                           I.   INTRODUCTION
     The Cherokee Station powerplant in suburban North Denver is
owned and operated by Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCC).   It
has four base-loaded coal- and/or gas-fired steam generators with a
total electrical generating capacity (gross) of 775 megawatts (MW).


BACKGROUND

     The Colorado Air Pollution Control Regulation No. I.A.I requires
that no person shall emit an air contaminant in excess of 20% opacity.
It also allows for a condition called 'upset'  which is an unpredictable
equipment failure or other malfunction which results in the violation
of an emission control regulation, and which is not due to improper or
careless operation.  An 'upset1 is not considered a violation of the
Regulation if it is immediately reported to the Air Pollution Control
Division of the State of Colorado Department of Health.

     Although equipped with extensive air pollution control equipment
such as mechanical collectors, electrostatic precipitators (ESP's), and
scrubbers, the Cherokee plant has a long history of opacity excursions.
The Company attributes these excursions to control equipment operation
and maintenance problems and states that every reasonable effort is made
on a continuing basis to correct and prevent such problems.  However,
the opacity excursions have continued.

     In June 1977, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's)  Region
VIII in Denver requested that the National Enforcement Investigations
*  This report uses the term 'excursion' to describe an emission in
   excess of 20% opacity.

-------
Center (NEIC) evaluate the design, operation and maintenance of the
Company's air pollution control equipment.   Region VIII also notified
the Public Service Company of Colorado that NEIC would conduct visible
emission observations (VEO's) of the Cherokee Station powerplant (off
the property) for 1 1/2 months.  In a conference between Company officials
and attorneys and EPA representatives, NEIC personnel explained that a
process evaluation would be conducted concurrent with the VEO's; the
Company thus granted EPA permission to enter the plant.


STUDY OBJECTIVES

     The objectives of the NEIC evaluation were as follows:

     First, determine the cause of reported emissions of >20% equivalent
     opacity by evaluating the design, operation, and maintenance of the
     air pollution control equipment.

     Second, determine the accuracy of the in-stack opacity monitors by
     evaluating the meter capabilities, their location, and the Company
     procedures in calibrating and maintaining the meters.

     Third, conduct visible emission observations (VEO) in conjunction
     with the above objectives.

     Fourth, suggest ways to improve reliability of the particulate
     control system.
*  The Company allotted plant entry at any time under the following
   conditions:  during normal working hours3 those entering were to
   sign the plant's visitor book,, contact the senior results engineer
   or his assistant; on off-duty hourst they were to sign in and then
   report to the shift supervisor.

-------
     The evaluation involved an intensive in-plant  observation  period
in July-August 1977 to collect data on boiler operation,  air  pollution
control equipment, opacity meters,  and visible emissions.  Additional
VEO's were taken in October 1977.   (Evaluation data are  in Appendix A,
and the visible emission data are  summarized  in Appendix  B.)  NEIC
personnel also observed routine adjustment of the control  equipment by
the Company and inspected the ESP's and scrubbers when they were
removed from service.  To further  evaluate scrubber operation,  design
and operating data were compared with literature references.

     This report uses the terms availability  and reliability  to describe
operation of the particulate control equipment.  Availability,  as de-
fined by PSCC is:
..,..,..  _ Scrubber hours operation - hours boiler burning  100% gas
Mvaiiaointy   Boiler hours operation - hours boiler burning  100% gas

Reliability, as used in the report is defined as the percent  of time
the boiler is on-line that the particulate control  systems are  operating
and meeting applicable particulate regulations.

-------
                     II.   SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
     The National Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC)  evaluated  in
detail the design, operation and maintenance of the Cherokee Station  air
pollution control equipment during July and August 1977.  The evaluation
included equipment inspections and in-plant observations  of the electro-
static precipitators, scrubbers, and opacity meters, as well  as visible
                      *
emission observations.   NEIC also suggested ways to improve the re-
liability of Cherokee's particulate control equipment.


ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR EVALUATION

     Evaluation of the ESP's was hampered because NEIC was  not able to
determine if, or to what extent, the gas conditioning agent was being
added to the boiler offgases.  This made it difficult to  interpret the
electrical operating parameters, such as the cause of low power input.
However, information was obtained on the design, operation  and maintenance
of the ESP's, along with results of tests run by PSCC between 1965 and
1976.

     The ESP's were designed for collection efficiencies  of 87 to 94%
and the design parameters are comparable to other fly ash ESP's designed
in the late 1960's for collection efficiencies of 80 to 90%.  A review
of the design and operating data indicates these precipitators are
undersized if more efficient collection (>90%) of the fly ash is required.

     Early test results on the ESP efficiencies indicated that these
units are operating at lower than design efficiencies {shown in paren-
theses), with typical values reported by PSCC as:
*  Additional VEO's were made in October 197?, and are included in the
   VEO summaries contained in Section VI and Appendix B of this report.

-------
               Unit 1 - 50% (90%)        Unit 3-51* (87%)
               Unit 2 - 89% (94%)        Unit 4 -  42% (87%)

These values are five years old, and data on present ESP efficiencies
were not available for this study.

     Since the outlet loadings from recent tests  conducted  by the
Company are in the same range as the previous efficiency tests, an
increase in ESP efficiency is unlikely.  Thus, the efficiencies reported
above are considered representative of the ESP operations.   Because the
coal quality and the effectiveness of the gas conditioning  system would
affect these efficiencies, additional tests would be needed to update
these ESP efficiencies.

     The electrical operating data indicate that the ESP's  are operating
at lower power inputs than typical fly ash precipitators, and of the
four ESP's at Cherokee, the Unit 1 ESP had the lowest power input.
Possibly the Sulfan system on Unit 1 was not operating properly.  This
was indicated by the Unit 1 ESP controls which appeared to  be spark rate
limited, causing a reduction in power input.  Higher power  inputs
typically would increase the ESP collection efficiencies.

     Although the precipitators are tuned every day during  the normal
work week, the effectiveness of this procedure could not be determined
for two reasons.  First, Company representatives indicated  that no data
is recorded by the electricians during tuning; second, specific values
of the normal and abnormal conditions were not identified.   In addition,
the meter readings on Unit 3 ESP are suspect, since the power effi-
ciencies of the transformer-rectifier sets were greater than "1" in most
cases.

     The maintenance of the ESP's was adequate.  Most of the maintenance
on both ESP's and mechanical collectors  is done as needed.   The main-
tenance is conducted during Unit  outages unless the opacity meters read

-------
>20% as a result of the problem, then a priority is  placed  on  the
maintenance for immediate repair.   When a wire in an ESP  is grounded,  a
load reduction is scheduled, usually within a week,  and the wire is
removed.

     The internal inspections on the Unit 3 and 4 ESP's did not reveal
any severe mechanical problems such as misaligned electrodes,  warped
plates, corroded internals, etc.  The Company personnel conducted  the
inspection in a knowledgeable and thorough manner.
SCRUBBER EVALUATION

     Wet scrubbers were installed on Units 1, 3 and 4 to supplement
particulate control of the existing mechanical collectors and electro-
static precipitators.  The scrubbers are Turbulent Contact Absorbers
(TCA) designed by Universal Oil Products, Air Correction Division.  PSCC
incorporated significant improvements in the Unit 4 scrubbers after in-
stalling Unit 1 and 3 scrubbers.  These included indirect reheat, in-
dividual scrubber booster fans for each scrubber section, three re-
circulating slurry pumps per scrubber section, and weather enclosures.
Unit 4 is also operated so that at least one scrubber section is always
available as a spare.  Units 1 and 3 have scrubber sections with only
one recirculating slurry pump, and operate without spare scrubber sections,
The effect of these improvements has been that Unit 4 normally meets the
opacity regulation and with better reliability than Units 1 and 3.

     PSCC is required by Colorado regulations to report air pollution
control equipment upsets.  Although the availability of previous upset
data was limited, some generalizations on scrubber upsets can be made.
Scrubber availabilities, i.e.  scrubber operating time as a percentage of
boiler operating time, from startup date to May 1977 were:  Unit 1
(65%), Unit 3 (63%) and Unit 4 (84%).  The major areas of malfunction
for the Unit 1 and 3 scrubbers, in approximate order of importance are

-------
the in-line reheaters, scrubber internals,  recirculating  slurry  system,
and recirculating slurry pumps.  Most of the  Unit  4 scrubber  upsets  were
caused by the scrubber booster fans.   The differences  in  scrubber  avail-
abilities and major problem areas between units are mainly due to  the
differences in the scrubber system design.

     To further document existing scrubber  conditions  a thorough inter-
nal inspection was made of the Unit 3 scrubber during  a scrubber outage
in August 1977.  Numerous problems were observed in the inspection,  in-
cluding:  large accumulations of solids in  the presaturator,  poor mobile
ball distribution, numerous plugged recirculating slurry nozzles,  and
extensive corrosion in the outlet ductwork.  Many of these deficiencies
would result in reduced particulate removal and create the possibility
of exceeding particulate regulations.  In addition, it was observed  that
scrubber instrumentation data taken prior to the inspection may  not
adequately indicate problems such as solids deposits,  ball migration,  or
pluggage of recirculating slurry nozzles.  Therefore,  it appears that
the scrubbers could be operated at reduced  particulate removal before
the need for scrubber internal repairs was  recognized.

     An evaluation of the performance of the scrubbers was made from
operating data accumulated in previous tests and during the in-plant
inspections.  Based on visible emission observations, stack tests, and
particulate removal efficiency results, the scrubbers on all  units are
capable of meeting particulate regulations, however, they do not meet
these standards on a continuous basis.  This is due in part to the
fact that scrubbers are frequently operated at higher-than-design gas
velocities, at low pressure drops indicative of gas channeling, and
with low liquid flow rates.

     Effects of operation outside of design conditions are difficult to
quantify but can  be discussed  in qualitative terms.  At high gas ve-
locities,  increased liquid entrainment and overall  particulate emissions

-------
can be expected.   When gas channeling is  occurring,  the  scrubbers'
particulate removal efficiency is reduced,  which will  result in  in-
creased participate emissions.  Low liquid  flows are especially  sig-
nificant when the only recirculating slurry pump in  a single-pump
scrubber section is out of service.  Continued operation without re-
circulating slurry drastically reduces particulate removal  and can
damage scrubber internals.  It is expected  that the  opacity standard  is
more stringent than the process weight standard and  that maintaining
consistent compliance with the opacity standard will require operating
closer-to-design requirements.

     With minor exceptions, the thoroughness of scrubber maintenance
appeared acceptable.  Company personnel conducted  the scrubber inspec-
tions in a knowledgeable and thorough manner, and  the required repairs
appeared to be adequately carried out.  However, the frequency of
maintenance {for Unit 1 and 3 scrubbers)  depends to a major degree on
operation of the boilers.  Since scrubber instrumentation may not re-
liably indicate internal scrubber problems, limited maintenance fre-
quency could result in scrubbers operating under conditions where
particulate removal is low and standards are not being met.  Furthermore,
it  is expected that the frequency of maintenance required to keep the
scrubbers in good  operating condition will  vary with the type of coal
being burned, the  operation of the boiler, and the effectiveness of the
gas conditioning system.  It would be difficult to define an optimum
maintenance schedule.

     Based on the  upset reports  and equipment inspections, the following
areas account for  major operating  problems in the scrubbers:  breakage
and migration of mobile ball  contactors; malfunctions with the guillo-
tine dampers, recirculation pumps, reheater sections, recirculation
piping and nozzles, scrubber  booster fans, and mist eliminators; pre-
saturator buildup; weather related problems; and outlet ductwork.  It is
difficult to evaluate the exact  impact of  each  of these since many are

-------
10
 interrelated or one can affect  another.   It  is  important  to  note,
 however,  that most of these  problems  have existed  from startup and, so
 far, the  Company's attempts  to  eliminate  them have met with little
 success.   Furthermore, the Company's  ongoing efforts will  probably have
 minimal  effect on increasing scrubber reliability.


 OPACITY METERS EVALUATION

      Daily operation and maintenance  for  all the opacity  meters  follow
 manufacturers' recommendations.  However, even  with proper operation  and
 maintenance, the Bailey Bolometers on Units  1,  2 and 3 were out  of
 calibration because the span was foreshortened  on  all three meters.   In
 addition, these meters are not  reading exit  stack  opacities because of
 the path  length difference at the meter and  at  the stack  exit.

      The  Lear-Siegler meter  on  Unit 4 was not calibrated  by NEIC, but
 the meter readings compared  closely to the stack opacity  readings.

      The  recording and reporting of excursions  over the  20% limit of  the
 Colorado  regulation is hampered by having opacity  meter  readings that do
 not reflect stack exit opacities.  Any reliability requirement for  the
 particulate control equipment depends on  accurate  operation of the
 opacity meters to read stack exit opacities  and detailed  reporting
 requirements and record keeping by PSCC and  the control  agencies in-
 volved.
 VISIBLE EMISSION OBSERVATIONS

      The Colorado Air Pollution Control Regulation No.  I.A.I  requires
 that no person shall emit an air contaminant in excess  of 20% opacity.
 An upset condition is defined as an impredictable equipment failure or

-------
                                                                     n
malfunction which results in the violation of an emission control
regulation, and which is not due to improper or careless  operation.
Upset conditions are deemed not to be in violation of these regulations
if immediately reported to the State Air Pollution Control Division.

     VEO's were taken during the July - August evaluation period with
additional observations taken in October 1977.

     The NEIC procedure used in all observations made in  July and August
was as follows:  A member of the Process Control Branch entered the plant
and recorded the operation of the equipment before and after a VEO was
taken.  A member of the Field Operations Branch would take a VEO following
Method 9 from a location outside the plant's property at a scheduled
time established in advance with the Process Control member.

     Of the 92 VEO's taken for a period of 6 minutes or more, 51 were
recorded in excess of 20% average opacity.  There were 1,374 individual
readings (a reading is taken every 15 seconds during a VEO), taken
during the 51 observations of which 1,135 (83%) exceeded 20% opacity,
the limit prescribed by the Colorado Air Pollution Control Regulations.
Of the readings in excess of 20%, 605 were recorded on the Unit 1 and 2
stack, 334 on the Unit 3 stack and 196 on the Unit 4 stack.  Although
the fewest observations were made on the Unit 3 stack, most of the
readings were in excess of 20% opacity because the scrubber was not
operating during the entire period of the evaluation.

     Of the 1,135 readings greater than 20% opacity, 727 readings were
taken during equipment failures in the particulate control system.

     Information reported in PSCC upset reports has shown violations
of the 20% opacity standards (as measured by the opacity meters) due to
ESP malfunctions.  Since these violations occurred when the scrubber
was in survice, it must be concluded that the scrubber outlet particulate

-------
12
 loading  can  exceed  standards even when the scrubber is not in an upset
 condition.   Therefore,  it  is important that the mechanical collector/ESP
 efficiency be  improved  and maintained at optimum conditions.  Operation
 of the ESP's at  40  to 60%  efficiency is not acceptable.
 RELIABILITY

      Based on visible  emission  observations and Company stack tests, the
 particulate  control  system appears  to be able to meet SIP particulate
 regulations.   The problem is  one  of how consistently the particulate
 control  system can meet these regulations.  Numerous improvements
 should be investigated to improve the reliability of the particulate
 control  equipment at Cherokee Station.

      The particulate removal  performance of the scrubbers will vary with
 gas velocity, liquid flowrate,  inlet particulate loading, gas flow
 imbalances,  etc.   For  those units with scrubbers, improving  the collec-
 tion efficiency of the ESP's  would  reduce  the inlet grain loading to
 the scrubbers, thus  reducing  the  solids accumulation, fly ash erosion,
 and required particulate removal  in the scrubbers. Potential areas of
 improvement  in the existing electrostatic  precipitators include up-
 grading the  gas conditioning  system, upgrading the automatic control
 system, adding more  electrical  sections, and adding more collecting
 plate area.   Of immediate concern,  the efficiency of the ESP's should
 be optimized, including upgrading the gas  conditioning system and per-
 forming ESP  efficiency tests.  This would  indicate if further improve-
 ments are necessary, such as  upgrading the automatic controls, or adding
 electrical sections.

      There are several potential  areas for improving reliability in  the
 scrubber system:   adding spare  scrubber capacity, replacing  direct
 reheaters with indirect reheaters,  adding  spare recirculating slurry

-------
                                                                       13
pumps, and providing weather enclosures.   These changes can be evaluated
and adopted with minimal preliminary study.  Further improvements can be
made to the scrubber packing and mist eliminators; however, these would
probably require significant modifications, such as using stationary
packing, two-stage mist eliminators, or vertically positioned mist
eliminators.  These modifications would also require lengthy research
and development efforts for successful application.  Finally, reliability
can be improved by more frequent inspection and repair of the Unit 1 and
3 scrubbers.  But, how practical this approach is for a base-loaded
plant with a limited natural gas supply is questionable.

     An alternative to upgrading the existing ESP's and scrubbers would
be to replace them with more efficient ESP's (+99% efficiency) or to
replace the scrubbers with baghouses.

     The areas of potential improvement of the particulate collection
system for each unit at Cherokee are summarized in Table 1.  The final
means of improving reliability will be specific to each unit and will
depend on the reliability at which the particulate control equipment is
required to operate.  Economics and the use of proper techniques to
compare reliability improvement alternatives must be considered.

                         III.   RECOMMENDATIONS
ADMINISTRATIVE

     It is recommended that responsible regulatory agencies convey to
PSCC an acceptable "percent reliability," i.e. a required percentage of
boiler on-line time that the particulate control equipment is operating
and meeting particulate regulations.

     Public Service Company of Colorado should then be required to
conduct a reliability study.  Preferably, the Company should consider
having a reliability analysis performed by an outside consultant ac-
ceptable to the regulatory agencies.  From this study and control alter-
natives evaluated by PSCC, a control plan should be developed by PSCC
for review and approval of the appropriate control agencies.


TECHNICAL

     In order to monitor compliance with the regulations, it is recommended
that the opacity meters be operated and maintained to indicate exit
stack opacities and that any readings >20% opacity be reported to the
control agencies.  This will require that the Bailey meter readings must
be calibrated and the readings adjusted to relate the opacities to the
different path lengths associated with each stack.  The Bailey meters
should be calibrated using an opacity plate or filter in the 40% opacity
range.  As an alternative, the meters could be replaced with more up-to-
date equipment that can be calibrated to read and automatically record
the stack exit opacities.

-------
16
     The monitoring controls for the Sulfan system are  limited and
should be upgraded, as a minimum, to monitor SQg  flow to  each ESP.
Additionally, a gas conditioning system should  be added to  Unit  3 and
measures should be taken to prevent pluggage in the gas conditioning
lines.  Further technical recommendations for improving paniculate
control equipment reliability will depend on the  results  of the
reliability study in which alternatives will be rated according  to
cost, impact, and degree of expected improvement  to the overall  system
reliability.

                        IV.   PLANT DESCRIPTION
     The Cherokee Station powerplant is  owned  and  operated  by  the  Public
Service Company of Colorado, a privately owned utility.   It is a base-
loaded installation with a normal  operating schedule of  24  hr/day, 7
days/week, 52 weeks/year.  The plant consists  of four primary  gas-
and/or coal-fired units and two diesel-fired peaking units.  Unit  1
began commercial operation in 1957, Unit 2 in  1959,  Unit 3  in  1962 and
Unit 4 in 1968.  A general layout of the plant is  shown  in  Figure  1.


COAL SUPPLY

     The Cherokee Station currently receives coal  from two  primary
sources -- the Energy Reserves Mine in Colorado and  the  Rosebud Mine  in
Wyoming.   Representative analyses of the coal from  these sources  is
shown as follows:

Rosebud Mine                      Not available
The coal is delivered to the plant by train and stored in 30- to 90-
day storage piles.  Although less than 0.1% of the coal used at Cherokee
Station during 1976 was from the Rosebud Mine, it is anticipated that
more Rosebud coal could be used in the future and that at any given
time the plant would burn coal from either source.

     Coal is conveyed to each unit by conveyor belts.   The coal  is
transferred first to crusher houses (one for Units  1-3 and one for  Unit
4), and then to coal silos which feed the individual  pulverizers for
each unit.  Coal samples are withdrawn from the conveyor belts upstream
of the silos.  During this investigation, typical  coal values were  (as
measured by weight) 8.86% moisture, 9.73% ash, 0.53% sulfur, and 2.52 x
107 J/kg (10,840 Btu/lb) heating value.

     The coal is routed from the coal silos through counters that weigh
the coal fed to the pulverziers.  Each Unit is equipped with Riley
Stoker Corporation pulverizers that reduce the coal to <50 mesh.  From
the pulverizer, primary combustion air conveys the coal to the combus-
tion zone of the steam generators.  Here it is mixed with secondary air
and burned to produce superheated steam which drives the turbine-generators,
STEAM GENERATING UNITS

     The four primary steam generating units are balanced draft, radiant-
type boilers that burn pulverized coal as the primary fuel.  Design
parameters for the Units are listed in Table 2.


PARTICULATE CONTROL SYSTEM

     After exiting the air preheater section of the boilers, the flue
gas is mixed with a gas conditioning agent, SO.,.  The SO, is injected
into the gas stream to improve the collection efficiency of the electro-
static precipitators.  As indicated in the flow diagram [Figure 2], the
gas conditioning system for Unit 3 is not in operation.

     The conditioned flue gases are treated by the particulate control
system shown in Figure 2.  For Units 1, 3, and 4, the system consists of

 mechanical collectors, electrostatic precipitators, and a turbulent
 contact absorber (TCA).  For Unit 2, the system consists of a mechanical
 collector and an upgraded electrostatic precipitator.  From the parti-
 culate control system, the cleaned flue gases are ducted to stacks for
 release to the atmosphere.  Units 1 and 2 are ducted to a common stack,
 and Units 3 and 4 are ducted to individual stacks.  The scrubbers on
 Units 1, 3 and 4 can be bypassed so that gas is ducted directly from
 the respective precipitators to the stack.

-------
                    V.   ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS
     All of the electrostatic precipitators (ESP's)  are followed  by TCA
scrubbers except for the Unit 2 ESP which exhausts directly to the
common stack for Units 1 and 2.  The ESP's installed at Cherokee  are
cold-side precipitators installed between 1964 and 1968.   The ESP's are
all preceded by a mechanical collector that precleans the flue gas
before entering the precipitators.

     The fly ash collected in the ESP hoppers is pneumatically conveyed
to ash collecting silos and then hauled off the site by a private con-
tractor for disposal.

     ESP operation and control are monitored on the ESP control panels.
Metering is provided to monitor primary and secondary voltage, primary
and secondary current, and spark rate.  The power input to the ESP can
be automatically or manually controlled.  In the automatic mode,  the
power input is controlled by saturable core reactors that monitor the
spark rate and decrease the applied voltage during excessive sparking or
increase the voltage in the absence of sparking.  Optimum applied
voltage levels occur at a level where sparking is less than 100 sparks
per minute.
DESIGN
Unit 1 ESP

     The electrostatic precipitator manufactured by Western Precipi-
tation Division of Joy Manufacturing Company was installed in 1965.  The
two-chamber, two-field precipitator is designed to handle a gas flow of

-------
24
229 m3/sec (485,000 ft3/min) at 140ฐC (285ฐF).   The approximate di-
mensions of the active collection area for the  ESP are shown in Figure
3.  The ESP has two electrical fields, A and B, each powered by one
transformer-rectifier (T-R) set which is energized and controlled from
control panels in the ESP control room.

     The flue gas enters the ESP through plenum chambers connected to
the outlet of the mechanical collectors.  The original gas distribution
pans at the inlet of each chamber were modified in 1974 by adding a 40%
open perforated plate with horizontal and vertical spoilers for proper
gas distribution.  The collecting surfaces in each field are vertically
hung steel plate panels.  The panels are hung parallel to each other
with the surface of the panel parallel to the gas flow.  The gas passage
space between the plates is 23 cm (9 in).  The  discharge elements (stain-
less steel wire electrodes) are hung in the center of the gas passage
from a steel framework that prevents horizontal movement of the wires.
The general design parameters for the ESP are given in Table 3.
Unit 2 ESP

     The ESP for Unit 2 was manufactured by Research-Cottrell, Inc. and
was installed in 1968.  The precipitator was modified in 1976 by split-
ting the electrical sections in half and adding three transformer-
rectifier sets rated at 35 kVa each.  These new T-R sets and controls
were manufactured by Buell Emission Control, Division of Envirotech
Corporation.  This modification increased the number of fields from 2 to
3 and increased the precipitator design efficiency from 90 to 94%.  The
approximate dimensions of the active collection area are shown in
Figure 4.

     The precipitator has two chambers and three electrical fields, A,

 flue gas at 143ฐC (290ฐF).   Each inlet section  of the  two  chambers
 consists of 37 gas passage ducts which are 23 cm (9  in) wide,  9 m  (30
 ft) high, and 3 m (9 ft)  long.   The remaining sections are 23  cm  (9  in)
 wide, 9 m (30 ft) high, and 2 m (6 ft) long.  The flue gas is  precleaned
 by a mechanical collector,  then enters the inlet flue  for  each chamber.
 For uniform gas distribution, the inlet duct for each  chamber  is equipped
 with turning vanes and perforated distribution  plates.  The treated  flue
 gases are ducted directly to the stack servicing both  Units 1  and  2.
 Table 4 contains the general design parameters  for the Unit 2  ESP.


 Unit 3 ESP

      The ESP for Unit 3,  manufactured by Western Precipitation Division
 of Joy Manufacturing Company,-was installed in  1964.   The  two-chamber,
 two-field precipitator is designed to handle a  gas flow of 257 m /sec
 (545,000 ft3/min) at 133ฐC (272ฐF).  The approximate dimensions of the
 active collection area for the  ESP are shown in Figure 5.   The Unit  3
 ESP is similar to the ESP on Unit 1 with two electrical fields, A  and
 B.  One transformer-rectifier set provides the  power for each  field  and
 is monitored and operated from control panels adjacent to  the  main-
 tenance offices.  Each of the inlet sections consists  of 34 gas passage
 ducts which are 23 cm (9 in) wide, 7.3 m (24 ft) high, and 3 m (9  ft)
 long; the outlet sections have the same dimensions.  The flue  gas  is
 precleaned by mechanical  collectors, then enters the inlet flue for  each
 chamber which is equipped with a perforated plate of 44% open  area for
 uniform gas distribution.  The general design parameters for the Unit 3
 ESP are given in Table 5.
 Unit 4 ESP
      The Unit 4 ESP, manufactured by Koppers Company, Inc., was in-
                                                          o

 The approximate dimensions of the active collection area for the ESP
 are shown in Figure 6.  The one-chamber, two-field precipitator is
 powered by four transformer-rectifier sets.  After being precleaned,
 the flue gas enters the inlet sections of the ESP which consist of 78
 gas passage ducts  25 cm (10 in) wide, 3 m (9 ft) long, and 9.9 m
 (32 ft) high; the  outlet sections have the same dimensions.  The fly
 ash is handled dry and collected in the #4 Ash Collecting Silo.  Table 6
 contains the general design parameters for the Unit 4 ESP.


 OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

     The operation and control of the ESP's are monitored on the ESP
 control panels.  Metering is provided to monitor primary and secondary
 voltage, primary and secondary current and spark rate.  The power inputs
 to  the ESP's can be automatically or manually controlled.  The ESP's
 are tuned every day during the normal five-day work week.  As part of
 the adjustment, an electrician checks the meters which monitor current,
 voltage and spark  rate.  Both the value of the meter readings and the
 fluctuation of those readings are observed.  If any "abnormal" readings
 were observed, corrective action or adjustments would be made to the
 Sulfan system, and/or  to the set points for the automatic controls, etc.
 During discussions with Company representatives, specific values of
 normal conditions  or abnormal conditions were not  identified.  A Company
 representative  indicated that "by experience" they knew what was
 "abnormal."  No data  is recorded by the electricians, however, a strip
 chart  continuously records the  precipitator (secondary) current.

     Besides the daily checks,  the  powerplant operator has  ground and
 trip alarms  to  indicate  problems.  An electrician  is assigned to periodi-
 cally  check  the meter  readings  to minimize the  tripping-out of sections.

     Maintenance practices for the ESP's  and  mechanical  collectors  are
essentially performed on an as-needed basis.   When  a  grounded wire  in
the ESP is indicated, a load reduction is scheduled,  usually within a
week, and the wire is removed (note:  on Unit  2,  if  the shorted  wire
causes an opacity reading of >20% on  the  opacity meter,  immediate action
is taken).  For ESP problems noted during Unit operation that do not
cause opacity of >20%, a Station Service  Request (SSR) is originated.
An SSR is a request to maintenance that indicates an  equipment  problem
that needs to be checked and repaired during  the next shutdown.  The
mechanical collectors are monitored by reading the  differential pressure
across the collectors.  A high reading would  indicate pluggage.

     The bulk of the maintenance on both the  ESP's  and mechanical
collectors is conducted during unit outages.   For the ESP's, this con-
sists of an inspection and cleaning, if so indicated.  Cleaning is
accomplished by a combination of vacuuming, scraping  and water  washing.
The mechanicals are  inspected during minor and major unit outages.   If
pluggage has occurred, the collector is cleaned by routing out  with
poles and/or air lances.  Areas of collector found to be excessively
worn are also replaced at this time.


PHYSICAL  INSPECTIONS

     An  internal inspection  of the Unit 3 electrostatic  precipitator was
conducted  by EPA and Company personnel on August 14,  1977.  The  in-
spection was conducted from  the top  of the collection plates and from a
walkway  located just above  the hoppers between  the first and second
fields.  The following observations  were made.

-------
36
 Unit  3  ESP

 Discharge Electrodes

      Some of  the discharge electrodes  (approximately 2 to 5%) had a
 whisker-like  buildup  of ash over a significant length of the wire.  The
 buildup in  some cases reached  thicknesses of up to 1 cm.  This was not
 considered  a  major  problem because of  the number involved, but would
 indicate that specific discharge electrode rappers needed to be checked
 for proper  operation.  The electrode alignment was good as most electrodes
 were straight and centered in  the gas  passages.
 Collection Plates

      The collection plates  were  also  straight,  properly  spaced and  had
 no signs of warpage.   The dust deposits  on  the  plates did  not appear  ex-
 cessive (<1 cm).   Most of the dust  present  on the  plates could be dis-
 lodged with gentle tapping.
 Hoppers

      The hoppers were clean and there was  no indication  of  dust  buildup.
 Corrosion of the hopper walls was not observed.
 Other
      The perforated plate, flow distribution device had no significant
 (>1 cm) solids deposits.  The insulators were not closely inspected,
 but significant (>3 cm) ash buildup was not seen.  Company personnel
 conducted the inspection in a knowledgeable and thorough manner.

                                                                     37
Unit 4 ESP

     The internals of the Unit 4 electrostatic  precipitator were in-
spected on August 24, 1977.   The inspection was conducted from the top
of the collection plates and from a walkway located just above the
hoppers betv/een the front half and back half of the ESP.   The following
observations were made.
Discharge Electrodes

     Some of the discharge electrodes (approximately .2 to 5%)  had a
whisker-like buildup of ash over a significant length (8 to 10 ft) of
the wire.  The buildup in some cases reached thicknesses of up to 1 cm.
The whisker deposits were easily dislodged by tapping, indicating that
the operation of the discharge electrode vibrators could be improved.
The electrodes were observed to be straight, hung evenly and centered in
the gas passages.  There did not appear to be many missing wires.
Collection Plates

     The alignment of the collection plates appeared satisfactory with
little or no noticeable warpage.  There was one section (approximately
   p
1 m ) of one plate which was warped to the point of touching an adjacent
plate.  This may have been initiated by corrosion of the plate.  Overall,
however, corrosion of collector plates did not appear to be a problem.
There were very few large (>2 cm) ash buildups on the collector plates
but, in general, it was found that more ash was sticking to the plates
on the north half than on the south half.  In addition, some of the
deposits on the north half of the ESP tenaciously clung to the plates
and formed very hard deposits.  These may have been due to more predomi-
nant CaSO. formation at these locations caused by reaction of SO., with
CaO present in the ash.

-------
38
Other
     The hoppers were clean with no signs of corrosion or dust buildup
that would interfere with precipitator operation.   The inlet flow per-
forated plate showed no signs of dust accumulation.   The insulators  were
not inspected.  Company personnel conducting the inspection were knowl-
edgeable and thorough in their procedures.
SULFAN SYSTEM

     The high resistivity ash associated with low-sulfur western coal
severely limits the performance of an ESP by limiting the voltage and
current at which the ESP operates.  The purpose of the Sulfan system is
to provide sulfur trioxide (SO-) for mixing with the powerplant fly ash
particles.  The S03 conditions the surface of the fly ash particles by
increasing the surface conductivity and, thus, reducing the ash resis-
tivity.  This improves the collection of the fly ash particles by in-
creasing the current density and voltages at which the ESP can operate.

     The Sulfan system presently is installed on Units 1, 2 and 4 and
was initially put in operation in June 1971.  It consists of a heated
tank, piping and manual control valves through which the SO., is trans-
ferred to each unit, a nozzle distribution system injects SO^ into the
individual gas streams.  A diagram of the Sulfan system is shown in
Figure 7.
                                                                3
     The Sulfan system is designed to provide a maximum of 0.9 m /min
      o
(32 ft /min) of SO.,.  This should result in a SO., concentration in the
powerplant offgas of about 20 ppmv, assuming design gas rates inputs
to the ESP's and appropriate distribution of SO, to each unit.  The
actual injection rate is controlled by the temperature maintained in the
Sulfan tank by an external heat source.  The amount of SOg used is

meter recording SO- flow rate to the Unit 4 ESP but no flow rate indi-

cator exists for the other ESP's.
     The SOg flow is not normally adjusted unless an ESP problem is
indicated such as excessive sparking.  When current/voltage inputs to
the ESP are low, the first consideration is to further open the valve
controlling the S03 to the individual ESP unit.  If this does not im-
prove the power input, the spark rate control is adjusted.  Additional
adjustments are based on specific problems indicated by the ESP in-
strumentation.

     The monitoring controls for the Sulfan system are very limited and
the amount of S03 injected to each unit could not be determined.  Knowing
how much S03 flows to the ESP's is critical to the proper operation of
the Sulfan system and the ESP's.  Without SO., flow data, the Sulfan
system could not be evaluated and the effect of the gas conditioning
system on ESP operation was only speculative.  No test results were
available to determine the effectiveness of the gas conditioning system.


ESP OPERATING DATA AND EVALUATION

     To evaluate the operation of the precipitators, the electrical
operating levels of the ESP's were monitored periodically during the
entire study period.  The electrical parameters monitored were primary
and secondary voltage, primary and secondary current and spark rate.
From these readings the power levels in and out of the rectifier sets
were calculated along with the power efficiencies and current densities
for each electrical section.  These calculations are contained in
 *  The Unit 4 flow meter was not in operation during the investigation as
   a result of pluggage difficulties.  In September 19771 the Company
   installed a heat  Icrrp to remedy this problem.

-------
Appendix C and are summarized in Table 7.   Table 8  compares  the  normal
operating conditions to the conditions that were observed  during the
study period.  The normal  operating conditions  were provided by  PSCC.
These values are for normal operation at full  load  and  100%  coal.
During the period of the study, Unit 1 was operated on  100%  coal,  Unit
2 on 75% coal, Unit 3 on 25 to 75% coal and Unit 4  on 100% coa'l.
Unit 1 ESP

     The electrical operating data indicates that the Unit 1  ESP was
operating at lower power inputs than the ESP's on the other units.
Although the voltages and currents were in the normal operating ranges,
the majority of the values were at the lower end of the scale,  also
indicating low power inputs.  The spark rate for the Unit 1 ESP is  nor-
mally 100 to 150 sparks per minute (spm), but was observed to be greater
than 200 spm for the majority of the time.  Because of this condition,
the automatic controls appeared to be spark rate limited, causing the
low power inputs.  The high spark rate and low power indicate unstable
electrical conditions in the precipitator.  One possible explanation
could be the failure of the Sulfan system to adequately condition the
flue gas.  The lines or nozzles could have been plugged, but this could
not be determined since metering was not available to monitor the SO-
flow.  Before further evaluation of the power inputs can be made, the
Sulfan system needs to be upgraded to monitor flow so that the levels of
gas conditioning needed for maximum power input to the precipitator can
be determined.

     At various times during the study, the secondary current was ab-
normally low with no spark rate indication.  Probable cause could be
misadjustment of current and/or voltage limit controls.  This condition
was usually corrected by the next day and the exact cause of the problem
could not be identified.

     Under normal  conditions,  the inlet  sections  {A  sections)  are
usually operated at lower current densities  due to space  charge  effect
and higher particulate concentrations.   However,  the data taken  during
the study period [Appendix A]  showed  that the  outlet sections  (B sections)
operated at much lower current densities than  the inlet sections.   From
this observation,  it appears that the outlet sections could  be operated
at even higher power levels once the  spark rate was  optimized, thus
increasing efficiency.  It could also be inferred that the S03 injection
is too low, since this would effect current densities. However, this is
only speculative since the S(L rates  were not  monitored.   Once the  SCL
rate can be monitored, the effect of  increasing the  S03 rate on  current
densities should be investigated.
Unit 2 ESP

     In 1976, the electrical sections of this precipitator were split in
half and new lower-rated T-R sets were added for greater sectional-
ization with an estimated increase in efficiency from 90 to 94%.   The
added sets and controls were manufactured by Buell and were rated lower
than the original T-R sets.  The new lower rated sets were placed on the
northside of the ESP to energize cells 1 and 2 and the original T-R sets
were placed on the southside to power cells 3 and 4.   Convenience and
the ease of installation dictated arranging the T-R sets in this  manner.
Normally when mixing different rated T-R sets, the best arrangement
would be to place the higher rated units at the outlet fields because
they can handle higher current densities, thus improving the collection
efficiency of the precipitator.  Placing the lower rated sets on one
side of the ESP would probably lower the overall efficiency since half
of the precipitator is operating at lower power inputs and current
densities.

-------
     The electrical  operating data monitored  during  the  study  period
showed this condition to exist in the precipitator.   One side  of the
precipitator, cells 1 and 2, had very low power  inputs,  power  efficien-
cies, and current densities when compared to  the cells 3 and 4.   This
condition was consistent in each field (A, B  and C)  of the precipitator.
Although the lower power inputs and current densities were expected,  the
magnitude of the difference was not expected. A possible explanation  of
this would be severe flow and participate loading imbalances in  the
two sides of the precipitator.  In addition,  the voltage and current
limiting controls should be checked for misadjustment.

     It was also noted that the power efficiencies of the T-R  sets for
cells 1 and 2 had lower calculated power efficiencies than the T-R sets
on cells 3 and 4.  Assuming the meter readings are accurate, the opera-
tion of the T-R sets should also be checked,  since the arrangement of
the T-R sets should not affect the power efficiencies of the sets.

     The power levels, power efficiencies and current densities  for
cells 3 and 4 are within the normal operating ranges for the  precipitator
and are higher than the other Cherokee precipitators. The power levels,
power efficiencies, and current densities for cells 1 and 2 are  lower
than the normal operating ranges.  As previously discussed, the  cause
of this problem was not apparent.  The current densities for  the outlet
sections are higher than the inlet sections,  even for the low  powered
cells 1 and 2 as would be expected.
Unit 3 ESP

     Unit 3 boiler was operated on varying amounts of coal for the
first half of the study period because the scrubber was down for
major maintenance.  The entire unit was down for its annual outage
(maintenance) during the last half of the study period.  Although the

-------
46
 ESP was  operating while  the boiler was on-line, the data collected
 could  not  be  evaluated because the power efficiencies of the T-R sets
 were greater  than one in most cases and the exact cause of the problem
 could  not  be  identified.  The meter readings are suspect, therefore,
 further  analysis of  the  data was not done.


 Unit 4 ESP

     Analysis of the electrical operating data  indicated that cells -1
 and 2  of the  precipitator were operating at lower power levels than the
 3 and  4-cells.  This is  the same situation that was found in the Unit 1
 ESP, although not as severe.  Possible cause of this  problem could be
 imbalances in gas flow and/or particulate loadings.   Since this ESP
 is only  a  one-chamber precipitator, this condition  is not as likely to
 occur  as may  be the  case with the Unit 1 precipitator, which has two
 chambers.   For the cells 3 and 4, the outlet sections (B3 and B4) had
 lower  current densities  than the inlet sections {A3 and A4), which
 indicates  that the B3 and B4 sections could be  operated at higher power
 inputs.  For  the other side of the precipitator (cells 1 and 2), the
 current  densities were,  as expected, higher for the outlet sections.
 Although secondary currents were high, the actual- current densities
 were relatively low; that would cause a drop in particulate collection
 efficiency.   For example, the ESP on Unit 2 had secondary currents
 around 500 mA with current densities about 40 uA/ft2  while the Unit 4
 secondary  currents were  around 700 mA, and the  current densities were
               2
 about  15 pA/ft .  Because the secondary currents are  operating at
 relatively high levels,  the power input cannot  be adjusted to signifi-
 cantly improve the current densities.  The most probable way of in-
 creasing the  current density would be to add more T-R sets and increase
 the sectionalization of  the precipitator.

                                                                      47
     PSCC is experimenting with full-wave and half-wave energization
on the Unit 4 ESP to improve its efficiency.   PSCC  indicated that
sections 4A1 and 4A2 were on full-wave rectification,  but an analysis
of the optimum voltage wave form was  not available  for review.

     Use of full-wave energization for the collection  of high resistivity
dust is not typical because full-wave energization  is  electrically more
unstable than half-wave energization.  Half-wave energization produces
longer decay periods for the voltage  between  current pulses, thus
allowing ample time for sparks to extinguish.  For  high resistivity
dusts associated with low sulfur coal, which  is the case at Cherokee,
the optimum voltage wave form is usually with half-wave energization.

     There are times when combinations of half-wave and full-wave sets
are useful, but usually on precipitators with higher sectionalization,
i.e., >3 fields.  The usual arrangement is to have  the full-wave rec-
tifiers on the outlet sections of the precipitator.  The principle
involved is that the inlet sections have the  highest particle concentra-
tion and collection which means relatively high operating voltages but
low currents, while the outlet sections have  relatively clean gas which
means lower voltages and higher currents for  these  sections.

     The use of half-wave rectification for Units 1 and 3 should be
investigated by PSCC.  Units 2 and 4 are on half-wave rectification.
COMPARISON OF DESIGN PARAMETERS

     The design parameters for the ESP's at the Cherokee Station were
compared to the range of values typically found in fly ash precipitators
[Table9].  The values were compiled from precipitators with collection
efficiencies from 90 to 99%.  The design parameters for the Cherokee

precipitators are typical for the fly ash precipitators operating at
medium efficiencies (80 to 90%).  The specific collection electrode
area (SCA) is used to calculate theoretical collection efficiencies in
                     *
the Deutsch equation.   The specific collection electrode area is de-
fined as the collection electrode surface area divided by the gas flow
                                                             2
rate.  For design purposes the SCA is usually expressed in ft /I,000
acfm.  This term is used directly in the calculation of collection
efficiencies as previously shown in the Deutsch equation.  The SCA's for
the Cherokee precipitators are at the low range for fly ash precipitators,
Higher performance ESP's (99+%) are now being designed with SCA's of up
to  157 m2/m3/sec (800 ft2/103 ft3/min).  The SCA's for the Cherokee
precipitators are much lower and can only be increased by enlarging the
precipitator (i.e., increasing the collection electrode area).

     The aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of the effective length of
the gas passages to the height of the gas passages.  As the re-entrained
dust is carried forward by the flow of the gas, sufficient gas passage
length must be provided to prevent dust from being carried out of the
ESP before the dust reaches the dust collection hoppers.  If the aspect
ratio is too small, dust losses from re-entrainment will increase.
Higher performance ESP's usually have aspect ratios greater than 1.  As
shown in Table 9, all the Cherokee precipitators have aspect ratios less
than 1.

     Power consumption is another important design parameter that
affects the collection efficiency.  The ranges of corona power and cur-
rent density as compared in Table 8 show that the Cherokee precipitators
have lower power inputs than typical fly ash precipitators.  Precipita-
tors installed in the late 1960's were typically found to be undersized

*  Deutsch equation is n = 1-e    '     where n is the efficiency3 w
   is the migration velocity,  A is the collecting electrode surface
   area,  and V is the gas flow rate.  The precipitation rate parameter
   is considered equivalent to the performance migration velocity for
   actual operating data.

  especially for units  collecting  high resistivity ash.  This is the case
  for the precipitators installed  at Cherokee.  The Unit 2 ESP was up-
  graded  in 1976 by adding T-R  sets and  increasing the electrical sec-
  tionalization.  This  modification is reflected  in the power comparisons,
  where corona  power and current density are much larger than the other
  three precipitators.

       Electrical sectionalization and number of  fields is important in
  maintaining the collection  efficiency  near design.  This is especially
  true when sections are taken  out of service for broken corona wires or
  some other reason. If a precipitator  cell only had two fields and one
  field was out of  service, the efficiency of this cell would decrease by
  as  much as 30 to  50%.   However,  if there were three or four fields and
  one was taken out of  service, then the cell would probably lose less
  than 20 to 30% in collection  efficiency.

       Reviewing the design parameters,  it appears that the precipitators
  are undersized for efficient  collection (>90%)  but are typical for pre-
  cipitators that were  installed in the  late 1960's for collection effi-
  ciencies of 80 to 90%.

       More efficient precipitators have a higher degree of sectional-
  ization and a larger  number of fields.  The degree of sectionalization
  and number of fields  for three of the  Cherokee  precipitators are low
  when compared to  typical fly  ash precipitators.  The recent modification
  of  the  Unit 2 ESP increased the  degree of sectionalization and number of
  fields, thus  increasing its efficiency.
  ESP EFFICIENCY  TEST RESULTS

       In response to a  request  for  stack  test data,  PSCC submitted a
  summary of test results  performed  by  PSCC  on the  electrostatic pre-
  cipitators at Cherokee [Appendix D].

     Most of the data were outlet grain loadings only, but there were
efficiency tests done on the Units about five years ago.   These tests
are summarized as follows.

     +  Typical efficiencies were reported by PSCC, with the most
        frequently tested efficiency reported as typical.
     These test results indicate that the ESP's are operating well below
their design efficiencies.  More recent data indicates the same range of
outlet grain loadings as when these efficiency tests were done, there-
fore, these efficiencies are considered typical of the present ESP
efficiencies.
UPSET REPORTING

     As part of the upset reporting requirements, PSCC has reported
day-to-day malfunctions of the particulate control equipment to the
State of Colorado.  Prior to May 1975, the Company reported all equip-
ment outages of 24 hours or longer.  From May 1975 to April 1977, the
Company reported all major outages that occurred when the opacity was
greater than 20%.   As of May 1977, the Company reports only those
malfunctions which prevent all the flue gas from being treated in each
scrubber.  The data generated in these reports on ESP problems  is

summarized in Table 10.  Because of the limited amount of data on ESP's
only the data from July 1975 to May 1977 were summarized.  The avail-
abilities are relatively good except for Unit 3 where the major cause of
downtime was broken electrode wires.  A possible explanation would be
the lack of gas conditioning to this Unit.  The high resistivity ash,
with no gas conditioning, could cause excessive sparking at the elec-
trodes causing the wires to burn out.  If this happens, the section
would have to be taken out of service until the wire is removed or
replaced.

     The major upset problems associated with the ESP's are broken
electrode wires, but as discussed previously, they are immediately
removed or replaced if the opacity exceeds 20%.  An important obser-
vation was made from reviewing the upset reports.  There are times
when an ESP section or sections are down, with the scrubber operating
normally and the opacity exceeding 20%.  It is therefore, very important
that the ESP efficiencies are maintained and downtime minimized.

                            VI.   SCRUBBERS
DESIGN
     Turbulent Contact Absorber (TCA)  scrubbers were installed on
Cherokee Units 1, 3 and 4 to supplement control of particulate by the
electrostatic precipitators and mechanical  collectors on those units.
The TCA scrubbers were designed by Universal  Oil Products (UOP),  Air
Correction Division.  A drawing of the TCA scrubber is shown in Figure 8.

     Flue gas exiting from the precipitators  enters a scrubber booster
fan which discharges into the presaturator section of the scrubber.   In
this section, scrubber makeup water is sprayed into the gas, reducing
the temperature to approximately 52ฐC (125ฐF).  From the presaturator,
the gas enters the scrubber.

     Each scrubber consists of three stages of beds packed to a 15 cm
(6 in) depth with 5 gm balls (approximately 3 to 4 cm diameter).   The
mobile packing creates a high gas-side pressure drop across the scrubber
and provides liquor-to-gas contact for effective particulate removal.
The mobile spheres, when in constant action,  also tend to be self-
cleaning, thus reducing the potential for plugging.  By design, the
spheres remain mobile when liquor-to-gas flows balance each other.  As
a result, gas and liquor rate must be properly controlled within speci-
fied limits to insure scrubber effectiveness.  Gas velocities in the
scrubber should be maintained between 550 and 750 fmp.

     The scrubber liquor is pumped to spray headers located above the
packing in the top stage.  After being contacted with gas flowing up
through the scrubber, the scrubber liquor is collected in a hopper at
the bottom of the scrubber from where it is recirculated.  Slurry is

purged from the scrubber system to prevent buildup of  excessive  solids
in the recirculated liquor.   The slurry from the scrubber  is  pumped  to
an ash pond for disposal.

     The scrubbed gas passes through mist eliminator and reheater sec-
tions prior to being discharged through a stack.  The  mist eliminator
consists of a single section of chevron-type blades and is designed  to
remove entrained droplets carried over from the scrubber.   Deposits
which accumulate on the mist eliminator blade are washed off by inter-
mittently operated spray nozzles located above the mist eliminator.  -
After passing through the mist eliminator, the gas is heated by direct
in-line steam coils (Units 1 and 3) or by hot air injection (Unit 4).
The resulting gas is at a temperature which should prevent corrosion
of the stack and duct work and provide plume buoyancy.

     The design  specifications for  the scrubbers on Units 1, 3 and 4
are presented in Table  11.
 Unit  1
     A model  5600 TCA  scrubber was installed on Unit 1 in 1973.  It
 has  two  parallel sections:   section  1A handles 25% of the gas flow, and
 section  IB  handles  75% of  the flow.  The sections receive gas flow from
 two  common  parallel  scrubber booster fans but are designed to operate
 independently.   Section 1A has one recirculating slurry  pump (27,000
 1pm  or  7,000  gpm) while section  IB has three recirculating slurry pumps
 (80,000  1pm or  21,000  gpm).  The designed particle collection efficiency
 is 97.5% with three scrubbing stages and a  liquid-to-gas ratio  (L/G) of
 8.1  1/m3 (60  gal/1,000 ft3). Direct stack  gas reheat to 93ฐC  (200ฐF)
 is provided by  in-line steam coils arranged in two tube  bundles  equipped
 with soot blowers  to remove deposits from tube surfaces.

     Since its initial  operation in 1973,  the  TCA scrubber  on  Unit 1  has
undergone a number of modifications.   These include removing all  finned
tube steam reheat coils (1975),  installing additional  soot  blowers
(1974), replacing the original  Fiberglass  reinforced plastic  (FRP) mist
eliminators with stainless steel (1976), and adding turning vanes to  the
ESP outlet and scrubber inlet ductwork (1974).

     Future changes to the scrubber will depend on mist eliminator tests
being conducted for the Unit 3 scrubber.   A decision will  be made on
whether to replace all  of the mist eliminator  sections with a  newer
design or to expand present reheat capacity.
Unit 3
     A model 6700 TCA scrubber was installed on Unit 3 in 1975.  It has
three parallel sections:  sections 3A and 3C each handle 20% of the gas,
and section 3B handles the remaining 60%.  The sections receive gas flow
from two common parallel scrubber booster fans but are designed to
operate independently.  Section 3A and 3C each have one recirculating
slurry pump (19,000 1pm or 5,000 gpm) while section 3B has three recircu-
lating slurry pumps (57,000 1pm or 15,000 gpm).  Particle collection
efficiency is 93% with three scrubbing stages and an L/G of 7.4 1/m
(55 gal/1,000 ft3).  Direct stack reheat to 85ฐC (185ฐF) is provided by in-
line steam coils arranged in three tube bundles equipped with soot
blowers to remove deposits from tube surfaces.

     Since its initial operation in 1972, the TCA scrubber has gone
through a number of modifications.  These include replacing all finned
tube steam reheat coils with plain coils (1975-76), installing additional
soot blowers  (1973), and replacing the original FRP mist eliminators
with stainless steel (1977).  In August, 1977, the Company replaced the
stainless steel mist eliminators in Sections 3A and 3C with plastic
assemblies manufactured by Heil (Heilex Model EB-4) and Hunters (Euro-
form Model 271), respectively.  The Company will observe the mist removal

-------
60
efficiency of these assemblies and,  based upon the test outcome,  will
decide whether to replace all  of the mist eliminator sections  with  one
of these newer designs or to expand  present scrubber reheat  capacity.


Unit 4

     Four model 4200 TCA scrubbers were installed on Unit 4  in 1974.  The
scrubbers, designated as sections 4A, 4B, 4C,  and 4D, were each designed
to handle 25% of the gas flow.  Each section receives gas flow from an
individual scrubber booster fan.  There are three recirculating pumps
per section designed to provide a total recirculating flow of  80,000 1pm
(21,000 gpm).  The design particle collection  efficiency is  97% with
three scrubbing stages and an L/G of 8.3 1/m3  (62 gal/1,000  ft3).
Indirect stack gas reheat to 79ฐC (175ฐF) is provided by mixing the
scrubbed gas with heated ambient air in a venturi type mixing  chamber.

     Since its initial operation in  1974, the  Unit 4 TCA scrubber has
gone through a number of modifications.  These include adding  a second
reheat air fan to each scrubber reheat system  (1976) and installing
outlet damper purge air systems (1976).
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

     The operation of the scrubbers is, for the most part,  monitored
and controlled from panels located in the respective boiler unit control
rooms.  The data that is monitored is shown in Table 12.   The essential
areas of control are the gas flows, recirculating slurry,  mist elimina-
tors and reheaters.

     Normal scrubber operation requires all scrubber sections in service
on Units 1 and 3, and three of four sections in service on Unit 4.   When
one of the smaller sections of the scrubbers on Units 1 and 3 require

remaining scrubber sections.   If the larger scrubber section on  Units  1
or 3 is removed from service, part of the gas is bypassed to the stack.

     The gas flow to the scrubber is automatically controlled by main-
taining the inlet scrubber booster fan pressure to within proper limits
(e.g., -1.0 to -2.5 cm W.G.).  When the inlet pressure deviates  from
this range, the fan dampers are automatically adjusted accordingly.   No
attempt is made to shift scrubber sections in or out of service  during
increasing or decreasing load conditions.  When the booster fan  control
is unable to keep the fan inlet pressure within the proper range (a
situation which exists when there is a high pressure drop across the
scrubber) the stack bypass damper is activated and gas flow is bypassed
to the stack.  Pressure and pressure drop information are monitored  and
recorded once per shift.

     The rec'.rculating slurry flow is manually controlled by maintaining
the slurry pump motor amps within a predetermined operating range (e.g.,
11-16 amps for recirculating slurry pumps on Unit 4).  This is accomplished
by adjusting the slurry pump discharge valve.  No attempt is made to
vary the slurry flow with gas flow or unit load.  When the slurry pump
motor amps are low (out of the control range), the Company tries to  back-
flush the line.  If no improvement is noted, a Station Service Request
(SSR) is prepared to initiate proper corrective action.  When a  slurry
pump is taken out of service the affected scrubber section is not
removed from service.  In the case of scrubber sections 1A, 3A and 3C
which have one recirculating slurry pump each, the Company maintains a
limited flow of water in the section by running the mist eliminator  wash.

     The blowdown of recirculating slurry is dictated by the scrubber
water balance requirements.  During each shift, an operator takes a  sam-
ple of the slurry and measures settleable solids and pH.  If the settle-
able solids concentration is higher than is to be allowed (i.e.  3.0  weight
%), adjustments are -"'- *- +*!*ป fresh water inlet rate and/or an SSR is
initiated to check the drawoff lines and other potential trouble areas.

                                                                     63
     The operation of the mist eliminator wash  system varies  between
units.  On Units 1 and 3, a manual  wash system  has  been installed.  Once
each shift, an operator sequentially opens the  mist eliminator wash
header valves and each header is left on for two minutes.   On Unit  4,  an
automatic wash system sequentially operates each wash header  for a
period of three (3) minutes each shift.  The timing of the mist eliminator
wash system can be adjusted according to changes in operating conditions.

     The control of the reheat system is based  on maintaining the exit
gas temperature within proper limits.  The operator adjusts the set
point on a pressure control valve which supplies steam to the reheat
steam coils.  At full load conditions, the control  valves are set at
                               P
maximum design values [21 kg/cm  (300 psi) for  Units 1 and 3; 28-35
kg/cm2 (400-500 psi) for Unit 4].  At low loads, the operator reduces
the set point of the pressure control valve accordingly.

     Maintenance practices that are reported in effect for the TCA
scrubbers can be divided into two categores:  daily or routine inspection
checks conducted when the scrubbers are in operation; and major and/or
minor repairs conducted when the scrubber is taken out of service.
Moreover, the differences between the Unit 4 scrubbers and those on
Units 1 and 3 must also be recognized.  Since the Unit 4 scrubbers  are
operated with three of the four equal-size modules in service, it is
possible to rotate the operating modules every 3 to 4 months so that
frequent internal maintenance can be performed.  It is also possible  to
switch modules when one of the operating modules is performing poorly.
This approach is not possible on Units 1 and 3.

     Daily maintenance checks are performed on the slurry and recircula-
tion pumps.  These are checked for leaky packings, oil level, oil leaks,
abnormal noise and vibration.  Other pieces of equipment are monitored

-------
64
by Plant Operations and include data collected from instrument read-
outs.  When instrument values are outside of the appropriate range,
Operations personnel initiate a Station Service Request (SSR), which
details an equipment or instrument problem that is to be checked and
repaired by Maintenance.  Then, depending on the urgency of the SSR,
immediate action is taken or action is scheduled for the next scrubber
outage.

     The bulk of the scrubber maintenance work is conducted during major
or minor outages.  In this case, a major outage is defined as a boiler
unit outage exceeding four to six weeks, whereas a minor outage is any
other time the scrubber is brought out of service.  Besides repairing
SSR items, the scrubber is inspected for ball wear and pluggage by
solids.  The balls are inspected and weighed periodically.  If a repre-
sentative number of balls (100 balls) have lost more than 20% of the
weight of an equivalent number of new balls, then the balls are replaced
with new balls.  If there are a lot of broken balls or balls have migrated,
then new balls are added.  Solids pluggage is removed with a jackhammer,
by manual washing, or through chiseling by hand as required.  In general,
if anything is found during an inspection that reduces efficiency, i.e.,
ball migration or missing spray nozzles, repairs are made at that time.

     During a major outage, a complete overhaul program is undertaken.
The guillotine gates are inspected, shafts are repacked and any item
that is not working properly is repaired as time permits.  The reheat
coils (Units 1 and 3) are cleaned and tested for leaks.  The duct work
is inspected and cleaned.  The recirculation system is inspected for
wear, pluggage and failures.  The mist eliminators and mist eliminator
spray nozzles are inspected and cleaned.  The vertical dividers and grid
bars are inspected and repaired or replaced as necessary.  The pre-
saturator area and hoppers are cleaned and the pump screens are checked
and repaired.  The presaturator nozzles are inspected and replaced as

needed.  The scrubber booster fans are checked and  repaired  as  neces-
sary.  The fan bearing oil  is changed and new shaft seals  are installed.
All soot blowers (Units 1  and 3)  are inspected and  checked for  proper
operation.


SCRUBBER INSPECTIONS

Unit 3

     An inspection of the Unit 3 scrubber was conducted on August 5,
1977.  The unit had been shut down for a scheduled  outage  in which a
scrubber overhaul was planned.  The last previous major scrubber over-
haul had occurred in August - September, 1976.  The results  of  the
inspection were as follows.


Presatwc'atov

     The presaturator had large solids deposits in  the area  of the
wet-dry interface.  Section C had the largest accumulation of solids
forming a layer as much as two meters deep.  Sections A and  B had solids
accumulations of about one meter in depth.  There were also  solid for-
mations projecting from the top spray nozzles.  The solids on both the
floor and ceiling of the presaturator formed a very hard deposit.  The
solid-cone presaturator spray nozzles that were inspected  did not appear
to be plugged or covered with solids but in some cases solids had
accumulated around the nozzle, possibly restricting the spray coverage.


Scrubber Swnps

     The scrubber sumps had accumulated solids at the bottom but the
solids level did not appear to reach the spray pump intake lines.  All

-------
66
 the pump intake  lines  have  screens.  Broken balls had accumulated on
 most of the  screens, but  none  of  the screens were completely plugged.
 Packing Stages

      There was  evidence  throughout  the mobile ball sections of ball
 migration and poor gas flow distribution.  This typically appeared as
 maldistribution of balls and  deposition of solids on the bottom of the
 packing stages.  Generally, it  appeared that the majority of the gas.
 tended  to flow  from the  presaturator  section up the "back side" of the
 scrubber.  (The "back side" of  the  scrubber is the east side or side
 opposite  the presaturator section.)   This could have resulted from the
 high velocities resulting from  restriction in the presaturator section

      In section 3A, the  ball  migration problem was very evident, since
 it was  possible to look  up from the eastside of the scrubber sump to the
 mist eliminator blades because  of ball migration.  In  all three stages,
 the layer of balls (nominally at 20-30 cm depth) varied from zero thick-
 ness for  the east one-third of  the  stage to as much as 1 m  near the  west
 end of  the scrubber. There did not appear to be any significant solids
 buildup in the  3A section.

      Section 3B showed a less consistent pattern of ball migration.   In
 the first stage (which was made up  of twelve wire-grid compartments), two
 of the  compartments on the east side  and one compartment on the west
 side had  less  than one  layer  of balls, whereas two middle compartments
 had 0.5 m and  1 m ball depths.   A couple of breaks were noted in the
 grids separating the far east and middle compartments  where ball migra-
 tion could occur.  The  second stage had a uniform distribution of
 balls.  The third stage  of this section, however, had  poor  distribution.
 The south one-third of  the stage had  less than one layer of balls and
 the depth of the balls  became progressively deeper toward the southwest

                                                                    67
corner of the scrubber stage.   The only significant solids  buildup noted
was on the bottom of the first stage.   Scaled areas covering about one-
fourth and one-sixteenth of the cross-sectional  area were seen in the
middle of the bottom stage and of the northwest corner of the first
grid, respectively.

     Section 3C had the most significant solids accumulations.  Approxi-
mately three-fourths of the bottom of the first stage was scaled over.
A large mass (0.5-1 m diameter) of a very hard deposit of accumulated
solids and balls was found in the east compartment of this stage.  The
bottom of the west compartment on the second stage was also scaled over.
The third stage did not have significant solid deposits.  Ball migration
problems were not as evident in this section.  The first stage had less
balls on the east side of each compartment, varying by as much as 10 to
20 cm (4 to 8 in), while the second and third stages had reasonably good
ball distribution.

     The physical condition of the ball grids and scrubber liner was
reasonably good.  The most prevalent ball types found were a solid black
rubber ball and a hollow green plastic ball.  Less than 5% of the balls
appeared to be broken or grossly worn.  The support grids were intact
with the exception of those noted above.  However, it was observed that
at the point of contact, overlapping grid wires apparently were  "cutting"
into one another.  In many cases for the first stage, as much as 0.5 to
1 cm wear was observed.  This  is apparently due to vibration and movement
of the strands when the scrubber is in service.  The rubber scrubber
liner, although found to be in fairly good condition overall, had some
bubbles or blisters where the  liner had popped off  the  steel  underneath,
especially in section 3B stage 1 and section  3C stage 2.  There  were
also a couple of  areas  in section 3B stage 1  and section 3C stage 1
where pieces of the liner had  come off, exposing the underlying  metal.

Recirculating Slurry Pumps and Nozzles

     The impellers of the slurry pumps were inspected from the suction
side of the pump which had been opened for each pump.  The rubber-
covered impellers seemed to be intact and in good condition.   Inspection
was also made of the recirculating nozzles.  Several  of the nozzles  were
plugged:  7 of 14 in section 3A, 9 of 42 in section 3B and 7 of 14  in
section 3C.  The material causing the pluggage was mostly 0.6 to 1.0 cm
rubber liner, possibly eroded from the recirculating  lines.  The ori-
fices of several of the recirculating slurry nozzles  were measured  and
did not show significant wear.
Mist Eliminator'

     The mist eliminator area was observed to be in very good condition
with the exception of wash nozzle which had broken loose from its header.
The chevrons, which were 316 SS, had very little solids deposit and did
not show any gross signs of pitting or corroding.  The alignment of the
mist eliminator blades was also good.


Reheater Area

     At the time of the inspection, only sections 3A and 3C had reheater
coils in place.  The coils were reasonably clean.  There was a thin
solids layer (<2 to 4 mm) on most of the coils with significant deposits
(1 to 2 cm) found only on the bottom of the tubes in the lowest tube
bundles.  No pitting of the 316 tubes was observed.  There was evidence
of severe rusting and corrosion of the ducting which surrounds the
coils.  In section 3B, in which the reheater coils had been absent,
there were several holes in the reheat duct area caused by excessive
corrosion.

                                                                     69
Ductuork and Dampers

     The ductwork downstream of the scrubbers,  the isolation dampers,
and the bypass ductwork were inspected.   The downstream ductwork was
badly rusted for all three sections and  large pieces of the corroded
carbon steel ductwork could be easily pulled off by hand.   The ductwork
was set and in section 3C there was a wet solids accumulation as deep as
10 cm throughout.  The inlet guillotine  gates were closed  and from a
limited inspection appeared to be in good condition.  The  outlet dampers
were rusted and corroded.  None appeared capable of providing a tight
seal and the bottom louver blade in 3C was mired in solids in a half
open position (the other blades of the damper were closed).  The bypass
ductwork was found to have extensive, very hard deposits.   The buildups
were as much as 1 m deep throughout.

     The Company representative who accompanied NEIC personnel on the
inspections was knowledgeable of the problems present and  how they
would be fixed.

     A follow-up inspection of the Unit  3 scrubber was conducted on
August 24,  1977.  The purpose of the inspection was to determine the
thoroughness of the scrubber overhaul in light of the problems noted
from the previous inspection and to inspect the new mist eliminator
assemblies  that were to be installed in  sections 3A and 3C.

     The solids in the presaturator and  scrubber sump had  been thoroughly
removed.  The pump intake lines were clear.  The recirculating slurry
nozzles had been cleaned.  The new mist eliminator assemblies were in
place and appeared to be properly installed.  The reheat ductwork in 3B
had had a plate installed to cover the corroded areas.  The bypass
ductwork area had been thoroughly cleaned out.

-------

      The ball  sections  had  not  been  cleaned and balls had not been
 redistributed  or added,  although  the Company  representative stated that
 this would be  done prior to startup.  The areas where the scrubber liner
 had fallen off were not  repatched.
 Unit 4
      A very limited inspection  of  the  C  section of  the Unit 4 scrubber
 was conducted  on August  14,  1977.  The boiler unit  had been brought .down
 to inspect a leak in the boiler tubes.   The only areas open for inspec-
 tion were the  presaturator area and  the  scrubber sump.

      A layer of soft solids  approximately 0.5 m deep was present on the
 presaturator floor.  The presaturator  nozzles, however, were clear and,
 in general, the presaturator area  was  in good shape.  A sma'il section
 (approximately 2 ft square)  of  rubber  liner had come loose from one wall
 just downstream of the presaturator  spray nozzles.  The scrubber sump on
 the north side had its pump  intake screen clogged with balls.  The other
 two sumps were filled with water and their intake screens were not
 visible.   The  bottom of  the  first  stage  of the scrubber had significant
 solids buildup across approximately  15%  of the cross-section.  These
 deposits  were  noted on the presaturator  side of the scrubber.
 UPSET REPORTING

      As  discussed in  the  previous  section, Public Service Company of
 Colorado has  reported day-to-day malfunctions of the particulate control
 equipment.  The data  generated  in  these  upset reports were used to
 review scrubber availability  and the major sources of scrubber mal-
 functions.

-------
                                                                      71
Availability

     Availability, as reported by PSCC,  is defined as:

   .. ..,.+    Scrubber hours operation  - hours boiler  burning 100% gas
Availability - Boiler nours operation -  hours boiler burning  100% gas

A distinction is also made as to how "scrubber hours operation" is
defined for each unit.  For the Unit 1  and 3 scrubbers, the scrubber
is considered to be operating when all  sections of the  scrubbers are in
service.  For the Unit 4 scrubber, the scrubber is considered to be
operating if 3 of the 4 sections are in service.

     Figure 9  shows cumulative 12-month availabilities for the scrubbers
at Cherokee Station based on the above definitions.  The data include
the  time period from when the scrubbers were initially put in operation
until April 1977, after which time this recording method was discon-
tinued.

     Various trends can be identified from Figure  9.  All scrubbers
appear  to go through an initial start-up/shake-down period when scrubber
availabilities are low.  As the initial problems were solved, availa-
bilities gradually increased until a maximum point (>90% availability)
was  reached, typically 30 to 40 months after initial startup.  There-
after,  the curves appear to take on more  individual pattern reflecting
the  differences between units.  The availability curve for Unit 3 began
to sharply decrease after reaching the maximum, while the curve for
Unit 4  has constantly remained above 90%  availability.  Unit  1 scrubber
availability was  not plotted for any significant period after reaching
its  maximum point but, because of its similarities to Unit 3  (i.e., no
spare scrubber sections, limited weather  enclosure, direct reheat,
etc.),  it would be expected to experience a dropoff in availability
similar to that of Unit 3.

     Table 13  shows the average availability  for  each year  of scrubber
operation.  The overall averages for scrubber availabilities are:

                         Unit 1    65%
                         Unit 3    63%
                         Unit 4    84%
Equipment Upset Data

     The upset reports provide information on equipment component  mal-
functions but the reports are not sufficiently comprehensive to  allow
a definitive scrubber equipment component evaluation to be made.   The
data do not show causes of failures nor do they allow differentiation
between primary and secondary effects, i.e. whether breakdowns were
caused by the equipment component itself or were associated with dis-
turbances from other components.  Furthermore, a number of months  of
data were either not available or too imcomplete to be included  in this
analysis.  Finally, it was impossible to properly distribute downtime to
equipment when more than one component required repairs during  a given
outage.  As a result of these factors, only a broad definition  of
scrubber related problems is possible.

     Table 14 shows estimates of relative contributions of various
scrubber subsystems to scrubber downtime for each unit.  The estimates
are expressed as a percentage of the reduction in scrubber availability
due to major areas for each 12-month period.  The estimates are  based
on scrubber upset reports prepared by PSCC.

     The most illuminating observation from Table 14 is that there  are
significant differences in problems causing outages between the various
units.  Major problem areas for the Units 1 and 3 scrubbers are the

reheaters, scrubber internals, recirculating  slurry system and  recircu-
lating slurry pumps.  The major problem areas for the  Unit 4  scrubbers
are the scrubber booster fans.

     The major problem areas for the Units 1  and 3 scrubbers  in apparent
order of importances are:  reheaters, scrubber internals,  recirculating
slurry system and recirculating slurry pumps.  The reheaters  have
resulted from corrosion and pluggage of the in-line steam  coils.   Typi-
cal problems with the scrubber internals include inspection,  repair,  and
replacement of scrubber grids, scrubber liner, and mobile  balls.
Difficulties in the recirculating slurry system include repairing  leaky
recirculating slurry piping, unplugging the slurry drawoff line and
removing slurry buildups in the scrubber hoppers.  The recirculating
slurry pump problems appear to mainly be due to bearing, packing and
motor difficulties.

     The major upset problems encountered in the Unit  4 scrubbers  are
almost exclusively due to scrubber booster fan malfunctions,  and lack of
other major problems can be attributed to improved design  features. The
scrubber booster fans are air foil fans which have been highly  subject
to erosion from fly ash carried over from the ESP's.  Unit 4  is operated
with one module as a spare, therefore maintenance to scrubber internals,
recirculation pumps, piping, etc. can be routinely scheduled.  Further-
more as critical scrubber problems occur and require repair,  the affected
scrubber section can be replaced with the spare section with  relatively
short-term opacity excursions.  Unit 4 scrubbers also  have indirect
reheaters which are less subject to corrosion and plugging than are
direct in-line heaters.  Unit 4 scrubbers are totally enclosed, thus
preventing significant freezing problems.

EVALUATION OF SCRUBBER PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION

     The performance of the TCA scrubber were evaluated using the
operating data collected during the study period,  and data from pre-
vious stack tests, efficiency tests, etc.  Prior to this analysis,
Meteorological Research, Inc.1* prepared an analysis of the particulate
removal performance of the Cherokee Unit 3 scrubber.  Their results
and the results of this study are discussed in this section.

     Table 15 shows the particulate removal performance data  for the
scrubbers on each unit based on recent stack tests and published
reports.  For each unit, a comparison is made between design  values and
actual values of grain loadings, efficiencies and powerplant  load.

     The scrubber particulate loadings are important in evaluating  com-
pliance with particulate regulations.  In reviewing the data, it is
noted that, with one exception, the outlet grain loadings show compliance
with the process weight regulation requiring particulate emissions  to
be less than 0.1 Ib per MM Btu heat input.  The one exception is the
                                      o
average outlet loading of 0.14 g/std m  (0.06 gr/SCF) taken from data
reported by MRI for November 1974.  This loading may have been in
excess of 0.1 Ib per MM Btu, but could not be determined since the
circumstances under which this data was taken could not be evaluated.

     Opacity meter data [Table 15] and visible emission observations are
also indications of outlet particulate loadings.  However, it is signi-
ficant to note that small particles contribute proportionately more to
high opacities than to high particulate loadings.   As a result, opacity
and outlet particulate loadings are not directly related.  The wide
variations in opacity data are important because they reflect the wide
fluctuations in scrubber operations.

     The data in Table 15 show that the  actual  scrubber  outlet  loadings
for Units 1  and 3 exceed the design values.   To investigate  the cause
and significance of this observation,  it is  necessary  to consider  some
of the factors which affect the outlet particle loading, i.e.,  the
scrubber inlet particulate loading and the scrubber's  particulate  re-
moval efficiency.  The outlet particulate loading  is related to the
inlet loading and scrubber efficiency  as follows:

     Outlet particle loading = Inlet particle loading  x  (1 - efficiency)

     The inlet loading to the scrubber is dependent on a number of fac-
tors including:  the coal that is being  fired, the boiler operation,  the
mechanical collector/ESP operation and addition of conditioning agent.
With such a variety of factors, it is  not unexpected that there are
reported differences in inlet particulate loadings between units and
between the same unit at different time periods.  A more significant
observation is that actual scrubber inlet particulate  loadings  can and
do significantly exceed design values.  Although the scrubbers  have some
inherent capability for removing excess  particulate, it  is not  known  how
large an excess can be handled or for how long.  In Section  V,  infor-
mation reported in PSCC upset reports  has shown violations of the  20%
opacity standards (as measured by the  opacity meters)  due to ESP mal-
functions.  Since these violations occurred when the scrubber was  in
service, it must be concluded that the scrubber outlet particulate
loading can exceed standards even when the scrubber is not in an upset
condition.  Therefore, it is important that the mechanical collector/ESP
efficiency be improved and maintained  at optimum conditions.  Operation
of the ESP's at 40 to 60% efficiency is not acceptable.

     Very limited scrubber efficiency data is available  for  the scrubber
installations at Cherokee.  From data developed from other mobile  bed

-------
80
contactors it is expected that particle collection efficiency will  be
dependent on gas flow, liquid flows, and state of motion of the mobile
contactor beds as indicated by pressure drop.7  In addition, it is
important to recognize that nonuniformities such as gas flow imbalances,
liquid flow imbalances, solids pluggage, etc. play an important role in
determining the particulate removal efficiency of large-scale scrubber
installations.  These are reviewed in the following discussion.

     The only available efficiency data for the Cherokee Station is
presented in the MRI study.  In their initial set of tests (average
particulate removal  efficiency of 84%), they found flow and outlet
particle loading imbalances between sections of the Unit 3 scrubber.
To correct this, the scrubber was shut down, some of the mobile bed
packing was redistributed and a clogged reheater was partially cleaned.
Efficiency tests conducted subsequent to this shutdown showed improved
efficiency (average efficiencies of 94%).  MRI also analyzed the scrubber
outlet particulate and found a high concentration of soluble components
indicating that liquid entrainment was occurring to a significant degree.
MRI concluded that the scrubber performance data they obtained reflected
specific scrubber conditons and that general scrubber particulate removal
efficiency correlations could not be developed from the data.

     The scrubber operating data accumulated during the study also
relected a wide range of operating conditions.  Table 16 shows gas  flow,
liquid flow and pressure drop data taken during the study.  The data
was taken from instrumentation located in the boiler control rooms.

     The gas flow data are shown in terms of scrubber booster fan motor
amps.  These data present little basis for analysis since fan motor amps
are also a function of pressure drop and fan/motor efficiencies.  It does
appear, however, from data taken for Unit 4, that the gas flow is

 reasonably well distributed between the three scrubbing sectons.   No
 observation can be made for flow distribution between sections  in the
 Unit 1 and Unit 3 scrubbers since these do not have individual  fans for
 each section.

      More conclusive data on gas flows are shown in Table 17.   These
 data were taken from recent stack tests performed for the units and are
 compared against design values.  It is noted that in all cases  of
 reduced scrubber section operation the superficial  scrubber velocity is
 4.8 to 5.8 meters per second (mps) as compared to a design maximum of 40
 mps.  Furthermore, even under "normal operation" for Units 3 and 4 (4.7
 and 4.8 mps superficial velocity, respectively), the design maximum
 velocity is exceeded.  Although this has apparently not affected compliance
 with the process weight regulation, it can result in improper bed fluid-
 ization and high liquid entrainment.  Above superficial gas velocities
 of about 4.0 mps, it has been shown that pressure drops and bed expansion
 increase to the point where mobile spheres are held up at the top of the
 retaining grids.7  Liquid entrainment also increases when gas velocities
 increase, and can become severe when the velocities are 4 mps and higher.8

      The distribution of gas flow between scrubber sections on  Units 1
 and 3 could not be determined from operating data accumulated during
 this study.  However, field measurements made by MRI during 1974 do
 show the magnitude of typical gas flow variations.   Figures 10  and 11
 show sets of gas velocity profiles taken before and after the Unit 3
 scrubber had been cleaned, balls redistributed, and reheater partially
 cleaned.  Theoretically, the profiles should be reasonably close to
 one another, but as shown in the curves, the average velocities between
 sections can vary by as much as 3 to 1.  This type of variation indicates
 that even if the bulk scrubber gas velocity (as calculated in Table 17)
 is within proper design limits, the velocities within each section may
 be outside the range required for proper operation of the beds.  Over-
 all particulate removal may be reduced and liquid entrainment can be
 significantly increased.

      Table 13  also shows  variations  in  liquid-to-gas  (L/G) ratios under
 various full  load  conditions.  Once  again,  there  is a significant de-
 parture from design L/G values under "normal" scrubber operations (Units
 3 and 4 only)  and  under "reduced"  scrubber  operations (all Units).   In
 general, decreasing the L/G  ratio  (with constant  gas  velocity and
 pressure drop) is  expected to reduce particulate  removal; however, no
 precise quantitative relationships could  be developed from available
 literature to  indicate the expected  decrease  in particulate  removal.

      More significant observations of liquid  flow rate variation are-
 shown in Table 12.  For sixteen  of the  observations  (6 days) on Unit 1,
 the pump in the single-pump  scrubber section  (Section 1A) was not in
 service.  Obviously, under  these conditions,  the  particulate removal in
 that section of the scrubber is  very much reduced.   Furthermore, pro-
 longed exposure of the scrubber  internals to  these conditions  (where
 scrubber temperatures approach  90ฐC  (200ฐF) even  with some water in-
 troduced continuously through  the mist eliminator nozzles, may cause the
 rubber liner to blister and  creep and cause deformation  of  the plastic
 sphere.

      Minor instances of 1 to 2  day's duration were also  observed where
 one of the three pumps in a  scrubbing section was out of service.   These
 cases are not as critical since scrubber internals are  not  severely
 affected and overall particulate removal  may  not  be  significantly  re-
 duced depending on AP and gas  velocity values.

       When the current to a given recirculating pump motor  is  below
 levels that, by experience,  indicate pump or line problems  (11  amps on
 Unit 4  pumps and 20 amps on Units 1  and 3 pumps)  an  immediate  investi-
 gation  is reportedly made.   Typically  the problem is one of a  plugged
 suction  line  and backflushing is  initiated.  However, as noted in  the
 Unit 3  scrubber inspection, plugging of recirculating spray nozzles may
 also be  occurring  and this cannot be detected without an internal

-------
                                                                    87
scrubber inspection.   Besides reducing  scrubber  liquid  flow,  plugged
nozzles can cause liquid maldistribution  and,  if extreme,  can lead  to
improper fluidization of the scrubber bed.

     The pressure drop UP)  across the  mobile  bed could be expected to
be a primary indicator of the particulate removal performance and of
the conditions within the bed such as fluidization,  gas channeling,
etc.  Particulate removal performance as  a function  of  AP  was studied
by MRI with a limited amount of data.  Table 18  shows the  results of
that study in which no correlation could  be found between  particulate
removal efficiency and pressure drop.  Instead,  as noted previously,
MRI attributed the variations in particulate removal efficiency  to
numerous operating factors in existence at the time  of  their  tests.

     The pressure drop recorded across  the mobile beds  should also
provide an indication of the conditions within those beds.  It was
stated by the Company that pressure drops of less than  15  to  20  cm  (6  to
8 in) water column (W.C.) at full load  are an  indication that gas
channeling is occurring within the scrubber.  At the other extreme, the
manufacturer's operating limitations1 state that the scrubber should  not
be operated above 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14 in) W.C. due to bed expansion
and problems caused by mobile packing held up against the  retaining
grid.  This latter condition can result in flooding  within the scrubber.
Instances when pressure drops were outside of the lower and upper limits
are shown in Table 19.

     Interpretation of the pressure drop  data in Table  19  is  not straight
forward.  The data indicate, that channeling was occurring in Unit  1
(sections 1A and IB) and Unit 3 (section  3C),  whereas flooding may  have
been occurring in Unit 4 (section 4A).  However, to  put the data in
proper perspective, it is necessary to  compare the Unit 3  pressure  drop
data with subsequent inspection observations that were  made when the
scrubber was taken out of service.  These inspections  indicated  that  the

 low  pressure drop  in  section 3C was due to low flow resulting from heavy
 solids  accumulation in both the presaturator and scrubber bed.  On the
 other hand, the  inspection revealed that gas flow channeling was exist-
 ing  in  other sections (especially section 3A) but was not indicated from
 pressure drop  instrumentation.  This may have occurred because the
 sections were  forced  to handle higher than design gas flow rates.

     It should also be recognized that the type of packing also influ-
 ences the  pressure drop.   Studies performed at West Virginia Univer-
 sity1 showed that  pressure drop was, in part, dependent on the physical
 properties of  the  packing (e.g. shape, weight, size).  With the dif-
 ferent  types of  balls being used in the scrubbers and the added problems
 of ball migration, interpretation of pressure drop measurements is
 further complicated.

     The operating data collected during the scrubber performance
 evaluation is  not  conclusive.  It is evident that the scrubber sections
 are  typically  operated at gas velocities, liquid flowrates and pressure
 drops outside  of design ranges.  It is also evident that scrubber in-
 strumentation  does not consistently indicate when internal scrubber
 problems,  such as  ball migration, gas flow channelling, and solids
 deposition, are  occurring.
EVALUATION OF SCRUBBER SYSTEM RELIABILITY

     From the previous discussion, it is apparent that even if 100%
of the gas is flowing through the TCA scrubber, the scrubber may not be
capable of meeting applicable particulate regulations.  Scrubber avail-
ability is, therefore, not an adequate measure of scrubber performance.
Instead, it is necessary to introduce the term "reliability".  Relia-
bility, as used in this report, will be defined as:  the percent of time
the boiler is on-line that the particulate control systems are operating
and meeting applicable particulate regulations.

                                                                      91
     To adequately review reliability in light of the existing Cherokee
Station scrubber operation, it is important to consider the individual
equipment components which appear to have the largest impact on scrubber
reliability.  In their May 1975 study, which appears as an appendix to
the MRI evaluation,** Steams-Roger, Inc. identified components present-
ing major maintenance problems for the Unit 3 scrubber.  Those problems
and problems which appear to contribute significantly to current scrubber
reliability deficiencies are shown in Table 20.   As can be seen, most
of the problems identified in the earlier study are still  present.   The
major reliability problem components are reviewed individually in the
following discussion.
Wear of Mobile Bed Contactors

     Prior to this survey, PSCC had extensively tested balls  of varying
compositions and designs and indicated that the ball  wear problem was
their major maintenance item.  As the balls were exposed to turbulent
conditions in the scrubber, they would wear out, break apart,  dimple,
etc.  The fluidization of the bed was disturbed and balls migrated to
cause flow channeling in the scrubber and wear problems in other com-
ponents of the scrubber system.  Obviously, the particulate removal
ability of the scrubber was then reduced and the scrubber had  to be
taken out of service to redistribute balls, replace balls, etc.

     PSCC has evaluated balls made of a number of different materials
including polyethylene, polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber but has
now stated that a polyethylene ball of unique construction provides what
they consider to be adequate resistance to wear.  (A  ball  providing
"adequate" resistance to wear is expected to have a useful life of about
one year.)  The ball is a hollow green-colored sphere manufactured by
Puget Sound Trading Co.  The unique feature of the ball  is that it has
crimps or indentations which tend to give it greater  strength.  Report-
edly, the indentations also cause the ball  to acquire a characteristic

spin.   This, in turn, results in ball  wear in  one  or  two  spots  rather
than at a number of points from which  a ball can break  into  pieces.

     The green polyethylene ball is still  not  ideal and PSCC indicates
that they continue to search for an improved design.  When  the  green
ball does wear it fills with scrubber  slurry and falls  to the bottom
of the stage.  Proper turbulent contact is then difficult to maintain
within the scrubber if a significant number of the balls  are worn.

     No matter what ball is used, operating the scrubber  with large
flow imbalances is still a significant problem. Certain  portions of
the scrubber are exposed to high ball  wear whereas other  areas  may see
minimum or negligible ball wear.  A possible  solution to  this ball  wear
problem may be to repl ice the mobile packing with  stationary packing.
PSCC does not consider this alternative to be  feasible, mainly  because
they feel that Universal Oil Products will no  longer  stand  behind the
scrubbers if such a radical change is made.

     The use of an open-type packing has been  investigated  in tests
performed by Southern California Edison at the Mohave Generating Station
in  1974 and 1975.9  A polygrid  "egg crate" packing was  used consisting
of  plastic grids 3 cm thick with 5 cm square openings,  stacked  to a
depth of 43 cm in each of three stages.  The scrubbing  liquid was a
limestone slurry.  The results  of the study indicated that high par-
ticulate removal i.e. >90%, could be achieved  [Figure 12].   Although  a
limited number of tests were conducted and problems with  scaling were
not evaluated, the use of open  packing appears to be very promising.
Migration of Mobile Bed Contactors

     The other major ball problem affecting scrubber operation is ball
migration.  Balls migrate due to ball wear, ball breakage, and breaks

in the partitions separating ball  compartments.   As  in  the  case of the
ball wear problem described previously,  scrubber  particulate  removal
performance decreases and downtime for repair  increases.

     PSCC has reduced some of the  problems brought about  by ball  migra-
tion by placing screens on the suctions  to the recirculation  pumps.
Previously, balls would circulate  through the  system, cut pump linings,
plug nozzles, etc.  The problem of migration within  the scrubber still
remains, however.  The migration problem is not always  readily deter-
mined from pressure drop data as was noted in  previous  discussions.
Obviously, frequent inspections and replacement of worn grids and balls
is an important factor in minimizing ball migration  between compart-
ments.  Another potential solution is to replace the mobile packing
with stationary packing.
Isolation Dampers

     On-going isolation damper problems have plagued the TCA scrubbers
since these began operation.  Inlet dampers accumulate ash deposits and
are exposed to varying gas temperatures and conditions.  Outlet dampers
accumulate sludge deposits from scrubber carryover and are exposed to
varying gas temperatures and conditions depending on scrubber mist
eliminator and reheater operation.  As a result, the gates and lower
blades warp; they are difficult to operate and are hampered by gas
leaks into drive trains, couplings, etc.

     The best available approach to minimizing the isolation damper
problem is to improve the damper operating conditions.  At the inlet,
this would involve reducing particulate loading by optimizing ESP per-
formance as much as possible.  At the scrubber outlet, it would be
necessary to minimize flow imbalance and liquid entrainment problems
and improve the operation of the reheaters.  In addition, it may be

-------
96
necessary to routinely exercise isolation dampers similar to what is
currently being done for the stack bypass dampers.


Recirculation Pumps

     Although a number of major pump problems had been solved during
initial  scrubber operations, problems with recirculation pump operation
still  remain.  However, in view of the rugged duty to which these pumps
are  subjected, e.g. fly ash slurry, almost continuous operation, etc.,
some problems must be expected.  It may not be possible to significantly
improve  the existing slurry pump operation.  Major maintenance and
repair areas include pump motors, bearings and packing.

     The major problem, as noted previously, is where a scrubber section
has  only one recirculating pump (sections 1A, 3A, and 3C}.  When the
pump is  inoperable, either the scrubber section must be taken out of
service  or it must be operated with no recirculating slurry.  The former
condition results in reduced scrubber capacity whereas the latter causes
severly  limited particulate removal performance and possible exposure of
scrubber internals to adverse high temperature conditions.  Possible
solutions to this problem are to install additional pumps on the existing
one-pump sections or to pipe all the recirculating slurry pumps for a
given  unit to a single manifold which would feed all the scrubber sections
of that  unit.
 Reheater Section

       There have been numerous  problems  in  the  operation of  the stack
 gas reheaters.   The direct reheaters  on  Units 1  and  3  have been subject
 to pluggage due to carryover from the scrubbers and  to corrosion.   The
 reheaters on all three units have been plagued  with  an inability  to
 provide sufficient reheat of scrubbed gases.

-------
                                                                     97
     When the direct reheaters on Units 1  and 3 get plugged,  the  scrub-
ber section is taken out of service for cleaning.   The plugging is
thought to be caused by water droplets being carried over from the
scrubber.  When the droplets evaporate, solids which were originally
present as dissolved and suspended solids  deposit  on the in-line  coils.
Early efforts by PSCC to minimize plugging of reheaters included  in-
creasing the number of soot blowers and replacing  finned-tube coils with
bare-tube coils.  Since then PSCC has also attempted to improve mist
eliminator performance by installing new mist eliminator designs, but
these tests have not yet been evaluated by PSCC.  With the gas and
liquid flow imbalance problems previously  noted, it is questionable
whether the new mist eliminator designs will significantly improve  the
reheater plugging problem.  The soundest approach  to solving  the  plug-
ging problem appears to be replacing the direct reheaters with indirect
reheaters similar to those now in operation on Unit 4.

     Corrosion of the in-line reheater tubes has led to tube  failure and
resulting scrubber down time for repair.  Corrosion is believed to
generally occur under the deposits that form on the tubes.10   Originally
the tubes at Cherokee were carbon steel, but after repeated tube  failure,
PSCC replaced the carbon steel tubes with  316 SS.   These have proven to
be successful thus far.  However, it has been pointed out in  other
powerplant scrubber applications10 that 316 SS is  highly vulnerable to
failure to chloride stress corrosion.  A long term solution,  as noted
above, would be to use indirect reheaters.

     The available reheat from the reheater system has been found to be
insufficient (less than design) in all three scrubbers.  When the reheat
is not adequate, condensation occurs in the outlet ductwork and stack,
causing corrosion of these components.  Also, inadequate reheat results
in droplet carryover problems, giving false opacity meter readings.

-------
98
      The cause of inadequate reheat appears to be  due to solids  build-
 up on in-line reheater tubes (Units 1  and 3),  corrosion of in-line
 reheater tubes (Units 1  and 3), and presence of liquid entrainment
 levels (all units).   PSCC has reportedly conducted heat balances for  the
 stack gas reheaters.   These have shown that much more heat from  the
 steam was used than is necessary for the sensible  heat required  to
 provide the stack gas temperatures that are actually measured.   Table
 21,  which shows design and actual  observed stack gas exit temperatures,
 indicates that average stack exit temperatures ranged from 46  to 67ฐC
 (115 to 153ฐF) or about 12 to 40ฐC (20 to 70ฐF) less than design values.

      Solid buildup on in-line reheater tubes affects reheat by reducing
 the heat transfer from the tubes to the stack gas  while corrosion of  in-
 line reheater tubes not only restricts heat transfer but also  can cause
 leaks resulting in loss of steam.   Improvement of  these problems was
 discussed previously.  The problem of high Iquid entrainment requires
 improvement in the mist eliminator collection efficiency and/or  gas  flow
 distribution in the scrubber.
 Recirculation Piping and Nozzles

      The recirculating slurry contains fly ash which is composed of very
 abrasive constituents such as silicon dioxide (Si{L) and aluminum tri-
 oxide (AUO.,).  As a result, the rubber lining of the pipes is subject
 to highly erosive conditions, especially where the slurry impinges
 directly on the liner.  This occurs at pipe bends of Y's and locations
 where the rubber liner is incorrectly applied and surface liner irregu-
 larities are formed.  When the liner begins to erode, chunks of rubber
 are broken away and lodge in recirulating slurry nozzles.  As the liner
 continues to erode at a given location, accelerated wear takes place and
 an increasingly irregular surface is formed.  When the liner has been
 stripped from the pipe, the underlying metal is also exposed to corro-
 sive attack from the low pH slurry.

      Erosion and corrosive attack on the slurry piping will result in
 reduced  scrubber performance and availability.  Clogged nozzles will
 reduce liquid slurry flow rates.  Holes in piping will require that
 scrubber sections be taken down for repair.

      The problem of corrosive and erosive attack on piping is impossible
 to  avoid in particulate scrubbers operating on powerplants.  Resulting
 problems can, however, be minimized to some extent by an ongoing inspec-
 tion  system.  During shutdowns, nozzles should be inspected for rubber
 liner pieces.  Devices, such as sonic detectors, can be used to measure
 pipe  thicknesses at critical wear points.  Nozzle plugging can be mini-
 mized to some extent by replacing nozzles with flow diverter cones which
 essentially have no internal parts to clog.
 Presaturator  Buildup

      Solids accumulate  in  the  presaturator section in the area around
 presaturator  spray nozzles called  the wet-dry  interface.  In this area,
 the presaturator  surfaces  are  alternatively exposed to the hot, dusty,
 gas stream and  to the cool, wet, presaturator  spray.  A solid buildup
 results,  and  as the size of the buildup  increases, parts of the buildup
 can break loose,  fall into the scrubber  hopper and plug the recircula-
 tion pump inlet screens.   In addition, as noted  in the Unit 3 inspection,
 the presaturator  buildup can reach the point where gas flow is restric-
 ted and the flow  balance is altered not  only within the scrubber section
 but also between  scrubber  sections. Besides affecting screen plugging
 and flow balance, presaturator buildup may form  hard deposits which
 require extreme methods for removal, such as using a jackhammer to break
 up the solids.  Damage  to  the  underlying presaturator surface then may
 result.

-------
                                                                     101
     PSCC has attempted to minimize the presaturator buildup problem
by directing the nozzle sprays so that they point 45ฐ into the  scrubber
rather than being oriented at 90ฐ, i.e., vertical.   This  modification
has apparently helped to some degree but, based upon the  Unit 3 equip-
ment inspections, there is still  a need for frequent inspection and
cleaning to prevent excessive presaturator deposits  from  developing.
This is especially true for Units 1 and 3 where flow distribution prob-
lems are more inherent and where  spare modules are not available.

     Other modifications to further reduce the solids buildup problem
might include reducing the inlet  particulate loading and  providing a
means to constantly wet the wet/dry interface area.   Decreasing the
inlet particulate loading could be achieved by improving  the ESP collec-
tion efficiency.  Wetting the presaturator area might be  accomplished by
irrigating the bottom surface from a pipe located just upstream of the
wet/dry surface.


Mist Eliminators

     The mist eliminator installations have presented continuing diffi-
culties in the operation of the Universal Oil Products scrubbers.
Problems have arisen in two areas:  high pressure drop, and high mist
entrainment.  The high pressure drop problem was thought  to be  caused by
the initially installed FRP mist eliminators which may have tended to
"flutter" when the scrubbers were in service.  This  problem has re-
portedly been solved by the substitution of 316 SS mist eliminators.

     The problem of high mist entrainment is indicated by the outlet
particulate analyses conducted by MRI and by the reheater heat  balances
conducted by PSCC.  Obviously, high carryover not only affects  reheater
performance but also accounts for decreased scrubber availability due
to reheater pluggage from solids  carried over with the entrained mist.

-------
102
Furthermore, mist carryover can cause a high percentage of submicron
participate to be emitted which may not contribute much to the total
weight of particulate emissions, but can have a significant adverse
impact on the opacity of those emissions.

     The problems of high mist carryover can originate from a number
of sources.  Based upon equipment inspections and discussions held with
the Company, mist eliminator blade alignment and mist eliminator plug-
ging are not significant trouble areas.  However, sources which nay
directly or indirectly contribute to high mist carryover are:  the heavy
mist eliminator inlet loadings, gas flow, liquid entrainment maldistri-
bution, inadequate mist eliminator removal efficiency, and re-entrainment.
Unfortunately, very limited droplet loading, mist particle size, and
flow distribution measurements have been made for the mist eliminator;
however, it must be pointed out that well-developed droplet measuring
methods are not presently available.  It is apparent, nonetheless,  that
there are significant gas and liquid flow distribution imbalances to the
mist eliminators.  This is indicated from velocity measurements, evi-
dence of gas flow channeling within the scrubber, and plugged water
nozzles.  It is not certain how these imbalances are propagated through
the mist eliminator, although the normal &P across the mist eliminator
(typically 2 to 5 cm W.C.) is probably not sufficient to even out sig-
nificant flow imbalances.

     The Company approach to reducing mist carryover is to improve
the removal efficiency of the mist eliminators by using a more effi-
cient design.  They have installed new mist eliminator designs in
section 3A (Heil Model EB4) and section 3C  (Munters Model T271).  The
Universal Oil Products manufactured chevron unit is a 3-pass mist
eliminator with a 90ฐ angle between blades and an offset distance
between blades of approximately 4 cm.  The Munters Model T271 is a
chevron type mist eliminator but is composed of trapeze-shaped sepa-
rating walls with integral liquid drainage channels.  The offset distance

-------
                                                                      103
between blades is about 5 cm.   The Heil  Model  EB4  is  a  4-pass  chevron
with 4 cm offset between blades.   The mist  eliminator uses  hooks  to
collect moisture and minimize pressure loss due to turbulence.

     Table 22 presents a comparison of the  design  features  of  the exist-
ing mist eliminators in service.   Although  the new mist eliminator
designs may provide some advantages, it is  difficult  to reach  conclusions
from the data presented in the Table.  However, there is strong  evidence
to indicate that more extreme mist eliminator  design  changes may be
required to provide acceptable mist reduction.11  Potential changes
include using a vertical mist eliminator or a  two-stage mist eliminator.

     The major difficulties which result from  the  Company mist elimi-
natcr program are twofold.  First, to properly improve  mist eliminator
design, the conditions under which the mist eliminator  is operating
must be fully understood.  Questions which  must be answered include:
How significant is the gas flow distribution problem?  What mist
carryover loadings, drop sizes, and imbalances will the mist eliminator
see?  These are difficult questions to answer, but without  some
insight, possible solutions to the mist eliminator problems become
very difficult, lengthy trial-and-error endeavors.  Second, in evalu-
ating new mist eliminator designs, it is important to minimize the
effect of other variables.  If the effect of these variables is  not
minimized, then a design may be discarded because  it  was exposed to  more
severe operating conditions, even though it may be superior to the other
designs.  This could very easily happen at the Cherokee Unit 3 scrubber,
where a number of potential problems affecting mist carryover  are known
and have been observed to occur.

     It is not very likely that modifications  other than well-developed
design modifications will markedly improve the mist carryover  problem.
Modifying operating variables such as gas velocity and  L/G  to  improve
mist carryover are not plausible.  For example, gas velocity and L/G

changes are restricted by the fact that the scrubber must treat all  the
boiler offgass and must operate at a L/G ratio dictated by particulate
removal requirements.   Improvements due to revamped maintenance practices
are also unlikely.  Obviously, the scrubber can be more frequently in-
spected and overhauled, but it is questionable whether this is  a practical
procedure for a bas-loaded plant.

     Given all these aspects of the mist eliminator problem, it is not
expected that the improvements initiated by the Company will have a
major impact on upgrading scrubber reliability.  Rather, more extreme
measures such as reducing upstream gas flow and liquid imbalances,
adding an additional mist eliminator stage, or changing the position of
the mist eliminator to a horizontal rather than vertical duct may be
necessary.
Scrubber Booster Fan

     Recurring problems with booster fans have been noted in upset
reports throughout most periods of scrubber operation.   These upsets
vary from fan bearing, alignment, and vibration problems caused by
build-up of ash on fan blades to more serious problems  of erosive wear
of the fan blades caused by the highly abrasive nature  of the ash.  This
latter problem is especially critical for Unit 4 since  it utilizes air
foil type fans (dictated by volumetric flow rate-pressure drop require-
ments) as opposed to the radial tip fans used on Units  1 and 3.  Air
foil fans are extremely sensitive to erosion and fan performance rapidly
deteriorates under highly erosive conditions.  Obviously, when a fan is
taken out of service, part of the gas flow must be bypassed to the stack
or to a spare module, if available.

     These fan-related problems are difficult to avoid  in light of the
relatively high dust concentrations involved, even with properly operated

-------
106
 fan  soot blowers.  The most readily apparent solution is then to upgrade
 the  performance of the ESP's, and thereby reduce the concentration of
 fly  ash which  the fans must handle.  The problem of the fan blade wear
 on Unit 4  caused by  the highly abrasive ash might also be reduced by
 using  harder alloys.


 Weather-Related Problems

     The freezing of lines during cold weather continues to be a poten-
 tial problem for the Unit 1 and 3 scrubbers but the magnitude of this
 problem could  not be evaluated from upset data or from observations made
 during the July-August 1977 observation period.  In general, freezing
 can  cause  leaks in piping, damage valves and cause portions of the
 slurry and water streams to become inoperative.  The particulate removal
 performance of the scrubber may then be reduced or sections of th&
 scrubber may need to be taken out of service for repair.  The Unit 4
 scrubber is enclosed and does not have significant freeze problems.  On
 Units  1 and 3, the Company, reportedly, attempts to drain water and
 slurry lines when the scrubber is taken out of service for long periods.
 Difficulties are said to typically result during shutdowns when there is
 not  enough time for  proper drainage.


 Outlet Ductwork

     The ductwork at the outlet of the scrubbers is unlined carbon steel
 and  is highly  vulnerable to corrosive attack.  When the scrubber re-
 heaters are not in service or are not operating properly, the ductwork
 is  exposed to  gas which is at or below its dewpoint with respect to
 sulfurous  and  sulfuric acid.  The acid collects on the ductwork surfaces
 and  the metal  is attacked.  The result is corrosion and rusting of the
 carbon steel with accompanying loss of structural integrity.  Holes
 form in  the ductwork, allowing gas to escape; acid condensation then
 can occur  on  nearby  structural supports, insulation, etc.

     Inspection of the Unit 3 scrubber indicated  that extensive corro-
sion has already occurred in the outlet ductwork.   Likewise,  although
outlet ductwork on Unit 1 and 4 scrubbers  wasn't  inspected,  it  is
expected that with similar reheater problems,  these units  will  also have
severely corroded ducting.  At this advanced stage, covering  the carbon
steel with a protective coating may not be feasible.   Therefore, re-
maining options are to immediately repair  ductwork failures  as  they
occur and reduce the amount of time that the scrubber is operated  when
the reheater is defective.  Complete replacement  of outlet ductwork
sections is not advisable until the reheat problem is solved.

                             VII.   OPACITY
EVALUATION OF INSTRUMENTATION

     An evaluation of the instrumentation used for measuring smoke
density was conducted on July 7 and 20, 1977.

     Units No. 1 and 2 exhaust to opposite sides of a single 91  m
(300 ft) stack, with a 4.9 m (16 ft) exit diameter.  The opacity of
Unit No. 1 is measured by a Bailey Dust/density transmitter (bolometer)
installed in a 2.1 m (7 ft) wide duct a short distance from the stack.
The light source and light detector are on opposite sides of the duct
and are joined by a pipe to maintain alignment of the system.  Purge
air is supplied to both sides of the system to reduce dust accumulation
on the lenses.  The standard installation, which is indicated to be in
place, utilizes a 10 cm (4 in) diameter pipe with a 1.5 m (5 ft) x
3.25 cm (3.25 in) slot across which opacity is measured.  The dust
path is normal to the plane of the slot.  The opacity is registered on
a 24-hr circular chart recorder.  A clock accumulates the intervals
when the opacity exceeds 20%.

     Every day the lenses of the transmissometer are cleaned and the
recorder charts replaced.  All opacity charts are kept at the plant
for a one-year period.  Unit No. 1 has reheat problems which have
reduced the temperature in the duct to about 52ฐC (125ฐF).  This low
temperature reportedly permits ash buildup on the Bailey pipe and
reduces the cross-sectional area along the light path.  A brush is
used to ream the pipe while the unit is in service.  During outages
the ash buildup is removed by chiseling.

-------
110
      The meter on Unit No. 2 is the same as on Unit No. 1, but is
  installed  across a 2.6 m  (8.5 ft) duct.  Daily maintenance is the same
  for  each Bailey meter.

      Unit  No. 3 exhausts  to a 91 m (300 ft) tall stack with a 5.9 m
  (19.5  ft)  exit diameter.  A Bailey meter, as described above, is in-
  stalled across a 2.3  m (7.5 ft) duct leading to the stack.  A reheat
  problem exists with Unit  No. 3.  This  has allowed ash buildup similar to
  that occurring on the piping of the Bailey meter on Unit No. 1.

      Unit  No. 4 discharges to a 122 m  (400 ft) stack with a 6.7 m
  (22  ft) stack exit diameter.  Two Bailey meters are installed on the
  discharge  side of the induced draft (ID) fan.  A scrubber downstream of
  these  meters  negates  use  for emission  measurements.  However, the
  meters are used for adjusting performance of the unit.  A Lear-Siegler
  RM-4 transmissometer  is installed in the duct between the scrubber and
  the  stack.  In contrast to the Bailey  meters, the RM-4 contains the
  light  source  and detector in a single  housing on one side of the duct.
  A pipe is  not used to maintain the alignment across the duct.  Unlike
  the  older  Bailey meters,  the RM-4 electronically converts opacity
  measurements  in the duct  to read stack exit opacity.  The conversion
  factor is  set at the  factory prior to  installation.

       A Leeds  and Northrup Speedomax strip chart recorder registers the
  output of  the transmissometer.  Charts are replaced when the end of
  the  roll  is reached.  Plant personnel  have found that  purge air is
  effective  enough to  only  require lens  cleaning every six months.  The
  filter on  the air cleaner must be cleaned every three months.

       Operation  and maintenance procedures for all meters were  found
  to be acceptable.  The  location of opacity meters on Units No.  1-3

-------
                                                                     Ill
was also adequate.  However, the Lear-Siegler transmissometer is located
between two horizontal bends which may create a non-uniform particle
distribution.

     On July 20, 1977, the Bailey meters on Units No.  1, 2 and 3
were calibrated using a procedure developed at NEIC and standard
screens of known opacity (20, 40, 60 and 80%) supplied by the Bailey
Meter Company.  The Lear-Siegler monitor was not calibrated since
that company only supplies an internal standard and NEIC is only now
developing a field calibration system for that unit.  The procedure
permits a check of the linearity and span of the meter while the unit
is in operation.  A sample calculation is shown in Appendix E.

     The test procedure requires that calibrated filters or screens be
inserted in the light path to simulate opacity measurable by the trans-
missometer.  The opacity (0) scale is not a linear function but is
related to optical density  (OD) by the relationship.

                    OD = -log1(J (1-0)

The optical density is linear and, therefore, is additive while opacity
is not.  If the duct where the opacity monitor is installed is measuring
a background opacity because a unit is in operation, the optical density
of screens being inserted is additive to that in the duct.  Thus, if a
monitor is reading 15% opacity (OD = 0.071) and a 20% opacity (OD =
0.097) screen is inserted, the resulting opacity should read 32% (OD =
0.071 + 0.097 = 0.168) rather than 35% (20% + 15% = 35%).

     If the relationship between the meter output and the screen opacity
is linear with a 45ฐ slope when plotted in optical density units, then
the relationship between meter output and stack opacity is linear
[Figure 13].  If, in addition, the meter reads 100% when the light

                      Optical Density - Screens

      Figure 13.  Calibration Curve of Instrument in Calibration

                                                                     113
beam is either completely obscured or extinguished,  then the meter can
be assumed to be in calibration since a line through the 100% opacity
point at 45ฐ slope would also intersect the origin.

     When an optical density plot of the meter output vs screen opacity
is linear but not a.t a 45ฐ slope, then the relationship between re-
corded output and stack opacity is not linear and the meter is out of
calibration.  In this case the scale is distorted, being elongated if
the slope is greater than 45ฐ and shortened when less than 45ฐ.  If
elongated, the meter will read higher for a given stack opacity, if
shortened it will read less.  In these cases the meter will still
appear to pass through 100% opacity when the light beam is extinguished
and, since the zero opacity is not usually measurable during process
operations, the transmissometer is thought to be in calibration.

     The major problem in calibrating a transmissometer appears to
arise from units calibrating near 100% opacity.  Figure 14 shows the
relationship between opacity, transmittance and optical density.  The
difference between 0% and 90% opacity is 1 OD unit.   The difference
between 90% and 99%, or 99% and 99.9% is also 1 OD unit.  Thus, cali-
bration procedures causing large changes in optical  density result in
minor differences in opacity near 100%, but significant variations
in the usual range of opacity readings.

     While the above calibration procedure is adequate for checking
span linearity, it will not determine whether the background opacity
reading is a result of smoke in the stack, or is attributable to dust in
front of or behind the lenses.

     When the smoke density meter on Unit No. 1 was calibrated [Figure
15],  the unit was burning 100% natural gas.  The recorder was reading
-1%, and with the light source extinguished, 99%.  The data were shifted

 1% upscale before being calculated to account for this offset.   Figure
 14 indicates that while the linearity is acceptable, the instrument span
 appears shortened.  The shortened span causes reduced output for a given
 opacity, even though the 0% and 100% points are acceptable.   Some of the
 data points of Figure 14 are indicated as vertical lines where recorder
 fluctuations (due to opacity variations in the duct) occurred during the
 calibration procedure.

      Unit No. 2 was burning a mixture of 25% natural gas and 75% coal
 when the smoke density meter was calibrated [Figure 16].   This  resulted
 in a higher background opacity in the duct (6%) as compared  to  Unit
 No.  1.   When the light source was extinguished, this meter also read
 99%.  The linearity appears acceptable, however, the span of this
 unit also is shortened although not to the extent of the meter  on Unit
 No.  1.

      If the slope of the line fitting the data is considered an indi-
 cation of the span, a 45ฐ line (an instrument in proper calibration)
 would have a value of unity.  The opacity monitor on Unit 1  has a
 slope of 0.70, indicating a span that is 70% of the acceptable  value.
 In a similar fashion,.the monitor on Unit No.  2 had a span of 91% of the
 desired value.

      Unit No. 3 was only burning coal when the opacity monitor  was
 calibrated, thus it was registering a slightly higher opacity (9%)
 than the other two meters.   With the light source extinguished, this
 meter also read 99%.  Again, the linearity appeared acceptable  but the
 span was foreshortened to 86% of the expected value [Figure  17].
 In all  cases the compression of the span will  result in the  recorded
 value being less than the measured value in the duct.

     In addition to the lower opacity reading indicated above,  it should
be noted that the three meters are only reading smoke density across a
1.5 m (5 ft) path length (the length of the slot in the pipe).   Below is
a comparison of this length with duct and stack exit diameter for each
meter.

     Since the opacity is a function (logarithmic) of the path length,
the meters are only measuring a portion of the opacity when the slot
does not extend across the duct.  Also, since the ducts are all narrower
than the stack exit diameters, the opacity measured at the stack exit
would be greater than measured across the duct (all else being equal).
The following relationship relates opacities to varying path lengths:

                    Iog10 (1-0-,)        log1Q (1-02)
where 0, and 0ซ are opacities measured across distances d, and d~-  For
example, if the meter on Unit No. 3 was reading 10% opacity (across the
1.5 m slot), a meter across the duct (2.3 m) would be expected to read
15%, while 34% opacity would be expected at the stack exit (5.9).
These differences are significant and also indicate a case where the
meter would be reading below 20%, therefore not requiring a report to
State and Federal agencies, while the opacity at the stack would be
above the value that requires notification.  As indicated earlier, the

-------
120
 Lear-Siegler transmissometer corrects for this difference and reports
 exit opacity.

      In the case of Units No. 1 and 2 which exhaust to the same stack,
 the observed stack opacity would be a function of the opacities in each
 duct, but in all cases would be greater than the opacity from a single
 source.  The relationship is given by the equation:
                log (1-Oj) + log (1-02)  =  log (1-0S)
                        d~T^                 d;

 where 0,, Op and 0  are the opacities recorded on Units 1 and 2, and
 the opacity of the stack and d,, dซ and d  are the meter path lengths
 1.5 m and the stack exit diameter 4.9 m, respectively.

      Using the above equation, it is possible to determine the re-
 lationship between the two opacity meters that will produce a 20%
 opacity at the stack as follows:

 The table shows that when either meter is reporting over 13% opacity,
 the stack exit opacity will be >_ 20% and that even with opacities as
 low as 7% on each meter this condition can occur.

-------
                                                                       121
     Even with proper operation and maintenance, the three meters
examined were out of calibration in that the span was foreshortened on
all three.  However, when this problem is corrected, the meters will
still not be making the measurement that is desired; i.e., the opacity
of the plume at the stack exit.  Thus, when the Company reports the in-
cidence of opacity greater than 20%, it will be occuring across the
1.5 m (5 ft) slot and not at the stack exit.  On the other hand,- as the
examples showed, 20% opacity may occur at the stack exit and go un-
reported because the meter is reading less across the slotted pipe.

     The deficiencies in the plant monitoring system can be corrected
by the following:

     1.  The three Bailey units should be calibrated using the 40%
opacity plate or a filter in that range.  This should be done by adding
the optical density of thn duct opacity to that of the plate or filter
to determine a total optical density.  When this total is converted to
opacity, the value should be set on the meter.  Because the meters are
presently out of calibration, this may initially require several
iterations since the duct opacity will be in error.

     2.  The reporting requirements for Units 1 and 2 should be modified
to account for the relationship shown above.  This may be done either
by installation of electronic circuitry designed to output the relation-
ships between the two instruments to produce a recording of combined
stack exit opacity or by use of the above table computing this relation-
ship.

     3.  The reporting requirements for Unit 3 should be modified to
account for the relationship between opacity across the 1.5 m (5 ft)
slot length and the 5.9 m (19.5 ft) stack exit diameter.  From the
relationship between opacity and path length, 6% opacity at the bolo-
meter will correspond to 20% at the stack exit (all else being equal).

 VISIBLE EMISSION OBSERVATIONS

      During the study period, visible emission observations (VEO) were
 randomly made on the three boiler stacks at Cherokee Station.  The
 VEO's were made by eleven different NEIC observers using EPA Method 9.
 A summary of the observations is given in Table 23.  Appendix B contains
 a listing of the VEO's for the individual stacks at Cherokee.  During
 the study period, 92 VEO's were made and the average opacity exceeded
 20% during 51 of those observations [Table 23].  Because the opacity
 regulations in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) has no time limita-
 tion, the individual readings were also summarized for the set of 51
 observations.  Of 1,374 individual readings, 949 exceeded 20% but
 were less than 40% opacity.

      During the July and August VEO's, an NEIC observer monitored the
                           j.
 plant operation and recorded unit load, fuel type, opacity meter
 readings and control equipment data.  This data was recorded before
 and after each VEO [Appendix A].  Only the process data was recorded
 during the October VEO's and were normally recorded after the observa-
 tions were made.  It was not possible to correlate the VEO readings
 with the Bailey opacity meter readings.  The readings did confirm the
 calibration tests results that indicated the stack opacities would be
 greater than the Bailey Meter readings, due to path length differences.
 The average stack opacities read by the NEIC observers were greater than
 Bailey meter readings.  Because the Bailey meters were found to be out
 of calibration, the VEO's were not compared to calculated stack opaci-
 ties.  It is recommended that once the deficiencies in the opacity
 monitoring system are corrected, that actual VEO's be compared to the
 calculated stack opacities to ensure that the meters are accurately

       VIII.  PARTICULATE CONTROL SYSTEM RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT
     Before any discussion of alternatives to improve system reliability
is presented, there are a number of related topics that should be re-
viewed.  Some consideration must be given to the ultimate reliability
goal to be attained.  Thought must be given to how various options for
improving reliability are to be evaluated.  It must also be recognized
that economics and redundancy will have a large impact on reliability
considerations.

     A determination of required system reliability is of primary im-
portance.  There are a number of ways of expressing system reliability
but normally it is done on the basis of percent boiler on-line time.
An "acceptable" percent reliability will vary and depend on, among
other things, the specific application, and revelant SIP regulations
as interpreted by the administering agencies.  Ninety percent relia-
bility is considered to be achievable for powerplant flue gas desul-
furization processes and is also acknowledged to be within the limits
of particulate removal technology by most particulate control equipment
manufacturers.  The State of Indiana requires 95% reliability for
meeting their particulate regulations.

     A method is also needed to gauge how various modifications will
affect reliability.  If the necessary reliability component data is
available, it is possible that reliability analysis techniques pioneered
in the nuclear industry could be applied to particulate control systems.
For example, when reasonable estimates of mean time to failure and mean
repair times of critical equipment can be made, then a fault tree analy-
sis can be conducted and quantitative comparisons can be obtained.
Otherwise, reliability analysis must be left to qualitative engineering
judgments which are often subject to extensive debate and disagreement.

-------
126
     Economics will be an important part of comparing control  plan al-
ternatives.  Any system can be upgraded to provide 99.9%+ reliability.
The cost of that system, however, may be prohibitive.  Although eco-
nomics were not evaluated in this study, such effects must be  considered
in any further analyses.

     Redundancy will be a key factor in achieving consistent operation
of any particulate control system.  Equipment used in near continuous
service and exposed to dusty environments, variable temperatures and
corrosive conditions will eventually break down.   Therefore, to achieve
reliable operation under such circumstances, it is necessary to provide
spares for critical equipment components.  The problem is in determining
which are the critical components.  Some of the areas of improvement  are
discussed below.
SCRUBBER IMPROVEMENTS

     There are numerous areas for improvement suggested from the scrub-
ber evaluation.  In this section, only those changes which are con-
sidered to have a significant impact on scrubber reliability are pre-
sented.  These  include:  adding spare scrubber capacity,  replacing the
direct reheat systems with indirect reheat, adding spare recirculating
pumps, providing for more frequent inspection and cleaning of those
scrubbers that don't have spares, improving the mist eliminator design,
improving the mobile packing design, and providing an enclosure for all
scrubber sections.

     The addition of spare scrubber modules would have a very significant
effect on reliability.  Provision for spare modules would  allow for a
scheduled maintenance program in which modules would be routinely taken
offline for cleaning and repair.  A spare module would also allow for
switching modules on- and offline when emergency repairs were required.

-------
                                                                      127
     On those units with direct reheaters,  improvement in  scrubber
availability would be realized if the direct reheaters were replaced
with indirect reheaters.  The in-line tubes are subject to plugging and
corrosion which is highly dependent on upstream scrubber and mist elimi-
nator conditions.  The ability of indirect  reheaters  to stay in  service
is much less dependent on such conditions.   As  an added advantage, in-
direct reheat air fans can be used to provide fresh  air to scrubber
sections during maintenance, reducing the need  for tight isolation
damper shut offs.

     Adding spare recirculation pumps is considered  very important in
improving operation of single-pump scrubber sections.  When a recircula-
ting pump is out of service in a single-pump section, the  section must
be taken off line or operated under very reduced capability.  Adding
spare recirculation pumps to a scrubbing section which has three operating
pumps is less critical.

     Increased frequency of inspection and repair must be  considered  as
a potential alternative for improving reliability on Units 1 and 3.
PSCC's current maintenance practices and thoroughness in performing
maintenance does not appear to be improper.  The problem occurs  when
scrubber instrumentation does not always indicate when scrubber  internal
problems are occurring.  Detection of such problems then requires frequent
visual inspections.  Unfortunately, the practicality of frequent visual
inspections on a base-loaded plant is questionable.   Furthermore, the
required frequency at which inspections must be made is affected by  the
quality of the coal fired, the operation of the plant, the operation  of
the ESP's, etc.  An optimal inspection frequency will be different under
different conditions.

     PSCC is currently attempting to improve the operation of the
scrubber system by improving the mist eliminator design.  The success of
this effort will depend on how scrubber operations affect  new design

considerations, and how the mist eliminator tests are being conducted.
Any program of this type must be considered a research effort and will
require time for adequate tests to be run and evaluated.  It is probable
that the Company will have to resort to major mist eliminator modifi-
cations, such as installing two horizontal mist eliminator stages or a
single vertical mist eliminator stage, to markedly reduce mist entrain-
ment.

     The improvement of the scrubber operation is very significantly
affected by the type of packing used in the scrubbers, and PSCC has
expended considerable effort in this direction.  They have not tested
stationary packings; however, and in view of success of stationary
packings observed in other related applications, this appears to be an
area which should be thoroughly investigated.  As in the case of im-
proving mist eliminator design, a research and development effort is
required and additional time will be needed for proper evaluation.

     Enclosing the scrubbers on Units 1 and 3 would reduce down time due
to freezing lines.  This has proven effective on the Unit 4 scrubbers.


ESP IMPROVEMENTS

     The evaluation of the precipitators was hampered by not knowning
the flow of gas conditioning agent to the boiler off-gases.   The first
area of improvement should be to add flow monitoring devices to monitor
the SO, flow to each of the units (including Unit 3), then an evaluation
program must be undertaken to determine the effectiveness of the gas
conditioning on ESP efficiency.  Once this is done, the operation of the
ESP may be inproved to the point of meeting design efficiencies.  Major
modifications would need to be undertaken to significantly improve the
collection efficiency of the ESP's and thus reduce the particulate
loadings to the scrubbers and to the stack in the case of Unit 2.  These

-------
                                                                      129
would include adding more electrical  sections,  increasing collection
plate area, and upgrading the automatic control  systems.   Adding more
electrical sections would increase the power input to the ESP's and
provide for higher corona power and current densities.   This would also
provide for a more efficient and reliable precipitator since a smaller
portion of the precipitator would have to be taken out of service when
broken wires are changed.  Enlarging the precipitators by increasing the
plate area would probably be the most expensive way of increasing the
efficiencies of the precipitators, since this would essentially be the
same as adding a new precipitator to the existing system.  The existing
automatic controls are of the saturable core reactor type and are
typically slow in responding to voltage changes.  This is especially
critical if excessive sparking occurs and the controls do not respond
fast enough to prevent corona wires from burning out.  This was not ob-
served during the study but may be a problem if higher power inputs are
wanted.

     The previously discussed improvements were based on evaluations
made on the existing participate control equipment.  Other alternatives
not evaluated in this report, include replacing the existing equipment
with high efficiency (+99%) precipitators or replacing the scrubbers
with baghouses.  These options should also be considered when evaluating
a program for improving reliability.

Mr. Irwin L.  Dickstein
Director, Enforcement  Division
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Region VIII

Denver, Colorado 80203

     Attention:   Mr. Robert Gosik, NEIC

Dear Mr. Dickstein:

             Subject:   Request for Information,
                       42  U.S. 1857c-9(a)(ii)
                       Reference  8E-EL

Attached is our response to your  request of September 29,
1977, for particulate  emission information from outlet
tests of the four Cherokee Station electrostatic precipi-
tators.  The attachment complies  with your request to
include stack test summaries identified by NEIC during
the September 27 meeting.

These tests were performed using  various methods to
evaluate the amount of particulate emissions from the
electrostatic precipitators on each of the four Cherokee
units.  Test results for unit number 2 represent particu-
late loadings entering the stack.  Test results for units
number 1, 3 and 4 represent inlet grain loadings to the
scrubbers and do not represent stack particulate levels.
                                Srge P  Green,  Manager
                             Environmental Affairs and
                             Planning
