1. Name of the facility
- Dearborn Industrial Generation, LLC
2. Location
- 2400 Miller Road, Dearborn, MI
3. Distance from the US/Canada border
- Approximately 5 km
4. Type/size of the facility
- Electrical generation facility that operates three natural gas-fired turbines (approximately 170 MW each), three boilers (output capacity of 500,000 lbs of steam per hour), two open flares (approximate heat input of 480 MM btu/hr and 1292 MM btu/hr), and two diesel fuel-fired emergency generators.
5. Source of emissions
- Proposing to install one simple-cycle natural gas-fired combustion turbine generator at the facility. The proposed combustion turbine generator will be used for peak loads when demand for electricity is high. The proposed turbine will be rated up to 271 MW.
6. Type of fuel
- Natural gas
7. Type/quantity of mass emission rates
- Expected decreases after modification:
None
- Expected increases after modification:
