Question

A 1000- MW thermal power plant has a fuel consumption rate of 200 g/kWh.

The fuel oil used has the following constituents: sulfur: 2.5%, particulates: 1%, and nitrogen 0.1%. It is assumed that during the combustion process, 90% of the sulfur is burnt. Calculate:

a. The amount of particulates emitted per day.
b. The amount of SO2 emitted from the stack per day.
c. The amount of sulfuric acid formed by the plant operation if only 2% of the sulfur content undergoes further oxidation to form the acid.

1W = 3.411Btu/hr
1hp = 746W = 2545 Btu/hr
Molecular weights: S = 32 gr, H = 1 gr, and O = 16gr, and Ca = 40gr
