Presented to: BR-1845 EPRI Mega Symposium 2010 August 30 - Sept. 2, 2010 Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. Introduction through a pair of regenerative Ljungstrom air preheaters, before passing through a cold-side electrostatic precipitator Lower Colorado River Authority’s (LCRA) Fayette (ESP) and then approximately 95 to 99% of the flue gas is Power Project – Unit 3 (FPP3), located near La Grange, treated in a WFGD system. The treated flue gas is mixed Texas, was completed in 1988. The original wet flue gas with bypassed flue gas and then emitted from the station desulfurization (WFGD) system design was to reduce sulfur through a dry chimney. dioxide (SO2) by approximately 90% across the absorbers, while burning high-sulfur Texas lignite and bypassing up to 20% of the flue gas.
