The University, in
support of seeking relief to
the continuous emissions
requirements of the current NOx SIP Call, offers the following comments
to the Board•
for their thoughtful consideration.
In September
1961, The Babcock and Wilcox Company (B & W), a manufacturer
of stoker boilers, responded to a bid solicited by
the Board of Trustees ofthe University
of Illinois.
This proposal was to furnish a 150 Mlb/Hr coal fired steam boiler for the
Urbana campus of the University of Illinois.
B & W also provided as an alternate bid, a
200 Mlb/Hr coal fired steam boiler.
These ratings were based on continuous operation.
The University selected the larger alternate and the boiler was installed at the
Abbott power plant in
1962.
As part of the installation, an owner’s manual that
documented the boilers specifications was provided.
Four pages of this manual have
been copied and are attached for reference as Exhibit A.
On page two of Exhibit A, two ratings are referenced forthe boiler operation:
a
two hour maximum peak rating of220 Mlb/Hr and a continuous rating of 200 MlbJLIr.
Using the continuous rating, the rating that the boiler was designed to operate over the
long term, the specifications indicate that a fuel quantity of 21,200 lbs of coal/hour
(Exhibit A, page 3, line 9) was the maximum rate of fuel input.
Furthermore, based on
the coal available from a mine in Vermillion County, Illinois, with a heat content of
11,500 BTU/lb (Exhibit A, page 4,
line
50),
the total heatinput of the boiler was designed
for 243.8 million BTU/Hr (21,200 lb/Hr X
11,500 BTU/lb).
This heat input is less than
the
250
million BTU required for inventory classification under the current NOx SIP
Call.
The Title V permit submitted to the Agency by the University was in error by
including the peak rating of the boiler as a nameplate
operation and not the continuous
rating as provided in the specifications.
If the Agency desires,
the University will submit
corrected documents reflecting this oversight to better reflect the true continuous heat
input of boiler #7.
Note that the Vermillion County mine,
that produced coal specified for boiler #7
in
1962, has since closed.
The coal available for use at Abbott for the past ten years has
been limited
to two suppliers
based in Illinois.
Attached for reference as Exhibit B
(existing coal supplier) and Exhibit C (previous coal supplier) are the coal analyses of the
two suppliers competing for the University business.
In both cases,
the heat content is
less than
11,500
BTU/lb (Exhibit B
10,597 BTU/lb
—
Exhibit C
11,074
BTU/1b)
originally specified by the boiler manufacturer.
Consequently,
based on the boiler input
rate and because of the boiler grate size and fire box dimensions, this lower quality coal
will never provide enough heat input to exceed the 250 million BTU/Jlr threshold
provided under the current NOx SIP Call.
It is unfortunate the University did not correct this oversight prior to the NOx SIP
Call,
but it is the expressed desire of the University to have this rating corrected in the
Agency’s inventory prior to finalization of this rule.
The University believes that as long
2
as the NOx budget of the State
is not affected, then this adjustment could be possible
pursuant to the precedent
set and described under the rule revision found in the Federal
Register (Dec. 21,
2000, Volume
65,
Number 246).
The Board has heard testimony of
another entity requesting additions to
the inventory and this adjustment provides an
opportunity
to
accommodate this entity.
