RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, have been grouped into seven series.
These seven broad categories were established to facilitate further
development and application of environmental technology. Elimination
of traditional grouping was consciously planned to foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related fields. The seven series
are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from
the effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment
Research and Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's
mission to protect the public health and welfare from adverse effects
of pollutants associated with energy systems. The goal of the Program
is to assure the rapid development of domestic energy supplies in an
environmentally—compatible manner by providing the necessary
environmental data and control technology. Investigations include
analyses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health
and ecological effects; assessments of, and development of, control
technologies for energy systems; and integrated assessments of a wide
range of energy-related environmental issues.

Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22161.

FOREWORD
This volume is one of two works. Together they contain project-level
descriptions of nearly all of the $100-million in research and development
funded by the EPA-coordinated Interagency Energy/Environment R&D Program
in fiscal year 1976. This is the second year in which this office has prepared
such a program listing. To make this year1 s effort more useful, we have
coded the edges of the pages with marks. The wide marks indicate the Inter-
agency Research category in which the project falls.
The project-level descriptions in this volume describe the environmental
control technology research funded by the FY 1976 Interagency Energy/Environ-
ment R&D Program coordinated by the Office of Energy, Minerals and Industry.
Each project is assigned to one of nine research, development, and demonstra-
tion categories:
• Energy resource extraction
• Physical and chemical coal cleaning
• Flue gas cleaning
• Direct combustion
• Synthetic fuels
• Nuclear
• Thermal
• Improved efficiency
• Advanced systems
Within each R&D category, program abstracts are grouped by agency. A table
of contents has been provided at the beginning of each R&D category.
Project descriptions are culled from "Notice of Research Project" forms
prepared by the appropriate laboratories and agencies using the Smithsonian
Science Information Exchange (SSIE) format. The enclosed tables reflect the
FY 1976 Interagency Program budget. Table 1 summarizes the funding for coal-
related control technology R&D by agency and fuel cycle, while Table 2
summarizes the funding by energy cycle. Table 3 shows the EPA in-house funding
breakdown by R&D category and Table 4 illustrates the Interagency Program
funding by performing agency (EPA and pass-through). Tables 5-9 give the fund-
ing by fuel source for each agency (EPA, ERDA, DOI, USDA, and TVA respectively)
Tables 10-18 depict the funding levels found within each of the nine control
technology R&D categories. Table 19 lists the EPA and pass-through projects and
project officers by performing agency, appropriate laboratory or division, and the
program element.

It is proposed to demonstrate that the modified block cut method
of surface mining will provide for on-site control of sedimentation.
The project will demonstrate the importance of preplanning process as
an integral part of the control process. Techniques to be considered
are (1) miniir.izing the area disturbed by eliminating the overfall and
stripping small sections at one time, (2) controlling the floi; of water
above the mined area by the use of a diversion terrace, (3) vegetative
"filter" .on terraces below site, (4) returning the soil to its original
grade eliminating the highwall and (5) immediate seeding and mulching.

•i. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility of and the
methods by which mine drainage pollution maybe abated from abandoned mine
• workings in areas with badly fractured, shallow overburden. •
••"' ' the program will consist of: (1) determining the extent of mining within
the study area to assess the interrelation of the various workings; (2) surface
• and subsurface exploration te evaluate the type and structural condition of the
materials encountered; (3) monitoring of discharges and streams for quality and
quantity of flows; and (4) evaluation of specific abatement techniques for the
-. problems encountered. .. • . . "
I : . " ' •
Snowy Creek - Laurel Run watershed in Preston County, West Virginia
was selected for the proposed demonstration project because: (1) the area is
relatively small, but has been extensively strip and deep mined, (2) significant
portions of the watersheds have shallow, badly fractured overburden, and
(3) the watershed is located in the headwaters of the Youghiogheny River which
is being evaluated by others under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (P.L. 90-542). ;

Objective -.Deteraine the economic benefits, if any, of intercepting ground-vater
inflow into an active coal nine with ecphasis on reducing the ancunt of
acid mine drainage.
Approach - Review the state-of-the-art in active coal mine .dewaterint; technolosy
by literature search and interviews.with key government and industri.il
personnel. Select several potential sites that lend themselves to
development of a pilot-scale dewatering project to support a feasibility
study. Prepare plans and specifications ai.d detarnine the feasibility
for conducting the pilot project at the bast available site.
Establish baseline data for the site selected by research, field explora-
tion, sampling and testing f°r hydrogeologic, hydrolo^ic and other
parameters. Construct and operate the pilot devataring project to
generate the technical and economic data required to evaluate the
method and degree of interception of ground-water inflow to an operating
mine that Is practical and economically feasible.
Current Plan." - A literature search is underway to develop a background of current
coal mine dewatering technology. A candidate list of potential sitas
is being prepared and site visits are planned.in February and March, 1975.
Site selection, pilot project plans, SPA and nine owner approvals are
planned to be completed by June 30, 1975: and field work is planned to
start at the selected sites in July, 1976.

This project will demonstrate the most effective methods of controlling the
erosion which results when land is disturbed and altered by the construction of access
roads to coal mining operations in the steeply sloping areas of Appalachia. The
methods of controlling .erosion on haul roads are techniques that can reasonably and
economically be constructed by conventional equipment that is normally used or is
'available to coal operators. Remote instrumentation will collect water quality data
for evaluation of the effectiveness of the erosion control methods.
The project'will be located in Martin County on the Pevler operations site, which
is part of the Island Creek Coal Company operation. .The exact road will be determined
from several which have been offered by Island Creek that best fits the need of
this project and will be built in the time frame of this project.

The manual of practice will set out the rationale in pre-mining site evaluation
so that mining and reclamation will be done in a manner so as to not only comply with
xisting and proposed state and federal mining programs but ensure minimal environ-
aental damages. The site evaluation will include the evalation of the soil and rock
properties, surface and Ground water resources, physical and cultural features, and
methods of mining ant! reclamation. It will consider the geological and hydrological
setting prior to mining as the basic inputs to the pre-mining planning.- The manual
of practice will provide guidelines and tm.ans of assessing alternatives in the areas
of water management, land use planning, and surface mine engineering, and will be
aostly based on information gained from literature review and critical evaluation of
aethods as reported in the literature and applied in the field. The H.O.P. shall
recommend methods, techniques and alternatives for selecting and designing mining
systems to achieve soil handling and storage, and overburden handling, segregation
and disposal. It will be presented in an orderly and concise manner. Liberal use
charts, maps, graphs, diagrams aad photographs will be made to substantiate the
description.
The Manual of Practice (M.O.P.) uill be designed to assist mine operators and
control personnel in developing, ovaQjating and selecting mining and reclamation
slans that will be least detrimental to the environment, prior to the commencement
jf mining.

1. Objectives of this study are to demonstrate the effectiveness of several surface
configurations in: controlling erosion, runoff,' sedimentation and pollution of adjacent
drainages; quickly producing a desirable stabilizing vegetative cover; creating an
equilibrium between precipitation absorbed and soil moisture evaporated and transpired
so that ground water pollution will remain minimal; producing an overall desirable recla-
mation design providing effective drainage, esthetics productiveness and use.
2. The approach will utilize five demonstration sites in Montana, North Dakota, and
Wyoming. Each site will be subjected to several similar treatments-and evaluated by
use of complete monitoring systems,
3. Current plans require 40 A tracts of new spoils at each of the designated sites to
be shaped, surface manipulation treatments applied and seeded to a broad mixture of
native and introduced forage species.
Key Words: reclamation, erosion control, sedimentation, water pollution, revegetation,
surface manipulation, infiltration, -leachate, ground water, runoff, hydrology, watershed.

The Northern Cheyenne Tribe, via the Northern Cheyenne Research Project, desired
to develop an in-depth knowledge of the chemical and physical character of reservation
water resources, and the interrelation of water to other resources, so that the tribe can
make formal choices in planning coal development. A three-year study plan has begun
to: (1) gather and interpret baseline data concerning the water resources and the inter-
relationships of these data to land, biocommunity, supply needs, and energy resources "
of the reservation; (2) ascertain potential adverse chemical, physical, and economic
impacts to reservation water resources from coal development; and (3) develop a compre-
hensive water resources management plan that will aid present and future planning for
resources exploitation. Standard field and laboratory methodology are being employed
in assessing the geology, surface water, and ground water of reservation lands. Baseline
discharge and water quality data collection has begun for 6 reservation streams. Well
inventories, a basic ground water monitoring program, and collection of ground water
quality data has begun. Stratigraphic correlation of the regional and local geology is being
undertaken to establish potential development or priority areas. During the second budget
period more detailed analyses of selected priority areas are planned.

If U. S. tar sands become a viable resource base for synthetic fuel, their
commercial development would create activities and sources with.potential for
environmental impacts. Processing bitumen from the mined tar sand would generate
solid waste sands while mining methods and associated impacts would be similar to
coal operations. This study ^will investigate impacts to be expected from mining,
processing and in site utilization of tar deposits.

The contractor is designing and testing, in two phases, a large scale oil re-
tention boom to operate in high currents. The streamlined boom concept was
demonstrated in a. Phase I effort. Currently in progress, Phase II is directed
at: (1) developing a fundamental understanding of the oil-water flow in the
vicinity of the bow wave that is formed in front of the boom at high current
speeds and to design a proper bow shape to reduce oil-water mixing; (2) de-
veloping a functional oil separation system for handling the flow into the
sump; (3) developing flotation and hydrodynamic control surfaces to facilitate
effective operation of the boom in a wide range of wave and current conditions.

The object of this contract is to design, fabricate and demonstrate a system for
recovering oil from the surface of inland waters by means of polyurethane sorbent.
The system is to be capable of collection rates of up to 11 cubic meters per hour
from a 1.5 mm thick slick.
In the normal mode of operation, the system is mounted on the deck of a collection
vessel. Uniform chips of sorbent foam are broadcast into the slick ahead of the
collection vessel. After a short residence time, the oil laden sorbent is har-
vested by an inclined open wire mesh conveyor belt. The oil is removed from the
sorbent by squeezing the foam in a regenerator-collector. The regenerated foam
is then rebroadcast and the process proceeds on a continuous basis.
Testing of the completed system at the EPA OHMSETT facility in Leonardo, New Jersey
took place in September 1975.

The objectives of this project are to provide for efficient action to minimize
damage to shorelines from oil and hazardous substance discharges including con-
tainment, dispersal and removal.
EPA headquarters has specifically expressed the need for, and given the highest
priority to, Manuals of Practice (MOP) to meet the operational needs of field
personnel during spill response actions to protect and restore threatened and
contaminated shore areas. The projects associated with the milestone will sat-
isfy the need by supplying Manuals of Practice which will be utilized by on-
the-scene field personnel.
For the accomplishment of this milestone, the approach or methodology is to eval-
uate and select from the currently practiced state-of-the-art those field rele-
vant methods and techniques for reduction to concise descriptive handbook format
for on-the-scene use by field personnel.
The manuals will emphasize the decision process through which the field personnel
must progress in order to arrive at the proper recommendation. For example, in
protecting a marsh area, some questions that should be answered may include the
type of marsh grasses, the inhabitants of the marsh, the time of year, expected
weather conditions and the ecological, recreational, commercial and aesthetic
value of the marsh.
Field procedures will be appended for utilizing existing products, equipment and
supplies. These procedures will outline in concise descriptive format the step-
by-step approach for implementation by the on-the-scene field personnel.

This project is intended to define the state-of-the-art of pipeline leak detec-
tion and to develop an improved technique or set of techniques to advance this
area of technology.
At present, a large percentage of inland oil spills are due to pipeline failures
of various types. Additionally, with new portions of the outer continental
shelf being developed for oil and gas resources, pipelines will be the principal
means of moving the products to. shore, and through various onshore facilities.
The present state-of-the-art of pipeline leak detection permits sizeable quanti-
ties of material to flow from the pipe prior to shutdown. Therefore, it is
necessary to attempt to advance the state-of-the-art of leak detection to mini-
mize environmental impacts of leaking pipelines.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives. (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 word! or leas. Omit confidential data).
In 1rn- Smithsonian Srli-nci- Infumution EtchanRe, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
The objective is to develop a first generation manual of practice for environmental-
ly acceptable utilization of oil spill dispersants to "prevent or substantially re-
duce explosion or fire hazard to property", or "prevent or reduce substantial hazard
to a major segment of the populations of vulnerable species of waterfowl", or "result
in least overall environmental damage, or interference with designated water use".
The approach utilized will be the reduction of the scientific and technical litera-
ture currently existing into a practical, utilitarian format which establishes guide-
lines and criteria to implement both the "spirit and letter" of Annex X (Schedule of
Chemicals and Other Additives to Remove Oil and Hazardous Substances Discharge) of
the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (CFR, Vol. 40,
No. 28, February 10, 1975). Additionally, an inventory of available equipment and
agent application and use experts will be developed.
Numerous studies have documented the adverse toxicological properties of dispersants
and oil alone, and in combination. As a result dispersants are not utilized in prac-
tice as an effective oil spill control and countermeasure option. Products, techni-
ques and equipment for field use are available. What is needed is guidelines for
their use in an environmentally acceptable manner. The decision making process to
use or not to use dispersants is complex and involves practical compromise or trade
offs between the several available options for cleanup and control. However dis-
persants do have their place in the arsenal of spill control options. The proper
use of dispersants at the right time and place could significantly mitigate the
adverse environmental effects of oil spills. This project will identify the proper
use of dispersants, as well as field methods, equipment, techniques and application
experts for their use in an environmentally acceptable manner. Additionally, dis-

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request'such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
The purpose of this project is to continue with the development of an air-operated
spill .control boom previously developed under R&D contract by Tetradyne Corporation
of Dallas, Texas. The boom has significant potential for use inland where debris
and fast currents limit the applicability of conventional booms.
This project will be executed by means of an RFP written to enable a contractor to
build a prototype boom to the specifications of performance that were developed
under the previous project. It is expected that three projects will be required;
one to fabricate the prototype, one to tank test the prototype at OHMSETT and
provide related modifications, and a final project to field test the prototype.

The objective is to design, construct, demonstrate, and evaluate an incineration/de-
toxification system—mounted on two semitrailers for portability—for the environmental]
safe, continuous destruction of non-recoverable wastes accumulated during the on-site
cleanup of oil and hazardous material spills. The materials requiring destruction
will include hazardous materials, oils, processing residues, chlorinated hydrocarbons,
pesticides, paint, off-spec materials, etc., all of which may have been mixed with the
soil, cleanup agents, weeds, water, debris, etc., that are co-collected during spill
cleanup operations. The system shall be self-contained except for supplies of fuel and
water, suitable for over-the-road hauling without special permits, and capable of being
driven to and maintained at off-the-road sites. The system shall consist of: (1) a
loading hopper and ram or similar feed for solids and semi-solids and a burner for
pumpable liquids, (2) a rotary kiln that can be operated at about 1COO F if required,
(3) an afterburner that can operate to approximately 2300 F with a nominal residence
time of one second, (4) an ash quench/collection bin, (5) an air pollution control
train capable of cooling the afterburner gas, removing particulates, and scrubbing
toxic gases (HC1, SO , etc.) to the extent required by regulations and standards, (6) a
forced draft stack, 17) on-board diesel electric power supply, and (8) all auxiliary
equipment, tools, and short-life replacement parts, etc. The system shall handle at
least 50 gpm of 20,000 BTO/lb liquids or 1000 Ib/hr of equivalent solids. Particular
attention must be paid to the installation and stability of refractories so that these
can withstand transport. Appropriate instrumentation and controls are required. Ash,
residues, and spent scrubbing liquid must be suitable for environmentally safe disposal.

The objective of this project is to conduct full-scale, "real world", tests
on the effectiveness of six treatment agents in protecting shorelines from
waterborne oil spill contamination. The selected agents are those recommended
by four laboratory-scale projects previously funded by API. The project will
be conducted in two phases.
Phase I consists of a six task program to evaluate the ability of: water glass,
Polycb 694 (polyvinyl acetate), Oil Herder, citrus pectin, Micrococcus cerificans,
and Biopolymer 9700, as shoreline protection agents. The first three tasks,
which involve obtaining permits from Federal, state and local authorities for
field test sites on the East and West coasts and review of prior research to
define criteria and techniques for full-scale field tests, have been funded
separately by API.
The other tasks to be undertaken in Phase I are preliminary agent evaluation
tests, full-scale evaluation at the Seawaren Peninsula, Woodbridge, New Jersey, •
field test site, and final report preparation.
Phase II consists of evaluating additional products recently brought to the
attention of API and EPA by manufacturers. Additionally, new methods and tech-
niques on shoreline protection measures may be considered for field evaluation.

methodology and development for the New England DCS frontier as a basis for the
first series of workshops (held in 5 locations around the coastal U.S.).
. Involve State and local planners from the region where each workshop is held to
the maximum extent possible in preparation and in execution to enrich the total
content, to ensure useful feedback to NERBC, and to guarantee a nationally useful
body of information and methods.
Progress: IAG with USGS signed; ASPO contract signed; Federal and regional
advisory committees being formed; first workshops tentatively scheduled for
January 1977.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with.government and private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded 10 investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
(1) Objectives are to (a) develop a "framework" for the systematic analysis in the
socioeconomic context of policies to control hazardous wastes, (b) to make a
generalized analysis of the majority of existing and potential policies for hazard-
ous waste control, and to array these policies so that tha different impacts and
trade-offs between alternative policies are demonstrated.
(2) Approach will be to identify the "parties-at-interest" and the nature of the '
Impacts to which they are subjected, together with their possible responses.
This will lead to generalized policy analysis using benefit/cost analysis tech-
niques for quantifiable elements. Impacts of each policy-waste combination will
be compared. The approach will ba demonstrated by the use of one or two case
studies in which the analysis is pursued in greater detail.
(3) The one-year project is expected to commence in suraaer of 1976.

Oil shale deposits in the Upper Colorado-River Basin are located in the states of
Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Jhe large fraction.of potential commercial deposits
are contained in the Green River formation in the Fice'ance Basin of Colorado, however,
;The Green River formation is an Early Tertiary geologic unit, formed in a depositional
.basin during Eocene tiise. Topographic and structural highs surround the Piceance Basin
on the South, East, and West sides. Both surface and subsurface drainage are toward
:the North, to tha White River. The V.Tiite River is tributary to the Colorado.
jThe. specific objectives of the proposed project .are:
A) To gather all available data pertinent to the present and future assessment of the
water quality hydrology in the oil shale regions of the Upper Basin. These data will
be so.ught from universities, federal and state agencies, and private companies.
B) To suisraariae and analyze these data'toward the identification of data deficiencies
needs for additional data, and procedures for the assessment of the impact on water
quality hydrology.
C> To develop procedures for the quantitative assessment of the quantity and quality
of surface and subsurface runoff from processed shale residue and mine spoils, and to

With the anticipated increases in coal consumption in the next decade, greater demands
will be made on existing transportation systems.to move to market the abundant reserves
of coal in the U.S. Conventional transportation modes such as rail and barge will have
to expand their capabilities by overcoming whatever shortages may exist in manpower,
capital, and hardware. Simultaneously, lesser known systems such as coal in water
(slurry) pipelines will have to share the transportation load. With some half-dozen coal
slurry pipelines being considered for construction within the next five years, pending emi-
nent domain legislation,. it will be a matter of time before these lines are built.
A coal slurry pipeline system may impact the environment at three stages: design,
construction, operation and maintenance; and in three areas; slurry preparation, slurry
pipeline, and slurry separation.
It is proposed to study the environmental and pollution aspects of coal slurry pipelines.
This work would enhance the selection of better design, construction, and operation techni-
ques to provide a balance of engineering economics, and environmental considerations.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work irrprogress are exchanged with government ind private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary Is to be used for these purposes.
Obj ectives - The Land Reclamation Laboratory has been formed to address the need for
coordinated basic and applied research into the geophysical, geochemical, biological,
ecological, aquatic, and soil phenomena of mined land reclamation, especially relative
to cost-effective techniques for rehabilitating coal mined land. Near- and long-term
efforts are focused in the major U.S. coal resource regions where results will be
evaluated, disseminated, and coordinated with related studies of industry, academia,
and government agencies.
Approach - The Program is being conducted by interdisciplinary teams of scientists and
engineers to develop, test, evaluate, and assess field and laboratory surveillance
methods and monitoring systems for pre-, operational, and post-operational reclamation
activities associated with coal mining operations. The Program includes tasks of data
acquisition systems, geoscientific and ecological analysis methodology, techniques for
integrated and automated mine site monitoring systems, and ecosystem model development.
Current Activities - A. Many of the factors that determine reclamation practices and
subsequent success are region- or site-specific. Field sites therefore have been pre-
sently selected at mines in six of eight physiographic regions. These have been
selected to typify the region's reclamation problems, ranging from the Mountain and
Southwest to Eastern and Interior Regions. At each site, specific problems are being
studied in cooperation with the mining company, and assisted by academic personnel.
Impacts of mining on aquatic, hydrological, soil, geophysical, and geochemical systems
are being studied. Terrestrial ecosystem research is centered on restoration of vege-
tation.
B. Model development is being undertaken for aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems to predict environmental changes both from mining and as a result of
selected reclamation technologies. The models will rely heavily on data validated

A long-term stable diffusion barrier is needed: 1) to retain radium-226 with a
half-life of 1620 years in uranium tailings dumps for thousands of years, and 2) to
contain Radon 222, a gas with a relatively short half life of 3.3 days. Asphalt-soil
emulsions are proposed as an economical material to contain radium in the tailings
pile and to provide a barrier to radon diffusion. The objective of this work is to
formulate suitable asphalt emulsions, measurement of radioisotope diffusion through
such emulsions, and assessments of radiation and oxidation damage to asphalt emulsions.
Preliminary results of laboratory experiments using samples of uranium tailings
and a radon generator indicate no diffusion of radon through asphalt-soil emulsion
that are as thin as 1/16 inch. Further tests are being conducted on a variety of
tailings samples. No data are yet available on radium diffusion tests.

Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Hew Mexico, and Arizona.
Guideline development will consist of compilation of pertinent data with respect to
soil properties, climatic factors, vegetative Influences, and topographic variables
in areas where the potential is high for the mining of Western energy resources.
An approach to estimate soil losses on distnnbed land due to mining activities will
be developed. Soil erosion control and conservatMb practices utilized on Western
lands disturbed by mining will be identified and evaluated. Using collected data,
the developed soil loss estimation approach, and existing mined land reclamation
requirements for the Western states, general soil loss potentials will be derived.

The proposed effort is required to properly assess the technology available to adde
quately reilalm and revegetate lands disturbed during the surfacenmining of coal in
the interior western United States. It is also necessary to accurately project the
reclamation potential for lands that may be disturbed. It will be necessary to in-
ventory the existing quantitative reclamation experiments as well as the ongoing full-
scale reclamation projects to provide a common data base from which the assessment can
be made. Some additional measurements of revegetation success will be designed. Field
itespections of all mines and off-site reclamation efforts are necessary. Principal
investigators will be consulted as will mine operators. Key reclamation variables will
be identified and described for each activity. The results of ongoing reclamation
activities will be examined to determine their applicability to other areas. The
measures of reclamation success will be articulated. Criteria to determine when and
where reclamation is attainable and assured will be described and research to fill
these gaps will be developed.
In order to properly compare geographical areas with respect to their reclamation poten
tlal after lands have been mined or otherwise disturbed by development of th_> coal
resource, a map-assisted comparison (of reclamation potentials) will be produced for
the interior western United States. The eelative assessmentsoof rehabilitation poten-
tials will be absed upon criteria of reestablishing or enhancing pee-mining uses of the
land that are of economic importance. The map and related material will be produced
in two stages; one in draft - reconnaissance form; the second in refined form based
upon additional investigations and ready for publication.

Caustic leaching of coals by the Battelle Hydrothermal Treatment Process
is capable of removing up to 95% of the pyritic sulfur and 40% of the organic
sulfur. The process is also capable of removing significant amounts of ash and
other pollutant forming constituents from coal. A previous program evaluated
the fuel combustion and emission characteristics of raw and BMP coals in small
laboratory combustors. In the proposed work these studies are to be extended to:
1. evaluate combustion of raw and BHP coals in larger stoker fired and
multifuel furnaces.
2. evaluate and compare the combustion and emission characteristics of
coals treated by other physical and chemical processes.
Experimental work and engineering analyses are also to he conducted to evaluate
process improvements needed to lower the costs of caustic leaching.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (I) Objective*. (21 Approach. (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
The primary objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of
environmental pollution which results from coal transportation, coal storage, coal
cleaning and coal waste disposal. This assessment will include those pollutants
which are currently regulated and all other pollutants whether gaseous, liquid or
solid which pose potential significant health or ecological hazards.
All processes related to Coal Cleaning are being evaluated. These processes include
but are not necessarily limited to those techniques or operations for: physical or
chemical cleaning of steam coal to remove ash or sulfur, cleaning of metallurgical
coal, and the cleaning of coal for synthetic fuel or chemical plants. Coal trans-
portation evaluations will include assessments of transfer terminals, loading
terminals, unloading terminals and transport by rail, barge, ship and truck. Potential
pollution from coal storage at cleaning plants, transportation terminals and end-use
plants also are being considered. Coal waste disposal assessment is being directed
primarily at waste disposal at coal cleaning plants, however, coal mine waste
disposal may be considered for specific cases.
The underlying ultimate goals of this work are to insure that environmentally
acceptable processes are used in the expended implementation of coal cleaning
technology and to identify areas where pollution control technology development
is needed.

1) Objectives: To characterize coal, its products, byproducts, and wastes with regard
to their pollutants and possible mechanisms for control.
2~) Approach: Reliable methods will be developed or refined for identification of the
location, circumstances, and form in which organically-combined potential pol-
lutants in coal are bound and released.
3) Current Plans: Relatively unaltered organic portions from well-characterized whole
coals will be subjected to low and nediun temperature pyrolysis. Volatile products
including organically-combined heavy metals and sulfur, will be trapped and analyze<
by means of gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, neutron activation, atomic
absorption, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and other methods. Physical and
chemical properties of the coals will be related to the composition of volatile
products produced under various temperatures, heating rates, and atmospheres.
Methods of achieving a mass balance for selected volatile constituents will be
developed where applicable. The data obtained will be such that elements may be
quantitatively divided between the organic and inorganic portions of whole coal and
relatable to various coal conversion processes.

The objective of this program is to determine on a bench- and pilot-unit
scale the operating parameters for the IGT Process to desulfurize coal by
thermal and chemical means.
Coal will be treated with a reducing atmosphere in the presence of a sulfur
getter. Sulfur removal will be determined as a function of temperature,
residence time, coal/getter ratio, coal composition, and particle size.
In work to date under earlier contracts, Midwestern coal with 3.5-4% sulfur
content has been converted into solid fossil fuel that be burned directly in
conformance with Federal EPA New Source Performance Standards for sulfur emission.

The objective of this program is to conduct research and development which will
lead into a cost effective method for reducing sulfur oxide emissions (during coal
combustion) to environmentally acceptable levels.
The approach is based on the use of microwave energy which can be coupled
preferentially into iron pyrites and leachants and induce reactions which produce
sulfur compounds which can either be separated easily from coal, or do not convert
into sulfur oxides during combustion.
Results to date show that iron pyrite (FeS.) and NaOH do indeed couple with micro-
wave efficiently and react to form water soluble sulfur products. Coal on the
other hand is a low loss material. The plan is to investigate the mechanism of
energy absorption and important reactions involving sulfur rearrangement.

Studies will be continued to characterize the mineral matter, trace elements and
chemical composition of coals, concentrating on those from the Illinois Basin.
The techniques used will include radio-frequency low-temperature ashing and x-ray
diffraction spectroscopy. Following these analyses, statistical relationships
between major, minor, trace elements and mineral matter will be determined. The
elemental and mineral distributions will also be mapped stratigraphically and
areally. These data and the analyses of their distribution will be used to suggest
relationships to the environments of deposition of the coals and to the geochemical
environments which have affected the coal seams since their deposition.
Studies will also be performed to evaluate the trace element and mineral distribution
in the various size fractions and specific gravity ranges associated with physical
coal washing.

The "final" effluent water of oil-refineries is contaminated with organic compounds
that have not been eliminated by the typical wastewater treatment techniques, and with
organics- that, are sometimes produced in the activated-sludge treatment process itself.
These organics are commonly referred to as "refractory organics." -The stipulated EPA
model for removal of refractory and other organics in petroleum refinery wastewater
streams is outlined in EPA's "Refining Guidelines Document" and involves—the use of
mixed-media filtration and activated-sludge, plus activated carbon for the 1983 best
available treatment economically achievable (BATEA). As a. first step in the assess-
ment of this proposed treatment technology, identification must be made of trace
organics in refinery effluents which are both refractory from and adsorbed by activated
carbon. The research proposed here seeks to characterize refractory organics occurring
in final effluents from the activated-sludge treatment plants of four petroleum refin-
eries and from the effluent after it has then passed through temporarily-installed
activated carbon columns. It is also the goal of this research to quantify the effec-
tiveness of the activated-sludge/activated-carbon water treatment system for removing
organics^nAn evaluation-of_what needs to be; done, and the cost_of the requiredi
nology, will be Incorporated in a final report.

GCA/Technology Division for this program will conduct, two technology transfer
Conferences, prepare two draft capsule reports, and prepare six executive summaries.
!ie two technology transfer conferences will emphasize the collection of fine par-
iculates in order to facilitate compliance with emission standards. Conference ob-
ectives are to stimulate new ideas for fine participate control and to promote inter-
,'oange of ideas among experts and users of such devices.
The two draft capsule reports will deal with the transfer of technology in the
"ine particulate control area, in a format that is similar to previously published
'PA capsule reports. These reports, aimed at the upper management of industry or
.ovemment, will summarize the technology and its method of operation, assess the
i.gnificance of the new technology with regard to its performance and application to
ew sources, and evaluate the economics of installing'and operating the new technology.
The six executive sumnaries will discuss the approach followed and the signifi-
cance of the work reviewed. The subjects for these summaries will be major experi-
mental programs based primarily on past and present GCA activities in the fine particu-
ate control area.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies iup-
porting research »nd are forwarded t« investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be uaed tor these purposes.
1) Objective - to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of fabric filtratior
as a means of fine particle control at high temperatures (1500°F) and pressures
(10 ATM).
2) Approach - Phase I consists of a matrix of bench scale tests designed to demon-
strate the basic feasibility of candidate materials and regeneration mechanisms.
These materials will be developed by a combination of inhouse expertise and sub-
contracted work to a fabric weaver. The program will include the development
of a high temperature/pressure filtration theory; a Ihorough search for viable
materials to supplement those already identified; and the design, fabrication and
use of a bench scale testing apparatus. With the identification of the most
promising materials systems an economic analysis will be performed and recom-
mendations made for the continuation of the development program, i.e., Phase II.
Phase II of the proposed program will continue the development of the
promising concepts identified in Phase I. A pilot scale (500 scfm) facility will j
be constructed at Aerotherm to demonstrate the reliability of these concepts. i
3) Current plans - Phase I will be intiated 8/76 and will require 12 months for
completion. Phase II is anticipated to be a 15 month effort.

The objective is to conduct a theoretical and experimental
investigation to determine the effects of high temperature (1100°C), '
high pressure (15 atm), and particle diameter on particulate
collection mechanisms, and to identify mechanisms that might be
used to remove particles from high temperature and/or high pressure
gas streams. Existing and proposed energy processes requiring
high temperature and/or high pressure particulate cleanup will also
be studied-to determine the important characteristics, cleanup
requirements, and potential problems of each process.
The investigation will include a thorough literature search,
survey, and evaluation of the present state of knowledge concerning
high temperature and pressure aerosol mechanics and collection
mechanisms. Laboratory scale experiments will be conducted to
obtain necessary data on the behavior^-of aerosols in high temperature
and pressure environments, and the results will be used to improve
present theory, to identify useful high temperature and high pressure
collection mechanisms for particulate removal, and to recommend
programs for the development and demonstration of particulate control
devices based upon these mechanisms.

Objectives - The development of advanced energy sources such as coal
and shale oil gasification result in high tenperature and pressure
process gas streams which require removal of particulatea before
utilization. The objective of this research is to evaluate a novel
concept for fine particle control in these systems. The apparatus
would collect fine particles by mechanises such as diffusion, inertial
impaction, interception and electrophoresis.
Approach and Progress - A preliminary evaluation of tha new concept
will be performed , followed by experimental verification of fine
particle collection. Presently theoretical calculations are being
performed for mechanisms involved in particle collection and system
regeneration. The power and residence time requirements for particle
capture will be predicted for the rest promising machanisas. Based
on these calculations, preliminary bench-scale experiments will be
performed to demonstrate tha feasibility of fine particle capture in
the proposed particle collection system. This will be followed by
the economic analysis and recommendations. The second phase of the
project will consist of the construction and testing of a model of
the new concept with at least 500SCFM capacity.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (I) objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 word* or lex*. Omit confidential data).
In th<- Srnitltsoni.nn Soionci- Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porliriK research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the project is, to provide a pilot-scale electrostatic precipita-
tor (ESP) at the research EPA facility in Research Triangle Park, N. C. The ESP will
provide maximum flexibility, and accuracy consistent with the basic requirement that
its general configuration be similar to that of full-scale electrostatic precipitators.
A burner, humidifier, and a specially designed aerosol generator will be included in
order to provide a wide variety of atmospheres in the prec'lpitator unit. The feas-
ibility of providing a wet-dry facility will be investigated.
APPROACH:
Phase 1:
Prior to designing the precipitator, a survey of existing pilot-scale
installations will be made and experts in the field of ESP design and application will
be interiewed. With these background data, the features and parameters of the pilot
scale ESP will be established and the design will be undertaken.
Phase 2: The second part of the effort will be to fabricate and assemble the
precipitator at the Cherry Creek Field Site facility of the University of Denver for
ch-eck-out. Having proven the unit, it will be partially dismantled, shipped to
Research Triangle Park, N. C. and re-assembled.
CURRENT PLANS/PROGRESS
Current activity is being devoted to fabricating the precipitator for assembly
at the University of Denver.

The IERL-RTP is responsible for research, development and demonstration of air
pollution control technology for stationary sources of pollution. Many of the
engineering studies performed require complex measurement programs to provide
the detailed information necessary for technical and economic evaluation of the
process. The primary objective of this project is to provide an independent review
of the test and measurement programs and to provide assistance in the development
and/or modification of such programs.
Efforts undertaken will include a review of sampling locations and equipment
selection, analytical techniques proposed, data handling procedures and quality
assurance programs for selected major engineering studies. Recommendations for
alternative or modified approaches will be developed and cost/information evaluations
performed. On-site evaluations of measurement program implementation will be used as
a mechanism for quality control.
Present work includes the development of generalized approaches to measurement
program cost estimating.

SUMMARY or PROPOSED WORK - (1) otijftMivts, (2) Approach. (3) Cufrem Plans and/or Progrtsl (200 word! or lest. Omit confidential data).
In flue gas desulfurization systems employing aqueous scrubbing liquids, the
temperature of the flue gas is lowered to about 125 degrees F. The flue gas also
becomes saturated with water vapor and contains entrained liquid. In order to
protect equipment downstream of the scrubber from corrosion and solids deposition
and to improve plume dispersion from stacks, it generally is necessary to reheat the
stack gas downstream of the scrubber. However, stack gas reheat increases the
capital and operating costs of the FGD system, and some types of reheaters are subject
to corrosion and solids deposition which decrease the overall reliability of the system.
The purpose of this work is to survey current practice in the utility industry
to assess the present status of reheat technology, to make economic and reliability
comparisons of the various systems and the various ways of obtaining reheat, and to
determine more precisely those factors which affect the need for reheat, whether
reheat is required under all combinations of these factors, and whether some types of
FGD systems may have inherent advantages over others.
A competitive RFP has been prepared to conduct approximately a fourteen month
study to answer these objectives. The contractor will survey utilities, vendors,
and other organizations with FGD expertise regarding stack gas reheat, economic and
reliability comparisons will be made among the various systems for obtaining reheat
for FGD systems, and the degree of reheat required by FGD systems will be determined.
Seven proposals have been received in response to the RFP and are presently being
evaluated to select a contractor.

Objectives:
Develop experimental techniques which can be used to identify, characterize and
measure the solid solution formed by calcium sulfate and calcium sulfite. Develop a
theoretical framework for liquid-solid equilibrium (or kinetics) that can be used for
predicting the conditions necessary for unsaturated operation of lime and limestone
S02 scrubbers at given levels of chloride and oxidation.
Approach:
A bench scale reactor is used to mix a limestone slurry with solutions containing
sulfate and sulfite in varying concentrations. The sulfate composition of the solids
precipitated from solutions subsaturated with respect to CaSO^-Zl^O are measured as a
function of temperature, precipitation rate, sulfate ion concentration and magnesium
concentration. The results will be compared to that obtained without limestone
(precipitation from clean solutions) to determine the effect of local concentration
gradiants surrounding dissolving limestone particles.
Plans:

Based on earlier testing at Shawnee and in the EPA pilot plant, Bechtel is conduct!
an advanced test program at Shawnee to supply information and optimize lime and limeston;
scrubbing systems in the areas of: improving sludge disposal properties, improved syste-
control and reliability, variable load operation, and improved process economics, A two
year advanced test program on two scrubber systems was planned to study these advanced
test concepts. However, concurrent testing in the EPA pilot plant, and subsequent
testing at Shawnee have indicated that further study of some of the advanced test con-
cepts offer even greater potential for improvement than was originally thought. Of
particular significance is the staged scrubber operation developed in the EPA pilot
plant, in which both high alkali utilization and high oxidation of sulfite to sulfate is
obtained. Successful application on a larger scale of these operating concepts could
favorably affect both the economics of scrubbing and the quantity and quality of the
sludge produced. Furthermore, alkali utilization studies have shown a correlation
between alkali utilization and the accumulation of mud-type solids. With high alkali
utilization, accumulation of the mud-type solids is dramatically reduced, eliminating
many of the persistant reliability problems, especially in the mist eliminator area.
Based on these recent test results, the advanced test program was extended to provide
adequate time to further study these important concepts. Operation through calendar
year 1977 is now anticipated.

As part of the demonstration program carried out under provisions of
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970, EPA has undertaken the demonstra-
tion of several flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes on a scale
that approximates a single train of a full scale, multi-train, com-
mercial installation. The accelerated energy-related program within
EPA includes funds for an advanced FGD demonstration system. It is
intended that the system produce elemental sulfur as its primary
product, be capable of high SOj removal efficiencies, and utilize a
reductant material other than natural gas.
The purpose of this effort is to provide for a comprehensive Test and
Evaluation Program in conjunction with the demonstration of an
advanced flue gas desulfurization process having significant advantages
over currently available technology. The system to be provided will be
. capable of producing elemental sulfur, be capable of high S02 removal
efficiencies, and utilize reductants other than natural gas. The
test and evaluation program will also include baseline and acceptance testing.

ros (200 words or lesi. Omit confidential data).
The objectives of this 3-year systems study are to (1) identify the multi-media
environmental impact of stationary combustion sources and NO^ combustion modification
controls and (2) identify the most cost effective combustion modification approach (es)
to achieving and maintaining air quality for NO.. The results of this study will
guide the development and subsequent implementation of environmentally sound NO.
control techniques. Detailed process engineering and multimedia impact studies'
will be made of the application of commercial heating systems, stationary engines
and industrial process furnaces as well as of alternate concepts such as the use
of catalytic combustion or of clean fuels. Control of NO emissions by combustion
process modification will be emphasized for near-term application. The combination
of combustion modification with post-combustion flue gas treatment will be consid-
ered for application in the post-1980 period.
The initial effort, in progress, is to generate a comprehensive inventory and
projection of gaseous, liquid and solid effluents for both controlled and uncontrolled
sources. The environmental stresses of the sources and control systems will be
evaluated according to pollutant transport and transformation and ultimate receptor
impact. Field emission tests will be made to augment the existing data base.
Process studies will yield data on control effectiveness, energy efficiency, cost
and differential trace emissions for current and emerging control systems. The
study will culminate with a system analysis which will integrate the process
engineering and environmental impact results to determine the optimum combination
of the control systems under consideration, on a regional basis, to comply with
NO- air quality standards.

Under ongoing programs NO emissions from gas-fired boilers at full load have '
been reduced by as much as 81 percent, or as little as 37 percent depending on size,
configuration, and operating characteristics of the unit. Reduction for oil and coal-
fired boilers range from 60 to 30 percent, and 60 to 20 percent, respectively.
Although these reductions are significant, they do not necessarily represent the
maximum, practical attainable values. In application of combustion modification
techniques where NO reductions were achieved, the degree of reduction has been
limited by the excessive emission of CO or smoke, or the occurrence of combustion
instability or flame lift-off. By relieving these problems by several proposed
methods further reduction in NO could be achieved.
This research grant includes three sub-tasks involved in the general investigation
of practical methods to reduce NO emissions in utility boilers; namely, (1) combustion
and flame stability, (2) effects of combustion modification on plant efficiency, and
(3) effect of combustion modifications on tangential oil-fired boilers, and two
sub-tasks in the continuing compilation and up-date of the emissions inventory;
namely, (1) utility and industrial boiler data up-date and (2) addition of other
major point source categories. In this third year's effort, the emphasis will be
on two major tasks: (1) NO control, in which three previously developed models
will be improved, simplified, and incorporated into one model; (2] the up-date of
the emissions inventory of NO , CO, HC and particulate will be completed with the
compilation of data for the stationary sources associated with (a) mineral products,
(b) secondary metals, and (c) wood products.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this program are (1) to evaluate emissions from
residential and small commercial stoker-fired boilers under typical boiler
operation, including smokeless operation, and (2) to assess the advisability
of increased utilization of coal for these applications,
APPROACH: This program consists of nine tasks designed to evaluate emissions,
including POM, from the small stoker boiler firing anthracite, bituminous, Western,
and "smokeless" coal for several operating cycles. In addition to the experimental
aspects, survey to evaluate small commercially available stokers and to evaluate
the manufacturing process for smokeless coal will be conducted. From the results
of the experimental program and the findings of the survey, a program will be
recommended to increase the environmental acceptability and to improve the economics
of residential and small commercial stoker boilers.
CURRENT PLANS: Project work was started on November 1, 1974, and is expected to
be completed by September 31, 1976.

Initial effort will be directed at evaluation of emissions from a small-scale stoker
firing untreated, reconstituted, and processed coals. An experimental program will
be conducted with these coals and a comprehensive analysis made to evaluate the
potential for emissions control.
The program will continue with the contractor preparing a full scale industrial
stoker boiler (2S,0001bs steam prober) for control modification studies and fuel
testing. A test program to evaluate the emissions reduction for several modifications
will be conducted including comprehensive sampling and analysis for a complete
determination of pollutant emissions. An assessment of the environmental impact of
the new technology will be made to determine the future acceptability of stoker boilers

porting research :md are forwarded la investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
If fabric filters can be made to operate at higher than conven-
tional velocity, a proportional reduction in filter size and initial
cost will be possible, making these efficient collectors attractive
for many applications where they are not currently used. For exam-
ple, a high velocity filter operating at a superficial filtration
alocity of 25 cm/s (air to cloth ratio of 50 cfm/ft2) need be only
10 to 25 per cent as large as a unit operating at conventional velocitle
The objectives of the proposed work are: 1) to study the practi-
cality of high velocity fabric filtration, 2) to investigate phenomena
which limit effective high velocity operation, and 3) to develop models
to interpret and predict fabric filter performance. To achieve these
objectives, we will study pulse-Jet cleaning at high velocity, the
collection efficiency of filters at high velocity, penetration mecha-
nisms which operate, and we will develop models to describe the per-
formance of high velocity filtration systems.
Fabric filters are the most efficient of industrial dust collectors
for fine particle emissions and yet their operation is poorly understood
An understanding of r*he means by which particles pass through, collect
in, and are cleaned from a fabric filter is essential if high velocity
filtration technology is to proceed rationally and if successful models
for predicting filter performance at high as well as conventional
velocity are to be developed.

The electrostatic effects being studied can be divided into two classes:
1. The deposition of dust on the surface and 2. effects between fibers
of a fabric. We have found that under the proper electrostatic conditions
most of the dust can be deposited as a porous layer or filter cake thus
giving a low-pressure drop filter. Conditions which maximize this effect
are being studied. Almost all of this porous deposit is easily removed
in the cleaning cycle. However the removal of dust during the cleaning
cycle is not perfect. After long periods of operation a nonporous deposit
of dust can form that is attached to fibers extending from the fabric.
This can be difficult to remove and result in a high-pressure drop. The
mechanism by which this nonporous, adherent, deposit forms and methods
for its removal are being investigated. Other tests indicate that there
can be significant electric fields between fibers of a fabric. The
mechanism responsible for the fields and their significance are being
investigated.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the performance of four different industrial
fabric filter systems (two electric utility boilers at Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and
Nucla, Colorado, an electric arc furnace and a municipal incinerator) and to use these
data and laboratory generated data to develop mathematical models useful for the design
of fabric filter systems. Of particular importance is the particulate removal effic-
iency of baghouses as a function of particle size. The fractional efficiency of fabric
filters is determined by sampling with inertial and diffusional sizing techniques and
the total mass efficiency is determined utilizing simultaneous upstream and downstream
Method 5 techniques.
During the field evaluation tasks, certain baghouse and process operating parameters
are also being changed to ascertain their effect, if any, in baghouse performance.
Logs of all pertinent process and baghouse data are kept and feedstock and effluent
samples are being analyzed so that uncontrollable variables can also be monitored.
The laboratory program is being conducted to provide additional data for the develop-
ment and testing of predictive models of fabric filter behavior. Emphasis is being
placed on the development of models for fabric filter systems used for the control of
emissions from coal-fired utility boilers.

The purpose of the Grant is to quantitatively evaluate the performance of
typical fabric filters operated in the pilot-scale baghouses already installed at the
Nashville Thermal Transfer Corporation. The immediate goal is to identify optimum
or near-optimum fabrics and filtering conditions for particulate removal from a slip-
stream of the solid waste fired boilers operating at NTTC. Three different fabrics
will be evaluated in the reverse air baghouse; one, in the pulse-jet baghouse. For
each fabric and baghouse, mass and fractional efficiency of particulate collection will
be determined. Efficiency measurements will be made at various air-to-cloth ratios as
well as measurements of the pressure drops across the bags. From these field data cost
estimates, both operating and annualized (operating costs plus depreciation of initial
investment) of this control method for this type source will be prepared. Performance
and cost comparisons will be made with the two major alternative control methods,
electrostatic precipitators and wet scrubbers. Conclusions regarding the potential
of baghouses for municipal incinerators will be prepared including recommendations for
specific follow-on investigations if warranted.

The purpose of these investigations is to report the potential value of various
new fabrics as baghouse filters and to investigate basic aspects of the
fabric filtration process. The information so generated is for both users and
suppliers of fabric filters. The overall goal of the program is to achieve a.
more effective, lower cost method of controlling particulate emissions, especially
fine particulates (diameter less than 3 urn).
The testing consists of simulating baghouse operation in one of three laboratory
equipments: a shaker cleaned unit, a pulse-jet unit and a high tenperature unit.
The latter unit is being replaced by a unit of more versatile design, scheduled
to become operational during the summer of 1977.
Topics investigated to date include assessment of the following fabrics: non-woven
polyester, various needled felts, expanded polytetrafluorethylene laminate and
trade named fabrics. Both endurance and performance are determined. Special
subjects research include: aging effects, bag cleaning technology, fabric surface
finish effects and dust penetration studies. This work is being published as a
series of reports under the general title EPA Fabric Filtration Studies.

The objective of this procurement is to design, build and operate a facility that
can thermally decompose conditioning agents under temperature conditions likely to
exist in a stack and then subject these decomposition products to chemical analysis.
Conditioning agents are generally injected into the flue gas at high temperatures.
Thus, the decomposition products, and not the agent itself, are generally the
chemical species that will be emitted to the environment. This facility will provide
useful data on the potential for adverse environmental effects of conditioning agents.
The addition of chemical' agents either to the coal or to the flue gas is one method
of improving collection of high resistivity fly ash (e.g. from combustion of low
sulfur coal) by electrostatic precipitators. Sulfur trioxide, sodium carbonate, and
several proprietary chemicals have been used as conditioning agents. The general
effectiveness and possible environmental impact of the various conditioning agents
is unclear because of insufficient data.

SUMMARY OK PROPOSED WORK - (I) Objective*. <:) Approach. (3) Current Plans and/of Progress (200 words or less. Omi[ confidential data).
The objectives of this procurement are to develop relationships betwean particle
properties and electrostatic precipitator operating conditions and to demonstrate the
feasibility of special charging systems.
To meet these objectives the contractor shall conduct theroetical laboratory scale
experimental and small pilot scale studies.
Electrostatic precipitators are efficient dust collectors when particle and gas
properties do not limit allowable electrical operating conditions. Existing data are
inadequate for predicting the allowable conditions.
EPA sponsored research has indicated the precipitator designs incorporating special
charging systems may overcome many of the problems encountered with present electro-
static precipitator designs. However, existing information is adequate to determine
the feasibility of such systems especially for collection of high resistivity dust.

A previous study established that geometric fiber parameters such
as fiber diameter, surface roughness, cross-sectional shape, and crimp
affected the filtration performance of nonwoven fabrics made from the
fibers. That analysis was made with only two levels of each parameter,
with a capacity for measuring particle sizes not smaller than 2.5 \in,
and with test filters 100 mm in diameter. The proposed study will
carry out measurements with an extended range of those parameters found
to be significant and with instrumentation able to measure particles
at least as small as 0.1 urn. The validity of the most important
results will be tested by experiments involving a commercial-size bag
filter operating in a laboratory-scale baghouse.

The objective of this project is to design and construct three (3) Source
Assessment Stack Sampling (SASS) trains suitable for use in the Environmental
Protection Agency's Level 1 Environmental Assessment Program. Each train will
include four stages of participate size fractionation (three (3) cyclones and
one (1) filter), a Tenax trap capable of capturing volatile organic species,
an impinger system for capturing trace elements, and necessary gas flowrate and
temperature ironitaririg apparatus.
The program is divided into four (4) tasks. First, two partial SASS trains are
to be constructed for incinerator ship sampling. Second, a design report will
be prepared that analyses the various possible SASS options and features. Third,
after EPA has selected one of the designs presented, 1 complete SASS train will
be designed and constructed. Fourth, the two partial incinerator ship trains will
be upgraded to full SASS equivalency.

porting research and arc forwarded to Investigators who request such Information. Your summary 1* to be used for these purposes.
1. Objective; The objective of the proposed program is to investigate methods of inor-
ganic compound identification of particulate emissions, select candidate methods, and
based on the results of laboratory and field trials, to develop, validate, and opti-
mize a sampling and analytical methodology.
2. Approach; Subject to revision based on information obtained from a. literature search
the basic approach planned is: (a) Obtain large amounts of representative combustion
process emission samples and determine their complete cation-anion contents. Chemi-
cal and physical separations will be made of these followed by structural (diffrac-
tion, infrared) and voiiSaestate determinations. The objective here is to test and
evaluate analytical technology, (b) By use of a large niultifuel experimental furnace
generate fossils' fuel emissions under controlled combustion conditions and utilize an
existing thermodynamic data base to predict logical forms of the combustion products
to assist and guide the analytical techniques judged most useful via the Phase I
efforts, (c) Field test the developed analytical techniques at up to four fossil
fuel emission sources. Optimize and validate the methodology and describe performanc
specifications.
3. Current Plans: Literature search plus survey of prior and on-going research programs
Hi followed up by,personal discussions with identified researchers who have devel-
oped promising techniques. Concurrently large amounts of emission particulates from
coal and oil combustion sources will be obtained for laboratory trials of
methodology.

Objective: Demonstrate a method for effective control of secondary water pollution
resulting from a flue gas desulfun'zation process.
Approach: Waste from the Chiyoda Flue Gas Desulfurization Process will be treated
using the Resources Conservation Co. (RCC) 6,0)0 gallons per day Brine Concentrator
pilot evaporator. This vertical tube, vapor compression evaporator will concentrate
the waste stream using the RCC seed slurry process presently used in corrmercial
service treating cooling tower blowdown waters with chemistries similar to the
Chiyoda S02 Scrubber wastes.
Current Plans: A glassware analysis of the scrubber waste will provide a basis
for selection of evaporator operating conditions. These will be verified on a
bench model evaporator prior to a 90 day demonstration conducted at the Scholz
Power Station, Gulf Power Co., Sneads, Florida with the RCC 6,000 gpd evaporator
and the waste from the Chiyoda S02 scrubber liquid pond. The final report will
contain an estimate of operating and capital costs for providing full scale
treatment of the desulfurization stream.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (!) Objectives. (2) Approach. O) Currenl PUns and/or Projrcl. (200 word, or l.ss. Omit confidential dala).
The ability of organic material to produce cancer has been known for some time.
Field studies dealing with this class of compounds as pollutants have been relatively
few and usually limited in scope. Part of the reason for this has been the
complexity and expanse of sampling and analysis. However, increased efforts in
environmental assessment and technology development for stationary sources of
organics will require that engineers and scientists deal with these problems, and
with the need for methods development testing and applications research. Adequate
and cost-effective methods for organic pollutants becomes even more imperative in
light of the nature of many of the energy-related EPA projects.
The purpose of this effort is to provide for the evaluation, development, field
testing and applications research of the organic substances sampling and analytical
procedures necessary to conduct environmental assessments and technology development
projects in the energy and industrial processes programs. The contractor x^ill be
responsible for: measurement evaluation and development; preparation of guidelines
and recommended procedures; solution of specific problems; comprehensive analysis
of samples; and, assistance to project officers and contractors in the application
of procedures to specific process streams.

Abstract
This proposal provides for the design, construction, and monitoring of a model
(less than full scale) air pollution control system at the coal-fired power plant located
on the Fairbanks campus of the University of Alaska. The system operates on a
direct contact scrubber-condenser principal. By spraying water down the muzzle of
the power plant exhaust stack, counter to the direction of flow of the hot flue-gas,
the system is intended to perform the following function:
1) Eliminate, or to a large extent reduce, ice fog (frozen water vapor emissions)
from the exhaust stack during winter operation.
2) Remove fly ash and other particulate constituents from flue-gas.
3) Reduce oxides of sulfur and other noxious components of the flue-gas.
A total engineering evaluation of the system will be made, which will consider
both its viability as an air pollution system and its impact on the environment.

Task I. Soil heating to extend crop growing season—Specific objectives are (1) heating
soil to extend the crop growing season, and (2) improving production efficiency of field
and horticultural crops. Field experiments have been conducted in small plots using
buried electric cables and buried warm water pipes as heat. Porous plastic pipes were
used for subirrigation. Greenhouse experiments have been conducted in a 20" x 100'
double-layer plastic covered greenhouse, without a conventional heating system. The
soil is heated by running water through PVC pipes. Results with sweet corn, string bean
and summer squash, wuen planted early in April, showed yield increases of more than 50
percent due to the increased soil temperature. In a plastic covered greenhouse, with
the only source of heat being soil warmed by waste heat, high-quality yields of broccoli
cauliflower, and Bibb lettuce were produced in midwinter when outdoor production without
waste heat was negligible.
Task II. Biological recycling of nutrients from livestock wastes—Specific objectives
are (1) investigating the practical applications of waste heat to biological nutrient
recycling systems utilizing livestock waste to grow aquatic plants such as algae and
duckweed; (2) investigating the possibility of using fish, clams, and/or other organisms
as harvesters of the aquatic plants; and (3) processing these into high-protein feed
supplements for livestock. Outdoor test pool facilities, a plastic covered greenhouse,
and laboratory facilities have been erected at Muscle Shoals and preliminary work is
concentrating on developing growth response curves for filter feeding organisms.
Laboratory-scale research is testing the effectiveness of heated water to enhance plant
and animal growth rates in systems fertilized with swine manure. This type of system
would recycle nutrients for productive purposes and reduce the amount of nutrients
that would pass from feedlots and be lost to the environment.

The primary objectives of the study project are to summarize the energy requirements
of selected power plant stack gas S02 removal processes and then prepare economic and
feasibility analyses of process modifications for reducing and optimizing the energy
requirements for the processes. Conceptual design and cost studies will be surveyed
for energy requirement data. Also a survey will be made of the energy requirement data
for any existing demonstration and commercial units. The data obtained from these
surveys will be summarized and analyzed to establish a current base energy requirement
level for each of the processes. Feasibility and economic evaluations will then be
made of process modifications and variations for reducing and optimizing the energy
requirements. Process modifications and variations to be studied will include such
items as scrubber type, reheat level and type, heat recovery systems, etc.
The work on the project was delayed due to changes in the project schedule in
conjunction with the schedule on a sludge disposal cost study project being prepared
by TVA under the same contract. Thus very little progress has been made on the
project. Activity on the project will resume during the fourth quarter of CY 1976.
A preliminary meeting was held between TVA and EPA to discuss the premises and scope
for the project.

The primary purpose of Task I is to review recently developed processes for desulfuri-
zation of power plant stack gases; then, systematically select and evaluate those which
have the greatest degree of development and which are potentially attractive both
technically and economically. These evaluations will include preparation of flowsheets
material balances, and commercial layouts; definition of process equipment; estimation
of process equipment costs; preparation of capital investments and operating costs; and
analysis of design and economic variables for cost sensitivity.
As part of the overall EPA sludge disposal program, Task II of this project will pro-
vide a design and cost study of the numerous lime-limestone scrubbing sludge disposal i
alternatives. The economic and technical premises for these comparisons will be
established and surveys of cost studies and cost data for operating and planned
commercial units will be made.
Task Ila will provide a review and critique of a TRW conceptual design cost study for
an alumina extraction process utilizing lime-limestone scrubber sludge.
Task III is a continuing task of providing intermittent assistance to EPA in analyzing
published cost estimates of power plant stack gas emission abatement systems and
preparing brief reports of critique.
Task IV is similar in scope to Task I except the studies will cover front-end process
alternatives, such as coal conversion systems and coal washing techniques, to stack
gas treatment for emission control.
Task V is also similar in scope to Task I except the studies will provide assessments
of catalytic and non-catalytic NOx abatement systems applicable to power plant stack
gas emission control.

Conceptual design and economic studies and pilot-plant tests indicate that limestone
wet scrubbing offers good promise as an effective method of S02 emission control for
stack gases at large coal-fired power plants. Using two 10-MW-size scrubber trains,
a prototype-scale evaluation of the process is being conducted at Shawnee Steam Plant
(unit 10). The project is a joint effort of TVA, EPA, and Bechtel Corporation. The
project will evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and economics of limestone wet
scrubbing for removal of S02 and particulates from stack gas. Tests with lime are
also included. As part of this program, additional task efforts will include (1)
sludge treatment/disposal studies, (2) advanced limestone testing, (3) advanced
lime/dolomitic lime testing, (4) design/cost computer study, and (5) a gypsum-sludge
utilization study.

The purpose of Task I is to develop and improve a potassium scrubbing system for
removing S02 from stack gases, absorption of S02, decomposition of resultant potassium
pyrosulfite by pyrolysis, and reduction of pyrolysis product to enable production of
elemental sulfur. Laboratory work on the three steps has been completed. Bench-scale
work on the absorption step has been completed and work on the decomposition and
reduction steps is in progress.
The purpose of Task II is to develop better methods and equipment for promoting oxida-
tion in S02 recovery systems where this would be desirable and for coping with
inadvertent oxidation in systems where oxidation is undesirable. Exploratory tests
were made to study the selective precipitation of sulfate from potassium and ammoiium
sulfate-sulfite solutions by addition of barium carbonate. A gas-liquor contact
device was designed and built which has proven superior to a Japanese-developed
spinning cup oxidizer, with respect to oxygen and energy utilization, for oxidation
of ammonium, potassium, calcium, and zinc sulfites.
The purpose of Task III is to study recovery of S02 as dilute sulfuric acid and
utilization in fertilizer processes. Exploratory laboratory tests have been conducted
on freeze crystallization of ice from dilute phosphoric acid and ammonium phosphate
systems as a means of concentrating the phosphate. Planning is under way for studies
on extraction of phosphate rock with dilute sulfuric acid to produce dilute phosphoric
acid.

The objective of this project is to compare the commercially projected costs of both
atmospheric (AFB) and pressurized (PFB) fluidized-bed power plants to the costs of a
conventional coal-fired steam power plant utilizing flue gas desulfurization.
The approach includes: (l) establishment of design basis for comparison of each
power plant; (2) development of conceptual design and cost estimates for each power
plant; (3) comparison of total costs for each plant concept. NASA-ECA3 results will
provide conceptual design and cost estimates for the fluid-bed cases.
Current plans include: (1) modification of EGAS AFB and PFB design information to
enable direct comparison to the conventional plant design information provided by
HASA; (2) consolidation of design reviews prepared by various TVA divisions into a
single TVA utility review; (3) presentation of capital and operating costs associated
•with each of the three power plant types.

1) The primary objective of the project is to assess the environmental impact of the
disposal or utilization of residues from fluidj.zed bed coai combustion and high-sulfur
fuel oil gasification. The specific objectives are to: a) characterize the residues
from these processes, b) Identify the leachate quantities and constituents from land
disposal of the residues, c) evaluate the. potential environmental impact of disposing
the residues into different environments, and d) investigate the commercial utilization"
of these residues. '
2) Literature reviews, laboratory investigation, and field studies will be performed for
this project. The literature search will provide information on the disposal and utiliza-
tion of similar residues (coal ash, SOX scrubber residues). The laboratory investiga-
tions will characterize the residues and duplicate, on a bench scale, the environmental
disposal of the residues. Field studies will extend -and verify the laboratory results.
Laboratory investigations will also be conducted to determine the possibility of recover-
ing and marketing the residues. ' An evaluation of requirements for treating residues
will be made to see if treatment can enhance the product use or is required for disposal.
3) We are currently engaged in the literature searches and are preparing to initiate the
laboratory studies.

The intent of the MIT grant is to determine the NO formation-destruction processes in
continuously operated fluidized bed combustors. Batch type kinetic studies will be
carried out with an externally heated fluidized bed and a pressurized fluidized bed.
The objectives of the study are to develop a mechanistic mathematical model for the
prediction of NO emission, to provide physical-chemical input parameters for the model
by an experimental study, to generate information necessary for the development of
new control technology of NO emissions, and to test the mathematical models over
wide ranges of operating variables.
The results of this study have the potential to advance the present understanding of
the mechanism of formation and destruction of "fuel NO" in fluidized beds, and will
provide input parameters for prediction procedures used in optimization studies of
fluidized combustion.

TITLE OF PROJECT piei Approach. (}) Current Plans and/or Progreaa (200 words or leas. Omit confidential data).
The purpose of this work is to determine the effectiveness of known combustion
modification techniques to control pollutant emissions from industrial boilers. In
addition, the effort will establish what the boiler manufacturers and users can do
to control emissions with existing state-of-the-art technology and where combustion
research activities should be concentrated.
An experimental field test program was carried out to investigate the effects
of operating variables and combustion modification (e.g., excess air level, load,
flue gas recirculation, staged combustion, fuel temperature and burner design) on
air pollutatnt emissions from industrial boilers of various designs fired with coal,
oil, gas and mixed fuels. The pollutants of interest in this study were oxides of
nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, smoke, combustible and
non-combustible particulate and trace elements.
Final reports providing the data and conclusions from the testing of more than
sixty industrial boilers under a variety of conditions have been issued. At present,
an industrial boiler operator's manual and a manufacturer's manual are being prepared
and are expected to be completed in the first half of 1977.

The program objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of combustion modifications
as means of emissions reduction and thermal efficiency improvement on industrial com-
bustion equipment including kilns, ovens, dryers, process furnaces and heaters, boilers,
stationary engines and gas turbines.
The approach will involve a field test program to measure emissions of NO, NO^,
SO,, SO., CO, gaseous hydrocarbons, particulates, trace elements, organics (POM,
PCB) sulfates and nitrates. Baseline tests will be conducted on about twenty-five
representative combustion devices and combustion modifications will be implemented to
determine the influence on emissions and efficiency. These modifications include
lowered excess combustion air, staged combustion, reduced air preheat, fuel changes,
water injection and flue gas recirculation.
The program is an extension of work conducted on EPA Contract 68-02-1074 that
dealt with industrial boilers. Combustion modification technology that was found
effective on boilers will be extended to other industrial equipment, although
extensive tests on two industrial boilers equipped with staged air and/or flue gas
recirculation are included.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - n J Ot>ji".-ttves. (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
The purpose of this study is to field test power generation combustion equipment
including utility boilers, gas turbines, and stationary I. C. engines. Emphasis
will be placed on utility boilers firing coal, but the study will include tests of
gas-and oil-fired boilers and boilers capable of firing two or more fuels simultane-
ously. Tests with simultaneous firing of waste and fossil fuels shall also be
included
Emissions to be measured are oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, hydrocarbons,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, opacity, sulfates, nitrates, particulate
(mass and size distribution), POM, and trace elements. The effect of combustion
modification on air pollutant emissions and combustion efficiency will be determined.
Also, the effect of modified operation on equipment performance (e.g. slagging, foul-
ing, steam temperature control) will be investigated.
One primary goal is to determine the effect of staged combustion in coal-fired
boilers on tube wall corrosion rates. Staged combustion combined with low excess
air firing is the most attractive combustion modification combination because it is
an effective method of reducing NO and is relatively easy and inexpensive to
implement. However, some experts suspect the reducing atmosphere in the burner
zone to increase tube wall corrosion rates. The Contractor will use three methods
for measuring corrosion rates: (1) corrosion probes for an easy, inexpensive, but
probably an inaccurate method, (2) ultrasonic tube wall measurement which is more
costly but should provide an accurate mapping of the furnace tube wall surface, and
(3) test panels which will be welded into the boiler tube wall in areas where exten-
sive corrosion is anticipated. The test panels will be removed after a 6 to 12
month period for precise measurements.

This program will develop a set of combustion chamber design concepts for
reciprocating engines from a compilation of all available prior analytical and
experimental information and from the contractor's further thorough assessment
of the reciprocating combustion process. The set of design concepts will be
studied and a selection process established to identify the most promising
concepts utilizing mathematical modeling and/or other techniques for prediction
of emissions performance. Design concepts will then be implemented and tested
in an experimental facility capable of duplicating large bore reciprocating
engines. Based on the evaluation of the test results, the best design concepts
will be incorporated in full scale engines to develop the optimum configuration
and operating conditions for application in both diesel and gas engines.

The objective of this 28-month experimental research project is to develop
advanced low emission high efficiency combustion techniques for application to
industrial and utility boilers firing fossil and waste fuels. Primary emphasis
will be on control of o.xides of nitrogen (NO ) through modification of combustion
conditions. The facility is a subscale versatile furnace, with capacity of
3 x 10 Btu/hr, capable of firing a variety of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels.
The furnace may be operated either in the wall firing mode, using up to 10
individual burners, or in the tangential, corner, firing mode using up to 24
individual fuel/air nozzles. The research burners for single wall or opposed
wall firing are of a variable swirl double concentric design with capacities
of either 300,000 Btu/hr or 1.5 x 10 Btu/hr.
The first year effort will focus on NO control techniques for conventional
fossil fuels, primarily pulverized coal and'residual oil. Initially, the
combustion characteristics of the furnace will be studied to establish the
correspondence to full-scale utility and industrial boilers. Subsequent testing
will optimize NO control through two-stage combustion, flue gas recirculatlon
and low excess air firing for the wall fired and tengentially fired configurations.
Emphasis will be given to identification of optimum staging conditions for
reduction of NO from coal fired boilers.
The second year program will explore NO control techniques for the firing of
mixed conventional fuels, new alternate fuels, waste fuels, and mixtures of
conventional fuels with alternate or waste fuels.

A eighteen-month experimental and analytical program has been initiated to provide
information on fuel decomposition, fuel oxidation and flame reactions which is
required for the development of'a complete understanding of the chemical phenomena
involved in the conversion of organic fuel nitrogen compounds to NO^. during combus-
tion. The program is divided into three tasks. Task I consists of additional
experimental studies of the types of chemical reactions that fuel nitrogen species
can undergo as fuel reacts in the early (preflame) stages of combustion. Tiie
pyrolysis and oxidation of model nitrogen compounds, coals, residual oil and
alternate fuels will be investigated. Task II involves the study of combustion
kinetics involved in fuel NO formation from HCN and KH3 in premixed CH. flames
including: 1) interactions with thermal NO^ formation; 2) more detailed analysis
of nitrogen-containing species, and 3) organic nitrogen additives or diffusion
flame studies. Task III will involve summarizing the data analysis and synthe-
sizing the results into a quantitative scheme for the conversion of fuel nitrogen
to NO and other pollutants.

The objective of this program is the establishment of design criteria for application
of catalytical combustion to low emission, high efficiency stationary combustion
systems. To accomplish this, a research and development program consisting of experi-
mental small-scale catalyst and combustor concept screening, experiment"! and
theoretical scale-up work for promising concepts, and design development of proto-
type systems based on selected concepts has been outlined.
A number of catalyst systems have been evaluated by small-scale screer.ir.g experiments,
under a variety of conditions and for several different fuels. Based on the results
of single-component catalyst systems, one multi-component catalyst system has been
developed and is being tested extensively. The most promising systems will then be
further tested by integration into a practical combustion system. These small-scale
tests will investigate the effects of interstaged cooling, mixing of secondary air,
and bed heat removal. Data from these tests will be used to define optimum catalytic
systems and specific equipment applications, and also to identify the mechanisms of
catalyst performance by correlating the results with system properties and by con-
ducting detailed analytical studies with appropriate computing techniques, accounting
for flow, diffusion, homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction effects, and heat
transfer. Larger-scale catalyst system and system concept development experiments
will be performed for verification and further development of optimum system, 'and
conceptual designs of promising concepts will be made.

An eighteen month analytical and experimental program has established the technology
for an integrated residential furnace system to combine minimum pollutant emissions
with maximum system efficiency. The program is divided into two phases. Phase I
consisted of an analytical and experimental study to define the requirements of
system components. Phase II involved the assembly and testing of a prototype system
and the definition of an integrated residential heating system, capable of NO
emissions of less than O.Sg NO/kg of fuel with minimum CO, UHC and smoke, anct
overall system efficiency which is more than 10% higher than that achieved by
current conventional systems. The prototype met all goals, except that KO was
0.63 gm NO/kg of fuel; however, further system optimization is planned. x

---
Tins completed contract was a coordinated experimental and analytical investi-
gation of chemical mechanisms involved in the conversion of fuel nitrogen to NO
in combustion. The pyrolysis of fossil fuels and model fuel nitrogen compounds*
was investigated, droplet and particle combustion models were developed, and pre-
mixed flat-flame burner experiments were conducted to study the conversion of HCN
and NK3 to NO in low-pressure CH4-02-Ar flames. Decomposition rates and products
were measuredxin helium from 850 to HOC for pyridine, benzonitrile, quinoline,
and pyrrole; products were measured for six No. 6 fuel oils, one crude oil, and
two coals. HCN was the major nitrogen-containing pyrolysis product: the amount
formed increased with temperature. NH3 was a minor product and little if any N2
was formed. The burner experiments demonstrated that fuel NO forms relatively
slowly above the luminous zone in the same region where CO is oxidized to C02 or
later. Although HCN and NH3 gave similar yields of NO, the NH3 reacted very
early in the flame front; most of the HCN survived the luminous zone and then
reacted slowly. A mechanism was proposed in which fuel NO forms via the reaction:
0 + NCO = NO + CO.

An experimental program will be conducted to measure the concentrations of
the important stable and unstable species in methane-air flames. Particular
emphasis will be placed on a determination of the presence of nitrates and sul-
fates in the flame zone. In addition to searching for flame formed nitrates
the study will devote a major effort to determining if the nitrate presursor,
NO., is actually present in the early flame zone and if reactions are occuring
within the sampling probe which perturb the actual NO/NO,, concentration ratio.
Various sampling techniques will be employed including cooled and uncooled
quartz microprobes, optical spectroscopy, and molecular beam sampling for
measurements of radical species and stable species with interferences. The
molecular beam sampling - mass Spectrometry technique will be augmented by use
of the appearance potential measurements which greatly increases the number
of species which can be measured. Measurements will be made over, a range of
stoichiometries and with the NO resulting from conversion of both atmospheric
N» and fuel-bound nitrogen. One experimental series calls for doping the fuel
with hydrogen sulfide and sampling to identify the presence of flame formed
sulfates. This series of tests will be performed using the molecular beam
sampler so that not only sulfates but also their precursors will be identified.

who request such information. Your summary is to be us«d for these purposes.
The thermal efficiency of fuel oil combustion is often limited by the amout of
excess air required to maintain a low enough level of particulates (e.g., soot) in
the flue gases. High soot levels that would be associated with maxirajm efficiency
operation of oil burners, such as residential size burners, are unacceptable from
pollution as well as long-term efficiency (sooting of heat transfer surfaces)
considerations. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate a type of burner
which may allow combustion to proceed at low excess air levels and operate closer
to maximum efficiencies without the objectionally high pollution levels character-
istric of conventional burners operating in this mode.
An experimental study is planned to assess soot formation limitations and
operating characteristics of a thermal aerosol oil burner for combustion of -1 and
#2 fuel oils. Emphasis will be placed on the characterization of the fuel oil
atomization via a thermal aerosol nozzle from the viewpoint of combustion efficiency.
soot formation and equipment requirements. The effect of oil temperature and
pressure, inlet air temperature, fuel/air ratio, and firing rate on flame luminosity,
soot particle concentration and size distribution, NO emission and flue temperature
will be investigated.

A 24-month program has been initiated for design optimization, construction, and
field verification testing of a prototype of the low-emission, high-performance
residential warra-air-oil furnace which was developed under EPA Contract 68-02-1819.
The program will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will consist of
analysis and laboratory testing to further optimize the furnace design and document
its pollutant emissions and thermal efficiency performance. The optimum furnace's
capabilities to operate with alternate fuels will also be evaluated. In prepara-
tion for the next phase, the logistics of field testing residential furnaces will
be delineated. The second phase will be concerned with construction of a number
of integrated furnace units to be field tested, their installation in selected
residences and operation during an entire annual heating season. The emission
and performance characteristics of each test unit will be determined initially
and remeasured monthly. Operating conditions will not be adjusted unless required
to correct an unsafe or excessive emission condition. Complete descriptions of
the furnace design and capabilities will be documented in a concise form usable
by furnace manufacturers as a design guide book.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WOPK -
Results of package boiler burner experiments on heavy fuel oil have shown
significant promise for NO reduction; however, the effect of fuel properties
and atomization parameters as related to formation of NO and smoke has been
identified as an important unquantified factor. Further understanding of these
factors and their interaction with the combustion air flow under both combusting
and non-reacting conditions is necessary to optimize burners.
This research project is scoped to answer some of the essential questions and
includes: 1] evaluation of fuel-atomization scheme interactions on burner perform-
ance; 2} for selected nozzles determination of fuel and air flow interactions under
non-reacting conditions; and 3) the effect of flame confinement on burner perform-
ance.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effectiveness of known
combustion modification techniques in controlling pollutant emissions from convent-
ional residential and commercial heating equipment. In addition, another objective
was to establish what boiler manufacturers and users could do to control emissions
with existing state-of-the-art technology and where combustion research activities
should be concentrated.
An experimental testing program was developed and carried out in which the
effects of excess air level, load, flue gas recirculation, stagged combustion,
fuel temperature, burner design and similar considerations were assessed for
residential and commercial furnaces and boilers of various designs fired with
oil and gas. The pollutants of interest in this study were oxides of nitrogen,
oxides of sulfur, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, smoke, and filterable and total
particulate.
As a result of this investigation, reports (EPA-R2-73-084a and -084b)
presented the conclusions of this field test effort which measured emissions
and the effects of various combustion parameters and fuel-oil compositions
for 33 residential heating units and 13 commercial boilers. Manufacturer's
and operator's guideline manuals were also issued.

The purpose of this study is to perform measurements of polycyclic organic
matter (POM) and sub-micron particulate on a boiler firing oil and coal-oil
slurry to more thoroughly evaluate the environmental impact of the utilization
of coal-oil slurries as fuels. The contractor is already involved in the measure-
ment of a wide range of pollutants on a planned test program so this effort is in
an extension of othsr work.
This work involves the coordination of measurements of POM and sub-micron
particulate (O.Olum to lum) with planned tests on a 600,0001b steam/hr boiler
firing oil only and a coal-oil slurry. The measurements shall be taken under
full load baseline (oil only) conditions and at full load when firing the
slurry. The tests shall be coordinated so that data from simultaneous
measurements of N0x, CO, HC, S02> particulate and opacity will be available.
A final report summarizing the work will be prepared.

Commercial and industrial package boilers consume approximately 20% of the
nation's fuel and produce about 8% of the N'O .. Previous studies have shown that
NO formation is a burner phenomenon and that reductions of approximately 50% to
8oi can be realized by modifying the combustion process. It is the premise of this
study that these reductions can be accomplished through revised burner designs as
opposed to external flue gas reduction or staged air injection.
The experimental results indicate that it is possible to effect NO^ reduction
of 60 to 70% for a variety of nitrogen containing residual fuel oils by modifi-
cation of fuel-air mixing history. The study has identified the oil atomizer as
an important element of the design for reducing NO^ without increased carbon
losses.
It is anticipated that an optimum burner will be tested on a field operating
package boiler.

Utilization of low Btu gas (LEG) in an environmentally acceptable and energy
efficient manner requires careful attention to overall system design. While most
system aspects are bing extensively considered, the combustor for utilization of
high temperature, Nitrogen compound containing LBG without production of high
levels of NO. and other pollutants has not been given sufficient attention.
Preliminary calculations performed on EPA contract 68-02-1361 indicated signi-
ficant promise for control of thermal and fuel NO by proper combustion design.
This program will substantiate those concepts through a coordinated study
including: 1) combustor design calculations; 2) bench scale experiments; and
3) design and fabrication of two prototype combustors for testing at the IERL-RTP

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) OSj.cuvc,. C-) Approach. (3) Cur™. Plans and/or I>ro«re,s (200 wori. or les.. Omll con/id»«ial data).
An exploratory development program of analysis and experimentation will be con-
ducted to identify new stationary gas turbine combustion designs which reduce pol-
lutant emissions. Primary emphasis will be placed upon control of the oxides of
nitrogen (NO ) from both the thermal and fuel - bound sources, via dry techniques,
while at least maintaining current control of carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned
hydrocarbon (UHC).
The program is divided into four phases:
(1) a review of the various combustor design approaches; (2) screening experiments
of the various techniques; (3) design of full-scale combustors for a nominally 25 MW
stationary gas turbine engine; (4) evaluation of the full-scale combustors in both
test rigs and in an engine.
Through the performance of all four phases, the NOX concentration goals for the
combustor designs are 50 ppmv when burning gas or oil containing no more than trace
quantities of bound nitrogen and 100 ppmv when burning oil containing up to 0.5%
(by weight) of chemically bound nitrogen. The CO concentration goal is 100 ppmv
regardless of the fuel type.

The objective of this study is to combine the background and experience from
previous IGT program and to conduct carefully planned additional experiments
to produce optimum low-emissions burner design criteria for the major burner
classes. The study will establish the relative controls available through
the various burner designs and classical modification techniques as well as
establish what operation parameters will be changed. The specific result of
this program will be to establish alternative control strategies for gas
systems. It will also provide a basis for low-pollution design criteria
with other fossil fuel systems including low-Btu gases at ambient and
elevated delivery temperatures.

The objective of the project is to arrive at design criteria for low emission
burners for application to industrial and utility boilers and to establish scale
up criteria allowing application of the concepts to a variety of source sizes.
The emphasis is placed on pulverized coal.
The approach is based on small scale (5 x 10 Btu/hr) experimental studies
shewing the potential for reducing NO levels from pulverized coal burners to the
100-200 ppm level (fron 800). This s?udy utilized a combined experimental and
theoretical program to provide criteria for scaling these concepts to sizes of
practical interest (100-200 x 10 Btu/hr). The experimental program will provide
the data to derive the criteria and to assess multiple burner interaction effects.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (I) Objectives, <2) Approach. (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
The objective of this research is to determine the effect of fuel sulfur on the
formation of nitrogen oxides in combustion processes. In work previously
sponsored by EPA at the University of Arizona it was shown that in a laboratory
premixed gas flame, the addition of SO, or H.S to the fuel significantly inhibits
the formation of thermal NO.. Specifically, it was found that the equivalent of
about 3000 ppm SO,, in the exhaust could result in thermal NO reductions of between
ten and twenty percent, but that the greatest effect was present when SO,
concentrations v;ere high on the fuel lean side of the flame front. '.Vork"to be
accomplished during the second phase of this research is to conduct more fundamental
studies involving premixed flames, well defined diffusion flames and to deter-
mine the mechanisms controlling interactions between sulfur and nitrogenous species.
The ultimate objective is to interpret pilot scale data from a fundamental point of
view and to extend those results to combustion in general.

2. Investigate the effect of oil pressure, temperature and droplet size; inlet air
temperature; fuel/air ratio and firing rate; -on flame luminosity; soot particle
concentration and size distribution; NO emission, and flue temperature.
3. Preliminary experiments have shown that the subject burner is capable of supporting a
blue flame without visible smoke. The potential for low excess air coobustion stems
from the fact of the very fine atontisatioa achievable with such burners without
requiring costly equipment to generate very high oil pressures or compressed air.
Calculations, verified experimentally have shown that substantial fuel savings are
possible when currently used excess air levels are reduced to the 15-20Z level..

The report describes mathematical models that were developed to relatively
rank the environmental impact of water and solid residue emissions.
The water model, similar to an air prioritization model developed
in an earlier study, is based on mass emission, hazard potential of
the emission, ambient water loading, and population density in the
emission region. Solid emissions were divided into air and water
emission components and these contributions were incorporated into
air and water prioritization models. The report gives the relative

The program objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of combustion modifications
as means of emissions reduction arid thermal efficiency improvement on industrial com-
bustion equipment including kilns, ovens, dryers, process furnaces and heaters, boilers
stationary engines and gas turbines.
The approach will involve a field test program to measure emissions of NO, NOx,
S02, 203, CO, gaseous hydrocarbons, particulates, trace elements and or'ganics (POM,PCB) .
Baseline tests will be conducted on about twenty-five representative combustion devices
and combustion modifications will be implemented to determine the influence on emis-
sions and efficiency. These modifications include lowered excess combustion air,staged
combustion, reduced air preheat, fuel changes, water injection and flue gas recircula-
tion.
The program is an extension of work conducted on EPA Contract 68-02-1074 that deall
with industrial boilers. Combustion modification technology that was found effective
on boilers will be extended to "other industrial equipment.

The research activities being persued under this EPA in-house program fall into
two categories: 1) combustion aerodynamics and 2) chemical kinetics. In the
combustion aerodynamics category, studies are underway to define the influence
of external conbustor and burner variables on the flow field structure. Specific-
ally, a laser doppler velocimeter is being used to map the velocity and turbulence
field in a simulated furnace. External variables being investigated are the
burr.er confinement ratio, air swirl level, inlet quarl angle and inlet air velocity
level. The data so generated will be compared to predicted values from appro-
priate computer programs. In the chemical kinetics category, primary activity
centers around the use of computer codes to analyze kinetic data and to define
the mechanisms for the formation of NO An experimental facility is also under
construction which will allow for quicK response evaluation of interesting kinetic
phenomena

The objectives of this project are to (1) characterize and quantify the chemical and
physical components of coal pile drainage, (2) assess and quantify the chemical and
physical nature of ash pond effluent after the pH of the ash pond has been adjusted to
meet existing standards, (3) evaluate an ash pond monitoring program to determine the
sampling necessary to obtain reliable, representative information, CO assess and
characterize coal ash leachate on ground water, (5) evaluate and quantify the
chlorinated effluent in the discharge canal of a once-through cooling system, and
(6) characterize the gaseous and particulate emissions from two plants with different
type units, e.g. cyclone and tangential fired units.
The project will focus on determining the quantities of some trace elements in various
locations in and around the power plant. The samples will be analyzed for such trace
elements as mercury, cadmium, chromium, selenium, arsenic, and about eight to ten
other trace elements.
Current plans include continuation of an integrated sampling program on the coal pile
drainage, ash pond discharge, chlorinated effluent, coal ash leachate, and the gaseous
emissions including fine particulate.

In Ihi- Smithsonian Sricnci- Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting research and Me forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary la to be used for theae purposes.
The purposes of this project are to chemically and physically characterize ashes and
their waste effluents and to exa.mi.ne fly ash handling systems, disposal and utilization
methods, and treatment methods for water reuse. Mass balances around several facilities
having different boiler systems and coals may be incorporated to determine the different
in ash and effluent characteristics with variation in boiler design, operation, or coal
type. The scope of this project includes summarizing available information on ashes
and effluents, wet and dry handling systems, disposal and utilization of fly ash, and
methods of treatment for water reuse; characterizing ashes and effluents of several
plants; studies on disposal alternatives and specific ash problems; and studies on
processes for reusing or recycling wastewater streams from coal-fired power plants.
A draft report, "Characterization of Ash from Coal-Fired Power Plants," has been pre-
pared and sent to the Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval. A three-
day preliminary sampling program on one unit was conducted at Colbert Steam Plant in
October 1975 to test procedures, equipment, and personnel. Sampling points were the
coal scales, pulverizer, mechanical collector and electrostatic precipitator ash
hoppers, pyrite hopper, inflow water, and sluice waters for flyash, bottom ash, and
pyrites. An eight-day sampling program was conducted at Colbert Steam Plant in August
1976. The gas stream, both before and after the electrostatic precipitator, was
sampled in addition to those points sampled in the preliminary testing program* These
samples are now being chemically and physically analyzed.
Plans for this fiscal year are to begin the study of processes for reusing or recycling
wastewater streams from coal-fired power plants; to evaluate the data from the first
full-scale sampling program to characterize ashes and ash effluents; to conduct another
8-day sampling program at Kingston Steam Plant; and to summarize methods of treatment fc

The Environmental Protection Agency has recognized the fact that there
Is, at present, Inadequate knowledge of the environmental effects associated
with the commercial development of coal gasification. While this problem Is
being attacked In many ways, there 1s a definite need for an experimental
facility devoted entirely to the Identification of potentially harmful ef-
fluents from coal conversion processes.
This project 1s for operation, testing and evaluation of a small pilot
plant coal gasifier - gas cleaning facility to be located at North Carolina
State University.
The objective of the project 1s to determfne the performance character-
istics and the environmental Impact of a typical coal gasification and gas
cleanup process. The project will Identify and trace all potential air and
water pollutants from the process.

s. (2) Approach. (3) Current PlanB and/or Progress (200 words or [ess. Omit confidential data).
Catalytic hydrodesulfurizatlon (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) reactions
for the removal of organic sulfur and nitrogen compounds from liquid fuels are
becoming increasingly important as strict sulfur and nitrogen oxide emission
standards are set, and "dirtier" oils derived from shale and coal attain wider
use.
A quantitative description of the interferences between these two reactions, which
have only recently begun to be studied, is necessary for optimal design of commercial
processing units. To date, we have studied thiophene and pyridine as representative
sulfur and nitrogen compounds in a continuous-flow microreactor to model basic
interactions. Pyridine inhibits thiophene IIDS under all experimental conditions
used. Sulfur compounds exhibit a dual effect on the HDN of pyridine; a reaction
rate inhibition gives way to an enhancement at more severe reaction conditions.
Theoretical considerations have been presented to account for each of these effects.
Reactions of more complex compounds and their interactive reaction kinetics are
currently under investigation.

The first objective of this three-year program is to perform a comprehensive
multimedia environmental assessment of coal conversion technologies which produce
a low- and/or intermediate-Btu gas. The impacts of utilizing the product gas for
fuel or chemical feedstock purposes will also be determined. The study will be
based primarily on an engineering analysis of existing data to predict impacts,
assess control technology capabilities, and identify additional data requirements.
Site tests at commercial and/or pilot-scale gasification facilities will be ex-
ecuted when justified to verify impact prediction techniques and to provide the
process emission data necessary to assess control needs. Secondary environmental
impacts resulting from waste stream handling, treatment and disposal will also
be addressed in this study. A total of 60,000 technical man hours of effort will
be devoted to this first task.

EPA currently is working with the University of New Mexico to develop a compre-
hensive model for the public health and environmental impacts from the high-level and
transuranic contaminated wastes in geological formations. The model will permit para-
metric studies to be performed for various geological disposal media and for wastes in
different forms, such as glass or ceramic. The output will include potential environ-
mental impacts associated with the possible release of radioactivity. The model will
be designed to incorporate the latest available data to permit rapid assessment of the
cost-effectiveness of various combinations of waste content, waste preparation,
packaging, and geological .emplacement methods; and will expedite EPA reviews of
environmental impact statements. This information is scheduled to be available in
DRAFT form during FY '77.
The outputs of this model will also be used to help quantify environmental criteri
and to supply information for developing high level standards for terminal disposal.
They also may be used to determine monitoring requirements and radioactivity levels for
initiation of emergency response protective actions. Any such standards would not be
for specific facilities or sites, but would provide NRC with broad numerical guides for
use in establishing licensing and regulatory controls. This information is scheduled
to be made available for use during FY '78.

Objectives
Pursuant to the legislative mandate of the Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (PL 92-532) EPA was given specific regulatory requirements to
control the ocean disposal of radioactive wastes. To implement these requirements, EPA
Office of Radiation Programs initiated a site specific survey program in 1974 to
investigate two disused deepsea radioactive waste dumpsites. The overall objective
was to determine the fate of the containerized radioactive wastes dumped by the United
States between 1946 and 1965, and to relate these findings to the EPA permit program
and the development of improved packaging, site selection, and monitoring requirements.
Current Progress
Low levels of environmental plutonium contamination have been found in the sedi-
ments at the Pacific-Farallon Islands disposal site in depths of 900 meters and 1700
meters. Cesium-137 has been detected in sediments at the Atlantic disposal site at a
depth of 2800 meters. FY 1976 investigations focused on the use of the deep-submersi-
ble ALVIN to survey the Atlantic 2800m site in more detail. The following major goals
were achieved: (1) an 80-gallon radioactive waste drum was recovered from a depth
of 2800m for metal corrosion rate and matrix degradation rate determinations to
estimate how long an unimploded drum would remain intact, (2) vector-averaging current
meters were deployed to estimate potential radionuclide dispersion rates near the ocean
bottom, (3) Precise sediment cores and grabs were taken to look at: (a) the extent and
direction of radionuclide contamination, and (b) the geochemical retention character-
istics for released radionuclides. Post-operations analyses are underway.

The objective of this project is to provide an operations and maintenance staff and
a mechansism for operating the OHMSETT facility.
The contractor provides a permanent staff of a manager, a secretary, an engineer, a
chemist, an accountant/expediter anf five technicians. Authority is provided in the
contract for the local hiring of temporary personnel and the execution of small
subcontracts as needed to operate and maintain the facility.
Funding for this "Operate OHMSETT" project is provided by various testing programs
executed for OHMSETT "customers". Each testing program is designated Job Order 1,
2 etc., and is performed on a time-and-materials basis.
Facility customers are at present limited to Federal, state and local government
agencies. Primary customers are the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Navy, U.S. EPA
oil spill related projects, and U.S. EPA hazardous material spill related projects.
Each customer-related job order constitutes an EPA project funded by EPA or an IAG
with another agency. In each case, a customer-related job order represents incre-
mental funding to the "Operate OHMSETT" project. In some cases, the job orders
themselves are incrementally funded, since it is not always possible to accurately
estimate the actual cost to complete a job order prior to its execution. The project
provides other Federal agencies with a facility to accomplish their similar projects,
at no expense to EPA

(1) Objective Summary: Directed primarily at control-of solid Tow-level radioactive
wastes resulting from power production by nuclear reactors. Two major objectives
include: (1) determining retention of radioactive and stable nuclldes by fracture
and rocks (Phase I) and (2) improving models simulating groundwater transport of
radioactive pollutants after burial (Phase II).
(2) Approach: Feasibility of developing a generic method for making field determina-
tions of retention of radioactive and stable nuclides by fractured soil and rock
(Phase I) will be evaluated using FY 75 funds. Field sampling stations have been
installed and some samples have been collected and analyzed; however, evaluation of
the feasibility is still in progress. Presuming it is feasible, major tasks under
portion of project will be (1) to determine degree of retention actually occurring
field conditions and (2) to develop a method for estimating attenuation which may be
expected by fractured rock and soils.
Feasibility of developing generic method for analyzing water pathways for land
burial site, including developing transfer coefficient, and estimating impact on
environment of burial site and potential dose to man (Phase II) will be partially
evaluated with FY 75 funds. Field sampling stations have been installed and some
samples have been collected and analyzed. Major tasks under this portion of project
include: (1) completing determination of feasibility of analyzing water pathways,
etc., discussed above and presuming these determination are feasible; (2) performing
pathways analysis-dose assessment of an operating burial site under field conditions;
and- (3) estimating what safe limits of discharge of radioactivity from site are current
plans/progress contract let in late June.

(1) Objectives- To determine the feasibility and economics of recovering sodium
sulfate from the concentrated waste brine from treated irrigation re-
turn flow water used for cooling tower make-up. After its removal
(NazSOi) the remaining brine will be evaluated for the regeneration
of the ion-exchange softening resins used to treat the irrigation
return waters. The feasibility and economics of recovering calcium
sulfate obtained during regeneration of the ion-exchange softeners wil
be determined. The economics of various environmentally acceptable
methods of disposing the final remaining concentrated soluble brine
waste will be determined.
(2) Approach- A vertical tube crystallizing evaporator will be used to further
concentrate the blowdown from a cooling tower using ion-exchange
softened make-up water from irrigation return flows. Sodium sulfate
will be recovered from the concentrate containing precipitated
(Na2SOa) by filtration. The filtrate will be used to regenerate the
Ion-exchange softeners with Nacl added if appropriate. During the
regeneration calcium sulfate will be liberated and precipitated for
recovery.
(3) Progress- It is expected that this grant will be awarded soon.

Chlorine (Cl2) is widely used as an antifouling agent in once-through/condenser cooling
water systems. Since residual chlorine and persistent residual chlorine reaction products
in discharged cooling water may be deleterious to a'quatic organisms in the receiving water
body, alternative antifouling "agents are being sought. This study is designed to evaluate
bromine chloride (BrCl) as such an alternative. Two properties of BrCl will be examined:
decay rate and ability to prevent fouling.. BrCl will be judged a viable alternative to
chlorine if it economically prevents fouling of condenser surfaces without leaving undesirab
levels of residual halogens in discharged cooling water.
The program wi 11 be conducted at an 1100-MWe fossil fueled, two-unit generating
facility using estuarine water for once-through condenser cooling. One unit will be dosed
with chlorine while'the other unit will receive BrCl. By measuring residual halogen levels
at different points along the cooling systems, we will be able to evaluate the decay rate for
each halogen as a function of treatment cordition and ambient water quality parameters.
Fouling rates will be determined in cooling water before biocide addition and at the begin-
ning and end of each condenser system by shunting a fraction of the cooling water through
fouling simulators, using glass slides as fouling substrate. Simulated fouling will be re-
lated to condenser performance by monitoring hot well temperatures, turbine back pressures
and pressures losses across the condenser systems.
Concurrent studies will be conducted to evaluate residual biotoxicity of the chlorinated
and brominated cooling water effluents. These studies are being supported by Great Lakes
Chemical Corporation, West Lafayette, Indiana, and Ethyl Corp., Ferndale, Michigan.

Examine current state-of-art for greenhouse climatic control using
nuclear power plant waste heat for the enhancement of commercial horti-
culture. Identify through suitable liaison and information exchange,
engineering design features of greenhouses and crop growing stations that
have resulted from state' and federally sponsored waste heat research
programs. Select crop species having best commercial potential for
growth in these structures when located in New England. Examine state
and federal food quality regulations and determine their effect upon the
economics of a horticulture operation using waste heat from the condenser
of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power station. Review plant environmental
monitoring records and take such other measurements as may be necessary
to determine environmental changes created by the VSrmont Yankee boiling
water reactor and how such changes might effect an adjacent commercial
horticulture operation. Develop an economic and marketing model of a
commercial greenhouse, or other appropriate farming technique, whereby
waste heat from the Vemont Yankee Nuclear plant condensers is used for
crop growth-rate enhancement. The model will include all necessary plant
operating parameters, crop specie growth characteristics. New England
climatic conditions, New England marketing variables, and the effects
of state and federal food quality control regulations.

The objective of this project is to (l) evaluate the use of membrane processes, e.g.
reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, for refurbishing power plant discharge waters,
(2) investigate, evaluate, and determine whether one or more mechanisms may be
beneficial in reducing entrapment and/or entrainment, and (3) evaluate the engineering
and environmental aspects of wet/dry cooling towers and to participate in the
evaluation of the Cherne rotor spray system.
The approach includes: (1) review of available information along with laboratory
studies and evaluation on commercially available reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration
membranes to determining their ability to render power plant waste streams suitable
for recycle, (2) review of available information and basic studies on the most pro-
mising mechanisms to reduce entrapment and/or entrainment, and (3) studies and
evaluations on the engineering and environmental problems associated with a prototype
wet/dry cooling tower and the Cherne rotor spray system.
•urrent plans are to (1) continue laboratory work in the membrane studies, (2) continue
studies and testing of promising mechanisms for reduction of fish impingement, and
(3) continue work on obtaining a Westinghouse prototype wet/dry cooling tower and
setting up a test program for its evaluation.

The project will first identify the problems of environmental management in geo-
thermal re'source development. These problems will include air pollution, water pol-
lution, solid waste'disposal, land subsidence, seismic hazards, and noise levels.
legal, regulatory, and institutional constraints will also be considered. Each
problem area will be discussed and alternative solutions will be cited where they
exist. In some cases, it may be necessary to propose methodologies to achieve solutions
where environmentally acceptable solutions do not currently exist.
The first phase of the program will be a survey of regulatory and institutional
requirements pertaining to geothermal resource development. This will be done at
the Federal, state, and local levels. From this information, the levels of
treatment or other environmental controls required will be derived.
The second phase of the program will characterize geothermal resources and assess
pollution control technology and attendant costs. This will include a survey of
data from known geothermal reservoirs and an assessment of the applicability of
current and developmental processes for exploration development, and use to those
resources. Pollution problems and/or other adverse environmental effects will be
considered along with options for control. An evaluation of the research and
development which is. required to assure timely implementation of geothermal resources
will be made, and compared with current research and development efforts.

The potential environmental impact of advanced energy conversion technologies
will be assessed in a A phase program over the next three years in order to avoid the
need for retrofitting control equipment when these plants are a commercial reality. Tha
advanced cycles to be considered in this program include: open and closed cycle inngneto-
hydrodynaaics CKRD), open and closed cycle high temperature gas turbines, liquid netal
topping cycles, supercritical CC>2 cycles (Feher) , themionics, fuel cells, advanced stear
cycles (field) , and bottoming cycles.
The Phase 1 effort will consolidate the available information on the potential
pollutants as veil as the current state of development of advanced conversion technol-
"ogies. The objective of Phase II will be to develop realistic and practical analytical
codels in order to estimate effluents, pollutants, and viaste energy. These models will
be employed to provide pararaatric analyses of emission levels related to cycle charac-
teristics and efficiency. The cost/effectiveness of existing pollution control
technologies for each cycle will then be determined. Tha Phase III field and laboratory-
testing effort will be carefully designed to provide a preliminary environmental asssss-
Eent of each cycle tested. Sufficient data will be obtained to fill in the critical data
gaps and thus calibrate and validate the cycle models. Phase IV of the program will use.
all the information and data generated Un the- program to identify the critical RJ.D needed |
to make these technologies environmentally acceptable. The inpact of pollution control
ca energy conversion efficiency will be stressed 'in the reconir-andation. This planning
effort will include' alternate R5D strategies and priorities based on anticipated ranges
of available funding. ' '.. .

Objectives: The objectives of this task are: (1) to assess the existence of and
accuracy of pollution control energy cost estimates, and (2) to assess, in the light
of shortages and increasing cost of energy, the need for modification of present
approaches to pollution control. Within the time constraints of the project, the
object is to obtain as broad a perspective as possible on the problem area for EPA
program planning purposes;
Scope of Work: The two objectives for this project will be met by the following two
subtasks: Subtask 1 - Survey the open literature and make personal contacts to identify
previous efforts and success in determining the energy costs of pollution control.
Interest is in industrial and utility stationary point sources and in the related
air, water, and solids pollution control throughout the U. S. economy. Analyze the
deficiencies and assumptions in previous work. Suggest alternative approaches to
obtaining better cost data (125 manhours); Subtask 2 - Identify the relative energy
uses of various pollution control strategies now in use to determine the most
important areas for reducing energy consumption. The basis should be present industry
production capacity, but with anticipated pollution control assumed to be installed
to.satisfy present regulations. It may be appropriate to consider categories of
pollutants, i.e., KOX, SOj, hydrocarbons, BOD, COD, trace organics in water, etc.,
rather than industry categories, in making comparisons. Alternatives to pollution
control that are less energy intensive should be identified and prioritized.
Emphasis should be placed on modifications of existing processes rather than on
totally.new approaches (375 manhours).

As part of an EPA demonstration grant, the City of St. Louis has been processing
municipal solid waste and the Union Electric Utility has been firing it as an
auxiliary fuel at the Meremac Power Plant. The feasibility of the concept has
been demonstrated but more data of a substantive nature is being sought from
the program. This procurement is to provide services to fully test and evaluate
the refuse preparation and firing processes.
Specifically, this project provides for tests to determine the effects of
firing refuse and coal on gases and particles emitted from a 120 MW tangentially
fired utility boiler. Tests will be made to investigate the mechanisms which
cause a loss in ESP performance. Water pollution tests will be conducted and
the emission of potentially hazardous pollutants will be investigated. Testing
and engineering analyses will be performed to technically and economically evaluate
the refuse preparation and firing processes. Requirements for design of emission
control devices will be established and process or equipment modifications
necessary to reduce process cost and to increase energy or material recovery
will be determined.

The study will assess the effects of using municipal solid waste (MSW) as a supplementary
fuel. Co-firing of MSW with coal in stoker and tangentially-fired boilers will be
conducted and since one boiler is the same as at St. Louis, studies will permit
confirmation, and comparison of selected St. Louis results. Assessments will be
made of the technical and environmental aspects of these co-firing techniques. In
addition, technical and economic tests and evaluations will be conducted on the

The objective of this project is to investigate the benefits to the environ-
ment resulting from the utilization of solid waste as a supplementary fuel in existing
coal-fired power plants.
The approach is to evaluate the gaseous and particulate emission plus the
corrosiveness of combustion products as a function of refuse-coal ratio and as a
function of sulfur content of the coal. Experiments will be conducted in an operating
power station through cooperation of the City of Columbus, Ohio.
Furnace and stack gas and p'articulate samples will be collected throughout
the periods that corrosion probes are inserted at several locations in the heat-
recovery passes. These probes will be examined for corrosion attack and deposit
composition for various gas and metal temperatures to provide guidance in future
utilization of solid waste as a supplementary fuel'.

The objective of this program is to demonstrate the use of densified
Refuse Derived Fuel (d-RDF) as a coal supplement in stoker-equipped
boilers and to assess the environmental impact of widespread implemen-
tation of the concept.
The questions are to be answered by burning pelletized, cubetted and
briquetted d-RDF and coal in spreader stoker-equipped boilers. The :
coal: d-RDF ratio will be varied to establish the impact of substitution
ratio .on boiler performance and the environment. After initial testing
is complete, a demonstration burn will occur to assess the impact of
sustained firing. Each fuel-boiler combination will be approached in
a three step sequence: (1) A field trial will establish the process-
ability of the fuel by the boiler and the maximum substitution ratios
usable without boiler problems; (2) A field test will quantify environ-
mental, energy and boiler impacts of the fuel system over a range of
boiler conditions; (3) A demonstration will be performed.
The program schedule calls for initiation of testing in September 1976, and
completion in July 1977 with the draft report complete in October 1977.

Objective: To determine the feasibility, both technical and economic, of pyrolyzing
the organic fraction of municipal solid waste to sufficient quantity of hydrocarbon
gases (ethylene, echane, etc) to produce chemical intermediates. Phase I of subse-
quent studies are directed towards the polymerization of hydrocarbon fraction to
liquid fuel (polymer gasoline) suitable for internal combustion engine operation.
Approach: 1. An existing pyrolysis unit will be operated under various conditions
to maximize the production of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
2. A polymerization unit will be designed, fabricated and added to the
pyrolysis unit.
3. Data will be obtained over a wide variety of conditions using the
combined pyrolysis and. polymerization units. Compositional analysis of pyrolysis and
polymerization products will be performed for each test condition.
4. Preliminary design of a scaled-up pilot plant will be developed.
Progress: 'Studies have been conducted with the'pyrolysis unit to optimize the
unsaturated hydrocarbons in the off-gases. Separate studies have been made on
a gas cleaning system and a thermal polymerization unit. Polymer gasoline has been
produced from the polymerization unit using a combination of bottle gases simulating the
gas mixture from the pyrolysis unit. -
Future tests involve using gases from the pyrolysis unit in the gas cleaning
system and the polymerization unit and again optimize operating parameters.

Agricultural wastes accumulate in the U. S. afthe rate of more than 500 million
dry tons/year and represent a continuing nuisance and pollution source in the rural
environment. Conversely, these wastes represent a potential source of sulfur free
fuel and other chemical products. However, the great distances that these wastes
must be hauled, their large moisture content, and the necessity for construction of
new boilers or furnaces to burn them have made traditional waste utilization concepts
impractical or marginal at best. The proposed program, however, involves the design,
fabrication, and test of a portable pyrolytic conversion system capable of converting
these."bulky wet low energy wastes into a dense dry high energy fuel 'at the source of
their original production, thereby saving more than 75% of the transportation costs.
Further, the form of these fuels is such that they can be -used in existing conventional
coal fired boilers and/or mixed-.with high sulfur coal to form an acceptable low
sulfur fuel. .*•. .
In addition, the study will investigate the potential uses of the pyrolysis
products other than as fuels, but including the production of methyl-fuel. The
latter fuels, because they are liquid, could be used by farmers to operate their
equipment, dry their crops, and heat their homes and barns, thus making them almost
self sufficient, energy-wise.

Purpose of the project is to evaluate the operational worth and environmental
aspects, if any, of adding combustible solid matter to»wastewater plant sludges and
filter cakes, as offsets to part or all of the fuels conventionally used in sludge
incineration practice. Impending shortages of natural gas and fuel oil create the
sense of urgency in this work. Low-sulfur coal and combustible solid wastes will
be utilized as admix materials in various test sequences. Wastes to be tried include
shredded combustibles from refuse, in pelletized and loose form, wood chips from
urban tree-trimming, shredded tires, and industrial combustible wastes. A full-scale
multiple hearth furnace in a modem wastewater treatment plant will be used.
Applicability to other incinerators of the 200-plus total in United States' communi-
ties will be assessed. Assay of stack gases, after scrubbing, will include relevant
chemical properties of public health significance. Scrubber drainage and ash will
also be assayed.

With continued interest by the U.S. Government in obtaining energy self-sufficiency,
thare has been a growing interest in the development of alternative, energy systems,
not the least of which has been this country's geothermal energy resource. Realizing
that a portion of any geothennal development may well occur in the Region VIII states
of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming, the EPA wishes to
determine the potential environmental impacts that such development may have on the
region.
The intent of this project 1s the development of a two-part siting and leasing guide.
Part one-will be an executive summary which can be used by administrators and Governors'
staff level people. Part two will be a detailed back-up document. This guide will
address all Region VIII Known Geothermal Resource Aeeas (KGRAs) with particular em-
phasis upon those where development is occurring. The types of systems, process
development and engineering details of recovery of the geothermal resource will be
presented. A general overview of resource development In other regions and countries
will be considered. The e«1st1ng and expected federal, state, and local constraints
will be compiled. The expedted air, water, and land effluents and Impacts will be
presented along with the mitigating measures necessary to control these impacts.
Finally, the information needed prior to leasing and operation will be presented and
suggested monitoring criteria and requirements will be developed.
The above will be done in conjunction with the EPA-Las Vegas project, entitled "Geo-
thermal Systems/Environmental Assessment of Extraction, Conversion, and Waste Disposal."

The objective of this project is to evaluate emission performance of alternate
fuels and advanced concept control techniques. This evaluation provides an initial
assessment of problems and/or promise of different technology approaches.
The study utilizes a 300,000 Btu/hr versatile experimental furnace for compari-
son of alternate fuel performance to previously established baselines for convent-
ional fuel. The basic furnace allow for burner design changes as well as staged
combustion and flue gas recirculation.
To date the project has evaluated : (15 fuel nitrogen conversion and control
techniques for liquid fuels; and (2) alcohol fuels. A fuel gas generator system
capable of producing simulated low Btu gases with varible CO to H, ratios, CH.
content and NH, content at a range of temperatures from 2SO°F to I350°F is being
delivered. The effort will center on concepts for control fuel and thermal NO .

This study was conducted to provide a preliminary evaluation of biomass
production and conversion technologies, and their associated environmental
consequences. Biomass, as used in this study, refers to materials which are
either directly or indirectly the result of plant cultivation. Since a sub-
stantial portion of the organic fraction of urban and industrial wastes are the
"indirect" result of plant growth (that is, plant materials, especially fibers
which have already been utilized in some fashion), they are considered biomass
as well.
Jive categories of biomass production were considered in detail; agricultural
and forestry wastes, aquaculture (aquatic plant species which may be cultivated
for energy production), silviculture (intense cultivation of tree species),
energy crops (special crops adaptable to intense cultivation for the production
of energy), and urban and industrial wastes.
The conversion processes which were considered were classified as thermo-
chemical and biochemical technology. Primary thermochemical processes which
were reviewed in detail were direct conversion (including combustion), pyrolysis,
and hydrolysis. Less developed technologies, in particular, hydrogenation and
naval stores processes, were also briefly analyzed. Primary biochemical processes
considered in detail included anaerobic digestion and enzymatic hydrolysis.
Secondary processes, (that is, processes which convert products from primary
processes to useful fuels), were also evaluated and included methanol and other
Fisher-Tropsch-type products from syntheses gas, ethanol production from sugar
solutions, and several minor process systems. Six regionalized scenarios (brief
studies of commercial scale plants processing appropriate regionalized feedstock)
were prepared as part of this work. A seventh scenario, directed at a mobile
facility was also prepared.
