Wolverine drops Plans for Coal-fired CFB Power Plant in Michigan

Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative has dropped its plans to build a 600 MW CFB coal-fired power plant in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula. Wolverine first proposed the plant in 2006 and received state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approval in 2011. Environmentalists have been fighting the plan. Ken Bradstreet, governmental affairs consultant for the project, said, "We wanted to see what the new proposed rules would be from the EPA. They came out this fall, and we had a chance to analyze them. It appeared to us that they were not going to allow a coal plant to be built. It's that simple." While Bradstreet wasn't sure when the proposed limit would be finalized, Wolverine's permit to build the power plant expires in mid-2014. With all the steps required before breaking ground, the cooperative's time to make a decision had run out.

Eggborough will not convert to Biomass-firing after denied Government Subsidies

The owner of Eggborough power station in the UK is halting a £750 million plan to convert the 2,000 MW coal-fired power plant to run on biomass after the project was left off the list for early support under a government program designed to drive green energy investments. However, Energy and Climate Change Minister Ed Davey believes Eggborough might still be in line for support in 2014 and could potentially apply to be considered again towards the end of next year. Eggborough, which supplies four percent of the UK's electricity, had planned the switch from coal to biomass in response to tightening environmental legislation and rising carbon taxes. The company said the project is ready to start January 6, 2014 with investment and key engineering and construction contracts already in place. Eggborough's exclusion from the program means the project "is not in a position to move forward." It has already suspended a £17 million preliminary supply contract and added work to keep Unit 2 online is "no longer economic" and would not go ahead as planned. Unless the situation changes, Eggborough said Unit 2 will shut down in September, removing 500 MW of capacity from the UK grid. Eggborough chief executive Neil O'Hara said: "Unless a viable solution is found with government, the most likely outcome now is that Eggborough will no longer be supplying electricity to the grid beyond 2015. Impending EU regulation and the escalating impact of the carbon price floor mean this is unfortunately the rational economic conclusion based on the information we have available at this time."

NUCLEAR

Indonesia Plans Sites for Nuclear Power Plant

Gas Turbine Expenditures to Exceed $106 Billion In 2014

Suppliers of gas turbine systems and components will generate revenues of $75 billion in 2014. Another $31 billion will be spent for operating and maintenance. This is the latest forecast in McIlvaine Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Gas Turbine Capital Expenditures in 2014 ($ Billions)
Turbines	22
Air Intake Systems	4
Emission Control	5
Heat Recovery	10
Pumps	0.8
Valves	1.8
Balance Of Plant Including Installation	31.4
Systems Total	75

The largest expenditure will be for the turbines. However, heat recovery is a growing portion of the total as more operators elect the combined cycle mode. Dry cooling is also becoming more popular. There is a higher capital cost associated with dry cooling than with wet cooling even when the water treatment is taken into account.

The chart above does not take into account revenues received from ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M). The cost of replacement air filters is significant. Replacement catalysts are another ongoing expense. Ammonia for NO_x reduction, polymers for water treatment and other chemicals for corrosion control and scaling prevention result in significant expenditures for chemicals.

The installed base is the equivalent of 1.4 million MW. Fixed O&M costs based on $13/kW/yr will be $18 billion. Variable O&M costs based on $3.60/MWh x 3,000 hrs average will be $13 billion. The total expenditure by utilities, gas and oil producers and other gas turbine operators will be $106 billion in 2014.

HOT TOPIC HOUR

“Selecting FGD Scrubber Materials” was the Hot Topic on December 19, 2013

It is vital to select the correct materials for the FGD system in order to minimize corrosion and abrasion. There are big differences among materials in terms of cost and performance. Three experts provided insights on the options.

Ed Wesson, Specialist in Composite Corrosion Applications Engineering at AOC Resins, explained that composites are very successful in slurry applications and flue stack liners in coal-fired power plants and are now being used for major structural elements too. The FRP resin supplier is a chef who puts in the right ingredients for success. He adds inorganics to provide abrasion resistance and has to balance fire retardance against corrosion impacts. But with the right recipe, FRP has the following advantages:

No Electrochemical Corrosion
High Strength and Stiffness for Low Weight
Tailored Mechanical Properties
Tailored Corrosion Resistance
Ease of Repair/Rework

James Crum, Consultant at Special Metals, covered crevice corrosion and repair solutions with cladding as well as some options for super austenitic as opposed to high nickel material. The problems with 2205 have been resolved by substituting other materials. High nickel alloys solve the problem but they are expensive. Super austenitic alloys are less expensive but equally corrosion resistant. Here are two power plants that successfully used the alloy:

FGD Chimney Flue in North Dakota – Like their counterparts at Arizona Public Services, (APS) the FGD project team at Great River Energy selected alloy 27-7MO plate for construction of ducting and the chimney flue at the Coal Creek Station in Underwood, ND. Their reasoning was similar to that of the APS team ... alloy 27-7MO offered corrosion resistance adequate for the application at a significant cost savings over alloy C-276. SMC supplied over 200,000 lbs. of alloy 27-7MO plate through the exclusive distributor for alloy 27-7MO products, Corrosion Material, Inc. Like the APS project, Custom Steel Fabrication formed the plate and welded it with INCO-WELD filler metal 686CPT.

FGD Chimney Flue in Arizona - Alloy 27-7MO plate was used for construction of the flue for the chimney for the FGD system at the Arizona Public Service’s (APS) Cholla Station. APS opted for alloy 27-7MO over alloy C-276 as a cost control measure. Alloy 27-7MO was judged to offer performance equivalent to alloy C-276 for this application at a significant cost savings. Over 100,000 lbs. of plate was fabricated by Custom Steel Fabrication in Columbia, TN. All welding was done with INCO-WELD filler metal 686CPT. Despite upset conditions during initial system start-up, after over two years service the flue condition is excellent with no evidence of corrosion.

Luis Granes, International Sales Manager Sauereisen Inc., covered a range of material linings for FGD shells and components. His company offers

§ Inorganic mortars

§ Inorganic refractories with an organic membrane

§ Organic epoxy and vinyl ester linings

The inorganic mortars (gunite) and the inorganic refractories (brick) are used in the stack. The organic linings are used in the scrubber duct work. The Chinese have opted for organic linings due to the speed at which they can be installed.
