Benefit The use of LNB decreases the amount of NOx formation at the facility and therefore may help facilities meet state RACT or BA CT (40 CFR 52) requirements. Additionally, this technology may help facilities meet standards of performance for industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units in 40 CFR 60, Subpart Db. A decrease in a facility s NOx emissions may decrease the possibility that a facility will meet the Nox emission threshold for an air permit under 40 CFR 70 and 71.

Historically, end users have asked SRV suppliers to control the noise of the valve during opening, in particular on boilers and large steam-generation units. Silencers have historically been the solution, mainly on steam applications. In normal process applications, the use of silencers is not yet very common (Figure 8.1).

Federal New Source Performance Standards for control of SO2 from power plants are applicable to electric utility steam-generating units that are capable of firing more than 73 MW (250 million Btw h l heat input of fossil fuel and for which construction or modification was commenced after September 18,1978. This regulation was proposed in the Federal Register, Vol. 43. No. 182, TUesday, Sept. 19,1978. The 520 ng/J limit applies to solid fuels. The notation MWe should be read as megawatts of electricity. 

Because of their complexity, the U.S. environmental laws and revisions of various performance standards for industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units must be studied in detail to ascertain how they apply to existing... 

Several additional factors must, however, be examined before we can reach a final conclusion. The first is the rate at which control technology can be commercially installed. Forty per cent of the coal- and oil-fired utility and industrial capacity indicated in Table IV, extrapolated to 1975, implies that nearly 20,000 coal- and oil-fired steam generating units consuming about 7.0 X 10 Btu annually (approximately equivalent to 150,000 MW capacity) could conceivably require effluent control. At an average incremental control cost of 30jft/MM Btu, a yearly... 

In 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued two reports on Hg and its effects on public health to the U.S. Congress. The first of these reports, the Mercury Study Report to Congress (EPA 1997a,b,c), assessed the source and amount of Hg emissions in the United States, the detrimental effects of Hg on humans and wildlife, and the feasibility of control technologies. The second report, the Study of Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions from Electric Utility Steam Generating Units. Final Report to Congress (EPA 1998), looked specifically at emissions from utility companies and cited Hg as a major contaminant.

ACID CLEANING - The process of cleaning the interior surfaces of steam generating units by filling the unit with dilute acid accompanied by an inhibitor to prevent corrosion and by subsequently draining, washing, and neutralizing the acid by a further wash of alkaline water. 

ONCE-THROUGH BOILER - A steam generating unit usually operated above the critical pressure in which there is no re-circulation of the working fluid in any part of the unit.
