Problem-3: Consider a thermoelectric power plant of total capacity of 1300 MW with a load factor (or annual capacity) of 75.5 percent and an efficiency of 42 percent. Determine the total annual amount of particulates, CO,, CO, NO,, and SO, if milled peat is the fuel source. The ultimate analysis and calorific value of milled peat is as follows: Moisture Ash Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Sulphur Oxygen Calorific value 6.8% 48.5% | 2.6% 50% 1.6% 1.5% 16.6% 22.5 MJ/kg Assume 92 percent of ash is as fly ash or particulates, using an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with an efficiency of 97.5%, compute the emission rate of particulates. If particulates are reduced by flue gas filters with an efficiency of 97%, compute the emission rate of particulates.
