Based on the results of the TDF tests at Rock River and other WP L (Alliant) stations, the Edgewater Generating Station of Alliant Energy fires TDF at low percentages to avoid precipitator problems [30]. 

Our initial, small models of an isolated cellulose chain ranged from the dimer (cellobiose) to the octamer. The dynamics of these fragments have thus far been simulated only in vacuum, using different potential energy functions such as those of MM2(85) (9) and AMBER (10), with and without contributions from electrostatic terms and hydrogen bonds, etc. (The program DISCOVER, customized for carbohydrates and for operation on the Alliant FX/80 computer, has been used (12).) Generally, the time span for the simulations has been of the order of several hundred picoseconds to 1 nanosecond.
