentrated (16%) sulfur
dioxide.
Scheme B—Slurry scrubbing with partially dissolved
magnesium oxide-magnesium sulfite-manganese dioxide,
separation and drying of the solids, and regeneration to
MgO, Mn02, and concentrated (13%) S02 .
Scheme C—Solution scrubbing with dissolved magnesium
sulfites at an acidic pH, precipitation of sulfite by addition
of MgO, and separation and drying of resultant crystals
with regeneration to MgO and concentrated (16%) S02.
Although all three variations appear feasible, only the
basic slurry scrubbing schemes (A and B) are capable of
90% plus sulfur dioxide removal from power plant stack gas
(less than 4,000 ppm, S02). The high vapor pressure of
S02 over the solution of sulfites makes it difficult to obtain
efficiencies greater than 80-85% with Scheme C. Because of
133
-------
the greater S02 removal, the slurry variations have received
more attention during recent years. As previously stated,
there is a need for some additional pilot plant studies of
various process phases; however, the slurry concepts are
definitely ready for larger scale demonstration.
Recently, some research has been carried out on NOX
removal by magnesia scrubbing and the manufacture of
sulfur directly in the calciner offgas. Based on preliminary
results reported by Babcock and Wilcox (26), the magnesia
process does not appear to be effective for NOX removal
(10% or less) and, therefore, should not be depended on as
a means of NOX control. For the direct manufacture of
sulfur, little applied research has been reported, but
theoretical evaluation indicates some merit for additional
work. At the present value of elemental sulfur, however,
the additional cost required to produce sulfur rather than
acid may not be justified (11).
Full scale equipment which would permit at least limited
operation of the magnesia scrubbing-regeneration process
could be purchased today. Several scrubber designs are
available including venturi, mobile bed, and spray types for
slurries and, in addition to these, packed and tray types for
solutions. Performance and reliability data for full scale
equipment is not yet available; however, within limits,
fabricators could provide workable devices. Although the
Boston Edison, 155-mw demonstration is the first large
scale application of the magnesia process, many of the
items such as centrifuges, screens, pumps, conveyors, and
tanks require no special design other than specification of
materials of construction. Sulfuric acid plant designers
could easily provide systems to produce acid from calciner
offgas.
One major area of equipment design needing further
attention is in fluid bed drying and calcination. The
155-mw demonstration system uses rotary equipment;
however, future installations may be fluid bed types. There
are companies who feel they can adapt current fluid bed
designs without major alterations.
At this time, mist eliminator design is of concern;
however, development of efficient, reliable devices should
be forthcoming as soon as experience is obtained in large
stack gas wet-scrubbing applications. More than likely,
entrainment separators for magnesia scrubbing will be very
similar to devices used for other wet scrubbing processes.
The unit investment requirements for magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration vary over a wide range—$14.9/kw
for a new, 1000-mw, 1.0% S in fuel, oil-fired power system
to $65.4/kw for an existing, 200-mw, 3.5% S in fuel,
coal-fired system. Comparable limestone-wet scrubbing
figures are $14.8/kw to $51.5/kw; however, no product is
produced and a large solids disposal problem must be
endured. In 1969-70, investment for the three ammonia
scrubbing-fertilizer manufacturing processes evaluated
under the EPA-TVA series (87) ranged from $24.6/kw for a
new, 1000-mw system to $62.6/kw for a 200-mw, existing
system; however, these values are not up-to-date and the
processes evaluated manufactured finished, consumer
products (28-14-0, 26-19-0, and 20-15-0 N.P.K. fertilizers).
For coal-fired units, the investment requirements for
magnesia Scheme C are lowest of the three technological
variations studied and those of Scheme B, only marginally
the highest. The use of a single scrubber to remove both fly
ash and sulfur dioxide is the primary reason for reduced
cost of Scheme C; however, the reduced throughput of
material due to lower S02 removal also has some effect.
The Scheme B scrubber cost is less than Scheme A because
of the improved mass transfer using Mn02 in the slurry;
however, this cost improvement is offset by the quantity of
material which must be dried and handled. Impurities and
Mn02 from pyrolusite, the purchased form of manganese
dioxide, are a noticeable burden even though the Mn02
improves mass transfer in the scrubber, and permits
calcination of sulfite-sulfate without coke at only slightly
higher temperature. Again, for oil-fired units (Scheme C not
applicable), Scheme A investment is slightly less than
Scheme B. As expected, process investment for oil-fired
units is much less than for coal-fired systems.
The investment for magnesia systems on existing power
units is estimated at about 10% greater than for new units,
but it should be recognized that actual applications may be
considerably higher due to low service and utility avail-
ability, unfavorable physical layout, shutdown require-
ments, and construction efficiency. Also, the investment
cost for a single unit under the central processing concept,
Scheme D, is about 6% higher than for a single-site Scheme
A system; however, when multiple units are considered,
Scheme D investment is less, by as much as 13%.
The lowest cost source materials for makeup magnesium
oxide are raw magnesite and dolomite, but these materials
may contain considerable undesirable impurities. At least
until proven otherwise, calcined'magnesite should be used
as the primary raw material. It is expected to cost between
$94 and $140/ton, 100% MgO delivered, depending on
shipping destination.
Magnesia process operating costs have been examined
under both regulated (cost of money and income taxes
included) and nonregulated bases for 7,000 hr/yr operation.
In most respects, the results are similar to investment
requirements in that Scheme C is the least costly variation,
existing units are more expensive to operate, oil-fired
systems have lower costs than coal-fired systems, and
Scheme D for a single-unit system is more costly than
Scheme A, but on a multiple unit basis, is less expensive.
One notable exception to the investment relationships is
that operating costs are for oil-fired Scheme B systems just
slightly less costly than comparable Scheme A systems. For
coal-fired systems, Scheme A is slightly lower. The
explanation for this disparity lies almost solely with fuel oil
134
-------
requirements for reheating the humidified stack gas. In
both coal-fired systems, the gas is totally humidified to a
saturation temperature of approximately 127° F as it
passes through both the particulate and S02 scrubbers. In
the oil-fired system design, however, Grillo indicates only
partial saturation to a temperature of 140° F in the
single-spray absorber used for MgO-Mn02 scrubbing
whereas Scheme A is assumed to be totally saturated to
127° F. Although the resulting different scrubber tempera-
tures could easily be questioned, nevertheless, the lower
requirements for reheating the partially saturated Scheme B
scrubber gas to 175° F accounts for the lower Scheme B
operating cost in the oil-fired system comparison.
Regulated operating costs range from $3.62-7.75/ton of
coal burned for the coal-fired units and from
$0.50-1.34/barrel of oil for oil-fired units. Sulfuric acid
manufacturing costs by magnesia scrubbing range from
$41.53-178.97/ton of acid. For comparable cases, the
limestone-wet scrubbing process is estimated at
$3.24-5.80/ton of coal burned and $0.46-1.03/barrel of oil
burned when a low cost limestone and on-site solids
disposal are utilized. Values for the high cost limestone and
off-site solids disposal range from $5.08-7.22/ton of coal
burned and $0.52-1.19/barrel of oil burned. Except for the
200-mw units, the magnesia system operating costs fall
between the high and low cost limestone estimates.
Premium costs for low sulfur coal and low sulfur oil are
quite variable, depending on location delivered, but values
appear to range from $2-8/ton of coal and $0.75-2/barrel of
oil.
Under Scheme D, the operating costs for producing acid
in a central plant is estimated to range from
$15.35-36.52/ton of acid when magnesium sulfite is
supplied from one or more 200-mw, 500-mw, or 1000-mw
scrubbing systems at no cost other than shipping expense.
This acid cost is $2-23 higher than that from acid plants
burning elemental sulfur at current prices ($24-27/long ton
of sulfur).
Fairly large quantities of sulfuric acid can be produced
from the S02 emitted by power plants, on the order of 378
tons/day for a 500-mw unit burning coal containing 3.5%
sulfur, or 2,000 tons/day for a central process acid plant
equivalent to 3000-mw. With a projected annual growth
rate of 4.6%, marketing large quantities of byproduct
sulfuric acid from power plants will take special planning.
Probably, the best end-use market is the phosphate fertil-
izer industry and the prime plant locations would be in the
Midwest near high sulfur coal and large consumers of
phosphate fertilizers. Even in this area, competition will be
rough and average net revenue can not often be expected to
exceed $8/ton of acid for single power unit applications.
Since flexibility will be limited, in that acid demand will
not coincide with production, heavy discounting may be
necessary to assure disposal of the product. For central
process acid plants, flexibility is higher and, assuming more
independence from the fertilizer market, an average net
revenue of $12/ton is more appropriate.
Final economic potential of the magnesia schemes is
considered by three different financial procedures: regu-
lated profitability as practiced by the power industry,
nonregulated profitability as used in the chemical industry,
and a combination of the two-cooperative economics.
Under regulated economics, a limited, fixed return on
investment is provided; for nonregulated economics, profit-
ability depends entirely on competitive forces. For alterna-
tives under regulated economics, the evaluation compares
only the resultant cost effects to power consumers; with
nonregulated alternative appraisal, the most profitable
route is derived. In cooperative economics, the portion of
investment under regulation is so evaluated, and that under
nonregulation is subjected to profitability analysis.
Regardless of the financial basis of evaluation, the
measure of potential for any process scheme depends on
several factors including:
1. Plant size.
2. Sulfur content of fuel.
3. Fuel type.
4. Plant status (new or existing unit at the time the S02
removal process is installed).
5. Operating onstream time.
6. Revenue from sale of product(s) and for operations
at more than one site (Scheme D).
7. Shipping costs of transferred material.
Although these variables can be examined individually, the
magnitude of each depends on the level chosen for the
others.
Using regulated economics, the single-site magnesia
Schemes A, B, and C are compared to each other and both
high (metropolitan) and low (rural) cost limestone
scrubbing. Scheme C is the lowest cost magnesia process for
coal-fired units with Scheme B only slightly higher than
Scheme A. Only Scheme C applied to power units larger
than 500-600-mw is less expensive than low cost limestone
scrubbing; however, when compared with high cost ($6/ton
limestone, off-site solids disposal at $6/ton) limestone
scrubbing, all three magnesia schemes are less costly for
units above 300-400-mw in size. For oil-fired units, results
are similar for Schemes A and B; Scheme C (solution
scrubbing) is not applicable to oil-fired units.
Usually increasing sulfur content of fuel or annual
onstream time improves the economics; however, since it
costs more than $8/ton to manufacture the acid from free
MgS03, an increased quantity of throughput, at least up to
the levels reviewed, increases total cost of magnesia
schemes.
From this data, it can be seen that when regulated power
industry funding is necessary for single-site applications,
135
-------
only large units should be considered for magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration.
When investment is provided by a nonregulated com-
pany, it can be assumed that some fee or payment might be
charged to the power company for the service performed; a
maximum could be the cost of comparable limestone-wet
scrubbing and a minimum would be zero. Under the terms
of maximum payment equivalent to high cost limestone
scrubbing and $8/ton revenue, the best profitability of the
cases examined is for Scheme C on a new 1000-mw,
coal-fired unit—22.8% interest rate of return or 4.0 year
payout. Without any payment, all cases evaluated have
negative interest rates of return and no payouts (which
means original capital investment was not even recovered).
The most profitable case for Scheme A, again assuming the
high equivalent limestone payment, is a new, coal-fired
(3.5% S), 1000-mw unit with an interest rate of return of
18.1% and a payout in 4.8 years. It should be stated,
however, that projections of the profitability curves
indicate that little improvement can be achieved by
increasing unit size above 1000-mw for single-site
applications.
For applications where competition is a low cost
limestone scrubbing system, an expected lower payment
restricts the magnesia process profitability considerably.
Under nonregulated economics, $8/ton acid revenue, and
low or no air pollution control payment, single-site
magnesia processes attached to a power unit would not be
attractive as a chemical industry investment.
When investment arrangements are cooperative (that is,
the scrubbing-drying operation is provided by power
company funds and the regeneration-acid unit built by
nonregulated company capital), the best qualities of the
magnesia process are utilized. Not only financial responsi-
bility, but also operating and marketing requirements are
more compatible with power plant operation and chemical
manufacturing. Assuming supply of magnesium sulfite to
the central regeneration plant from several power plant
sources, acid manufacture becomes independent of the
cyclic nature of power demand and chemical plant
operation can be more readily optimized.
A major obstacle to such arrangement, however, is that
acid revenue alone will not produce sufficient profitability
to justify nonregulated capital investment in the
regeneration-acid plant. The incentive for power companies
to invest in magnesia scrubbing is much stronger since
magnesia scrubbing is less expensive than limestone
scrubbing when magnesium sulfite is swapped for
magnesium oxide. To improve the potential for sulfuric
acid plant investment, another revenue source can be
sought; that of charging for recycle MgO. This should be
feasible as long as the price charged permits magnesia
scrubbing costs to be less than limestone scrubbing.
For 1000-mw size magnesia scrubbing systems, the cost
of recycle MgO would need to be limited to $10-15/ton and
for 500-mw systems, $15-20/ton when competition is a low
cost limestone scrubbing system. However, as the unit size
of the individual scrubbing-drying system decreases, or the
cost of a limestone scrubbing system increases, the possible
price of recycle MgO increases. As the recycle MgO revenue
rises, the profitability potential of the central process
concept becomes more and more attractive.
For a 3000-mw equivalent central acid plant with
magnesium sulfite supplied by six 500-mw slurry scrubbing
units within a 50-mile radius, and net revenue of $12/ton of
acid and $15/ton for recycle MgO, the interest rate of
return is only 8.7% with a payout of 6.5 years. If
competitive limestone scrubbing has a high cost ($6/ton
limestone, off-site solids disposal at $6/ton), approximately
$55/ton can be charged for recycle MgO which would
permit an interest rate of return of 39.7% and a payout of
2.4 years. Therefore, depending on competitive costs of
alternate methods of SO2 control, the attractiveness of the
magnesia central process concept can range from poor to
excellent.
Since the data presented in figure 126 indicate that a
higher price can be charged for recycle MgO as the power
unit size decreases, it can be concluded that the greatest
profitability of the central process concept lies with smaller
scrubbing systems tied to large acid plants. For instance, a
3000-mw equivalent acid plant supplied by fifteen 200-mw
scrubbing-drying systems within a 50-mile radius could earn
a 40.6% interest rate of return if $55/ton is obtained for
recycle MgO. When a low cost limestone process is the
competition, and only $25/ton can be obtained for the
recycle absorbent, the interest rate of return would be
17.2% which is still attractive.
In the analysis of» the central processing concept, the
effect of shipping cost for transferring MgSO3 and MgO
between the plants deserves particular attention. Shipping
cost is not a large fraction (7-8% for 50-miles) of total
operation cost; therefore, it is not surprising to find that
interest rates of return are decreased only about 1-3% for
every 25-miles distance. Because shipping rates are
unchanged in the first 50-miles, there is no effect inside this
radius.
The effect of acid revenue on economic potential varies
with each of the three financial arrangements studied. If,
instead of $8/ton of acid, $16-20/ton could be obtained,
the magnesia process would be competitive with low cost
limestone scrubbing for single-site applications under
regulated economics. Under nonregulated profitability, an
increase of 250-300% in. acid revenue ($20-24/ton) would
be necessary to make single magnesia scrubbing-
regeneration systems attractive when coupled with only a
low equivalent payment. With the central process concept,
an increase in acid revenue from $12/ton-20/ton would
136
-------
permit attractive profitability since such large volumes of
acid are involved.
In summation, it can be concluded that most magnesia
scrubbing systems would be economically attractive under
any financial arrangement if competition for S02 control is
high cost limestone scrubbing, and high premium, low
sulfur fuel. Locations meeting these conditions would be
mostly in midwestern and eastern metropolitan areas of the
United States and western Europe. In such areas where
limestone cost is relatively low and solids disposal is not
unduly expensive, magnesia scrubbing-regeneration might
possibly be attractive, but unexpectedly high acid prices
would have to be obtained. If total system financing must
be under regulated conditions, only large power units
should be considered for application of magnesia
scrubbing-regeneration.

that resistance to flow in the liquid phase was small
enough to be negligible at pH values of 6.1-6.2 in the

can be equated to the partial coefficient of the gas
phase. In this paper, the application of magnesia

When the concentration of ammonium sulfate present
is greater than the concentration of the sulfite-
bisulfite or in a dilute solution, or in a process in
which the solutions obtained approach a state of
equilibrium with the gas of a given concentration, the
partial pressure of S02 over the solution may be
seriously affected by changes in the concentration of
ammonium sulfate.

oxidation rates of magnesium sulfite-bisulfite solu-
tions formed during extraction of S02 from dilute
gases were determined; it was found that the con-
centration of the oxidation product, MgS04, in the
liquor has the greatest influence on the coefficient of
oxygen absorption. The coefficient of oxygen absorp-
tion varies inversely with the viscosity and density of
the liquid phase. The oxidation rate in the liquor can
be reduced by about half by introducing 0.001%
p-aminophenol to the liquor.

rate of MgS03 is of order 3/2 in MgSO3. This order

Compounds From Waste Gases. Combustion 2, pp.
19-30 (1933). The possibility of economically
washing large quantities of gases with water is very
remote. The limits impos'ed by the solubility of SO2
from such dilute gases are those of the quantity of
water required, and time and surface of contact
needed. Bubble type scrubbing was found to require
the least time of contact and smallest volume of
scrubber space.

of fly ash. The lime can be injected into the boiler
and caught in a wet scrubber after the air heater; this
method removes some S02 ahead of the scrubber,

16. Abstracts The repOr|- is a conceptual design and cost study on magnesia scrubbing-
regeneration. It describes the process history, current development status, and
variations which have been pursued, and presents process chemistry, kinetics, and
mass transfer data. It outlines the four leading processing techniques for evaluation,
and discusses the advantages and weaknesses of magnesia scrubbing-regeneration as
compared to other SO2 removal processes. It gives results of a complete economic
evaluation, including details of the capital, annual operating, and lifetime operating
cost estimates. It compares magnesia processes with both low (rural) and high
(metropolitan) cost limestone scrubbing systems, and gives sensitivities of such
variables as unit size, status (new or existing), fuel type, sulfur content of fuel,
on-stream time, and net sales revenue. It enumerates conclusions of the study.
