ABSTRACT
This paper and its companion (Consonni et al.
, 2004)
summarize the results of a major study (Larson, et al.
, 2003)
that assessed performances, emissions, costs and overall benefits
of black liquor gasification combined cycle (BLGCC)
technology for the U.
S.
kraft pulp and paper industry.
This
paper presents analysis and estimates of the potential mill-level
air emissions and financial performance of future commercial
BLGCC systems described in technical detail in the companion
paper.
Also, potential regional and national impacts on energy
consumption and emissions are estimated under different future
BLGCC market penetration scenarios.
Emission estimates for SO2, NOx, CO, volatile organic
carbon (VOCs), particulate matter, total reduced sulfur (TRS)
and CO2 are developed based on detailed quantitative data for
Tomlinson furnaces and on extrapolation of gas turbine
emissions and other relevant data for BLGCC systems.
