Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative
- Name of the facility:
Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative
- Location:
Rogers City, Presque Isle County, MI
- Distance from the US/Canada border:
about 50 km
- Type/size of the facility:
Installation of 600 MW solid fuel-fired power plant at existing Oglebay Norton quarry property
- Source of emissions:
Boilers
- Type of fuel:
Primary Fuel: • Mainly Powder River Basin coal (low sulfur) with a blend of up to 70% by Btu of petroleum coke (pet coke). Also coal from Canada and other US regions, if desired.
Secondary fuel: • 100% Illinois Basin coal (high sulfur content) On the basis of annual energy consumption, up to 20% by Btu biomass will be burned as supplementary fuel. - Type and quantity of emission increases:
NOx: • 0.07 lb/MMBtu (30-day avge) during normal operation - excluding periods at SSM - at loads greater than or equal to 70% load • 0.14 lb/MMBtu ( 30-day rolling avge) during low load operation, loads less than 70% load but greater than 50%
SO2: • 0.06 lb/MMBtu (30-day avge) during normal operation, excluding periods at SSM at loads greater than or equal to 70% load • 0.05 lb/MMBtu as an annual avge during normal operation; • 0.08 lb/MMBtu (30-day avge) during low load operation, excluding periods at SSM at loads less than 70% load but greater than 50% load • 0.10 lb/MMBtu (3-hr rolling avge) during normal operation low load operation, excluding periods at SSM at loads less than 70% load but greater than 50%
Filterable PM10: 0.010 lb/MMBtu
CO: 0.15 lb/MMBtu (30-day avg)
VOC: 0.0035 lb/MMBtu
H2SO4: 0.006 lb/MMBtu - Emission control technology
NOx: combustion control with overfire air + SNCR SO2: In situ SO2 capture followed by a polishing scrubber PM: in bed acid gas control for the condensable SO3, HCl and fluorides, followed by a fabric filter CO: good combustion practices VOC: good combustion practices H2SO4: fabric filter
