8. Emission Control Technology

• fabric filter for PM/PM-10 and trace metals;
• fuel control by using a coal flux at minimum available sulfur concentration (0.32%) and dry scrubbing process;
• Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction system (SNCR) using urea/ammonia upon an optimization study, to control NOx;
• overfire air system and good combustion practice to control CO emissions;
• use of high temperature retention, exceeding 1700 degrees Fahrenheit for greater than 2 seconds residence time and good combustion practices to control VOCs, and also as State of Michigan T-BACT for the unregulated toxics, such as acrolein, acrylonitrile and formaldehyde, as well as dioxin and furans, under PSD regulations;
• vitrification process to minimize solid waste production, produce an inert product, and minimize metal emissions, such as arsenic, beryllium and lead.
