1 Air Emission Control Technology UWM Air Pollution Meteorology Class November 20, 2007 Frances A. Hardrick We Energies

2 Overview Air Emission and Monitoring Project Specifics Careers

3 How Electricity Is Made

4 CEM in General Terms Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) Sample the Flue Gas - One of Two Ways Measure Directly at the Stack or Duct Extract Sample and Transport to Analyzing Equipment Log Results Electronically Store Data for Historical Record

5 What Drives Improvement? We Energies Emission Controls Influenced by Environmental Commitment and Governmental Regulations EPA Clean Air Act 1963/1970/1990 Consent Decree 2003 Performance Specification 11 (PS-11) 2004 Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) 2005

6 Clean Air Act EPA Clean Air Act 1963/1970/1990 Sets Limits on Air Pollutants Approves Plans for Reducing Air Pollutants Assists in Supporting Clean Air Progress

7 Consent Decree Agreement to Significantly Reduce Air Emissions From Coal-Fueled Plants Nitrogen Oxide (NO X ) Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 ) Particulate Matter (PM) Mercury (Hg) which was optional

8 PS-11 and CAMR Finalized Specifications and Test Procedures for Particulate Matter Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (PM CEMS) at Stationary Sources Finalized Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) and Specification and Test Methods for Total Vapor Phase Mercury CEMS in Stationary Sources
