Multipollutant Control Research Facility
 Multipollutant Control Research Facility:
The combustor is used in developing flue gas cleaning technologies
for pollution control.
|
The recently constructed multipollutant control research facility (MPCRF) supports development of new flue gas cleaning technologies for stationary sources of air pollution closely simulating full-scale emission sources. The combustor is able to fire pulverized coal, distillate oil, and/or natural gas at 4 million Btu/hr, yielding flue gas flow at 300°F (150°C), entering into the MPCRF's wet and dry flue gas cleaning systems. This research aims to develop technologies that can simultaneously control NOx, SOx, particulate matter, and/or mercury. This is important research for multipollutant-control programs.
