INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Protection Agency/Office of Research and Development
has prepared this research directory in an effort to better coordinate information
dissemination for environmental control technology research. This directory
supersedes the "Fiscal Year 1975 Control Technology Research Program Abstracts, "
published in April 1976. Specific modifications include more comprehensive
information as to funding, support method, task, project officer, responsible
organization and pertinent dates.
The project level descriptions contained in this volume constitute technical
and programmatic information concerning the Environmental Protection Agency/
Office of Research and Development' s environmental control technology research.
Each project has been funded by the FY J 175 Interagency Energy/Environment
supplemental appropriation being coordinated by the Office of Energy, Minerals
and Industry. Jn addition, each project has been assigned to one of nine
research development and demonstration categories: Energy Resource Extraction,
Physical and Chemical Coal Cleaning, Flue Gas Cleaning, Direct Combustion,
Synthetic Fuels, Nuclear, Thermal, Improved Efficiency and Advanced Systems.
Project descriptions are culled from "Notice of Research Project" forms.
These forms have been prepared under sponsorship of appropriate laboratories
and agencies using the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange System (SSIE)
format.
Tables have been prepared to reflect the EPA/ORD FY 1975 supplemental
energy appropriation budget that is directed toward energy-related control tech-
nology activities. Tables 1 through 7 contain the funds budgeted by the Environ-
mental Protection Agency to a single agency; Table 1 represents in-house EPA
funding, while Tables 2-7 indicate those agencies receiving EPA pass-through
funds. Table 8 is a summary table of all pass-through funds, and Table 9 is a
summary of both EPA in-house and pass-through funds.
The tables are arranged by objectives and fuel type (technology). Exhibit A
indicates the objectives within the control technology category. The column
headed "multi-fuel" includes all research dealing with five or more fuels, while
the column headed "all" is a summation of all fuels within each objective. The
summation row "6XX" provides totals for each fuel type. With these tables, it
is possible to tell at a glance the funds directed to any control technology
objective (row), fuel source (column), or agency (table).
Similar information on health and environmental effects of energy development
is contained in a second volume covering: Ecological Effects, Transport and Fate,
Characterization, Measurement and Monitoring, Health Effects, and Integrated
Assessment.

The major objective of this project is to identify possible impaoJts of coal
mining and development in the Northern Great Plains on the surface and ground water
system0, of the surrounding area. Specific objectives are: (1) obtain an equation
of balance for all water inflow and outflow in each of three study sites, one each
in Montana. North Dakota, and Wyoming; (2) characterize the overburden frcm a
physical and chemical point of view as well as determine its relationship to the
water coming to the surface; (3) characterize the chemical features of the mined
sites; and (4) determine hydrolcgic character of spoils at active mine sites in
Montana.
The proposed work is a key effort in the EPA program to assess the surface and
ground water problems associated with western coal. • !
Three sites will be studied. The first phase of this work is the collection of
base line data before mining. Some data will be collected at two active mining site"
in Montana to provide data for the analysis.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting research and arc- forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary ts to be used for these purposes.
The objective of this project is to develop a mathematical model capable
of predicting the quantity and quality of surface and subsurface runoff on
surface mine spoils in the Rocky Mountain Region. This objective will be
accomplished by modifying and interfacing existing models of subsurface
chemical transport, certain geochemical reactions, overland flow on infil-
trating surfaces, and sediment transport. A current study has identified the
important physical and chemical characteristics of the spoils which must be
included in the model. The adequacy of the model will be thoroughly tested
on field plots located on coal mine spoils in Colorado.
The model will be used to analyze and compare alternatives in mining and
reclamation management. Among the alternatives to be investigated are the
effects of selective placement of toxic spolils, topsoiling, surface manipulation
to increase or decrease infiltration, and the effect of revegetation on pollution
potential.

1. Objectives of this study are to demonstrate the effectiveness of several surface
configurations in: controlling erosion,-runoff, sedimentation and pollution of ad-
jacent drainages; quickly producing a desirable stabilizing vegetative cover; creating
an equilibrium between precipitation absorbed and soil moisture evaporated and trans-
pired so that ground water pollution will remain minimal; producing an overall de-
sirable reclamation design providing effective drainage, esthetics productiveness and
use.
2. The approach will utilize six demonstration sites in Montana, North Dakota, and
Wyoirdng. Each site will be subjected to several similar treatments and evaluated by
use of complete monitoring systems.
3. Current plans require UO 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.

The Korthern Cheyenne Tribe, via the northern Cheyenne Research Project, desires to de-
velop an in-depth knowledge of the chemical and physical character of reservation vater
resources, and the interrelation of water to other resources, so that the tribe can make
informed choices in planning coal development. A-three-year study plan is proposed to:
(l) gather and interpret baseline data concerning the vater resources and the inter-
relationships "of these data to land, bioconmunity, supply needs, and. energy resources
cf the reservation; (2) ascertain potential adverse chemical, physical, and economic
impacts to reservation vater resources from coal development; and (3) develop a com-
prehensive vater resources management plan that will aid present and future planning
for resource exploitation. Standard field and laboratory methodology will be employed
in assessing the geology, surface vater, and ground vater of reservation lands. Pro-
fessional help vill be hired to direct field studies and assist in final report pre-
paration.

It is proposed to write a manual of Etep-ty-step procedures by which mine operators,
laboratory analysts, consultants, and State and Federal agencies and land owners can
deternine properties of overburdens and minesoils needed to:assure soil.and water
quality.
The procedures vill include field identification of corrinon rocks and minerals; field
sampling techniques; packing, transport, and processing of rock and soil samples;
chemical, mineralogical and physical'analyses; and interpretation of analytical re-
sults into field recommendations. These recommendations will be designed to aid
preplanning of the total surface mining operation including post-mining reclamation
and long-range land use, 'insofar as these are- influenced by the character of the rock
and soil overlying the coal seam. The manual will support the concept-of controlled
segregation and placement of overburden during surface mining to assure soil and
water quality.
Terms used in the manual will be defined and will be an important part of this project,
Such standardization would greatly benefit communication between the multiple dis-
iplines involved.

The new surface mining method called "longwall stripping" is a
technique that could have applications in the State of West Virginia and
other mining areas of the country. This mining method employs under-
ground mining technology, called longwall mining, in areas that are often
surface strip mined or auger mined. By utilizing a continuously advancing
250 ft. "face" that runs perpendicular to the coal outcrop the coal can
be removed without leaving the coal "ribs" left by augers and without
overturning the entire earth surface as when strip mined. This is parti-
cularly advantageous in very steep slope mining conditions. Additionally,
while not a part of this demonstration project, it is possible that this
mining could be accomplished without men at the "face" if technology
similar to that available in Europe is further developed for U. S.
conditions.
In demonstrating this new technology, "longwall stripping", the
Association would expect to prove that surface coal mining can effect-
ively and efficiently be balanced with a "clean environment."

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
existing .and proposed state and federal mining programs'but ensure minimal environ-
mental damages'. The site evaluation will include the evaluation of the soil and rock
properties, surface and ground water resources, physical and cultural features, and
methods of mining and reclamation.' It will consider the geological and hydrological
setting prior Lo mining as the' basic • inputs to the pre-mining 'planning'. The manual
of practice will provide guidelines and means-of assessing alternatives in the areac
of water management, land use planning, and surface mine engineering, and will be
mostly based on information gained from literature review.and critical evaluation of
methods as reported in the literature and applied in £he''field. The M.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
of charts, maps, graphs, diagrams and photographs will be made to substantiate the
description. -
The Manual of Practice (M.O.P,) will be designed to assist mine operators and
control personnel in developing, evaluating and selecting mining and reclamation
plans that will be least detrimental to the environment, prior to the commencement
of mining.

The study will attempt to duplicate on a very small scale what might be
disposal schemes for the Baraho spent shale. It will investigate surface
stability and salt movement in spent Paraho oil shale after a cover of veg-
etation has been established. Measurements of vegetation including frequency,
density and ground cover will be made. Spent shale will be compacted to an
optium density for pile stability and to minimize percolation through the pile.
A cover of soil or uncompacted spent shale will be placed over the compacted'
piles.

. To investigate surface stability and salt, movement in spent oil
shales and soil-covered spent shales after a cover of native vegetation has been
established by intensive treatments and then left under natural precipitation
conditions.
Abroach. The study is being carried out on two different spent oil shales.
"Soil" treatments are plant establishment on 1. directly on leached, and fertilized
spent shales; 2. six inches of soil over leached spent shale; 3. one foot: of soil
over un.leachp.d spent shale; A. soil. Plots have been established on 2.5 percent
north and south slopes at altitudes of 5700 and 7200 feat in or near the Piceance
Basin and Northwestern Colorado. Each plot (28 per site) is bordered with wood to
form individual runoff plots 11 feet wide and 22 feet long. Sediirent and runoff
catchments have yet to be installed. One site (57001) has been instrumented for
soil salinity and soil moisture measurements.
A cover of native plant species has been established on the lower altitude
site and will be established on the higher site. Measurements on vegetation
include, frequency, density and vegetative ground cover.

The object of the research, is to provide a definitive state-of-the-art report con-
cerning the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing reverse osmosis (RO) based
techniques in the treatment of both ferrous and ferric acid mine drainage originating
in coal mining operations.
Information will be gathered from the work of previous investigators, treatment plant
operating experiences, industrial producers of RO and other acid nine drainage treatjnenv
equipment, and RO process synthesis research to be conducted by the V/VU investigators
at the EPA Crown Mine Drainage Control Field Site (Crown, WV). Studies to be performer;
at Crown consist of lime, soda ash, and lime-soda ash neutrolosis utilizing a 60,000
gallon per day RO unit. Also included will be investigations of two stage RO processing
using both 60,000 and 4,000 gallon per day RO units, coupled ion exchange-RO processes,
and lime-soda softening of acid mine drainage as a pretreatment step to RO processing.
All data from these studies will be factored into the report as required to present a
complete accounting of RO process potential for AMD treatment.

The project is to establish criteria to locate sources and define the
quantities of .water that will enter underground coal mines through faults,
fractures, etc. A manual will be prepared explaining the procedures for the
use of'applicable methods for the underground coal mines of the eastern
United States. The criteria obtained will enable mining companies to plan
water diversions and dewatering procedures that will reduce or eliminate
polluted mine water discharges. State and Federal regulatory agencies will
be able to use the criteria in reviewing mining applications for potential
infiltration problems and as an aid in requiring procedures requiring water
diversion or dewatering to prevent discharges of pollutants.

The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the long-term environmental
effectiveness of eastern underground coal mine close-down procedures. Following
a thorough review of existing literature, a site selection will be made of approx-
imately 65 underground mines in the eastern United States. Existing data will be
collected on the past and present history of these sites. A field sampling program
of mine drainage quality and quantity will then be used to ascertain the effectiveness
of various past and present mine closure methods. The factors to which effective-
ness or ineffectiveness of closure methods are attributable will be arrived at •
through an extensive multivariate statistical analysis. Recommendations of areas
of research needed to develop more advanced mine closure technology or alter-
native solutions to mine closure will be made.

U. S. energy policy requires the accelerated development and imple-
mentation of environmentally sound technologies for the use of coal as
an energy source. Physical and chemical coal cleaning are used to
reduce the non-combustible mineral content of coal and to remove element
which result in dangerous air pollutants when burned. These coal clean-
ing processes and associated storage and transportation operations in
turn result in the concentration of pollutants and wastes which must be
controlled to avoid adverse environmental effects.
This purpose of this effort is to collect data to characterize the
pollutant emissions, residue disposal problems and pollutant control
technology for various coal transportation, coal storage and coal clean-
ing processes. This effort will cover a wide range of activities which
will include: technology overview studies, development of detailed
process descriptions, development of environmental assessment criteria
and evaluation plans, development of detailed process oriented test
plans, performance and evaluation of environmental tests, generation of
environmental impact studies, and performance trade-off studies on
alternative pollution control methods. Adequate performance of this
study will require in-depth experience in environmental test and
analysis, engineering analysis and economic analysis.

• Conducting combustion studies on hydrothermally treated coals and the
corresponding raw coals
• Characterizing hydrothermally treated coals and the raw coals and
selected spent leachants
• Evaluating the environmental impact of converting conventional
boilers to hydrothermally treated coals as the source of fuel
• Assessing the interchangeability of hydrothermally treated coals
in utility and industrial boilers

U. S. energy policy requires the accelerated development and implementa-
tion of environmentally sound technologies which use coal as an energy
source. Physical coal cleaning can be used to reduce the non-combustibl«
mineral matter in coal and remove elements which form dangerous pollu-
tants when burned. The purpose of this effort is to develop information
needed to accelerate physical coal cleaning as a cost-effective method
for pollution control.
Work to be performed under this effort will include: (1) the develop-
ment rhrough surveys and tests of cost and performance data on the
capability of commercial equipment in removing pyritic sulfur from fine
particle coal; (2) determine the performance of commercial equipment
in dewatering fine coal from sulfur cleaning circuits; (3) evaluate
needs for the development of air and water pollution control technology
which result from fine coal separation and dewatering operations; and
(4) perform process design studies to determine the costs of using coal
cleaning to meet state and federal air pollution control standards.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
The Meyers Process for coal desulfurization is one method for chemically
removing pollutant-forming constituents, from coal prior to combustion.
The Meyers Process was initially supported by EPA for a study of its
chemical feasibility. The success of this initial project led to follow-
up studies for bench-scale process development and then to a survey of
the applicability of the Meyers Process technology to a variety of U.S.
coals. Design of a pilot plant was initiated under contract. An in-
dependent economic evaluation of the Meyers Process technology has also
been performed. Results of these studies have shown that the process is
technically and economically viable. These studies have also indicated
(1) that integrated pilot plant development of the technology is re-
quired and (2) that additional bench scale study is required to add to
the fundamental knowledge and understanding of the desulfurization proces
system.
The purpose of this project is to provide additional experimental de-
velopment work on the Meyers Process at a bench-scale level. This
additional work will examine identified process problem areas (both
technical and economic) in order to identify alternative procedures
and will provide additional characterizing process data needed for
engineering evaluations of process performance and acceptability.

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 per cent sulfur
content has been converted into solid fossil fuel that can be burned directly in
conformance with Federal EPA New Source Performance Standards for sulfur emission.

The project will employ an extensive literature search and detailed engineering
analyses to obtain an estimate of the concentration of all identifiable compounds in
the waste streams from within a typical petroleum refinery. The project will then
seek to determine the feasibility of a generalized sampling and analytical strategy
and the probable cost for applying this strategy to the waste streams addressed in
this effort.
The project will also supply updated information concerning transport/transformation
of oxidants and NO .
X
Based on this information, a program will be developed for estimating relative con-
tribution of source emissions on air quality, to include dry deposition and addi-
tional source categories (e.g., transportation and natural). This program and revised
data will provide quantitative estimates of the relative contribution of specific
category emissions on air quality in at least two cities (e.g., Boston, Chicago, St.
Louis, or Los Angeles) to be designated. This program will also predict the impact
of existing and planned ambient air quality reduction resulting from current re-
gulations on present and future sources.
Within the limits of the data developed during the project, the study will include
an analysis which compares the relative impact of emissions of NO and hydrocarbons
from identified source categories. x

for the acquisition of representative samples from solid, liquid, gaseous and/or
multiphase streams associated with industrial processes and/or air pollution control
systems. Where specialized equipment is required, the effort shall develop
specifications, fabricate the equipment, and perform laboratory and field evaluations.
The project will also evaluate analytical procedures including sample handling,
storage and preparation. Physical and chemical analyses will be performed on
selected samples using wet chemical or instrumental techniques such as atomic
absorption; neutron activation; X-ray fluroescence; X-ray diffraction; spark source
mass spectrometry; gas chromatography; infrared, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy;
liquid chromatography; optical emission spectroscopy; electron microscopy; optical,

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK- (!) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omil confidential data).
In tht^ 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.
.U. S. energy policy requires the accelerated development and imple-
mentation of environmentally sound technologies for the use of coal as
an energy source. Physical and chemical coal cleaning are used to
reduce the non-combustible mineral content of coal and to remove element
which result in dangerous air pollutants when burned. These coal clean-
ing processes and associated storage and transportation operations in
Luni result in the concentration of pollutants and wastes which must be
controlled to avoid adverse environmental efrects.
This purpose of this effort is to collect data to characterize the
pollutant emissions, residue disposal problems and pollutant control
technology for various coal transportation, coal storage and coal clean-
ing processes. This effort will cover a wide range of activities which
will include: technology overview studies, development of detailed
process descriptions, development of environmental assessment criteria
and evaluation plans, development of detailed process oriented test
plans, performance and evaluation of environmental tests, generation of
environmental impact studies, and performance trade-off studies on
alternative pollution control methods. Adequate performance of this
study will require in-depth experience in environmental test and
analysis, engineering analysis and economic analysis.

The IERL-RTP requires information relating the effect of combustion
modification techniques on utility power-generating equipment (boilers,
stationary engines, gas turbines) to air pollution emissions, equipment
performance, and efficiency. Emissions to be measured include NO, N0«,
SO„, SO„, CO, C02, 0~, gaseous hydrocarbons, particulate (mass and size
distribution), and toxic and hazardous pollutants. Fuels to be used
in this study include natural gas, oil, coal, waste fuel, and combina-
tions of these. Equipment performance evaluation will include long-term
tube wall corrosion rate measurements determining the relation of
slagging to firebox conditions, and determining how boiler reliability
is affected. As a result of the program two guideline manuals shall
be prepared, in addition to a final report. One guideline will be
directed toward manufacturers to indicate which designs produce the
lowest emission and best efficiency, and the second will be prepared
for operators to indicate how conventional equipment operation can
be modified to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
Under ongoing programs NOX 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 NOX could be achieved.
This research grant includes three sub-tasks involved in the general investigation
of practical methods to reduce NOX emissions in tuility 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, (l)utility and industrial boiler data up-date, and (2)addition of
other major point source categories.

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 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 oxides of nitrogen (NOX) 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 NOX 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 NOX control
through two-stage combustion, flue gas recirculation and low excess air firing for the
wall fired and tengentially fired configurations. Emphasis will be given to identifi-
cation of optimum staging conditions for reduction of NOX from coal fired boilers.

An eighteen month analytical and experimental program has been initiated for the
establishment of 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 consists of an analytical and experimental study
to define the requirements of system components. Phase II involves the assembly
and testing of a prototype system and the definition of an integrated residential
heating system capable of NO^ emissions of less than 0.5g NO/kg of fuel with
minimum CO, UHC and smoke, and overall system efficiency which is more than
higher than that achieved by current conventional systems.

This effort provides for a two-phase study of Exxon proprietary tech-
nology for post-flame injection of a gaseous species (NH^) to promote
reduction of NO to nitrogen. The first phase of work will provide the
necessary information to document feasibility and estimate costs for
applying this technology to a coal-fired utility boiler. The results
of the Phase I work will provide the basis for the Government's option
to proceed with the second phase of work. Phase II, entitled "Field
Demonstration of Additive Injection Technology on a Coal-Fired Boiler"
will consist of discrete tasks designed to provide demonstration of this
technology for two levels of NO control, i.e., 0.7 lb,/10^ Btu and
0-3 to 0.4 lb/106 Btu. The result of the Phase II effort will be a
final report documenting the results of the field demonstrations.
Additionally, the report will provide application guidelines and
implementation costs of this technology for a variety of utility
boiler types and sizes.

The objective of this program is the establishment of design criteria for application
of catalytic combustion to low emission, high efficiency stationary combustion systems.
To accomplish this, a research and development program consisting of experimental
small-scale catalyst and combustor concept screening, experimental and theoretical
scale-up work for promising concepts, and design development of prototype systems based
on selected concepts has been outlined.
Current plans are to secure several catalyst systems for small-scale screening
experiments, under a variety of conditions and for several different fuels. Based
on the results of a single-component catalyst systems, multi-component catalyst
systems will be developed and 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 interstage 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 conducting detailed analytical studies with appropriate computing technique,
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.

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 techniques for controlling NOX emissions from stationary sources are
combustion modification and flue gas treatment. Combustion modification (CM)
reduces the amount of NOX formed while flue gas treatment (FGT) removes the NOX
from the stack gases after it has been formed.
It is the purpose of this project to assess the relative merit of a number of
advanced concepts for effluent treatment to determine which offer the most promise
for becoming a useful NOX removal process and to recommend research and development
required for further evaluation.
Initial studies considered for investigation include:

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 approach is based on small scale (5 x 106 Btu/hr) experimental studies
showing the potential for reducing NOx levels from pulverized coal burners to the
100-200 ppm level (from 800). This study utilized a combined experimental and
theoretical program to provide criteria for scaling these concepts to sizes of
practical interest (100-200 x 106 Btu/hr). The experimental program will provide
the data to derive the criteria and to assess multiple burner interaction effects.

A nine-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 NOX during combustion. 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. The pyrolysis and oxidation of model
nitrogen compounds, coals, residual oils and alternate fuels will be investigated.
Task II involves the study of combustion kinetics involved in fuel NOX formation from
HCN and NHs in premixed CH4 flames including: (1) interactions with thermal NOX
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 synthesizing the results into a quantitative scheme for the conversion
of fuel nitrogen to NO and other pollutants.

The environmental assessment of process streams requires a detailed evaluation
of the stream properties. Chemical analyses alone cannot be utilized to prioritize
effluent streams impact. As an adjunct to analysis, rapid and inexpensive biological
tests are desireable.
The project will produce a technical manual dealing with recommended procedures
for sampling and analysis of stationary sources and process streams for biologically
active material. Methods for sample acquisition, handling, storage, and bioassay
will be covered.

The IERL-RTP has developed, through contract, a laser velocimeter
system which is presently being used in-house to obtain velocity pro-
file data from flames in research furnaces. This particular study
will add to the present capability of the laser velocimeter system by
measuring the size of each particle generating the velocity data. The
particle size data will prove useful to researchers in two respects.
First, by knowing the size of the particle which generated a velocity
signal the validity of that velocity signal can be evaluated. This is
true because there is a direct relationship between particle size and
velocity accuracy. Secondly, the particle size data in and of itself
is of interest.

data base for conventional combustion systems. The emissions will be investigated
on a unit operations level (e.g., fuel storage, combustion, waste disposal, etc.)
including specifying the physical and chemical state in which the pollutant is emitted
(i.e., vapor, aerosol, adsorbed gas, liquid suspension, element or compound). The
emission rates of the pollutants will be by the most appropriate means, such as field
sampling, material balance calculations, or manipulation of existing data.

This proposed study is to be co-sponsored by the Meteorology and Assessment
Division, Environmental Sciences Research Lab-RTP, and by the Industrial Environ-
mental Research Lab.-RTF, OR&D.
The trend toward locating large power plants in mountainous terrains, near readily
accessible coal supplies, has created a new concern for the implications of the SC>2
laden atmospheres surrounding these facilities. The question of the transport and
transformation of these atmospheres, and of the ground-level burden created by these
atmospheres has been the impetus for this proposed study.
This effort will seek to provide comprehensive data on SO2 emissions in complex
terrains by continuous monitoring at remote locations of expected high SO2 concentra-
tions, and by airborne and mobile measurements at surface levels. These results, in
combination with meteorological factors, will produce a comprehensive assessment
upon which the Agency can base rational, defensible policy decisions.

lack of data on: collection efficiency as a function of particle size distribution
and dust resistivity and electrostatic precipitator design and operating parameters;
effects of mechanical factors on collection efficiency; dust resistivity as a
function of ash and gas chemistry, etc. The contractor will conduct field tests, /

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.
An electrostatic precipitator can be described in terms of the system input
variables and subfunctions. The complexity of the system precludes a detailed
evaluation of each subfunction in full-scale precipitators operating on industrial
processes because of both the costs and difficulty in controlling variables in
industrial operations. Thus, it is desirable to construct a general purpose
precipitator with sufficient flexibility to investigate the effects of modifications
to individual system subfunctions. In addition, a pilot-scale precipitator provides
the means for evaluating a computer systems analysis model for describing precipitator
behavior. A preliminary computer model of an electrostatic precipitator system
was developed and modified under previous contracts. In order to achieve these
objectives, the contractor shall design and, upon approval of the design, fabricate
a pilot-scale electrostatic precipitator.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
Fabric filtration has traditionally been one of the major methods of
collecting particulate matter.
Laboratory and field data have shown fabric filters to be extremely
efficient even into the submicron range for a variety of sources
(If pp.6-103, 6-104). It has, however, been only in the last decade
that serious attempts have been made to use baghouses on large com-
bustion sources. The IERL-RTP is now engaged in measuring performance
of baghouses on several utility and industrial boilers to confirm high
efficiencies for flyash down to about O.Olym.
In order to expand the availability of fabric filtration for control
of fine particulates, it is necessary to provide systems which can
operate at air-to-cloth ratios greater than presently used, and to have
fabrics that can be used at the higher ratios and are durable.
During the past two years a fabric filter system has been developed
operating at 4 to 5 times the usual air-to-cloth ratio of 2:1(2).
The purpose of this effort is to prove the performance capabilities
of the ESR filter system on a small utility boiler and thus provide
operating and cost data for users and manufacturers, determine
durability and effectiveness of new fabrics, find optimum operating
conditions and determine scale-up factors for production filter
systems.

Fine particle control from stationary sources is important from the standpoint
of environmental protection. For the most part, fine particle control technology
is now at a very early stage of development. Limited tests of conventional equip^
ment (scrubbers, filters, electrostatic precipitators) have shown capability for
collection of fine particulate where very high mass efficiencies are attained.
However, to reach these high efficiencies, high energy input and/or large collector
size is required. Novel devices or systems based on new collection principles or
on radical redesign of conventional collectors are sometimes offered by private
developers. This effort will provide for testing and evaluation of those devices
which show promise for high efficiency collection of fine particulate.

The Environmental Protection Agency seeks to demonstrate, on a small
scale, the feasibility of new concepts for the control of fine particle
emiss ions.
Horizons, Inc. has developed a unieque porous ceramic membrane with con-
trolled pore size and superior mechanical properties. A review of the
available information on this material made by the Westinghouse Electric
Corporation shows that it has the potential for development into a high-
efficiency dust collection filter. While the material has a broad range
of potential application, it is uniquely suitable for fine particle
control in high temperature, high pressure processes where its mechanica
strength and chemical inertness are particularly valuable. As a conse-
quence, it may find widespread acceptance in coal conversion processes
now under development - coal gasification and fluidized bed combustion
are of particular interest.
The Westinghouse Electric Corporation in a cooperative program with
Horizons, Inc. is developing and testing ceramic filter elements
manufactured from porous alumina membranes. The program is directed J
primarily toward particulate control in coal gasification - combined
cycle power plants - an area in which there is urgent need for adequate
particle collection equipment.

The objective of this project is to demonstrate on a small scale the feasibility
of using a high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system as an effective and
economic technique for control of fine particulate emissions. Phase I of the project
will include a review of the theoretical concepts of HGMS as applied to fine particle
collection with emphasis on collection efficiency, collector regeneration, and power
and residence time requirements. Bench scale experiments will follow to verify or
disprove the theoretical predictions. A preliminary analysis of capital and operating
costs will be performed to compare the system to conventional equipment, i.e.,
scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators or fabric filters. If the results obtained in
Phase I are technically and economically attractive, Phase II will consist of the
design, construction and operation of an experimental model of at least 500 cfm
capacity to obtain additional information on the performance of the HGMS system
with respect to power input, residence time, temperature, partieulate type, and
particulate size distribution.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK- (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
A new class of scrubbers (Flux Force/Condensation or FF/C Scrubbers) which take
advantage of diffusiophoresis and particle growth due to water vapor condensation
is being developed under EPA contracts. Previous studies have proven the feasibility
of FF/C scrubbing. Recent data on the performance of mobile bed scrubbers indicate
that a mobile bed scrubber may be an efficient FF/C scrubber. Because mobile bed
scrubbers are commonly used in SOx scrubbing systems, it is important to determine
if such scrubbers can be used as FF/C scrubbers to collect fine particles. The
collection of SOX and fine particles in a single device would be a major advance.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate mobile bed scrubbers for use as flux
force/condensation scrubbing devices and to develop mathematical models and design
equations for such scrubbers. This will be accomplished by conducting theoretical
and small pilot plant studies of mobile bed flux force/condensation scrubbers.

Based on the results of the Phase III Test Program under predecessor Contract
PH 22-68-67, and other supporting programs of EPA, Bechtel is performing an extended
testing program at the EPA Alkali Scrubbing Test Facility, TVA Shawnee Steam Plant,
Paducah, Kentucky, for the removal of SO2 and ash particulate from coal-fired furnace
gas. The test facility consists of two parallel scrubber systems - a venturi followed
by a spray tower and a Turbulent Contact Absorber. Each system is capable of treating
approximately 10 Mw equivalent (30, 000 acfm at 300° F) of flue gas containing 1800-
4000'ppm sulfur dioxide and 2 to 5 grains/scf of particulates. The scrubbers are
integrated into the flue gas exhaust ductwork of boiler No. 10.
The major goals of the overall test program are: (1) to characterize the effect of
important process variables on sulfur dioxide and particulate removal, (2) to develop
mathematical models for economic scale-up to full-size scrubber facilities, and
(3) to demonstrate reliability.
The process improvement objectives of the current program are to improve
(1) alkali utilization, (2) SO2 removal, (3) sludge disposal properties, and (4) system
reliability. Specific tasks to be performed are: limestone/lime advanced testing,
sludge fixation studies, and economic studies.

Mode), lime and limestone scrubbers are operated at NERC/RTP to provide in-house
research capability in the FGD area. The scrubbers are designed for maximum flexibility
and quick evaluation of a wide range of process variables and operating conditions. The
work is centered upon identification of optimum scrubber operating conditions for applica-
tion to utilities using high-sulfur U.S. Eastern coals.
Objectives; (1) to provide in-house experimental support for EPA' s Shawnee Test
Facility at Paducah, Kentucky; (2) compare lime and limestone as scrubber feeds for non-
regenerable systems; (3) define operating variables and process chemistry affecting relia-
bility; (4) improve utilization of limestone; (5) optimize performance in terms of SO2
scrubbing efficiency and additive utilization; (6) evaluate merit of advanced concepts and
process improvements for further study in larger prototype units.
Approach; Two 9-inch diameter TCA scrubbers are operated on a 24-hr, basis. Each set-
up includes all components of a complete closed-loop system. They can be operated wit!
or without flyash and chlorides and at varying inlet SO2 concentrations. Hold tank and
tower designs are variable.
Current Plans and Progress: Principal process parameters affecting operation in the
unsaturated mode have been defined. Work in this area is continuing toward the objec-
tive of totally scale-free operation. Systematic comparison of hold tank designs have
shown that high utilization of limestone can be obtained concurrently with high SO2
removal efficiency. Work in this area is continuing toward the objective of a system
that yields fully-oxidized waste sludge. Several methods of carrying out the oxidation
step are being investigated. Future work will evaluate different types of lime/limestone
additives and methods of controlling stoichiometrv and maximizing SO? removal efficiency

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Recent results from small- and large-scale EPA pilot plant tests of lime/
limestone scrubbing (for S0? removal from power plant flue gas) have
shown that under certain conditions lime/limestone systems can operate
unsaturated with respect to dissolved gypsum. This operating mode has
also been reported in tests of the full-scale carbide lime scrubbing
system at Louisville Gas and Electric's Paddy's Run Station. This system
is perhaps the most successful of its type in the U. S., possibly be-
cause of the unsaturated (in gypsum) operation, the physical design of
the system, or a combination of. the unsaturated operation and system
design.
Louisville Gas and Electric (LG&E) has expressed a willingness to make
their system available to EPA for a series of tests to increase the
understanding of the system and to broaden the applicability of the
system design and operation to other power plant installations.
The purpose of this program is to: (a) Characterize the performance,
reliability, and chemistry of the LG&E lime scrubbing system installed
at Paddy's Run Unit No. 6, (b) Perform a series of scrubbing tests to
increase the understanding of the LG&E system and to broaden its applica-
bility to other power plant SO- scrubbing applications. These tests will
include use of commercial lime, variation in boiler load, addition of
chloride (and possibly magnesium), and variation in hold tank operation,
(c) Evaluate scrubber waste disposal operations through laboratory and
field tests of several treatment/disposal methods, with emphasis on
methods not currently offered commercially.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Pilot plant studies conducted by EPA at Research Triangle Park have demonstrated
that both lime and limestone scrubbers can operate unsaturated with respect to
dissolved calcium sulfate, while maintaining tightly closed-loop conditions. The
formation of a "solid solution" of sulfate within the precipitated calcium sulfite was
identified as the mechanism responsible for sulfate purge during unsaturated operation,
and thus is a critical factor for achieving unsaturated scrubbing liquor. Since scale
formation cannot occur with unsaturated liquor, this mode of operation is viewed as
having potential importance to the reliability problem of SO2 scrubbers that use lime
or limestone feeds. Several variables influencing solid solution formation have been
identified in the pilot plant studies including oxidation rate, precipitation rate, and
the concentrations of chloride and magnesium in the scrubbing liquor. Accurate
quantitative correlation of the effects of these variables is needed in order to predict
the conditions necessary to achieve unsaturated operation in any given situation.
This task is intended to assist in meeting that goal.
The overall objectives of this task are: (a) to quantitatively define, by carefully
controlled laboratory measurement, the effects of the principal variables known to
influence solid solution formation, and (b) develop the theoretical framework by which
these variables can be related to the operation of scrubbers in an unsaturated mode.

In the laboratory, future work involves continued development activities on an
effective limestone regeneration system in the concentrated mode. Efforts will also
be devoted to characterizing the chemical and physical properties of the wastes
generated in the various dual alkali modes as well as chemical fixation techniques
for dual alkali solids.
The continuing pilot plant program will involve development work on the con-
centrated limestone mode pending completion of laboratory development efforts. In
addition, three long-term, five-week (13 shifts per week) runs are planned for the
most promising dual alkali modes developed in the program. These runs will probably
include operations in the concentrated lime mode (CSTR), the dilute lime mode (with
oxidation) and a third mode to be selected.
The one-year test program will be conducted on the 20 megawatt prototype dual
alkali system supplied by CEA/ADL to Gulf Power/Southern Services, Plant Scholz.
The test program will be broken into short- and longer-term test phases involving a
range of operating rates and sulfur content of the coal. The main focus of the data
collection and analysis will be the characterization of the process operation in terms
• scrubber efficiency;
• oxidation rates;
• sulfate regeneration;
• solids properties;
• sodium losses; and
• lime and other chemicals utilization.

Background
EPA prepared the initial draft of Sulfur Oxide Throwaway Sludge Evaluation Panel
(SOTSEP) Final Report in September 1973. A significant amount of information
contained in the report, especially cost data, is currently out of date. This informa-
tion should be reviewed and updated prior to formal issuance of the report. Radian
Corporation provided considerable technical assistance in preparation of the initial
draft of the report. In this project Radian Corporation will review and revise (update)
Volume I '{Executive Summary) and Volume II (Technical Discussion Supplement) of the
SOTSEP Final Report.
Scope of Work
Radian Corporation shall review and revise both volumes of the SOTSEP Final
Report, to insure that: (a) all information contained in the report is as current as
possible and that (b) the two volumes of the report are consistent. In updating the
information in the report Radian shall rely heavily on readily available information
from EPA (NERC-RTP) and Radian1 s files.
Radian Corporation shall also revise the report according to EPA direction based
on an EPA editorial review of the report.

Objective: Demonstration of the magnesia slurry SO2 recovery process for flue gas
desulfurization to a coal fired boiler.
Approach:
A full scale, prototype system including a first stage particulate control
scrubber and a second stage F.G.D. venturi absorber has been installed
on the 195 MW coal fired No. 3 boiler at Potomac Electric Power
Company1 s Dickerson Station. Magnesia regeneration is accomplished
at a 50 TPD sulfuric acid plant with SO2 recovery as 98$ sulfuric acid.
Progress:
The pre-startup and planned operational testing phase of the program
have been completed successfully with 1468 hours of operation of the
FGD system. Previously developed prediction equations for oil fired
application are being revised to include coal fired information. The
unit is presently operating and will continue until MgO remaining at
the power plant has been exhausted. Based upon a consumption rate
of 10 tons/day, operation should continue for another two weeks.

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.
Objective: It has been the experience in magnesia scrubbing that the two hydrate
species of MgSC>3 (tri- and hexa-) have been formed. Since these
two species have vastly different handling characteristics, it would be
an advantage to be able to design a scrubbing system to preferentially
produce one of the two and thus design the handling system accordingly.
Thus it is the objective to develop an understanding of the formation
mechanism of the two hydrates and to recommend design or operating
factors for the production of the desired crystal species.
Approach: The contractor will conduct a literature survey and will experimentally
determine: (a) solubility products of the two hydrates as a function of
temperature, (b) the influence of solution composition on the transition
temperature of the phase change, and (c) the influence of composition
and temperature on the kinetics of the phase change.
Progress: The literature survey has been completed. Construction of experimental
equipment is on schedule and should be completed by the end of
September.

Objective: EPA has supported two Mag-Ox scrubbing demonstration; in each case
sulfuric acid was produced. One option for increasing the applicability
of the process is the direct reduction/decomposition of MgSO3 to
elemental sulfur and MgO. The study of the feasibility of this process
option is the objective of this task.
Approach: The contractor is performing a literature survey on the following topics:
chemistry of the Mg/O/S system, process technology, and kinetic data.
He will then perform equilibrium calculations, develop possible process
arrangements, and calculate heat and material balances. Finally,
kinetic calculations will be performed and recommendations made.
Progress: The literature survey and most of the equilibrium calculations have been
completed. Work has just begun on developing process arrangements.
Heat and material balances and kinetic calculations will soon be
initiated. The final report draft is expected in November.

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 project involves an evaluation of the feasibility of using substances other
than natural gas to accomplish the reduction of SC>2 to elemental sulfur. The
intended application of this technology is to future regenerable, sulfur-producing
flue gas desulfurization (FGD) installations at power plants. The alternate sources
of reductants include coal, coke, and residual oil. These materials can be gasified
to produce a reducing gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
The objectives of this project are:
(1) To obtain data on the detailed analysis of reductant gases from the leading
coal gasifiers and to assess the impact of the various gas constituents on
the overall process schemes which lead to an elemental sulfur product.
(2) To examine further the equipment requirements for the production and use
of coal gas as a reductant, with particular attention to the gas clean-up
requirements which follow from the accomplishment of Objective 1.
Attention will be given to such auxiliary equipment as that for coal hand-
ling and sizing, ash handling, and wastewater treatment.
(3) To revise and improve earlier cost estimates for the alternate reductants
based upon the results from the accomplishment of Objectives 1 and 2.

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 SO removal efficiencies, and utilize a
reductant material other than natural gas.
The purpose of this effort is to provide for 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 S0_ removal
efficiencies, and utilize reductants other than natural gas.

The objective of this project is to assess the relative impact of SOX emitted from
utility and non-utility combustion sources on SOX ambient air quality.
The use of high sulfur fuels plus the large number of non-utility combustion sources
serve to indicate the importance of considering SOX emissions from these sources since
they may be major contributors to SO2 levels which exceed the NAAQS. It is the
purpose of this task to assess the relative impact of SOX emitted from utility and non-
utility combustion sources on SOX ambient air quality in order to prepare a generic
model for assessment of these relative impacts. The basic approach will be to gather
and analyze existing air quality and emission data from selected regions and to extra-
polate these results for more extensive use. This project is related to project RPS -

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
This is a modification to existing Contract 68-02-1010, which expands the
current sampling and analysis effort to include flue gas cleaning waste products from
5 additional plants; this will expand the current effort from 8 plants to 13, making the
program results more widely applicable. The modification also includes expansion of
current physical testing efforts; a new sub-task for engineering analyses of gypsum-
producing (oxidation) processes, which have recently emerged as an alternative to
chemical fixation; and expansion of support for a more extensive EPA field study of
FGC waste disposal at TVA' s Shawnee Steam Plant. In addition, the modification
includes a major new task for the review, correlation and assessment of all EPA and
private industry efforts in the area of flue gas cleaning waste disposal, including
participation in all EPA program coordination meetings and preparation of an annual
integrated report on flue gas cleaning waste disposal technology.
Results of this new task will be reported through another new task entitled
"Technology Transfer". This task will include formal briefings or presentations and
assembling information for EPA' s Office of Technology Transfer.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
This two-phase study involves the investigation of the feasibility of the disposal
of FGD sludges in mines and in the ocean.
Technical Objectives and Scope
Phase I - Evaluation of Alternative Disposal Options
• Assess the potential environmental impact of the disposal of FGD sludges in mines
and the ocean;
• Determine the regulatory restrictions regarding such disposal of FGD sludges and
assess the adequacy of state and federal regulations with regard to protecting the
environment;
• Determine reasonable disposal system criteria for protecting the environment and
develop realistic approaches, if possible, for implementing ocean and/or mine
disposal systems; and
• Assess the costs for conceptualized disposal systems, including the impact of the
economics on the costs of FGD systems.
The emphasis in Phase I will be placed upon determining the feasibility of these
sludge disposal options. Efforts will be primarily directed toward assessing the environ
mental fate and the applicability of available and developing technology in implementing
disposal operations.
Phase II - Verification and Demonstration of One Mine and One Ocean Disposal Alternati
The objective of Phase II is to demonstrate (or simulate) on a pilot scale, if viable,
one mine and one ocean disposal alternative. In Phase II, ADL will be assisted by
New England Aquarium in the simulation of the ocean alternative.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED
In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries ot work in progress are excnangea witn government ana private ag
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 obtain existing data and evaluate its adequacy
to support the development of standards/regulations for land disposal of flue gas
desulfurization (FGC) sludges and to suggest new research, development, planning,
and activites related to the development of standards and regulations. The work shall
consist of two phases. Phase I shall consist of the establishment of criteria needed
by the FGC system user to evaluate his waste disposal options, including the com-
pilation and selection of existing or proposed regulations (e.g., for surface or ground
water) which have been or could be applied to FGC waste disposal, and the evaluation
of the economic and institutional impact of existing or proposed regulations. Phase II
shall consist of the selection or proposal of one or more regulations which will be
applied to the development of a preliminary set of guidelines for the disposal of FGC
sludges. In addition, research and development needs to finalize the guidelines that
will be identified. Although a limited amount of work may be conducted simultaneously
on both phases, Phase I should be essentially completed before initiating Phase II.

In this effort, Radian Corporation will conduct a study on minimizing water use
and wastewater discharges from coal-fired steam-electric power plants. This study
will consist of six tasks: (1) Plant selection and characterization—selection of 3 or 4
specific plants for detailed analysis; collection of detailed data on make-up process,
and effluent waters, plant design, operating modes, coal composition and climate for
each plant. (2) Process model preparation—preparation of computer models to simulate
make-up, process and effluent water streams and chemical equilibria of processes for
each of the specific plants selected for detailed study. (3) Simulation of existing
plant operations—verification of process computer models by comparing existing
plant chemical and operating data with data predicted by the models. (4) Technical
assessment of recycle/reuse options—formulation of a number of water recycle/reuse
options to minimize plant water requirements and discharges for the specific plants
selected for study; evaluation of at least one option (via process simulation) for each
plant. (5) Cost estimates—preparation of capital and operating cost estimates for
each viable water recycle/reuse option. (6) Recycle/Reuse assessment report-
detailed presentation of program results, including recommendations of the recycle/
reuse options to be used at each of the plants studied.

In rhe 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 project is designed to conduct further research and development on signifi-
cant process steps of Kellogg1 s proprietary "Kel-S" process, for which Kellogg holds
two patents and plans to apply for a third. The overall Kel-S process includes lime-
stone scrubbing and sludge oxidation steps which have already been extensively
tested on a pilot scale. This program involves further processing of the sludge,
specifically (1) reduction of the CaSCL-CaSO. mixture to CaS using coal as the
reductant, (2) dissolution of the CaS to Ca (HS) , and (3) recovery (precipitation) of
the Ca as CaCO» (with simultaneous release 01 H_S for potential production of
elemental S). The sludge reduction step has been tested in a small batch kiln; in
this program, it will be tested in a larger, continuous kiln. The dissolution and
precipitation steps have been tested on a bench scale using commercially produced
CaS; in this program further bench scale tests with reduced sludge, followed by
pilot scale continuous tests of these steps will be conducted.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
Demister efficiency has become a major concern as S0~ scrubbers have reached opera-
tional status due to possible penetration of sulfate material which then enters
the atmosphere. Measurement techniques have not been available to directly measure
demister performance. IERL-RTP developed a prototype instrument which is able to
size liquid aerosols and testing of this device indicates several areas in which im-
provements are needed for successful application of the device to sulfate scrubbers.
It is expected that completion of this effort should provide a total system capable
of determining demister performance continuously. Reliability, performance, and
range of the device will be increased to encompass the environment found in S0?
slurry scrubbers/demisters. Automatic and remote monitoring systems will be devised
for process control applications.
This contract will extend the use of the droplet sizing device to sulfate scrubber
demister evaluation, an area of urgent concern to EPA. Proper measurement tech-
niques will allow the selection of demister technology which could minimize or
eliminate direct sulfate emissions from SO scrubbers as well as provide process
control of the scrubbers and demisters.

continuous operation from June 1973 until July 1974 except for plant shutdowns and
periods of oil firing. Total operating time exceeding 2000 hours with NO Removal
Efficiency in the 85-95$ range.
Because of the projected shortage of natural gas, the success obtained during
gas fired tests, and the perceived need for commercial NO Removal process to be
compatible with oil firing, the program was redirected to allow testing on either gas
fired or oil fired combustion flue gas. This continuation will allow a more extensive
determination of the effect of temperature, space velocity, and other variables.
Analyses will also be performed on the effluent flue gas and solids to evaluate the
secondary effects of the control process. The results of this supporting laboratory
activity are expected to provide the necessary information for the formulation of
recommendations for possible future larger scale work.

Numerous technical papers and reports have been published in recent ytfars on
the subject of control of nitrogen oxides from stationary sources. The present
state-of-the-art is well established and has been adequately reported in the literature.
Federal New Source Performance Standards for NOX have been promulgated for a variety
of equipment classes and are planned for other sources in the near future. Additionally,
State and local standards for NOV are in effect-for specific existing and new combustion
sources.
•'x
It is important that the technical community engaged in research and development
of NOX control methods, as well as those involved in standards preparation and/or
enforcement, be kept informed of the status of NOX control technology developments
and implementation. By providing periodic concise announcements of planned or
implemented NOX control technology, the dialogue within the "NOx-community" can be
improved and technology transfer can be expedited.

The objectives of this program are to define the variables in pilot plant production
of fertilizer from scrubber product sludge, to study the compatibility factors
involved in storage and mixing of this fertilizer material with conventional
fertilizer, to analyze for trace elements and potential toxic species in this type
of fertilizer, to make a marketing and production cost study of this material, to
define how scrubber operation affects the characteristics of lime/limestone product
sludges, and to define the characteristics of and disposal methods for fluidized
bed combustion waste products.
The project has been underway for approximately two months. Current plans consist
of a pilot plant run to produce one to three tons of a 6-20-0 fertilizer from
spent scrubber sludge. Chemical, physical, and agronomic tests will be made on
this material.
The chemical and physical characteristics of sludges produced at the TVA-EPA Shawnee
scrubbing installation will be defined and correlated to the scrubber operating
conditions.
Initial plans for studying fluidized bed combustion waste products consist of collecting
and evaluating existing data on the chemical and physical characteristics of these
waste followed by actual analysis of wastes material to obtain total characterization.
An evaluation will also be made of methods designed for the disposal, treatment or
regeneration of this material

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 flow-
sheets, 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.
In addition to this objective, assistance will be given to EPA in their selection of
an S02 removal process of the regenerable, sulfur-producing type for demonstration-
scale testing on a 100-MW electric power unit and an S02 removal process of the double-
alkali type for a similar demonstration-scale installation. Comparative technology
analyses and preliminary economic estimates will be prepared.
As part of the overall EPA sludge disposal program, Task II of this project will
provide a design and cost study of the numerous lime-limestone scrubbing sludge dis-
posal 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. \

Ammonia scrubbing with ammonium bisulfate regeneration has the advantage of low energy
requirement compared with other recovery methods. Moreover, ammonium sulfate which is
formed by unavoidable oxidation is a useful product (fertilizer). A 1-MW pilot plant
is being operated to study the combination of ammonia scrubbing for 862 removal and
ammonium bisulfate regeneration to produce ammonia for recycle and a concentrated
stream of S02 for further processing. Separation of byproduct ammonium sulfate will be
studied.
The absorption section was operated with the plume emission within acceptable limits.
Release and recovery of the absorbed S02 has been accomplished satisfactorily in the
regeneration section. An evaporator-crystallizer was installed to concentrate and
crystallize the ammonium sulfate for separation. A decomposer will be installed in
FY 1975 to decompose the ammonium sulfate to ammonia for recycle to the absorption
section and acid ammonium bisulfate for recycle to the regeneration section. The
addition of the decomposer will complete the equipment requirements for the entire
closed-loop regeneration process.

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 Corpbration. 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. An updated conceptual design and cost study report is also planned

The primary purpose of Task I is to develop and improve all aspects of 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. A major part of the laboratory work on the
absorption step has been completed and work on the other steps is under way or being
planned. The purpose of Task II is to develop better methods and equipment for pro-
moting oxidation in S02 recovery systems where this would be desirable. Another
purpose is to develop methods for coping with inadvertent oxidation in systems where
oxidation is undesirable.
A gas-liquor contact device is being designed with the idea of providing improved
utilization of oxygen from air. Tests will be made to compare results with other
devices to determine most favorable energy to oxidation ratios.
Exploratory tests have been made to study the selective precipitation of barium
sulfate from potassium sulfate-sulfite and ammonium sulfate-sulfite solutions by
addition of barium chloride or barium carbonate. Chemical analyses are being obtained.

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 Grand Forks Energy Research Center has entered into a contract with two
utilities and a scrubber vendor for the purpose of further investigating and demon-
strating the feasibility of utilizing alkali solubilized from a lignite fly ash
produced in a cyclone-fired boiler in lieu of lime alkali as the chemical agent for
wet scrubbing in a 5,000 cfm pilot plant scrubber. Specific objectives of the
contract are: 1) to determine sulfur dioxide reduction using only fly ash and
also, varying amounts of lime alkali in conjunction with fly ash, 2) to determine
the severity of corrosion and scale formation, 3) to determine the chemistry of
cibsed loop operation, 4,1 to determine waste disposal problems associated with fly
ash-derived soluble salts and selected trace elements leached frem sludge, 5) to
determine a mass balance, including selected trace elements, of all input and output
materials, and 6) to evaluate the capital and operating costs of fly ash alkali wet
scrubbing for 100 MW, 500 MW, and 1000 MW powerplants.
In-house research is being conducted at the Grand Forks Energy Research Center
investigating two major changes in ash alkali scrubbing methods to achieve higher
levels of alkali utilization from the cyclone-fired fly ash. The first modification
will involve scrubbing flue gas with a low pH (below pH 3) solution and then neu-
tralizing a sidestream of the solution with fly ash. The second modification will
involve scrubbing flue gas with a mixed-salt double-alkali type solution derived
from fly ash so as to optimize utilization of specific fly ashes that are high in
sodium and magnesium as well as calcium.

As a coordinated part of the national program to develop coal-burning fluidized-
bed boilers, EPA is developing necessary environmental data on the fluidized-bed com-
bustion process, including paper studies and experimental investigations on a variety
of equipment. One part of the EPA fluidized combustion program is to be overall en-
vironmental assessment and systems analysis of the fluidized-bed combustion process,
conducted on a level-of-effort basis; the continually refined and updated output of
this analysis will be employed to guide the remainder of the EPA program.
The environmental assessment/systems analysis will include: (a) review of exist-
ing environmental, engineering and cost data; (b) identification of important pollu-
tants to all media and projection of attainable emission levels, including engineering
assessment of emission sources within the process and of control efficiencies and
costs, and including analysis of present and future environmental standards; (c) iden-
tification of missing information and design of a program to develop such information,
including (in selected cases) acquisition of necessary missing data; and (d) design
and execution of a source sampling and ambient monitoring program on selected existing
and future fluidized-bed combustors.

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.
In the effort to develop efficient and environmentally acceptable energy
sources, a number of processes that involve process streams operating
at elevated temperatures and pressures will be evaluated and commercially
demonstrated. Primary among these processes are coal gasification system
and high pressure fluidized bed combustors. In order to adequately
evaluate the air pollution potential and control efficiency requirements
for these processes it is necessary to make measurements in the process
streams at elevated temperatures and pressures. Because of the extreme
environment, several factors that do not pose significant sampling
problems at lower temperatures and pressures become critical at the
elevated conditions. Among these are: test crew safety, materials of
construction, preventing process leaks, and damage to the process itself.
For these reasons, it has become necessary to develop special measure-
ment techniques for high temperature, high pressure applications.
The purpose of this effort is to provide for the evaluation, development,
field testing and applications research of the high temperature, high
pressure measurement techniques necessary to conduct environmental assess
ments and technology development projects in the energy and industrial
processes areas. The contractor will be responsible for measurement
evaluation and development; preparation of guidelindes and recommended
procedures; solution of specific problems; and, assistance to all
project officers and contractors in the application of procedures to
specific process streams.

The Contractor will propose an approach for comprehensive analysis of emissions
from FBC units, to enable identification of the specific constituents present in the
waste streams as quickly and as easily as possible when the streams include a very
wide range of constituents which cannot be identified beforehand.
The Contractor will then test this approach by conducting a comprehensive analysis
of emissions from an existing 6-inch i.d. atmospheric-pressure experimental unit, and
will revise the approach as necessary based on the results.

The CPU-400 Process Development Unit, built by EPA to burn municipal refuse
in a pressurized fluidized bed, will be operated on coal for a brief time during the
fall of 1975 under ERDA sponsorship. IERL/RTP intends to obtain samples from the
outlet gas stream and the inlet and outlet solid streams during operation on coal,
and to perform a comprehensive analysis using these samples and on-line measure-
ments .
Under the initial-phase contract, Combustion Power Co. (CPC) will install the
necessary sampling equipment to obtain the necessary samples. Under a separate
contract (with CPC or with another organization), samples will be collected and
analyses performed.
The comprehensive analysis will include consideration of all potential pollutants
in appropriate streams, and will include biological testing of selected samples.

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.
A relatively small, flexible experimental fluidized-bed coal combustion unit will
be designed, and constructed at the EPA facilities in the Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina. The unit will subsequently be operated in an extended in-house test
program to provide EPA with the following objectives: .
1. Comprehensive analysis of emissions from fluidized-bed combustors.
2. Testing of alternative sampling and analytical procedures for fluidized-
bed combustion.
3. Investigation of alternative add-on environmental control devices for
fluidized combustion systems.
In this new coal utilization technology, coal is burned in a fluidized-bed of
non-combustible material, usually an SO2-control sorbent, and boiler tubes are
immersed in the bed. The rapid motion of the fluidized particles at the heat transfer
surfaces, together with high heat-transfer rates between gas and particles, makes
the fluidized-bed a highly efficient heat-transfer medium. Also fluidized-bed boilers
offer the potential for inherently low environmental impact simultaneously with reduced
power costs.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach. (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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 primary objective of the project is to provide reports of "Tentative
Procedures for Environmental Assessment of ...." for each of three FBC processes.
Each document will describe in detail the sampling and analytical procedures that
could be employed on each identified stream and for each identified pollutant class.
The processes for which the state-of-the-art will be identified include: Atmospheric
pressure residual oil gasification/desulfurization; pressurized FBC of coal; and
atmospheric pressure FBC of coal.
The program will review the literature and will contact knowledgeable individuals
associated with the development of FBC processes to identify the influent streams,
the effluent streams, and the stream conditions which will be sampled as part of an
environmental assessment. This information will be utilized to recommend the
preferred procedure for each FBC application, based upon current sampling/analytical
technology or minor extension thereof. These recommendations will include, but not
be limited to: sampling (of gases entrained aerosols, organics, fugitive emissions,
and solids) and analytical procedures (for gaseous, liquid, and solid inorganic
compounds; particulate, gaseous, and liquid hydrocarbons).

A paper assessment will be conducted of the effect of experimental scale on
emissions from fluidized-bed combustion units. The results of this project will be
employed by EPA to decide on what experimental scale environmental data must be
collected to allow complete environmental characterization of the FBC process, and
to permit reliable scale-up of the environmental data to the commercial scale. The
Contractor will utilize his background and experience in the areas of fluidization,
combustion technology and scale-up to indicate:
a) for each pollutant, in each process stream and process variation, those
factors (if any) which might cause the emissions to be different at larger
scale;
b) the predicted magnitude of the effect of scale for each pollutant, and the
basis for predicting such an effect;
c) the reliability with which the effect can be predicted, and thus the
importance of obtaining data on a larger scale; and
d) the scale on which data would be required to allow accurate prediction of
emissions at commercial scale.

EPA has undertaken a program to develop an atmospheric pressure fluidized bed oil
gasification/desulfurization process to provide clean fuel to a boiler which has cul-
minated in the construction and operation of a one-megawatt pilot gasifier.
Preliminary conceptual designs of oil gasification/desulfurization systems for
full scale power plants have been produced and evaluated, using EPA-Esso data. The
concept appears technically feasible, effective in reducing SO-, NO , and particulate
emissions; and economically competitive with alternative sulfur control options. A
working prototype of the oil gasification process installed in an existing power plant
is required to demonstrate the concept of a commercially viable scale. This effort is
for a second-generation design manual, a preliminary test plan, and the engineering
support portion for construction and operation of a prototype plant.

of residual oil in the U. S. that is likely to be available for use as a fuel
now and in the future (1985) and primary factors affecting this supply. What
will be the impact of continued U. S. petroleum shortages on the supply?
(2) To determine the distribution of this supply as to the geographical loca-
tion (both production and use) in the U. S.; (3) To determine the present
usage of the residual oil, that is, how much is burned, how much is cut back
or modified before use, how much is coked, how much is used for feedstock
to petrochemical processes or other non-energy uses; and (5) To project how
much the supply/demand might be affected if suitable means for environmentally
sound use as a fuel (without furhter processing) were available.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
EPA's commitment to environmentally assess and to develop control tech-
nology applicable to coal gasifiers, coal liquification, chemical coal
cleaning and industrial processes has created a need to evaluate the
composition of process and efflu,ent streams for an extensive number of
inorganic species. Previous efforts have been directed towards the
sampling and analysis of oxidized inorganic forms; e.g.
SO,
N() and
X
metal oxides. Very little effort has been directed towards the evalua-
tion and standardization of measurement techniques for reduced inorganic
compounds. This effort will be directed toward the development & applica
tion of sampling and analysis procedures for the complete range of in-
organic species.
The purpose of this effort is to provide for the evaluation, development
field testing and applications research of the inorganic substances
sampling and analytical procedures necessary to conduct environmental
assessments and technology development projects in the energy and in-
dustrial processes areas. The contractor will 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.

Coal combustion contributes approximately 80% of the total weight of
sulfur oxide emissions from stationary source fossil fuel combustion.
The annual consumption of coal in these operations is expeted to triple
by the year 2000 to meet expected power requirements. However, the
recognition of the hazards to human health and natural environment
from the continuation of these SO emissions has resulted in the
establishment of air quality regulations which either limit the maximum
sulfur content of the fuel to be combusted or establish a limit on the
quantity of SO which may be emitted into the atmosphere.
X
The purpose of this project is to provide for a detailed systems study
of the developing coal liquefaction industry. This study will result
in an environmental assessment of potential atmospheric emission
problems which would hinder the development of needed technology for
the production of clean-burning liquid fuels from coal. From this
study the requirements for application of existing or development of
new technology for controlling atmospheric pollution from coal lique-
faction would be identified. Appropriate programs for needed develop-
ment and/or demonstration of the required control technology would be
established.

The IERL-RTP is presently conducting research into environmental
assessment of process technology and environmental controls for fuel
processing and synthetic fuels. The Laboratory needs increasing effort
in program support and an independent appraisal of the on-going environ-
mental assessment, control technology development and process develop-
ment studies. The complexity of this technology and the need to inter-
face with both EPA laboratories and other agency programs require effort
and techniques beyond presently available capabilities.
The purpose of the proposed effort is to: (1) satisfy a continuing
need for systems analysis and program support in coal processing,
coal liquefaction, coal gasification and shale oil; (2) provide a
viewpoint that is independent of contractors working on environmental
assessment, control technology development, and process development;
(3) provide assistance to EPA in reviewing and evaluating literature,
reports and on-going efforts. -•<•

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 ability of some polycyclic and other 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 expense of sampling and analysis for POM. 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 POM and
other 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 samp-
ling and analytical procedures necessary to conduct environmental
assessments and technology development projects in the energy and in-
;dustrial processes programs. The contractor will be responsible for:
'measurement evaluation and development; preparation of guidelines and
'recommended procedures; solution of specific problems; comprehensive
analysis of samples; and, assistance to all project officers and
contractors in the application of procedures to specific process streams.

EPA is presently conducting research into process technology and
environmental controls for synthetic fuels. In order to assure develop-
ment of emission controls and clean fuel processes concurrent with
synthetic fuel technology, IERL-RTP needs a Control Technology Develop-
ment Program which will result in controls for air, water and wolid
waste pollution from fuel 'conversion plants. Concurrent environmental
assessment programs in fuel conversion and coal preparation will provide
a base of information on environmental impact from which the contractor
will develop controls under the proposed contract.
The purpose of the proposed contract is to identify and develop
needed control technology for the treatment of solid and liquid wastes
from fuel conversion processes and the preparation, storage and feeding
of coal to converter systems. The program will provide to the coal
conversion industry a basis for design, operating characteristics, cost
estimation and comparative analysis for control systems.

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.
Both the Federal Government and private industry are currently funding
research in fuel conversion with major emphasis on the conversion aspect
of the technology. However, it is important that the environmental
considerations of fuel conversion not be ignored or neglected.
In order that the most efficient and environmentally acceptable systems
be developed, it is necessary that environmentally-related data be
collected on the systems being developed now and in the near future.
This will provide the basis for defining, developing and demonstrating
any required environmental safeguards prior to a fuel conversion
system's commercialization.
The purpose of this project is to set-up and carry out the necessary
management functions for obtaining environmentally-related data on
fuel conversion systems and to actually obtain the desired information
through sampling and analysis.

Data are needed to determine the fate of the potentially hazardous trace com-
ponents of coal during cleaning operations, during converstion operations such as
gasification, and during direct combustion. From this, more effective environmental
controls may be developed to limit the quantities and effects of these emissions.
This study is concerned with the determination of the distribution of inorganic
constituents in coal. The objective is to identify the mineralogical occurrence of
potentially hazardous inorganic (trace metals) constituents in the coal. The methods
to be employed include, but are not limited to, low temperature ashing, x-ray
fluorescence, atomic absorption, scanning electron microscope, neutron activation
analysis, etc.

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.
A number of advanced air pollution abatement, waste disposal and energy
conversion processes under development require devices for the removal
of particulates from gases at high temperatures and/or high pressures.
In many of these advanced processes either the technical or economic
feasibility of the process is dependent upon adequate particulate ]
clean-up. The development of high-efficiency particulate control de-
vices for these high-temperature, high-pressure application is hindered
by the lack of fundamental information on the mechanics of aerosols at
high temperatures and pressures.
The objectives of this effort are to determine the effects pf high
temperatures and high pressures on particle collection mechanisms and
to identify mechanisms that can be used for high efficiency removal
of particles for high temperatures and/or high pressure gas streams.
To meet these objectives the project will center around a theoretical
and experimental study of the mechanics of aerosols at high temperatures
and high pressures.

EPA is presently conducting research into process technology and
environmental controls for synthetic fuels. In order to insure develop-
ment of emission controls and clean fuel processes concurrent with
synthetic fuel technology, the IERL-RTP will require a bench-scale pilot
plant to assist in control technology development. The proposed project
is a gas cleaning test facility and coal gasifier to be located at the
EPA Laboratories in Research Triangle Park, N. C. A Preliminary pro-
cess design for the unit has been completed and under contract. The
proposed effort will provide a bench-scale pilot plant operating under
the direct control of IERL-RTP which will allow study of cleanup methods
for coal gasification products, by-products and effluents. The
facility will allow the Laboratory to place emphasis on the environ-
mental aspects of coal gasification process development.

The pressurized producer gas must be expanded from system pressure to 10 psig.
This is best accomplished in an expanding turbine-generator set. The power output
from this unit exceeds the power requirement to compress the air for the coal gasifi-
cation step. The excess power so recovered is a net credit to the process. Continued
development and further improvement of the process are required to permit the most
beneficial commercial application of the process.
This task will capitalize on the findings made under the original contract, that
elemental sulfur can be produced via this reaction, using the regenerator off-gas.
Further investigation and experimentation are required to acquire data adequate for
evaluation of the liquid phase Glaus process with respect to other schemes for hand-
ling the sulfur removed from the fuel gas.

Effective conversion and utilization of domestic fossil fuel resources
have become increasingly important in recent years in the light of the
fuel supply-demand relationships in the United States. Technology for
the achievement of commercial conversion facilities is being heavily
supported in both the Governmental and industrial sectors. The product
and by-product slates from fossil fuel conversion/utilization systems
need to be examined in detail in order to establish that conversion
system products and by-products will be usable both with minimal adverse
environmental effects and with optimal utilization of the secondary
resources produced from the conversion systems. This study would provide
for such an evaluation and would additionally define effective programs
for insuring the sound environmental utilization of fuel system products/
by-products. Appropriate development efforts to support effective
environmental utilization would be conducted.

The literature on nitrogen constituent contents of oils and removal techniques will
be reviewed to determine the most realistic liquids to be used and identify possible
catalyst/supports.
Catalyst/supports will be evaluated using screening tests of less than 15 days to
determine which combinations deserve additional evaluation.
Follow on work will be pursued to evaluate newer methods and to increase both
the scale of the work and duration of tests.
The most promising methods will be evaluated on synthetic oils obtained from
liquefaction process developers.

Petroleum refineries consist of a complex of physical and chemical transformation
operations. Many of the individual sources of emissions within the refinery have
been identified. However, it has been reported that fugitive sources may be the
principal emitters of hydrocarbons. Additionally, in the light of domestic energy
problems and refinery siting problems, definition of control measures for refineries
will assist in refinery site approvals, and environmental control of refinery effluents
may have definite cost advantages for refinery operations. The planned project will
attempt to define and quantify these areas for refinery study by providing an
assessment for application of technology (new or existing) for air, solid, and water
effluent control within a petroleum refining complex. The study will quantify the
potential for emissions from each of the array of physical and chemical transformation.
Attention will be given to "fugitive" or previously unaccounted for emissions, to
operations expected to utilize heavier feedstocks and to practiced control technology.

The Energy Research and Development Administration, Division of Operational
Safety, with the cooperation and assistance of EPA and the States involved, is under-
taking an appraisal of about 17 inactive uranium ore milling sites in five Western
States. The immediate objective is to provide to the Congress and the State legis-
latures engineering studies and cost estimates for long-term stabilization of the
radioactive wastes resulting from the milling operations. The Office of Radiation
Programs, through its Las Vegas Facility provides technical measurement capability
for assessment of the impact of environmental radioactive contamination caused by
these tailings sites. Technical reports defining the extent of contamination are
being developed and will be provided to the ERDA architect-engineer for use in
assessing the cost of remedial action alternatives.
Working levels of radon daughters in the environs of the mill site at Salt
Lake City, Utah, have already been provided to the State of Utah and ERDA.
Three technical reports on radon data and gamma surveys of inactive uranium mill
sites are being prepared at this time. One report deals with radon exhalation
data on three inactive uranium tailings piles to define the radon-222 source
term. The second report presents ambient radon data around the Grand Junction,
Colorado mill site to determine the effects of stabilization on radon levels
around an inactive uranium mill tailings pile. The EPA has conducted a gamma
survey around the inactive tailings piles involved in the ERDA/EPA study to
determine the extent of contamination from wind and water erosion. This third
report is now being compiled for distribution to interested parties.

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.
This project is designed to furnish data on costs and achievable risk reductions
for a wide range of protective actions applicable to radioactively contaminated lands,
property, water supplies, personnel, and biota following a nuclear incident.
A baseline aggregate radiation dose to members of the general public following
a nuclear incident with no decontamination control technology in effect will be cal-
culated assuming parametric levels of radioactive contamination. The aggregate dose,
person-rems, is the result of exposure through all exposure pathways as integrated
over the total exposed population and is a measure of risk. Each plausible element
of control technology will then be evaluated for cost and for effectiveness in dose
reduction. The aggregate dose will be recalculated with the various control tech-
nologies in use. Control technology options will be arranged in hierarchical order
on a cost effective basis. Finally, health effects will be calculated from the
aggregate dose, and cost risk curves, health effects vs cost for a series of
increasingly effective protective actions, will be plotted.
A contract to complete this project is currently under negotiation.

00 Objective Summary: Directed primarily at control of solid low-level radioactive
wastes resulting from power production by nuclear reactors. Two major objectives
include: (1) determining retention of radioactive and stable nuclides by fractured soil
and rocks (Phase I) and (2) improving models simulating groundwater transport of radio-
active pollutants after burial (Phase II).
(2) Approach: Feasibility of developing generic method for making field determination
of retention of radioactive and stable nuclides by fractured soil and rock (Phase I)
will be evaluated with FY 75 funds. Presuming it is feasible, major tasks under this
portion of project will be (1) to determine degree of retention actually occurring under
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 en-
vironment of burial site and potential dose to man (Phase II) will be partially
evaluated with FY 75 funds. 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. Implementation of Phases I and II in progress.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
A radioactive waste management technology assessment model is being developed to
evaluate the various permanent waste disposal methods and management options, so that the
long-term adequacy of provisions for burial is assured and so that the total cost of
radioactive waste handling and disposal is minimized.
This model has a parallel branch for each major phase in the waste management
sequence, beginning with treatment and temporary storage at the fuel reprocessing plant
and commencing through transportation to a repository, repository operations, and long-
term storage at the repository. The main emphasis has been on the last phase where
environmental protection must be insured over a long geologic time frame. Each branch
3f the model includes fault tree analyses to determine probabilities and magnitudes of
various potential releases of radioactive material, an environmental model for calcula-
ting transport of radionuclides through environmental pathways to man, individual and
>opulation dose and other environmental effects, and an economic model for evaluation of
associated damage charges. Implementation is with a computer code AMRAW, which uses a
letwork of transfer coefficients and receptors. AMRAW accommodates input obtained with
existing environmental pathway and radiation dose codes.
Application of this technology assessment model by EPA is planned for the following
ises: (1) to compare and assess future facilities proposed for high-level waste disposal
[2) to help develop the technical bases and guidelines for establishing environmental
jolicy relative to the control of commercial alpha wastes and high-level wastes, (3) to
ipply information from the model to EPA's continuing effort to develop the generic
ability to evaluate the environmental acceptability of presently operating and proposed
fuel cycle facilities that produce, treat, store, or dispose of radioactive waste, and
'4} to help develop concepts, evaluate feasibility, and establish the control technology
for the long-term storage and disposal of high-level radioactive wastes.

In thf 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.
Approach: Radioactive wastes were dumped at sea under Atomic Energy Commission licensing
procedures from 1946 to 1966. EPA now has specific regulatory requirements to control
ocean disposal of radioactive wastes at sea under the Marine Protection Research &
Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (PL 92-532). EPA has developed a program to investigate two
major formerly-used U.S. radioactive waste dumping sites located off the East and West
coasts at depths exceeding 2000 meters using manned and unmanned submersibles, respec-
tively.
Objectives: The general objective of the program is to determine the fate of the radio-
active materials formerly dumped in order to technically evaluate present and potential
permit applications for nuclear waste disposal. Specific objectives include: (1) en-
vironmental evaluation of formerly-used sites to determine both their, potential as future
dumpsites and their generic characteristics from which to judge suitability of other
potential deepwater dumpsites; (2) condition of packaged radioactive wastes formerly
dumped—with this information to be used as a basis for future radwaste packaging re-
quirements; observations of packaging include hydrostatic pressure effects, corrosion
rates, and matrix efficiencies for waste retention; and (3) behavior of radionuclides
released from containers by determining current vectors and sediment cation exchange
capacities.
Progress: EPA has completed the first successful studies of the major East Coast and
West Coast radioactive waste dumpsites, respectively, using the deep submersible ALVIN
at a depth exceeding 9000 feet, and the Navy unmanned submersible CURV III at depths of
3000 and 6000 feet. Some sediment radioanalyses and extensive photographic documentatioi
have been completed. Current-vector measurements are being made and container eorrosion
studies are being planned.

The objective is to obtain data on plume definition, drift characteristics, and transporjt:
and thermodynamics that can be used to accurately predict environmental phenomena for
large thermal rotor systems. The plume will be traversed horizontally & vertically approbt«
60rreters downwind of the basin by mounting an instrument package on a vertical mast mounted
on a flat-bed truck. For measurements further downwind,(300-ISOOmeters) the instrument peg.
can be supported by a helium balloon. Fixed sensors will provide hot and cold water
temperatures in the basin. Drift characteristics will be determined by using special
instruments ESC has developed.
Thermal instruments will be used to define the plume. They measure wet bulb & dry
bulb temperatures, relative humidity, wind speed and direction.
Drift characterization and transport will be monitored with BSC's Pills II system
which measures drift particle size distribution and will be complimented with their
water sensitive paper machine.
Isokinetic sampling of drift and chemical analysis will provide information for
calculating total drift emission and the drift fraction of a module.
An Airborne Particle Monitoring System (APS) will be used to monitor the concentration
of a tracer chemical downwind from the modules. This will provide continuous drift
particle transport information.
The processed data output will be comprised of a series of curves which describe the
important parameters of interest as a function of the meteorlogical condition and module
spacing. ESC will provide the final report.

The uork will involve a development of an SOP describing the methods for production
of isothermal inaps from thennal scanner data. Maps are to be used as interpretation
tools to state-of-the-art tolerances. The technique begins with A to D conversion
of scanner data. An atmospheric correction based on homogeneous reference areas of
water is then applied to the data to eliminate variation in scan an^le and the data
forced to a limited number of ground truth temperature points, thus establishing
atmospheric temperature corrections. These corrections are then applied to all data
acquired in that mission. Another development will be application of aerial, multi-
spectral techniques in waterbody monitoring. The developmental program would lead
from photographic, through airborne spectroscopy, to, ultimately, a mapping scanner.
Analyses of data to detect chlorophyll, turbid water, certain elements of water mass
structures and some pollutants are possible if proper bands and detectors are
specified and installed in a scanning system. Such investigations need to be ex-
panded to determine concentration levels and the error effects caused by various
meteorological conditions, in addition to the development of refinements of technique
in order to improve confidence level. A basic problem, however, is the separation
of interfering molecular combinations.

[n trw Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
orting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
The objectives of this project are to evaluate the use of membrane processes, e.g.,
reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, for refurbishing power plant discharge waters
to make them acceptable for reuse; to determine whether one or more mechanisms may
be beneficially utilized to reduce impingement; to evaluate the engineering and environ
mental aspects of wet/dry cooling towers; and to participate in the evaluation of the
Cherne Spray Thermal Rotor System.
The approach includes: (l) laboratory studies on commercially available reverse
osmosis and ultrafiltration membranes to determine their ability to render power
plant waste streams suitable for recycle, (2) studies on the more promising mechanism
for reduction of fish impingement, and (3) studies on a prototype wet/dry cooling
tower to evaluate the engineering and environmental problems associated with the
tower.
Current plans include beginning laboratory work in the membrane task around
October 1, 1975.

Task I. Soil heating to extend crop growing season involves research to determine the
feasibility of using waste heat to extend the growing season of field and horticultura
crops. Preliminary soil heating test using electric cables to simulate warm water has
looked encouraging. Soil-warming, compared with nonheated soil, has more than doubled
the yield of some vegetable crops under field conditions. Further studies of the
response of plants to warmed soil will be conducted utilizing discharged hot water at
Muscle Shoals and/or the Waste Heat Utilization Center at Browns Ferry.
Task II. Biological recycling of nutrients from livestock wastes focuses on the
utilization of waste heat in the management of livestock wastes. Research is being
conducted to determine if the nutrients in animal wastes can be removed and utilized
by aquatic plants, and to determine if these plants can be used as a primary food
source for beneficial marine animals, or as a direct feedstuff for rumen animals. The
recycling systems are being designed to permit the operation of a livestock enterprise
on a limited land area with minimum environmental effects. Nutrients will be removed
from the liquified livestock waste by algae and other aquatic plants with subsequent
harvest by fish and other aquatic organisms such as clams which will be used as a high
protein supplement for livestock rations and for possible human consumption.

NAME AND ADDRESS OF APPLICANT INSTITUTION
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
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.
Fuel cells and their potential as non-polluting, energy-conserving
power sources have gained great attention in recent months. When viewed
alone, they are cleaner and more efficient than our present coal-fired
power plants, automobile engines, etc. The question remains, however,
is a complete energy supply system using fuel cells cleaner and more
efficient than alternative systems? Are the investment and operating
costs comparable? This study shall attempt to answer these questions.
Using the information from this study and other sources, we shall decide
whether to support or to recommend the development of fuel-cell systems
or alternative energy supply systems.
For the purposes of this study an "energy supply system" is a total
system for supplying an energy product to a consumer. The system starts
with a natural energy source (such as coal or oil shale), processes it,
converts it into an intermediate fuel, transports the fuel to the
consumer, and there uses it to produce an energy end-product. The
energy end-product can be heating, cooling, lighting, motive work via
motors, etc.

The purpose of this work is to provide an environmental assessment of
a variety of advanced energy conversion technologies. Cycles to be
investigated include MHD, high temperature gas turbines, the Feher
cycle, potassium topping cycles, thermionics and thermogalvanics. Each
cycle will be evaluated for its impact on air pollution emissions,
solid waste disposal, and water and liquid waste.
The end result of this program will be a preliminary environmental
assessment of each cycle and suggestions of appropriate control tech-
nology which can be incorporated into the cycles to improve their
environmental impact.
This procurement requests proposals for a 40,000 manhour level of
effort contract to environmentally assess several advanced energy con-
version cycles. The study will involve both analytical and field testing
studies to evaluate the impact of each cycle on air, water, and land
quality. The study will also develop programs plans for the application
or development of pollution control technology as required for each of
the cycles studied.

lation, flash dif!:i.tl£tion ant' molecular distillation. Pretreatment of the oil prior to
processing will be investigated as a weans of improving its processing properties.
Phase II, during the second year, would involve chemical processing of the oil and/ot
fractions from p>,-::..le.£l processing. Chemical processing would include, but not be limited
to, hydrogcnation, alkylation and cracking. Products from different chemical processing
techniques would be characterised as to their chemical and physical nature.
Phase III, during the third year, would be determined in large measure by the result?
of Phases I and II. An evaluation of the results of Phases"I and II would'be made to
select the most .premising processing and treatment methods for upgrading pyrolytic oils.
These processing r.cthods would then be investigated at the pilot plant level.

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 oi: refuse-coal ratio ana 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 particulate samples will be collected throughout
the periods that corrosion probes are inserted at severs! locations in the heat-
recovery passes. These probes will be examined for corrosion attack and deposit
composition for various gas and metal temperature? to provide guidance in- future
utilization of solid waste as a supplementary fuel.

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 creatf 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 modern 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.

The objective of this project is an in-depth technical feasibility study of the
use of solar energy as a means of heating an anaerobic sludge digester. Based on the
best information available on solar energy equipment capacities and cost, a solar
energy collection, heat storage, and heat transfer system will be designed that will
provide sludge digester heating requirements for one of the two active anaerobic
digesters at the municipal wastewater treatment plant at Annapolis, Maryland.
Estimation will be made of all capital, installation, operating, and maintenance
costs of the solar energy system and compared with costs of a digester heating system
utilizing sludge gas. Cost comparisons between the two systems and the net value of
alternative uses of the sludge gas will be made. Specifications and engineering
drawings will be prepared of all hardware associated with the optimal designed solar
energy system. In addition, a research plan will be prepared for demonstrating the
technical feasibility and economic advantages of using solar energy for heating an
anaerobic digester in a wastewater treatment plant. The research plan will include
proposed methods for (1) installing the solar energy system, (2) operating the system,
(3) evaluating the system through collection of operating data, and (4) evaluating
costs, trade-off advantages and disadvantages over other energy sources, and scale-up
economics. This part of the work will be planned around two similar digesters
operating under identical conditions except one will be heated with sludge gas or oil
and the other with solar energy.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Glass melting furnaces are considered a potential source of fine particulate, sulfur
oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other gases which are generally considered undesirable
atmospheric emissions. In 1971, the glass industry ranked ninth in total fuels
purchased by manufacturing industries. Two-thirds of the energy utilized by the
glass industry was consumed by the high temperature melting furnaces in which raw
materials are converted into molten glass. With most high temperature operations,
the thermal efficiency is low, usually less than 35 percent. The product of this
work will be the development of technology which reduces air emissions and improve the
energy utilization of the glass melting furnace. ••
The purpose of this effort is to develop control technology for the abatement of air
emissions from glass melting furnaces. A secondary benefit1will be to improve the
thermal efficiency of the furnaces and hence to conserve energy. The ultimate goal
of this program is to demonstrate the technical and economic benefits of this
technology ^on a commercial glass melting furnace within the industry.

Objective; Investigate energy recovery applied to nonferrous smelters while
simultaneously easing the control of air pollutants.
Approach; Recovery of heat contained in smelter flue gases is an approach potentially
capable of conserving considerable quantities of fossil fuel (chiefly natural gas) in
pyrometallurgical processes used for recovery of non-ferrous metals such as copper,
zinc, and lead. Although such recovery of waste heat has been practiced on the
limited scales in the U. S. or elsewhere (chiefly for steam generation), it is con-
ceivable that by the application of available heat exchange devices (pebble bed or
other type suitable heat exchangers) large quantities of additional waste energy can*
be claimed and made available for preheating air streams that are being supplied to
various process units of existing smelters. Present practice of quenching hot flue
gases by dilution with ambient air greatly increases a total gas volume discharged by
a smelter. The recovery of waste heat and its utilization for electricity generation and
for preheating process air therefore, would considerably reduce a total waste gas flow
from the source. Since smelter effluent gas is always subject to purification before its
discharge into the atmosphere (removal of particulate matter, sulfur oxides or other
impurities), the possibility of reducing its total volume through heat exchange implies
also technical and economical advantages that could be gained in addition to con-
servation of energy.
The proposed effort is to evaluate potential heat recovery systems and to
develop preliminary designs for full scale application of the most potentially
promising systems.
