Utility MACT - Likely Impact Webinar - Hot Topic Hour September 9, 2010
Issues discussed relating to the impact of the Utility MACT on power plant operators; the current status of the MACT rule making; the worst case scenario of emissions limits and required controls under the MACT; the key issues to be considered when developing a strategy to achieve compliance with the MACT; control technologies and equipment that can be utilized to achieve the expected emissions limits imposed by the MACT, and various other strategies that an operator could adopt.

Robert (Bob) Fraser, QEP, a Senior Technical Director for Power Generation Services within AECOM Environment, believes the proposed Boiler MACT is a prequel to the Utility MACT. Since the best utility units are better controlled than their industrial counterparts he expects a more stringent utility rule. If low CO levels are required because CO is a surrogate for organic HAPs then there may be a problem meeting NOx limits. Oxidation catalysts have not been proven for solid fuel applications with the possible exception of the Babcock regenerative catalyst for wood-fired boilers. Incinerators control dioxins using ACI, but with lower quantities of dioxinsit may be hard for the utility industry to achieve comparable percent efficiencies.

Biography of Robert Fraser - AECOM Environment - Hot Topic Hour September 9, 2010
BIO: Robert (Bob) Fraser, QEP, is a Senior Technical Director for Power Generation Services within AECOM Environment. He is a Mechanical Engineer with 33 years of experience (including ten years working in industry with solid fuel combustion systems). In addition to hundreds of BACT and RACT control technology studies, he has prepared successful 112(g) case-by-case MACT demonstrations for new PC and CFB boilers, as well as MACT compliance strategy projects for over 100 solid fuel-fired industrial boilers. Bob is currently leading AECOM’s national boiler and utility MACT consulting practice.

Robert (Bob) Fraser, Senior Technical Director at AECOM Environment, discussed AECOM’s experience to date with the boiler MACT. He indicated that no one plant is now demonstrating the ability to meet all the pollutant requirements. There is very little data on CO and dioxins. It may be necessary to install back end CO and dioxin controls. These could be quite expensive. Minimizing the time at which the gas is in the 800-460 degrees F range by quenching should be effective in avoiding dioxin formation, but this is not an option where downstream fabric filters are being operated. One big question is whether a source which switches fuels to meet the MACT would then be a “new MACT source.” If a new permit is required because of fuel switching, then it is very possible that the source would be considered “new.”

Utility MACT – Impact and Compliance Strategy Webinar - Hot Topic Hour February 17, 2011
The Utility MACT is moving forward and the proposal is being reviewed by OMB. It will require substantial investments over the next few years. This coincides with investments by industrial boiler owners and cement plants, so the available resources may be strained. Presentations on Thursday covered the regulations, the analysis required and the control technology.

Boiler MACT? - Prelude to Utility MACT by Robert Fraser, AECOM - Hot Topic Hour February 17, 2011
Robert (Bob) Fraser, QEP, Senior Technical Director for Power Generation Services at AECOM Environment, reported that the Utility MACT rule is likely to follow the form of the Industrial MACT rule which is now most likely to be issued on February 21st. EPA is using the same general procedures to develop both sets of standards. One of the concerns is the organics limits for both the Industrial and Utility MACT may be inversely rather than directly proportional to the CO. During startup and shut down there are high levels of CO and this could be a problem. It may be better to address dioxins and furans under work practice standards rather than limits.

Beneficial Byproducts of Coal Combustion and Gasification Webinar - April 28, 2011
A good discussion yesterday, April 28, 2011, covered flyash and FGD byproducts. One of the conclusions is that depending on the fuel and the proximity to byproduct users, there are attractive alternatives to limestone scrubbing. Another conclusion is that the disposal of any solids from power plants will be under greater scrutiny in the future

Lisa JN Bradley, Ph.D., DABT, Senior Toxicologist and Vice President Environment at AECOM, discussed “Perspectives on Health Risks Associated with Beneficial Re‐Use of Byproducts of Coal Combustion.” EPA stated in their June 2010 proposed rule for the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCRs) that their intention was to preserve the Bevill exemption for the beneficial use of CCRs. However, the preamble to the proposal was essentially an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking for the regulation of these uses. This contradiction was evident in testimony given by EPA at the recent hearing of the House subcommittee on Environment and the Economy on the McKinley bill (HR 1391). EPA’s Office of the Inspector General has also recently issued a report titled “EPA Promoted the Use of Coal Ash Products with Incomplete Risk Information.” Her talk provided encouraging results for risk assessments and risk-based evaluations for the beneficial uses of CCRs, and how EPA’s own CCR risk assessment can help inform the issue.
