I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this test was to measure the NO emissions of the
No. 4 boiler at the Southern California Edison's Alamitos, California,
(South Los Angeles area) steam generator electric power plant. The tan-
gentially fired burners are adapted to burn either gas or oil. Conditions
to be tested were 67% power production with gas burning, and 67% and 100%
power production with oil burning. Gas burning, was tested on May 4, 1971
and oil burning was tested on May 5, 1971. Multiple head burners and re-
cycled gases were used to control the emissions. In addition, a Fyrite test
of stack gases for C02 and 02, a stack gas moisture content, and a velocity
traverse were to be measured.
II. SUMMARY AND COMMENTS
Table I shows the summarized NO test results. The gas burning NO'
results are within the expected range/ Four of the six oil burning NO results
are within the expected range: the other two are extremely low (both ^n the
West duct) and must be considered "no-tests." The reason is probably due to
the "smoking stack gases." This tangentially fired burning chamber can, because
of its configuration, exit "clear" properly burned gases from one duct and "black
emissions" improperly burned gases from the other duct at the same time. Both
ducts join to become a common duct prior to entrance into the stack. The next
two lowest results were also in the West duct further indicating combustion
(Irfriv-uKicS in thai; duct. Table II shows the detailed NO results; and Table
III shows the mg NOp/sample. x
III. > PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIC!!
Appendix B describes the process. Except for the "black emissions"
gases mentioned in Section II Summary, the process was normal. "Black emissions"
occurred when the electric load exceeded 90% (288 MW), therefore 90% load was
tested i.n lieu of the desired 100% load. A computer printout of the data which
is monitored is included in Appendix B, also.

ALAMITOS GENERATING STATION
Long Beach, California
November 3, 1970
^°*,Units 3 and h are both equipped vith a G. E. 312 process
computer. Upon installation in 196l, the 312 system was expected
to perform routine start-up and shutdown of each unit. The required
control was not achieved and the system has since been modified.
The 312 gathers information from instruments measuring pro-
cess variables. It performs computations and prints information
about the process '
Logical decisions to be made by the G. E. 312 computer
are specified by a set of computer commands stored within the
memory of the computer. This set of commands, called a program,
may be modified automatically by the computer to adjust to the
changing conditions of the process being monitored.
Mor/e specifically, the computer is charged with perform-
ing the following duties at this station.
//
1.. Scanning of process variables, pressures, temperatures, levels,
etc. of operating unit.
2. Performance and heat rate calculations.
3. Hourly and half hour logging.
U. Alarming.
The computer monitors 520 analog input points or signals,
and 6HO digital inputs.
The system inputs are divided into three classes: Class I,
Class IA, and Class II. Class I inputs are scanned once each
second; Class IA inputs once every two seconds; and Class II once
each minute.
The computer utilizes a magnetic drum type memory with a
storage capability of 52,000 words.
Selection of the various inputs is made, utilizing a matrix
composed of mercury wetted relays.

-£s=>Units 3 4 ^ at 320 MW are equivalent to 1*29,000 HP (electrical) each.
Units 5 & 6 at 1»80 MW are equivalent to 6M,000 HP (electrical) each.
Units 1 & 2 L.P. turbine wheel is 7*5" in diameter - traveling at 3600
r.p.m. the rim speed is 953 m.p.h.
i
Units i & h L.P. turbine wheel is 17' in diameter-- traveling at 1800
r.p.m. the rim speed is 1092 m.p.h.
Units 5 & 6 L.P. turbine wheel is lV8" in diameter - traveling at 1800
r.p.m. -the rim speed is 9^2 m.p.h.
Alamitos made 8,963,500 gallons of distilled water in January, 1970.
Alamitos circulators pump a total of 882,000 GPM salt water. Our
/ circulators pump enoxigh vater to fill Shaver Lake in
36 days.
'I .':
The auxiliary load (motors required to run the unit) on 5 or 6 is
normally 9>000 KW per hour at full, load on the generator.
The average household uses 7,000 KW for the whole year.
The generating capacity at Alamitos is 1-1/2 times that of Eoulder
Dam.
Total Edison Hydro Generation, 1,. 007,850 KW, is, equal to Alamitos
Units 1, 2, 3 & 1* output.
Generation is at 18,000 volts, is stepped up through forced oil and
forced air cooled transformers to 220,000 volts and trans-
mitted into the system. Westinghouse SF'6 gas breakers in
the 220,000 volt switchyard are used to synchronize the
generator to the line and clear the generator or line in
emergency.
