1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Renovo Energy Center, LLC (REC) proposes to construct a nominally rated 1,240 MW (net) dual fuel-
fired (natural gas and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)) combined cycle electric generating plant in
Renovo, Pennsylvania. The proposed REC facility will consist of two 1-on-1 power blocks that include a
Combustion Turbine Generator (CTG), Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), and a Steam Turbine
(STG) in line to produce electricity for distribution into the transmission grid system. Each combined
cycle system is intended to be fired on natural gas unless there is an interruption in supply. Additionally,
each HRSG is equipped with a natural gas-fired Duct Burner (DB) for supplemental steam production,
and the steam from the HRSGs is routed through the condensing STG. REC will utilize Air Cooled
Condensers (ACCs) for condensing the exhaust steam, which is an environmentally preferred method
when compared to a traditional wet cooling tower.
The proposed REC facility will also include two auxiliary boilers, one diesel-fired emergency generator, a
diesel-fired emergency firewater pump, and natural gas-fired fuel heaters. The HRSG DBs, the auxiliary
boilers, and fuel gas heaters will combust only pipeline quality natural gas. The emergency firewater
pump and emergency generator will utilize ULSD fuel.
In addition to the combustion devices, the REC facility will also have potential air emissions from
petroleum storage tanks, ammonia slip from Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process, and sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6) containing circuit breakers.
1.1 Site Location
REC’s proposed site is a 68-acre parcel located north-northeast of the Town of Renovo between Erie
Avenue and Industrial Park Road. The site is the location of the former PRR/Philadelphia & Erie railroad
car renovation facility.
The approximate UTM coordinates of the proposed site are 269.446 kilometers (km) Easting and
4,578.872 km Northing. The project will be located at a base elevation of approximately 670 feet above
mean sea level. The immediate project site consists of flat terrain in an east-west orientated river valley
with increasing elevated terrain to the north and south of the proposed site. Included in Appendix A is a
USGS topographical map with the project site location identified.
1.2 Process/Equipment Description
Appendix B includes a site plan with the proposed location of the buildings and equipment indicated.
REC is proposing to install and operate the following devices:
• Two GE 7HA.02 natural gas/ULSD fired CTGs (each with maximum heat input capacities of
3,541 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr) High Heating Value (HHV) when firing
natural gas, and 3,940 MMBtu/hr HHV when firing ULSD) with inlet evaporative coolers;
• Paired with each CTG, one condensing STG and one driven electric generator;
• Two HRSGs with supplementary natural gas-fired DBs, each with maximum heat input capacities
of 1,005 MMBtu/hr HHV;
• Two natural gas-fired auxiliary boilers (one for each power block), each with maximum heat
input capacities of 66 MMBtu/hr;
• One diesel-fired emergency generator rated at 1,500 kW (~14.3 MMBtu/hr heat input);
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 2
• Three natural gas-fired fuel gas heaters, each with maximum heat input capacities of 15
MMBtu/hr and located 1.25 miles from the site at a pressure reducing station;
• One on-site natural gas-fired dew point heater with a maximum heat input capacity of 3.0
MMBtu/hr;
• One diesel-fired emergency firewater pump, rated at 250 hp (~1.8 MMBtu/hr heat input);
• Two aqueous ammonia aboveground storage tanks with a capacity of 26,000 gallons each;
• ULSD aboveground storage tank with a capacity of 3.5 million gallons;
• Two lube oil aboveground storage tanks each with a capacity of 20,000 gallons; and
• Twelve high voltage circuit breakers containing sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) within the facility’s
electrical switchyard.
While fuel suppliers are typically not selected at this point in the development process, REC has been
conducting a solicitation process for the firm supply of natural gas and has received offers from a number
of well-known suppliers. REC expects to select the preferred supplier and enter into a long-term supply
contract in approximately mid-2020. ULSD is available from several regional suppliers and will be
purchased on the spot market as needed. Fractional analyses for both fuels are provided in Appendix F.
1.2.1 Combustion Turbine Generators
Overview
The CTG is the main component of a combined-cycle power system. In the initial stage, air is filtered,
cooled by the evaporative cooler during warm weather, and compressed in a multiple stage axial flow
compressor. Compressed air and fuel are mixed and combusted in the turbine combustion chamber. Lean
pre-mix dry low-NOx combustors minimize Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) formation during natural gas
combustion. When combusting ULSD, water injection will be employed to reduce thermal NOx
formation. Hot exhaust gases from the combustion chamber are expanded through a multi-stage power
steam turbine that results in energy to drive both the air compressor and electric generator.
In combined-cycle mode, the exhaust gas exiting the CTG is ducted to a boiler commonly known as a
HRSG where steam is produced to generate additional electricity in a STG. The natural gas fired DBs
located within the HRSGs are used for supplementary firing to increase steam and electrical output.
Design Considerations
To maximize electrical generation efficiency, the STG has been designed with advanced 3D
aerodynamics and improved sealing to minimize leakages. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
techniques were applied to inlet and exhaust regions to minimize losses. Optimized steam path design and
development of larger/more efficient LP last stages were customized to particular applications to
minimize exhaust losses, and advanced airfoil manufacturing was used to realize efficiency gains.
Steam Bypass
REC proposes a cascade type steam bypass, which will be designed to control the pressure and facilitate
the STG startup. As pressure initially builds in the HRSG during CTG start-up, the steam generated in the
HRSG will be routed to the ACCs until the steam conditions meet the requirements to start the STG. The
steam bypass system and the decoupling of the STG by a clutch allows the CTG to start rapidly to
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 3
Minimum Emissions Compliance Load (MECL) and then on to full load without the traditional hold
times required by the STG in its warming cycle, thereby limiting startup emissions.
In instances of rapid STG load rejection, the 100-percent capacity cascaded bypass system will allow the
CTG to operate at full load (with evaporative coolers turned off) by diverting 100-percent of the high
pressure and reheat steam flow at rated pressure and 100 percent of the low-pressure steam flow at rated
pressure to the ACC. This will allow a more controlled ramp down of the CTG following such an event.
This steam bypass arrangement supports GE’s Rapid Response Lite plant feature, which is intended to
minimize plant emissions on Start-up and Shutdown (SUSD). The GE Rapid Response Lite plant breaks
the links normally existing between the STG and steam cycle during startup to allow the CTG to start and
load at its own maximum rate, thereby reducing emissions relative to a design that requires a number of
hold points during times of sub-optimum emissions.
Inlet Air Filters
GE provides a self-cleaning filter house with weather hood and moisture separator/coalescing filters
inside the weather hood. The moisture separators are 90% efficient for 50-micron water droplets. The
coalescing filter will also act as a pre-filter with a filtration efficiency of G3 as per EN 779-2002. Final
filter's filtration efficiency is rated F8 as per EN 779-2002. Inlet air filter specifications are provided in
Appendix I.
Operations
Steady-State
REC’s CTGs will operate at very low NOx levels when operating in steady state conditions using dry
low-NOx combustors, proper operation, and SCR technology.
A combined-cycle turbine power train generates power from the CTG while simultaneously recovering
and transferring high temperature exhaust energy to the STG to increase power production and overall
unit efficiency. The benefits of employing combined cycle technology/design is the relatively short SUSD
time and ability to quickly change loads as compared to boiler systems used for generating electricity, and
the significantly higher generating efficiency as compared to a gas turbine in simple cycle mode.
The CTGs/HRSGs will also contain an oxidation catalyst system for reducing exhaust gas emissions of
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The catalyst promotes the oxidation
of CO and VOCs to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and water as the exhaust gas passes through the oxidation
catalyst bed. There are no reactants used in the catalyst system, the oxidation to CO2 and water
spontaneously occurs.
Startup and Shutdown
During periods of SUSD the emissions from the CTGs are not controlled to the levels of steady state
operation due to flue gas and catalyst temperatures not being high enough to effectively operate the SCR.
Thus, SUSD NOx emissions will be higher than steady state load conditions. The higher, uncontrolled
NOx emissions during SUSD cannot be avoided.
GE’s site specific SUSD procedure for REC is not available at this stage of project development but will
be finalized following delivery of the equipment and prior to initial commissioning. However, the REC
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC

Plant will employ GE’s Rapid Response Lite auto-start sequence during startup (the same technology as
is being deployed on the Lackawanna, Moxie Freedom, and Birdsboro plants in PA). GE’s Combined
Cycle Rapid Response technology uses a clutch to decouple the CTG from the STG during start-up and
loading sequences. The CTG can be started and brought to full speed, synchronized to the grid and reach
full load while separated from the STG. During this process the steam generated in the HRSG is bypassed
around the STG to either the cold reheat or directly to the ACC. When suitable matching of steam to
metal temperatures is reached the STG can be brought to speed, coupled and loaded. Other features in
Rapid Response fast start plants are the use of an auxiliary boiler that establishes STG steam seals and
sparging prior to start-up, the use of stack dampers to reduce heat loss from the HRSG during shut-down
and controls to coordinate and enhance plant startup sequences. All of these will be included in REC’s
design.
Prior to initiating startup, the plant is in a ready-to-start condition, i.e. all plant equipment which is needed
to be operating during startup is in a no-fault condition, operational and/or in automatic mode. Water
levels and pressures in drums, hotwell and other vessels are within range and/or not in an alarmed
condition. STG sealing steam is on and condenser vacuum is within the range required for STG startup.
CTG start-up consists of firing the unit and accelerating to full speed (no load), then synchronizing and
loading the unit to minimum load quickly where exhaust levels meet compliance emission levels. Once
the CTG has commenced operation the start of the HRSG consists of warming the unit with the CTG
exhaust flow, quickly bringing the catalyst temperatures to operating level. Since the STG is not a
contributor to emissions, its startup is not so time sensitive. After warming and matching steam to unit
temperatures the STG is accelerated to full speed, the clutch is engaged and the unit is loaded. To avoid
thermal stress, various components of the STG must be brought up to temperature prior to normal STG
operation. In a combined cycle system, the amount of time since previous operation of the STG and
HRSG factors into the temperature of components and dictates the duration of the startup period.
Shutdown consists of reducing CTG load to the desired level and then cutting off all steam to the STG,
then the clutch is disengaged to separate the CTG and STG. The CTG is maintained above MECL until
disconnected from the STG, after which it continues to unload until its electrical output is near zero, then
the breaker is opened and the unit coasted down. The fuel is shut off at approximately 40% speed.
The GE Rapid Response Lite Plant reduces emissions through the decoupling of the STG allowing the
CTG to be quickly unloaded and tripped without the usual concern of protective operation requirements
of the STG. The advantage of Rapid Response Lite relative to conventional start-up is the lower amount
of time spent at low loads, resulting in higher efficiency, less fuel burned and reduced criteria pollutant
emissions during startup.
The event definition of SUSD is taken from the manufactures document “Combined Cycle Systems
Engineering Plant Startup and Shutdown Emissions for 7HA.02 Single Shaft Rapid Response Lite”
(included in Appendix E), which is consistent with the Federal and state definition; Startup is defined as
the time from CTG fire to HRSG stack emissions compliance. Shutdown is defined as the time from the
time that the CTG drops below MECL during shutdown to termination of fuel flow to the CTG.
For the purposes of this application, the following summarizes the time periods that define startups:
• Hot Start = unit has not operated in 8 hours or less
• Warm Start = unit has not operated in between 8 to 72 hours
• Cold Start = unit has not operated in over 72 hours

Monitoring and Combustion Controls
Each Power Block will be equipped with GE’s Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostic System (AM&D)
(see Appendix G), which will monitor the performance of the generating equipment. In addition, each
power block will be equipped with a Continuous Emission Monitor System (CEMS) that will evaluate the
emission performance of the CTGs and SCR/oxidation catalysts.
Both the AM&D system and the CEMS have on-site monitors for use by operations personnel in
optimizing plant performance and identifying required maintenance of the plant. Performance is
monitored using incoming measured data as inputs to performance calculations which are compared to
target values to assess proper operation of the systems. Heat balance of the gas turbine produces
additional information regarding the conditions of the ingoing and outgoing streams. This creates detailed
information about the current operating point that is consistent with the mass and energy balances of the
equipment. A performance audit can be conducted comparing current performance against expected
performance based on design and tests. The AM&D system is also monitored, real time, by GE at their
Monitoring and Diagnostic Center in Atlanta, GA. GE employs over 50 engineers at their center to
continuously monitor customer equipment to help optimize performance and improve maintenance.
GE provides an industry proven Dry Lox NOx combustion system to minimize emissions during
operation. Combustion controls are tuned at the time of plant startup and periodically thereafter.
Appendix H contains documentation on the combustion system and the controls used to monitor the
performance of the power block configuration.
Emission Control Equipment
As previously stated, each CTG will be equipped with SCR for control of NOx emissions, and an
oxidation catalyst to control CO and VOC emissions.
The make and model of the specific SCR to be used is not available at this stage of project development
and will not be determined until GE procures this equipment during project execution. GE typically
utilizes honeycomb vanadium/titanium-based catalysts (or equivalent) from a qualified vendor such as
Cormetech, Haldor Topsoe or Hitachi Zosen. Appendix K contains a representative manufacturer’s data
sheet for the SCR unit.
The make and model of the oxidation catalyst to be used are not available at this stage of project
development and will not be determined until GE procures this equipment during project execution. GE
typically utilizes oxidation catalysts from Emerichem, BASF, JMI, or equivalent. Appendix K contains a
representative manufacturer’s data sheet for the oxidation catalyst unit.
Monitoring
The following monitoring will be provided:
• Differential pressure gauges across the SCR catalyst and across the oxidation catalyst with test
ports located upstream and downstream of the oxidation catalyst and SCR catalyst.
• Thermocouples upstream of the oxidation catalyst and thermocouple downstream of the
Ammonia Injection Grid (AIG)/upstream of the SCR catalyst. The differential pressure and
temperatures are not actively controlled with either the gas turbine controller or the Distributed
Control System (DCS) and there is no set point for any control loop.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 6
The oxidation catalyst module will be integrated in a suitable temperature window of the HRSG and will
be a gas-tight, self-supporting steel structure. The performance of the catalyst is monitored, but not
actively controlled.
Please see Appendix K for additional information on the active ammonia injection control for the SCR.
Maintenance
Plant specific detailed maintenance and monitoring plans will be prepared during the construction phase
of the project by the plant operators, assisted by REC’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Contractor
and consistent with OEM requirements and specifications. These plans will be based on and derived from
the information presented below. All routine covered and unscheduled maintenance will be based on
OEM recommendations and prudent utility practices and implemented through a combination of Long-
Term Services Agreements (LTSA) with OEMs, and a software-based maintenance scheduling system
used by plant maintenance personnel. Additionally, the AM&D will be used to assess plant and
equipment performance on a real time basis to evaluate the need to modify maintenance schedules.
Maintenance for each REC power block and balance of plant emission source equipment will be managed
in three categories:
a. Routine Maintenance – Maintenance of a routine and daily nature, which will be performed by
plant site personnel in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
b. Covered Maintenance – Periodic maintenance that includes inspection, overhaul, repair, and
replacement of equipment, which will be performed by the OEM. Specific Equipment O&M
manuals will not be available from the equipment supplier until the equipment is delivered but
will be available prior to the scheduled start of commissioning of the units.
c. Unscheduled/unplanned Maintenance – Maintenance that is unscheduled or unplanned which
arises due to performance shortfalls, indications from AM&D systems or equipment failures will
be performed by the OEM and REC as provided in maintenance agreements.
Maintenance plans for the CTGs, inlet air filters, oxidation catalyst and SCR are provided in the following
appendices:
• Appendix J (GER 3620) brochure provides detail on maintenance planning, maintenance
inspections, and inspection intervals that are common to the GE 7HA.02 gas turbines being
utilized at REC.
• Appendix I (GEK1162969) instructions provides maintenance recommendations for the inlet air
system (starting on page 17). The power augmentation system is media type evaporative coolers
and the corrosive environment is C2 for the maintenance recommendations.
• Appendix K includes a 6-page white paper on Oxidation Catalyst, describing the physical and
chemical deactivation, operating limits, and catalyst maintenance and testing requirements, and a
13-page white paper on SCR Control Philosophy, describing operating theory, equipment
description, maintenance, maintenance schedule and performance evaluation.

1.2.2 Turbine Inlet Evaporative Coolers
During hot and humid ambient air conditions, REC will employ evaporative cooling to cool the air
entering the CTG by evaporating water sprayed into the air intake, immediately following the inlet filter.
A mist eliminator will prevent water droplets from reaching the turbine blades. The cooling of the inlet air
increases the density of the air entering the CTG resulting in increased power output capacity. CTGs are
volumetric processes that produce more power with more pounds of air entering the machine. The
evaporative cooler achieves this goal in the summer time by cooling the inlet air when ambient air
temperatures are high.
1.2.3 Heat Recovery Steam Generators with Duct Burners
REC will use two HRSGs, one for each CTG, which will utilize waste heat energy to increase electricity
production. The HRSGs systems extract heat from the exhaust of each gas turbine. The HRSG acts as a
heat exchanger to derive heat energy from the CTG exhaust gas to produce steam that will be used to
drive a steam turbine generator. Exhaust gas entering the HRSG at approximately 1,100°F will be cooled
to approximately 180 °F by the time it exits the HRSG exhaust stack. At times, steam production in the
HRSGs may be augmented using DBs that will be fired by natural gas. The proposed DBs will have a
maximum firing rate of 1,005 MMBtu/hr each.
REC’s SCR and oxidation catalysts will be installed within the HRSG to control NOx and CO,
respectively.
A CEMS for monitoring emissions of NOx, CO, NH3, and concentration of O2 or CO2 will be installed on
REC’s HRSG exhaust stack.
1.2.4 Steam Turbine Generator
Each power block will include a reheat, condensing STG designed for variable pressure operation. The
high-pressure section of the steam turbine receives high-pressure super-heated steam from the HRSGs,
and exhausts to the reheat section of the HRSGs. The steam from the HRSGs reheat section is supplied to
the intermediate-pressure section of the turbine, which expands to the low-pressure section. The low-
pressure section of the turbine also receives excess low-pressure superheated steam from the HRSGs and
exhausts to the condenser for cooling. At ISO conditions, REC’s steam turbine sets are designed to
produce up to approximately 176 MW of electrical output without duct firing, and 273 MW of electrical
output with full duct firing capability.
Additionally, the plant is expected to remain in emissions compliance in combined cycle mode down to a
range of 30 to 40 % of base load (reducing down to 30% load is ambient temperature dependent). The
plant will not utilize the steam bypass to operate in simple cycle mode other than during startup, steam
turbine trip or emergency operation, and in each case for only short periods of time. The plant will not
have a provision to bypass the CTG exhaust gas around the HRSG directly to the stack.
1.2.5 Auxiliary Boilers
The proposed facility will include two auxiliary boilers, one per power block. The auxiliary boilers
provide sealing steam to the steam turbine generator during cold start-up and to warm up the steam
turbine generator rotor. The auxiliary boiler steam will not be used to supplement the power generation of
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 8
the CTGs or steam turbine. The proposed boilers will be fired with natural gas with maximum heat input
ratings of 66 MMBtu/hr.
Make and model is not available at this stage of project development and will not be determined until
REC procures this equipment during project execution, however REC anticipates the boilers will be
Cleaver Brooks model NB-200D-50 or equivalent. The boilers will be equipped with ultra-low NOx
burners and no additional control devices. The boilers will only operate during the startup of their
respective power train and will not operate during normal plant operation. Appendix L contains
manufacturer data sheets and Appendix D contains maximum potential emission calculations. REC is
proposing to limit the annual operation of each auxiliary boiler to a total of 145,200 MMBtu/year. This
limit would not apply during the shakedown period authorized under the plan approval to provide
flexibility in the event that more startups or longer duration startups are required to shakedown the
facility. The requirement that the auxiliary boilers would only be operated during startup would be in the
plan approval to ensure that the auxiliary boilers are not operated longer than necessary. REC notes that
this heat input limitation is equivalent to 2,200 hours of operation at maximum firing rate per boiler in
any 12 consecutive month period, however REC is not proposing an annual limit in operational hours in
conjunction with the heat input limit.
Auxiliary boilers will be monitored using the OEM supplied control system which will be incorporated
into the overall plant DCS. Auxiliary boiler control parameters and alarms will be displayed in the main
control room, through the main enunciator system, and on the local control panel. The auxiliary boilers
will be operated in accordance with OEM guidelines including periodic testing and start-up to ensure
reliable operation that meets design parameters. Further, whether operating or not, routine maintenance as
specified in the OEM manuals will be performed by a combination of OEM, plant, and contractor
personnel.
The auxiliary boilers will have a programmable logic controller (PLC) based system for combustion
control, draft control, feedwater control, etc. with a trouble alarm to the DCS. Operating parameters such
as fuel flow, air flow, steam flow, steam pressure and temperature and any other parameters
recommended by the manufacturer will be monitored regularly to confirm that the boilers are operating at
their optimal level to maximize efficiency and minimize emissions. Fuel and air flow trends will be
reviewed and operating data such as fuel usage per month will be collected and reviewed to calculate
emissions, determine compliance, and to ensure that the boilers are operating properly. The boilers will be
tuned-up annually, which will include measuring CO and O2 levels in the exhaust and optimizing
emissions of CO.
1.2.6 Fuel Gas Heaters
REC’s proposed facility design includes fuel gas heaters. The heaters will be used to increase the
temperature of the incoming natural gas fuel to prevent freezing of the gas regulating valves under certain
gas system operating conditions. The fuel gas heaters will follow the pressure reduction stage and
individual gas lines will be piped and metered separately to the individual gas turbine controllers. The
fuel gas heaters will each have maximum heat input ratings of 15 MMBtu/hr and will be located
approximately 1.25 miles from the site at the pressure reducing station. At any given time, a maximum of
two heaters will be running. The third heater is for redundancy.
Make and model is not final at this stage of project development and will not be determined until REC
procures this equipment during project execution. However, the application is based on heaters
manufactured by Aether, and each will be equipped with a Power Flame burner with a maximum heat
input of 15 MMBtu/hr. Manufacturer specifications and maximum potential emission rates are contained
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 9
in Appendix L. Two heaters will operate up to 8,760 hours per year each and maximum potential
emission calculations are provided in Appendix D.
The fuel gas heaters will be monitored and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and industry practice pursuant to an O&M plan that will be finalized during the
construction of the project.
1.2.7 Dew Point Heater
In addition to the off-site fuel gas heaters, a Dew Point Heater (DPH) will be included in the plant’s fuel
gas conditioning system to ensure that the fuel gas temperature is above the dew point temperature to
remove excess moisture content. The DPH will have a maximum heat input rating of 3.0 MMBtu/hr.
The DPH will be monitored and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and
industry practice pursuant to an O&M plan that will be finalized during the construction of the project.
1.2.8 Diesel-Fired Emergency Generator
REC’s proposed facility will include one diesel-fired emergency generator rated at 1,500 kW to be
operated no more than 500 hours per year, including testing and maintenance hours. The emergency
generator will provide power to the plant during emergency situations to allow operation of critical
ancillary equipment (e.g. lube oil pumps, auxiliary cooling water pumps, water supply pumps, etc.). There
are no plans for the emergency diesel generator to provide power for black start, peak shaving or non-
emergency power.
Make and model is not available at this stage of project development and will not be determined until
REC procures this equipment during project execution; however, the generator engine for the basis of this
application is a Caterpillar 5312C diesel engine. The generator will only be used during plant
emergencies, if required, to bring the plant to a safe shutdown. Emissions will be maintained within limits
by proper operation and maintenance. The emergency generator control system will be PLC based and
will monitor, among other parameters, hours of operation, the voltage, current, engine speed, coolant
temperature and oil pressure when the engine is operating. Appendix L contains Caterpillar 5312C data
sheets that includes maximum potential emission rates. The generator will be limited to operating 500
hours per year, with up to 100 of those hours available for use during maintenance and testing operations.
Appendix D’s facility maximum potential emission estimates include the emergency generator’s
emissions.
Start-up and operation of the emergency generator will be incorporated into the plant DCS system, control
room and local control panel. All system alarms and performance parameters will be monitored through
the DCS and at the local control panel. Periodic testing and start-up of the system will be performed as
recommended by the OEM and in accordance with prudent utility practice. Plant personnel will perform
routine maintenance checks of the emergency generator; however, an authorized representative of the
manufacturer will perform all maintenance. Contractual requirements of the Utility Grid Interconnection
Agreement will be incorporated into the operation and maintenance of the emergency generator system.
The emergency generators will be monitored and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and industry practice pursuant to an O&M plan that will be finalized during the
construction of the project.

1.2.9 Diesel-Fired Emergency Fire Water Pump
The proposed REC project will include a 250 bhp diesel-fired fire water pump operated as a fire water
pump driver. The unit will be limited to 250 hours per year, including monthly testing and maintenance.
Make and model is not available at this stage of project development and will not be determined until
REC procures this equipment during project execution. However, the application is based on a Clarke,
Model JU6H-UFAD88. Emissions will be maintained within limits by proper operation and maintenance.
The fire pump control system will be PLC based with engine speed, hours operated, coolant temperature
and oil pressure among the parameters monitored when the engine is operating. The engine will combust
ULSD and will not be equipped with any add-on emissions controls. Appendix L contains representative
data sheets that includes maximum potential emission rates. It is anticipated the engine will be run weekly
for 30 minutes or less for testing purposes. Otherwise, the engine will be operated for emergency
purposes (loss of power) in the event of a fire where the fire pump requires operation. Appendix D
contains maximum potential emission estimates based on a limit of 250 hours per year.
The fire system pump will be operated and maintained based on OEM recommendations to ensure
reliable operation that meets system requirements. Engine maintenance will be performed based on time
interval (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) and run-hours as per manufacturer’s recommendations. All system
alarms will be incorporated into the plant DCS and monitored in the main control room and may be
monitored at the remote operations panel. System maintenance requirements will be per the OEMs and
prudent utility practice and incorporated into the plant maintenance database and system. Maintenance
will be performed by a combination of OEM, plant, and contractor personnel to ensure safe, reliable, and
compliant operation of the engine. NFPA requirements will be incorporated into all testing and O&M
procedures.
1.2.10 Fuel Oil Storage Tanks
The proposed REC project will include a 3.5-million-gallon ULSD aboveground storage tank to provide
fuel for CTGs for three days of operation at full load if natural gas supply is curtailed. One 2,500 gallon
and one 350-gallon ULSD storage tank will provide fuel for the emergency generator and fire pump
engine, respectively.
1.2.11 Aqueous Ammonia Storage Tank
REC will include two 26,000 gallon above ground aqueous ammonia storage tanks (one for each power
train) to provide ammonia for the SCR systems on the combined cycle CTGs.
1.2.12 Lube Oil Storage Tanks
REC will include two 20,000 gallon above ground storage tanks for lubrication oil used for the CTGs and
STGs.
1.2.13 Circuit Breakers
REC will have twelve high voltage circuit breakers within the facility’s electrical switchyard. Six circuit
breakers will contain 360 pounds of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and the remaining six circuit breakers will
contain 175 pounds of SF6. SF6 is a highly effective electrical insulating dielectric fluid used for
interrupting arcs and is superior to other dielectric fluids. SF6 is a greenhouse gas with a “global warming

PAGE 11
potential” of 22,800 on a 100-year time horizon, which means its impact as a greenhouse gas is 22,800
times greater than that of CO2.
REC’s circuit breakers will be designed as totally enclosed pressure systems with low potential SF6
fugitive emissions (equipment leaks). Leakage is expected to be minimal and equipment will be built to
low leakage design limits. The International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 62271-1 for new
equipment leakage is 0.5% per year.
REC will implement a SF6 leak detection program to minimize SF6 leaks. Alarm set points will be based
on manufacturer’s recommendations. When the alarm is triggered, it will be sent to the DCS or Utility
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The facility shall take corrective action as soon as practicable to fix the
circuit breaker units to a like-new state to prevent the emissions of SF6 to the maximum extent possible.
REC will maintain accurate records on the amount of SF6 dielectric fluid added to each circuit breaker
unit on a monthly basis. The date and time that each alarm associated with the circuit breaker is activated
and corrective action is taken to remedy the problem and the date the corrective action remedied the
problem.
1.3 Project Schedule
REC is submitting this initial application on or about December 27, 2019. REC anticipates commencing
actual construction in the third quarter of 2020. REC’s targeted dates for completing construction and
commercial electrical generation are January 2023 and April – November 2023, respectively.
1.4 Facility Maximum Potential Emissions Calculations
The maximum potential emissions from REC’s facility are primarily products of combustion from the
CTGs and duct burners. To a lesser extent, there will also be emissions from the auxiliary boilers, fuel gas
heater, emergency generators, emergency firewater pump, fuel storage tanks, and circuit breakers.
1.4.1 CTGs/HRSGs
Potential emissions of criteria pollutants from the power blocks vary depending on ambient air
temperature, relative humidity, and operating load of each unit. The CTGs and HRSG will also exhaust
greenhouse gases (GHG), i.e., carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. REC will calculate GHG
emissions as outlined in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart 98. The CTG manufacturer, General Electric (GE), has
provided maximum potential criteria pollutant emissions for various operating loads and ambient
conditions, which are summarized in Appendix D.
SO2 potential emissions are based on use of natural gas with a sulfur content of 0.4 grains per 100
standard cubic feet of gas.
CTGs and DBs maximum potential hourly emission rates ("worst-case" from all operating scenarios) for
each pollutant are listed in the table below.

REC is proposing to operate for up to 8,760 hours per year per power block, and is proposing only three
run-time limits on the various operational scenarios:
1. A limit of 500 hours of total SUSD events (including both natural gas and ULSD)
2. A limit of 760 hours of total ULSD operations (including both steady-state and SUSD events)
3. A limit of 40 hours of ULSD SUSD events
Thus, there is no limit on the natural gas steady-state operations (which is the lowest-emitting
configuration of the four basic operational categories). REC is proposing the aforementioned limits as a
very conservative estimate, which will provide the operational flexibility required to attract the investors
and lenders necessary to enable construction of the plant. The plant is being designed for baseload
dispatch and not as a peaking plant, however in light of the significant changes in the electricity market
over the past several years (combined with the fact that REC is a merchant plant and must be able to
respond to the needs of the market), these potential hours of SUSD emissions provide the operational
flexibility should electricity markets dictate the plant be called upon to start up and shut down more than
is currently anticipated. Current plans call for REC to interconnect the units to separate ISOs (one to PJM
and one to NYISO), each of which may have differing dispatch profiles leading to additional SUSDs than
if both units were dispatched to the same ISO. The total number of hours a facility estimates for SUSD is
a question of operating flexibility, not one of the level of control and should not impact control
technologies for a specific plant.
The worst-case annual potential-to-emit (PTE) scenario from REC’s power blocks results from the
following:
• 7,540 hours of natural gas steady-state operations
• 460 hours of natural gas SUSD events
• 720 hours of ULSD steady-state operations
• 40 hours of ULSD SUSD events
The following table summarizes the proposed REC project’s annual PTE from each of the four
operational scenarios for this worst-case scenario, for both power blocks combined.

1.4.2 Auxiliary Boilers, Fuel Gas Heaters, and Dew Point Heater
The maximum potential emissions of NOx, CO, and SO2 from the auxiliary boilers, fuel gas heaters, and
dew point heater were calculated based on the proposed LAER/BACT/BAT emission rates for natural
gas-fired boilers and heaters. The auxiliary boilers have heat input capacities of 66 MMBtu/hr each, the
fuel gas heaters’ heat input capacities are 15 MMBtu/hr each, and the dew point heater’s heat input
capacity is 3.0 MMBtu/hr. Maximum potential annual emissions for the boilers are based on 145,200
MMBtu/year each (equivalent to 2,200 hours each at maximum load), and for the fuel gas heaters are
based on 8,760 hours of operation for only two heaters, as three heaters will never operate
simultaneously. Maximum potential emissions for the dew point heater are based on 8,760 hours per year.
Maximum hourly and annual emissions for the devices are summarized in the following tables.

2.1 National and State Ambient Air Quality Standards
EPA has established primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six
air pollutants (ozone, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Particulate
Matter (including PM10 and PM2.5), and lead). Primary NAAQS are intended to protect public health
while secondary standards set limits to protect public welfare. The NAAQS promulgated by EPA have
been incorporated, by reference, as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s
(PaDEP) standards contained in Pa. Code Chapter 131. PaDEP ambient air quality standards include
standards for settled particulate (total), beryllium, fluorides, and hydrogen sulfide. Federal and State
Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) are summarized in Table 2.1-1 below.

Geographic areas where the concentration of a given pollutant is at or below the NAAQS are classified as
“attainment” areas for that pollutant. If an area exceeds the NAAQS for a given pollutant then the area is
considered a “nonattainment area”. Areas where there is insufficient monitoring data to determine if the
NAAQS is being met are designated as unclassifiable. For permitting determinations, the unclassifiable
areas are considered attainment areas. The site of the proposed Renovo Energy Center is located in the
town of Renovo in Clinton County. The current federal air quality classifications for the project area in
Clinton County are listed in Table 2.1-2 for each criteria pollutant. These designations were obtained
from 40 CFR Part 81. The project area is designated as attainment or unclassifiable for all criteria
pollutants. PaDEP does not monitor for settled particulate, beryllium, fluorides or hydrogen sulfide.
However, per discussions with PaDEP there are no concerns with attainment of the AAQS for these
pollutants in Clinton County.
The entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is located in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). The
relevance of attainment status and OTR is discussed in the proceeding sections.

2.2 New Source Review and Air Permitting
New air contaminant sources are required to obtain a plan approval prior to construction in accordance
with Pa. Code Chapter 127 of the PaDEP’s Air Resources regulations. The PaDEP’s and EPA’s process
for reviewing new sources of air pollution is the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program.
PaDEP’s NSR requirements are codified in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127. NSR is applied by pollutant and
depends on whether the area where a proposed facility is located is in attainment of the NAAQS for that
pollutant. A facility classified as a major source is subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) review if the area is in attainment of the NAAQS for a particular pollutant. A facility classified as
a major source is subject to Non-attainment Area (NAA) NSR if the location is not attaining the NAAQS
for a certain pollutant or, for ozone, is located in the OTR. Since the State of Pennsylvania is within the
OTR, NAA provisions are in effect statewide for major sources of NOx and VOC. A facility is subject to
minor new source review if emissions of a pollutant do not exceed the PSD and Non-attainment NSR
thresholds. Each program is described in the following sections.
2.3 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
The PSD requirements are contained in 40 CFR Part 52 and adopted in their entirety by the PaDEP in 25
Pa. Code Chapter 127 Subchapter D. PSD applies to new major stationary sources of air pollutants, which
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 3
are defined as any one of 28 specific source categories, including fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants
with a heat input capacity greater than 250 MMBtu/hr that have the potential to emit 100 tons per year or
more of any regulated NSR pollutant. Renovo Energy Center (REC) is proposing a fossil-fuel fired steam
electric plant of more than 250 MMBtu/hr heat input and is therefore subject to PSD if it has the potential
to emit 100 tons per year of any one pollutant. Once it is determined that a facility is a major source, the
potential to emit of each pollutant must be compared to the corresponding significant net emissions
increase to determine which pollutants are subject to PSD review. PSD significant net emissions increases
are defined in 40 CFR Part 52 and identified in Table 2.4-1.
PSD review for major stationary sources consists of demonstrating that Best Available Control
Technology (BACT) has been applied to each emission source and demonstrating that the proposed
emissions will not cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS or PSD increment. PSD increment is
the maximum allowable increase in concentration that is allowed to occur above a baseline concentration
for a pollutant. PSD increments prevent the air quality in “clean areas” from deteriorating to the level set
by the NAAQS. A demonstration of BACT for Renovo’s PSD pollutants is contained in Section 3 of this
application packet and the air quality impact analyses performed to demonstrate compliance with PSD
increment requirements and NAAQS is presented in Section 4. REC’s PSD pollutants are SO2, PM, CO,
and H2SO4 as outlined in Table 2.4-1. As required by the tailoring rule, the June 23, 2014 U.S. Supreme
Court Decision, and resultant EPA guidance, a BACT analysis is required for stationary sources that are
new major source for a regulated NSR pollutant that is not GHGs and will have the potential to emit
75,000 tpy CO2e. Therefore, a BACT analysis is also required for GHG emissions.
2.4 Non-Attainment New Source Review
A new source is subject to the non-attainment area preconstruction review process if it has the potential to
emit any criteria pollutant in major amounts for which the area has been designated nonattainment. Since
the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is in the ozone transport region it is designated nonattainment
for ozone. NOx and VOC are precursors to ozone formation and the nonattainment major source
thresholds for these pollutants are 100 tpy and 50 tpy, respectively. The nonattainment review
requirements differ from the PSD requirements such that the emission control requirement for
nonattainment areas, Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER), is defined differently than the BACT
emissions control requirements. LAER is defined as the most stringent emission limitation contained in
the implementation plan of any state or the most stringent emission limitation achieved in practice.
Section 3 of this application contains the LAER determinations for NOx and VOC for REC’s emission
sources.
In addition, before construction or operation of a source in a nonattainment area can be commenced the
source must obtain Emission Reduction Credits (ERC) or offsets of the nonattainment pollutant from
other emission sources which impact the same area as the proposed source. Per 25 Pa. Code Chapter
127.210, with the exception of fugitive VOC emissions, the emission offset ratio for both NOx and VOC
in the ozone transport region is 1.15:1. The emission offset ratio for fugitive VOC emissions is 1.3:1.
Therefore REC is required to obtain ERCs for VOC and NOx at a rate of 1.15 times the proposed
emissions for these pollutants emitted from the stacks. Based on emission calculations provided in
Appendix D, there will not be any fugitive VOC emissions.
Thirdly, sources impacting visibility in mandatory class I Federal areas must be reviewed by the
appropriate Federal Land Manager (FLM). In addition, 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(5) requires an analysis to
be conducted of alternative sites, sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques for the
proposed facility, which demonstrates that the benefits of the proposed facility significantly outweigh the
environmental and social costs imposed as a result of it location and construction.

2.5 Minor New Source Review
All pollutants, whether or not subject to PSD or non-attainment NSR, must comply with the minor source
permitting requirements of Chapter 127. A facility is required to apply Best Available Technology (BAT)
which is similar to BACT required under the PSD program. Further details of the requirements of Chapter
127 are outlined below under Section 2.14 – PaDEP Applicable Requirements.
2.6 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) are established by EPA for source categories that cause or
contribute significantly to air pollution. These standards apply to sources that have been constructed or
modified since the proposal of the standard. NSPS are codified in 40 CFR Part 60. There are several
NSPS standards that potentially apply to the REC facility which are outlined in the following subsections.
2.6.1 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart A – General Provisions
General Provisions contained in Subpart A apply to any source that is subject to another subpart. REC is
subject to Subpart Dc, Subpart KKKK, Subpart IIII, and Subpart TTTT, thus specific provisions in
Subpart A will apply. The following Subpart A provisions will apply:
• 60.7 – Initial notification and recordkeeping: The following notifications are required to be
submitted to EPA and PaDEP: a notification of the date of construction commencement and date
of initial startup; a notification of the date the CEMS performance demonstration has
commenced. The following records are required: occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction; periods during which a CEMS is inoperative; records of all
measurements including CEMS, performance testing, CEMS calibration checks, CEMS
performance evaluations, and adjustments and maintenance performed on the monitoring system.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 5
The following reports are required: semi-annual excess emissions and monitoring system
performance reports.
• 60.8 – Performance Tests: REC will comply with the requirements contained in 60.8 and use the
applicable reference test methods for any performance testing that will apply.
• 60.11 – Compliance with Standards and Maintenance Requirements: Compliance with standards
in Part 60 will be demonstrated with performance testing in accordance with 60.8.
• 60.13 – Monitoring Requirements: CEMS required under applicable subparts will be subject to
the performance specifications under Appendix B and Appendix F of Part 60.
• 60.19 – General Notification and Reporting Requirements: REC will comply with the general
report and notification formats and schedules contained in this section.
2.6.2 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Dc – Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units
Subpart Dc establishes emission limits for steam generating units constructed, modified or reconstructed
after June 9, 1989 with a heat input capacity of 10 - 100 MMBtu/hr. REC is proposing to install two
natural gas fired auxiliary boilers, each with a heat input capacity of 66 MMBtu/hr. The boilers will be
fired with natural gas only. Since the boilers will combust natural gas exclusively, compliance with
Subpart Dc only requires maintaining monthly fuel consumption records and submitting an annual report
to EPA summarizing those records.
2.6.3 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII – Standards of performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Combustion Engines
40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII, Standards of performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines will apply to REC’s emergency generator engine and emergency fire pump engine.
The regulation requires that manufacturers of internal combustion engines certify the engines to specific
emission standards based on model year, engine size and type. Owners and operators of subject engines
are required to operate and maintain the engine in accordance with the manufacturer’s emission related
written instructions.
The diesel fuel fired in REC’s emergency equipment will meet the requirements of 40 CFR 80.510(a)
which limits the sulfur content to 15 ppm. The emergency generator and diesel fire pump will be certified
to meet the applicable emission standards set forth in Subpart IIII. Both of REC’s engines will be
installed with non-resettable hour meters. REC proposes to limit the operation of the emergency
generator to 500 hours per year and 250 hours per year for the fire pump engine. Maintenance checks and
readiness testing will be limited to 100 hours per year per engine.
2.6.4 40 CR Part 60 Subpart KKKK – Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines
Subpart KKKK establishes emission limits for combustion turbines (CT) which commence construction
after February 18, 2005 and have a heat input at peak load of 10 MMBtu/hr or greater based on the higher
heating value of the fuel. Only heat input to the combustion turbine is included when determining
whether or not this subpart applies to the proposed turbines. Any additional heat input associated heat
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 6
recovery steam generators (HRSG) or duct burners is not included when determining the turbine’s peak
heat input. However, Subpart KKKK does apply to emissions from the associated HRSGs and duct
burners. Stationary combustion turbines regulated under Subpart KKKK are exempt from the
requirements of Subpart GG. Heat recovery steam generators and duct burners regulated by Subpart
KKKK are exempt from the requirements of Subparts Da, Db, and Dc.
Under Subpart KKKK, each CT/HRSG train is subject to a NOx emission limit of 15 ppmvd at 15 percent
O2 while firing natural gas and 42 ppmvd at 15 percent O2 while firing ULSD. Compliance is required to
be demonstrated either by annual stack testing or continuous emission monitoring (CEMS). An initial
performance test is required by either conducting a stack test or, if a CEMS is installed, performing a
minimum of nine relative accuracy test audit (RATA) reference method runs. Since REC will be
installing a CEM, the initial performance test will consist of the RATA testing.
REC’s CT/HRSG trains will be subject to a SO2 emission limit of 0.90 pounds per megawatt-hour gross
energy output or 0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu heat input fuel. A facility is exempt from monitoring for SO2 if
sulfur fuel characteristics in a purchase contract, tariff sheet or transportation contract for the fuel specify
that the maximum total sulfur content for natural gas is 20 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard cubic
feet and for oil is 0.05% or less. As an alternative, REC can provide representative fuel sampling data
which demonstrates that the sulfur content of the fuel does not exceed 0.06 lb/MMBtu. At a minimum,
the amount of fuel sampling data specified in Section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of Appendix D to Part 75 is
required.
Reporting requirements under Subpart KKKK include semi-annual excess emissions and CEMS
downtime reports.
2.6.5 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart TTTT – Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units
REC’s proposed facility is subject to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart TTTT which was finalized on October 23,
2015. The regulation applies to steam generating units with a base load rating greater than 250 MMBtu/hr
of fossil fuel that serve a generator or generators capable of selling greater than 25 MW of electricity to a
utility power distribution system. Under Subpart TTTT, each CT/HRSG train will be subject to an
emission limit of 1,000 lb CO2 per megawatt-hour of gross energy output or 1,030 lb CO2 per megawatt-
hour of net energy output. REC will be required to follow procedures in Subpart TTTT for calculating
hourly CO2 mass emissions and obtaining generating load data for the output-based standards.
Reporting requirements under Subpart TTTT include quarterly emission reports.
2.7 40 CFR Part 63 – National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Appendix D contains a summary of REC’s estimated potential annual emissions of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs) from the facility. The summary indicates that HAP emissions from the facility will be
less than 10 tons per year for any individual HAP and less than 25 tons per year for combined HAPs.
Therefore, REC’s proposed facility is not classified as a major HAP source (i.e. REC will be non-major or
area source), and the fuel burning and process equipment at the facility will not be subject to any major
source NESHAP promulgated by EPA. However, REC will be subject to the NESHAP for Stationary
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (Subpart ZZZZ) which applies to both major and non-major
sources of HAPs.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 7
2.7.1 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ – Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ establishes national emission and operating limitations for HAP emissions
from stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines located at major and area sources of HAP
emissions. In accordance with Subpart ZZZZ, new and reconstructed emergency engines at area sources
must comply with 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII. Therefore, as described above, REC’s diesel engine
powered emergency generator and emergency fire pump engine are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR
Part 60 Subpart IIII.
2.8 40 CFR Part 64 – Compliance Assurance Monitoring
The Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) regulation applies to facilities that are required to obtain a
Part 70 Operating Permit (major sources). The CAM requirements are unit and pollutant specific and
apply if the following criteria are met:
1. The unit is subject to an emission limitation or standard (other than an emission limit or standard
that is exempt under paragraph (b)(1) of Part 64);
2. The unit uses a control device to achieve compliance with that standard; and
3. The unit has potential pre-control device emissions exceeding the major source threshold under
the Title V permitting program.
CAM does not apply to the NOx emissions from the powerblocks (CT and HRSG with duct burners) per
40 CFR 64.2(b)(1)(i) because the NOx emissions are subject to emission limitations and standards
pursuant to Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (NSPS Subpart KKKK) and per 64.2(b)(1)(vi) since NOx
will be monitored by a CEMS. CAM does not apply to CO per 64.2(b)(1)(vi), since CO will be
monitored by a CEMS. The powerblocks will have pre-control VOC emissions that exceed the Title V
major source threshold (50 tpy), VOC emissions will be controlled by a control device (oxidation
catalyst), and will be subject to an emission limitation established by the Non-attainment NSR
requirements. REC will be required to submit a CAM plan for VOC emissions from the powerblocks.
REC’s CAM plan will include the use of a CO CEMS data as an indicator of the oxidation catalyst
performance since CO emissions are also being controlled by the catalyst. The CAM plan will be
submitted as part of REC’s initial Title V Operating Permit application.
The CAM rule will not apply to the auxiliary boilers or diesel fired emergency equipment because all
three criteria outlined above and specified in 40 CFR Part 64.2(a)(1-3) will not be met.
2.9 40 CFR Part 70 - Operating Permit
The PaDEP has adopted EPA’s Part 70 – Operating Permit Program (Title V) which is codified as 25 Pa.
Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. A Title V permit is required for major sources. For Title V
applicability, a major source is defined as source that has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of any
hazardous air pollutant (HAP), 25 tons per year of a combination of HAPs, 50 tpy of VOC and 100 tpy
for any other regulated air pollutant. Based on potential emissions as presented in Section 2 and Appendix
D, REC is a major source and subject to Title V permitting. A Title permit application will be submitted
within 120 days after the PaDEP provides notice that the application is due.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 8
2.10 40 CFR Part 72 – Part 75 - Acid Rain Program
Per 40 CFR Section 72.6(a)(3)(i), REC will be subject to the Acid Rain Program since it will be a new
utility unit with a total nameplate capacity of greater than 25 MW as defined by the regulation. A new
unit is defined as a fossil fuel fired combustion device that commences commercial operation on or after
November 15, 1990 and a utility unit is defined as a unit that produces electricity for sale. 72.9(a)
requires the facility to submit a complete Acid Rain permit application at least 24 months prior to
commencing operation. The purpose of Part 75 is to establish requirements for the monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting of SO2, NOx, and CO2 emissions, volumetric flow and opacity data from
affected units. For measuring and recording SO2 emissions, REC will follow either 75.11(d)(2):
procedures specified in Appendix D – Optional SO2 Emissions Data Protocol for Gas-fired and Oil-fired
units for determining hourly SO2 emissions and heat input in lieu of continuous SO2 concentration and
flow monitors; or 75.11(e): special considerations during the combustion of gaseous fuels – if the facility
uses a certified flow monitor and a certified diluent gas monitor to measure the heat input rate, during any
hours in which the unit combusts only gaseous fuel, the facility shall determine SO2 emissions in by using
Equation F-23 of Appendix F. The regulation also requires that the facility install a CEMS for NOx and
diluent gas. An opacity monitor is not required as REC will meet the definition of gas-fired unit (a gas-
fired unit combusts natural gas or other gaseous fuel for at least 90 percent of the unit’s average annual
heat input during the previous three calendar years and for at least 85 percent of the annual heat input in
each of those calendar years). In addition, REC will be required to hold SO2 allowances equal to the
actual annual SO2 emissions for the previous calendar year.
2.11 40 CFR Part 96 NOx Budget Trading Program and CAIR NOx and SO2 Trading Programs for State Implementation Plans
40 CFR Part 96 is an outline of the requirements for State Implementation Plans and has been superseded
with the requirements contained in Part 97 as described below.
2.12 40 CFR Part 97 – Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR)
The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) requires twenty-three states to reduce annual SO2 and NOx
emissions to help downwind areas attain the 24-hour and/or annual PM2.5 NAAQS. Twenty-five states
are required to reduce ozone season NOx emission to help downwind areas attain the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. Pennsylvania is one of the states that must reduce annual SO2 and NOx emissions and ozone
season NOx emissions. Pennsylvania is a Group 1 state required to reduce SO2 emissions in Phase I and
make additional reductions in SO2 emissions in Phase II. Phase I implementation is scheduled for 2015
and Phase II is scheduled for 2017. Given that the application is being filed in 2019, REC will be subject
to Phase II.
CSAPR replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). CSAPR regulations are contained in 40 CFR Part
97. REC’s proposed units will be subject to Subpart AAAAA – Transport Region (TR) NOx Annual
Trading Program, Subpart BBBBB – TR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program, and Subpart CCCCC –
TR SO2 Group 1 Trading Program. REC will be required to submit a NOx Budget permit application at
least 18 months before the date of commencement of operation. The proposed units are also NOx units,
SO2 units, and NOx Ozone Season units per 40 CFR Section 97.104(a)(1), Section 97.204(a)(1), and
97.304(a)(1), respectively, and thus the facility will be required to submit a complete permit application at
least 18 months prior to commencing construction.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 9
REC is subject to the standard requirements contained in Sections 97.406 (TR NOx Annual Trading
Program requirements), 97.506 (TR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program Requirements), and 97.606
(TR SO2 Group 1 Trading Program requirements). Each program requires that the facility assign a
designated representative. Each TR NOx Annual source/unit is required to comply with the monitoring,
reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR 97.430 through 97.435. Emissions data determined
in accordance with 40 CFR 97.430 through 97.435 shall be used to calculate allocations of TR NOx
Annual allowances to determine compliance with the TR NOx Annual emissions limitation and assurance
provisions. As of the allowance transfer deadline for a control period in a given year, the owner or
operator of each TR NOx Annual source/unit shall hold, in the source’s compliance account, TR NOx
Annual allowances available for deduction for the control period. Each TR NOx Ozone Season
source/unit is required to comply with the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of 40
CFR 97.530 through 97.535. Emissions data determined in accordance with 40 CFR 97.530 through
97.535 shall be used to calculate allocations of TR NOx Ozone Season allowances to determine
compliance with the TR NOx Ozone Season emissions limitation and assurance provisions. As of the
allowance transfer deadline for a control period in a given year, the owner or operator of each TR NOx
Ozone Season source/unit shall hold, in the source’s compliance account, TR NOx Ozone Season
allowances available for deduction for the control period. Each TR SO2 Group 1 source/unit is required
to comply with the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR 97.630 through
97.635. Emissions data determined in accordance with 40 CFR 97.630 through 97.635 shall be used to
calculate allocations of TR SO2 Group 1 allowances to determine compliance with the TR SO2 Group 1
emissions limitation and assurance provisions. As of the allowance transfer deadline for a control period
in a given year, the owner or operator of each TR SO2 Group 1 source/unit shall hold, in the source’s
compliance account, TR SO2 Group 1 allowances available for deduction for the control period.
2.13 40 CFR Part 98 – Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting
In accordance with 98.2(a)(1), EPA’s Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting regulation will apply as
REC is classified as a source category listed in Table A-3 of the regulation (Electricity generation units
that report CO2 mass emissions year round through 40 CFR Part 75). Subpart D of 40 CFR Part 98
outlines the requirements for electricity generation units. Subpart C outlines the requirements for fuel
combustion units that apply to the boilers and emergency engines. REC will be required to report annual
emissions of greenhouse gases by March 1 each year for the previous year.
2.14 PaDEP Applicable Requirements

POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 10
• Section 123.1 does not permit fugitive emissions in the outdoor air from sources other than the
following:
o Construction or demolition of buildings or structures.
o Grading, paving and maintenance of roads and streets.
o Use of roads and streets
o Clearing of land
o Stockpiling of materials
o Open burning operations.
o Blasting in open pit mines.
o Sources and classes of sources other than those listed above, for which the facility has
obtained a determination from the PaDEP that fugitive emissions meet the following
requirements: emissions are of minor significance with respect to causing air pollution,
and emissions are not preventing or interfering with attainment or maintenance of any
ambient air quality standard.
• Section 123.11 limits particulate matter emissions from combustion sources based on heat input.
The turbines are subject to a limit of 0.1 lb/MMBtu and the auxiliary boilers, emergency
generator, and fire pump engine are subject to a limit of 0.4 lb/MMBtu.
• Section 123.21 and 123.22 establish standards for the control of sulfur dioxide emissions sulfur
content of fuels. Clinton County is in a “non-air basin area” and is therefore subject to the SO2
and sulfur limits contained in 123.22(a). SO2 emissions are limited to 4 lb/MMBtu of heat input
over a 1-hour period. The sulfur content of #2 oil and lighter is limited to 0.05%.
• Section 123.41 limits visible emissions to less than 20% opacity, except for periods of no more
than 3 minutes in any one hour and no more than 60% opacity at any time.
• Section 123.51 requires combustion units with heat inputs greater than 250 MMBtu/hr to install,
operate, and maintain a continuous nitrogen oxides emissions monitoring system
25 Pa. Code Chapter 124 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs)
Chapter 124 adopts National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) promulgated
by EPA allowing the standards to be enforceable by the PaDEP and delegates authority to the PaDEP.
REC is subject to a NESHAP requirement as previously outlined in this section.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 Construction, Modification, Reactivation and Operation of Sources
PaDEP’s Chapter 127 outlines new source permitting and operating permit requirements. Subchapter B
specifies plan approval requirements (new source permitting) which includes the application content
requirements, notification and other administrative tasks and requires a facility to obtain a plan approval
prior to construction. Sections 127.1 and 127.12(a)(5) require new sources to control emissions of air
contaminants to best available technology (BAT) level which applies to major and minor sources and is

similar to BACT under the PSD program. BAT is defined as equipment, devices, methods or techniques
which will prevent, reduce or control emissions to the maximum degree possible and which are available
or may be made available.
EPA’s PSD requirements are adopted by the PaDEP through Subchapter D of Chapter 127. REC is
subject to Subpart E for nonattainment NSR. As discussed in Section 2.4 (nonattainment NSR), REC is
major for NOx and CO (NSR pollutants) and is thus subject to Subchapter E. Subchapter E requires REC
to apply LAER and obtain ERC credits at the rate of 1.15 to 1 for NOx and VOC emissions and 1.3:1 for
fugitive VOC emissions. Documentation of REC’s intent to secure NOx and VOC offsets is contained in
Appendix Q. In accordance with 127.205(5), REC is required to submit an analysis of alternative sites,
sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques. This analysis is addressed in Section
6.
Chapter 127, Subchapter G contains Title V Operating Permit Program requirements. As discussed in
Section 2.9, REC is required to obtain a Title V Operating Permit. REC will submit an application for the
operating permit within 120 days after the PaDEP provides notice that the application is due. The Title V
operating permit will not impose additional requirements other than periodic reporting and certification.
Subchapter I outlines the plan approval and operating permit fees that apply to REC as follows:
• Sources requiring approval under Subchapter B: $5,300
• Sources requiring approval under NSPS and/or NESHAP: $1,700
• Sources requiring approval under PSD: $22,700
REC is subject to a total plan approval and operating permit fee of $29,700.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 129 Standards For Sources
Since REC is a major NOx emitting facility and major VOC emitting facility as defined in Chapter 201,
Section 129.91 – Control of major sources of NOx and VOC will apply. REC is required to submit a
RACT proposal prior to installation. However, under nonattainment new source review, REC is subject to
the lowest achievable emission rate for NOx and VOC which is more stringent than RACT and
supersedes RACT.
NOx requirements outlined in Section 129.201 through 129.203 do not apply since REC is not located in
one of the listed counties.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 131 Ambient Air Quality Standards
The NAAQS promulgated by EPA are incorporated by reference as part of the standards in Chapter 131.
Section 131.3 sets forth additional ambient air quality standards established by PA for settled particulate,
beryllium, fluorides, and hydrogen sulfide. The NAAQS and PA AAQS are summarized in Table 2-1.
REC will prepare an air dispersion modeling analysis to demonstrate compliance with all ambient air
quality standards.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 135 Reporting of Sources
Chapter 135 requires air emission sources to report actual emissions by March 1 for the previous year.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 12
25 Pa. Code Chapter 137 Air Pollution Episodes
Chapter 137 outlines the requirements for air pollution episodes. If the PaDEP classifies Clinton County
as an area requiring a standby plan, REC will submit a standby plan within 90 days of the PaDEP’s
request.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 Sampling and Testing
Chapter 139 provides general requirements and procedures for sampling and testing, reference test
methods, and requirements for source monitoring.
25 Pa. Code Chapter 145 Interstate Pollution Transport Reduction
Since EPA’s CSAPR has been finalized, per 5/12/2015 discussion with PaDEP, the requirements of 40
CFR Part 97 (CSAPR) take precedence over the requirements contained in Chapter 145.
2.15 Requirements Evaluated That Do Not Apply
25 Pa. Code Section 129.56 and 129.57 Storage Tanks Containing VOC
Section 129.56 applies to storage tanks with capacities greater than 40,000 gallons containing volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) with a vapor pressure of greater than 1.5 psia. Section 129.57 applies to
storage tanks greater than 2,000 gallons containing VOC with a vapor pressure of greater than 1.5 psia.
REC is proposing tanks greater than the 2,000/40,000 gallon threshold for the storage of diesel fuel and
lubricating oil. Diesel fuel and lubricating oil have vapor pressures less than 1.5 psia, thus Sections
129.56 and 129.57 do not apply.
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Kb – Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage
Vessels
The storage tanks proposes for this facility (one 3.8 million gallon USLD for the turbines, one 2,500-
gallon ULSD tank associated with the generator, one 350-gallon ULSD tank associated with the fire
pump engine, two 20,000-gallon lube oil tanks, and two 26,000 gallon ammonia tanks) are not subject to
the requirements of Subpart Kb since ammonia is not an organic liquid and the vapor pressure of diesel
oil and lubricating oil is less than the 3.5 kPa and 15 kPa as specified by the regulation.
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart UUUUU – National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart UUUUU is also known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) applies
to coal-fired and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units. REC’s combustion turbines are not
subject to this rule because the turbines do not meet the definition of electric utility steam generating unit
as defined in CAA section 112(a)(8) and Subpart UUUUU (primarily because the turbines do not
generate steam). Steam generating unit is defined as in Subpart UUUUU as follows:
“Steam generating unit means any furnace, boiler, or other device used for combusting fuel for the
purpose of producing steam (including fossil-fuel-fired steam generators associated with integrated
gasification combined cycle gas turbines; nuclear steam generators are not included).”
The HRSG units generate steam from the heat from the combustion turbines and are provided with
additional heat from natural gas fired duct burners. The HRSG units are not subject to Subpart UUUUU
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Air Regulatory Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 13
because they will not combust coal or oil. The auxiliary boilers are not subject to Subpart UUUUU
because they will not combust coal or oil, nor will they generate electricity.
Subpart DDDDD – National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources:
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDDD applies to boilers and process heaters located at major sources of HAP
emissions. Based on the estimated potential annual emissions of HAPs from the REC facility contained
in Appendix D, HAP emissions from the facility will be less than 10 tons per year for any individual HAP
and less than 25 tons per year for combined HAPs. Therefore, REC will not be a major source of HAP
emissions and Subpart DDDDD will not apply.
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart YYYY – National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Stationary Combustion Turbines
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart YYYY applies to stationary combustion turbines located at major sources of
HAP emissions. Based on the estimated potential annual emissions of HAPs from the REC facility
contained in Appendix D, HAP emissions from the facility will be less than 10 tons per year for any
individual HAP and less than 25 tons per year for combined HAPs. Therefore, REC will not be a major
source of HAP emissions and Subpart YYYY will not apply.
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ does not apply to the auxiliary boilers since the boilers will only combust
natural gas. Per 63.11195(e), gas-fired boilers are exempt from this subpart.
40 CFR Part 76 – Acid Rain Nitrogen Oxide Emission Reduction Program
Part 76 applies to coal-fired utility units subject to the Acid Rain Program. Since REC will not combust
coal, this regulation does not apply.

3.0 BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY/LOWEST ACHIEVABLE EMISSION RATE/BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS (BACT/LAER/BAT)
3.1 Introduction
Renovo Energy Center, LLC (REC) is submitting an air permit application for the installation of a
nominally rated 1240 MW (net) combined cycle electric generating plant to be located in Renovo,
Pennsylvania. The electric generating plant will consist of two 1x1x1 combined cycle turbines, each
consisting of a combustion turbine, HRSG with duct burner, and a steam turbine. REC is proposing to
utilize General Electric 7HA.02 combustion turbines.
The proposed REC project will include for each powerblock an auxiliary boiler, turbine inlet air
conditioner, and air-cooled condenser. REC also will have two natural gas-fuel heaters, an emergency
generator, and a fire water pump engine. The combustion turbines will fire primarily natural gas with
ULSD fuel as back-up. The duct burners, auxiliary boilers, and natural gas-fuel heaters will fire only on
pipeline quality natural gas, while the emergency generator and fire water pump engine will fire ULSD.
REC is classified as a major stationary source due to potential emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx),
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Particulate Matter (PM/PM10/PM2.5),
which exceed their respective PSD significant allowable emissions thresholds. In accordance with the
Non-Attainment New Source Review provisions in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, REC will be required to
apply Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate (LAER) technology for emissions of NOx and VOC from
REC’s emission sources. In addition, Best Available Control Technology (BACT) must be met for the
attainment emissions greater than significant threshold and Best Available Technology (BAT) must be
applied to satisfy PaDEP requirements. Table 1 presents REC’s calculated allowable (potential) emissions
in comparison to the regulatory thresholds and indicates what levels of control are required.

As shown in Table 1, REC’s maximum allowable emissions of NOx, CO, PM, PM10, SO2, VOC, sulfuric
acid, and greenhouse gases exceed significant allowable emission levels and therefore BACT, LAER,
and/or BAT must be applied.

A BACT analysis is a “top down” procedure to determine the level of pollution control or emission limit
that must be applied to a particular emission unit. The “top down” BACT procedure consists of the
following steps:
• Identify most stringent emission rates and associated control technologies
• Eliminate technically infeasible options
• Rank remaining control technologies by control effectiveness
• Evaluate most effective controls and document results (case-by-case consideration of energy,
environmental and economic impacts)
• Select BACT
The LAER procedure is similar to BACT with the exception that the economic and energy impacts are
not considered. Because LAER is more stringent than BACT or BAT, the LAER analysis will satisfy the
BACT and BAT requirements. PaDEP’s BAT regulations are applicable to all emissions from the project
and are intended as all-encompassing to ensure that all sources apply the best technology available.
To identify LAER, BACT and BAT, REC accessed EPA’s RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC).
The RBLC is a compilation of emission limits and controls on emission units from around the United
States that have received air permits from various states and other regulatory agencies. The information is
voluntarily provided by the agencies and entered into the RBLC. Due to the voluntary nature of the
RBLC, not all permits are submitted for inclusion. For this reason, in many cases emission limits and
pollution control information included in the following BACT/LAER/BAT analyses were compiled by
contacting state or local air permit agencies. The facilities determined to be most similar to REC were
selected from facilities that have been issued permits within the last ten years.
3.2 Executive Summary of BACT/LAER/BAT Determinations
3.2.1 Turbines
REC is proposing to install two identical combined cycle units that will each consist of one combustion
turbine, one HRSG with duct burner, one electrical generator and one steam turbine.
Each combustion turbine will combust primarily natural gas and will have the capability of firing ULSD
as a backup fuel. Duct burners, firing only natural gas will be installed in the HRSG. Pollution control
equipment includes dry low-NOx (DLN) burners and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for
control of NOx, as well as an oxidation catalyst for control of CO and VOCs. The SCR system and
oxidation catalyst allows REC to meet LAER and BACT for NOx, CO, and VOC.
REC is proposing to combust natural gas with a maximum sulfur content of 0.4 grains per 100 scf (gr
S/100scf) of fuel, and ULSD with a maximum sulfur content of 0.0015% by weight. This allows REC to
comply with BACT/BAT for emissions of SO2 and PM, including coarse (PM10) and fine (PM2.5)
particulates.
To meet BACT/LAER/BAT, REC is proposing the following:

3.3.1 Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Emissions of NOx can be considered as having two basic components– “fuel NOx,” which is formed by
fuel-bound nitrogen, and “thermal NOx,” which results from oxidation of nitrogen in high-temperature
regions of the combustion zone. The following subsection describes control technologies that can be
applied to reduce NOx emissions from combined cycle powerblock installations and identifies similar
facilities for comparisons to determine the required LAER rate, as well as the appropriateness of the
control technology selected for this project.

Identification and Evaluation of NOx Control Technologies
NOx control techniques are generally organized into two groups: combustion controls and post
combustion controls. Combustion controls affect the combustion conditions to minimize the formation of
NOx, while post-combustion controls remove NOx after it has formed.
Combustion Controls
Fuel-NOx Control
Fuel selection is an important consideration for the control of NOx emissions from combustion turbines.
Both NOx formation processes (“fuel NOx” and “thermal NOx”) must be considered in selecting a fuel
source, as both the flame temperature and fuel-bound nitrogen content must be given consideration.
Distillate fuel oils contain inherently low fuel-bound nitrogen and have relatively high flame
temperatures. Natural gas contains essentially zero fuel bound nitrogen, and has a relatively low flame
temperature in comparison to other fuels. The proposed combined cycle turbines will fire primarily on
natural gas and will only fire ULSD as a back-up fuel option during periods when the natural gas supply
is interrupted.
Dry low-NOx Combustor Design
One method of reducing “thermal NOx” formation is by utilizing a dry low-NOx (DLN) combustor that
premixes the air and fuel prior to entering the primary combustion chamber. This allows for a lower flame
temperature due to the homogeneity of the air/fuel mix, and the lack of a flame front. Advanced
combustor design also includes reducing the combustion zone residence time and limiting the oxygen
available to combine with nitrogen to form NOx. REC’s proposed turbines and duct burners include DLN
combustors.
Wet Injection
As stated previously, the flame temperature of distillate oil is relatively high in comparison to other fuel
sources. The injection of water directly into the combustion chamber lowers the flame temperature by
absorbing heat necessary to vaporize the water and raise the temperature of the steam to that of the
combustion temperature. Steam injection utilizes the same principle, although heat can only be absorbed
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 5
by the steam in raising the steam’s temperature to that of combustion. Injection of either water or steam
results in lower “thermal NOx” formation.
Proper injection of water or steam is extremely important when considering equipment life, as well as
emissions performance. Too much injection can cause flame instability, excessive thermal stress, as well
as increases in CO and VOC emissions due to incomplete combustion. The amount of water or steam
injected depends largely on the design of the combustor.
Wet injection is typically not used when firing natural gas due to the lower flame temperature as well as
the low nitrogen content of natural gas. When employed on ULSD-fired combustion turbines, wet
injection has an 80% to 85% control efficiency for emissions of NOx. The design under consideration
utilizes wet injection to control emissions of NOx when firing ULSD only.
Catalytic Combustion (XONONTM)
Catalytic combustion (specifically Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.’s XONONTM technology) also offers
the opportunity to lower NOx emissions from combustion turbine applications; however, this technology
is not available for large combustion turbine applications. Thus, catalytic combustion is not a technically
feasible control technology option.
Post-combustion Controls
The available add-on control technologies for NOx control from fuel burning devices are selective non-
catalytic reduction, non-selective catalytic reduction, selective catalytic reduction, and
EMXTM/SCONOXTM. These NOx controls are described below.
Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR)
SNCR is a process in which ammonia is injected directly into the exhaust gas stream to produce nitrogen
and water vapor from NOx. The chemical reactions take place without the presence of a catalyst, and due
to reaction temperature considerations, the ammonia or urea injection must occur in a location where the
exhaust gas temperatures are between approximately 1,600°F and 2,000°F. The exhaust gas temperature
range for the proposed units does not allow for SNCR to be a feasible control technology, as the exhaust
temperature for this project is expected to be considerably below this range.
Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (NSCR)
NSCR is a process that utilizes a catalyst to produce nitrogen and water vapor from NOx without the
presence of a reducing agent. This technology has not yet been developed for large-scale combustion
turbine applications and is currently only utilized in reciprocating internal combustion engines. Thus,
NSCR is considered technically infeasible for this equipment.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
SCR is similar to SNCR except that with SCR, a catalyst is present during the chemical reactions that
produce nitrogen and water vapor from NOx. The chemical reactions are as follows:
4NH3 + 4NO + O2 → 4N2 + 6H2O
4NH3 + 2NO2 + O2 → 3N2 + 6H2O
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 6
The presence of the catalyst (typically consisting of noble metals, base metal oxides, or zeolite-based
materials) decreases the energy required to activate the chemical reactions, and allows for the reducing
agent (ammonia) to be injected at lower temperatures (~600°F to 750°F) in the exhaust gas stream.
Proper injection of ammonia is an important consideration for emissions control, as well as equipment
life. Based on the chemical reactions, a molar ratio of ammonia to NOx of 1 to 1 is required for NOx
removal. Due to imperfections in the injection process (mixing and other factors affecting the reaction),
typically the actual ammonia to NOx molar ratio is greater than 1 to 1.
Another factor that can affect the performance and life of the SCR system is high fuel sulfur content.
Natural gas sulfur contents less than 2 gr S/100scf allow for a reasonable catalyst life, and REC’s
proposed sulfur content of 0.4 gr S/100scf meets the criteria, in conjunction with the limited use of ULSD
as a back-up fuel.
SCR is a widely used control technology for NOx, particularly for large combustion turbine applications
and typically demonstrates removal efficiencies of 80% to 90% whether firing natural gas or ULSD.
EMXTM/SCONOX
TM
EMXTM (formerly known as SCONOX
TM) is a technology that is intended to reduce emissions of NOx,
CO, and VOC simultaneously. CO and NO are both oxidized to form CO2 and NO2, respectively. The
resulting NO2 is then absorbed by the catalyst surface, while the CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere.
Although highly desirable due to the lack of ammonia injection necessary, EMXTM has only been installed
in small powerplants in California (all below 43 MW), and thus is considered technically infeasible for
the proposed REC project.
Selection of NOx Control Technology to Meet LAER/BAT
The most effective control for NOx from a dual fueled combined cycle powerblock is SCR in conjunction
with good combustion practices and DLN combustors, as well as wet injection. The most stringent limit
demonstrated in practice when firing natural gas is 2 ppmvd @ 15% O2 (by numerous facilities), and
when firing ULSD is 4 ppmvd @ 15% O2.
REC therefore proposes to meet LAER for NOx using DLN combustion controls, SCR, and water
injection when firing ULSD. REC proposes a NOx emission limit of 2 ppmvd @ 15% O2 based on a 1-
hour block average when firing natural gas, and 4 ppmvd @ 15% O2 based on a 1-hour block average
when firing ULSD. Compliance with these limits will be demonstrated by a continuous emission
monitoring system installed in compliance with 40 CFR Part 60 and Part 75.
3.3.2 Particulate Matter (PM10)
Particulate matter (PM) emissions from combined cycle turbines are the result of unburned trace
constituents in the fuel, unburned hydrocarbons, and the inlet air supply that may contain dust particles.
PM emissions can also result from the formation of sulfates and nitrates, which are formed when certain
sulfur- and nitrogen-oxide compounds react with ammonia. The following section describes control
technologies that can be applied to reduce PM emissions from combined cycle powerblock applications
and identifies similar facilities for comparisons to determine BACT for this project.

Identification and Evaluation of PM10 Controls
PM10 control devices applicable to dual fired combustion turbines include combustion controls, the use of
clean fuels (low sulfur/ash), and high efficiency inlet air filters. Add-on control devices such as multi-
clones or electro-static precipitators (ESPs) are considered technically infeasible for combustion turbines
and were not identified in any of the RBLC entries or other permits, whether fired on natural gas or
ULSD.
The most stringent level of particulate matter control for a dual fired combined cycle turbine is achieved
with good combustion controls, the use of high efficiency inlet air filters, and clean fuels. Therefore, a
ranking of their effectiveness is not necessary.

The lowest permit value for total PM (filterable) when firing natural gas is 0.0025 lb/MMBtu at Filer City
Station in Michigan. The facility has not been built, nor has Jackson Energy Center proposed for
construction in Illinois with a permit limit of 0.0026 lb/MMBtu. The lowest PM limit for an operating
facility with or without duct burner is Lackawanna Energy Center in Pennsylvania at 0.003 lb/MMBtu.
The lowest value for PM when firing ULSD at an operating facility is CPV Towantic, LLC in
Connecticut at 0.0319 lb/MMBtu/hr. REC is proposing 0.0032 lb/MMBtu when firing natural gas and
0.013 lb/MMBtu when firing ULSD. These values reflect GE emission rates based on historic measured
PM data with the inclusion of recently available emissions testing data. GE has provided the following
justification in support of these limits:
• Measured Particulate Matter is the result of a combined contribution from constituents in the fuel,
introduction of particulate from CT airflow and combustion water injection (for NOx control
during ULSD firing) and the effects of uncertainty and artifacts inherent to the defined
measurement methodologies.
• PM measurement methodology is a complex manual process, conducted in non-ideal conditions
at the top of an operating gas turbine stack, with many opportunities for error in the measurement
process. The testing entails drawing an extracted exhaust stream across a heated measurement
filter and then condensing particulates in that same stream in glass impingers held in an ice bath.
In this process a relatively small particulate sample is collected. This collection is then manually
captured and brought to a laboratory for quantification. Any contamination or introduction of
measurement artifact through this process introduces a high degree of measurement variability
into the measurement results. This inherent measurement variability must be incorporated into the
allowable emission rate.
• Combustion architecture contributes to a variation in emission values across turbine technologies,
but it is not the sole driver of particulate formation. Design and operating factors such as water
injection rate, fuel to water mixing and fuel atomization efficiency will contribute to varying
particulate formation rates. However, the particulate formation due to combustion system
capabilities for any system which operates at a high combustion efficiency, while significant, is
not the primary factor when comparing particulate measurement results across combustion
technologies.
• The best means to determine expected particulate emissions for a particular combustion turbine
and fuel is through field measurements of similar operational equipment. The collection of field
measurement data is a challenge for ULSD firing due to the very limited amount of operation on
this fuel. As a result, there is limited opportunity to capture this measurement data and to
determine the true capability of the emissions and the measurement capability.
• The 7HA.02 is a relatively new gas turbine model with combustion advancements. GE has
limited PM emission data on ULSD across all gas turbine models and simply has no PM emission
data on this specific gas turbine and its specific ULSD combustion technology. The emission
values are extrapolated from available test data.
Selection of PM10 Control Technology to Meet BACT/BAT
REC will meet BACT for PM10 through the use of high efficiency inlet air filters, good combustion
practices, and low sulfur fuels. The total PM (filterable and condensable) emission limit proposed is
0.0032 lb/MMBtu when firing natural gas, and 0.013 lb/MMBtu when firing ULSD. Compliance with
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC

these limits will be based on initial stack testing, fuel sulfur content monitoring and fuel supplier
certifications.
3.3.3 Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
CO and VOC emissions from combined cycle combustion turbines are the result of incomplete
combustion. CO emissions are exacerbated by low oxygen availability, poor mixing of air and fuel, low
combustion temperatures, and short residence time in the combustion zone. VOC emissions are the result
of low combustion temperatures and short combustion zone residence times. The following section
describes control technologies that can be applied to reduce CO and VOC emissions from combined cycle
turbine applications and identifies similar facilities for comparisons to determine the lowest achievable
emission rate and/or best available control technology that will be required.

Identification and Evaluation of CO and VOC Controls
Control technologies for evaluation in the BACT/LAER/BAT analysis to control CO and VOC emission
from dual fired combustion turbines consist of combustion controls and oxidation catalysts. Combustion
controls are designed to minimize incomplete combustion by improving oxidation of CO and VOC to
CO2. Oxidation catalysts are used to reduce CO and VOC emissions in many combustion turbine and
reciprocating engine applications. Oxidation catalysts typically operate at temperatures of 700°F to
1,100°F to be effective and thus for combustion turbine applications are typically placed in the exhaust
gas stream where the temperature range for the exhaust of 700°F to 1,100°F can be ensured. An oxidation
catalyst operating outside of this temperature range will experience additional deterioration beyond what
would be expected of a properly located oxidation catalyst. Removal efficiency can vary with gas
residence time, which is a function of catalyst bed depth. Increasing bed depth will increase removal
efficiencies but will also cause an increase in pressure drop across the catalyst bed, potentially increase
particulate matter emissions and result in a decrease in turbine performance.
Gas turbine CO and VOC emissions are a result of incomplete combustion which primarily occurs at the
edges of the gas turbine operating envelop. As a result, the expected emissions are lowest at baseload
steady operation near typical ambient conditions. These emissions, while within the guarantee
capabilities, will tend to be higher when the gas turbine is operated at minimum load conditions and at
extreme temperatures. Overly restrictive CO and VOC emissions limits, based only on baseload steady
operation at typical ambient conditions, when applied to unfired HRSG operating scenarios, will result in
decreased operating flexibility in the form of restricted minimum load turndown capability and can
restrict the rate at which the gas turbine is capable to ramp in load to respond to grid demands. Reduced
turndown and fast ramping capabilities are essential operating parameters for modern gas turbine plants to
ensure grid reliability in support of increased renewable penetration. The reduced turndown avoids over
generation when higher levels of renewable generation are available and during periods of decreased load
demand. Fast load ramping is essential to respond to fluctuations in renewable generation.
Selection of CO Control Technology to Meet BACT/BAT
The two technologies available for controlling CO are an oxidation catalyst and good combustion
practices. REC proposes to meet BACT for CO using good combustion practices in combination with an
oxidation catalyst. REC is proposing a CO limit of 1.3 ppmvd @ 15% O2 when firing natural gas (without
duct firing), 1.9 ppmvd @ 15% O2 firing natural gas with duct firing, and 2 ppmvd @ 15% O2 when firing
ULSD. Compliance with the CO limit will be based on a 24-hour block average using a CEMS.
As provided in Table 5, The RBLC search revealed a few facilities with lower emission limits when firing
natural gas with and without duct burners. The lowest permitted CO emission limit when firing natural
gas without duct firing is 0.9 ppmvd at CPV Towantic, LLC and West Deptford Energy Station. Killingly
Energy Center is at 0.9 ppm but the facility has not been built. Both of the operating facilities have
comparatively smaller combustion turbines. There is one unit operating with a limit of 1 ppmvd without
duct firing (Greensville Power Station) which has a smaller combustion turbine. There are three facilities
(Greensville Power Station, CPV Towantic, LLC, and West Deptford Energy Station that are operating
with limits lower than 1.9 ppmvd (limits are 1.6 ppmvd, 1.7 ppmvd, and 1.5 ppmvd, respectively) with
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 12
duct firing. The turbines and duct burners at these other facilities have significantly lower heat input
capacities and therefore are not appropriate for comparison to REC’s larger gas turbines and burners.
REC will meet BACT with an oxidation catalyst in combination with good combustion practices which is
top control technology of turbines. The proposed limits are consistent with numerous other recent and
past permitted combustion turbines of varying sizes and manufacturers.
Selection of VOC Control Technology to Meet LAER/BAT
The most effective control for VOC is an oxidation catalyst in combination with good combustion. The
lowest permitted VOC emission limit when firing natural gas without duct firing is 0.7 ppm at seven
different facilities identified by the RBLC search. Five of the seven facilities are currently operating and
meeting this limit. REC is proposing to meet 0.7 ppm when firing natural gas without duct firing.
With duct firing, the lowest permitted emission limit for VOC is 1.4 ppm at three facilities only one of
which is operating (Greensville Power Station). Greensville Power Station is equipped with duct burners
that are approximately half the size of the burners proposed by REC. The next highest limit for
combustion turbines with duct firing is 1.5 ppm which is achieved at four facilities currently in
commercial operation. The heat input of these duct burners is much lower (between 164 and 659
MMBtu/hr) than REC’s. There are four facilities with permit limits of 1.6 ppm with duct firing. Three are
in commercial operation, two of which are equipped with duct burners that are less than half the size of
REC’s duct burners. The third facility, Wildcat Point Generation Facility, has a lower duct burner heat
input of 892 MMBtu/hr than REC is proposing (1,005 MMBtu/hr). The next highest limit is 1.8 ppm
which is the limit that REC is proposing for its combustion turbines operating with duct firing.
VOC emission rates vary based on the level of duct burner firing. The amount of duct burner firing varies
with each individual project dependent on the energy demand and electricity the local grid can
accommodate. In addition, the combustion efficiency of a duct burner is lower than that of a turbine.
When duct firing constitutes a higher percentage of the overall heat input, the VOC concentration in the
combined exhaust gas will be higher than that of similar units with lower duct firing.
There is no single established BACT/LAER level for the various combustion turbine/duct burner size
combinations. VOC permit limits during duct firing operation should be determined in relation to the
designed heat capacity as well as anticipated dispatch. Supplemental duct firing capacity is optimized to
suit the capacity needs and operational profile of the installation. Higher levels of duct firing result in
higher levels of VOC emissions and the permitted VOC emissions must consider the amount of duct
firing for the specific installation. As the percent of duct burning increases relative to turbine firing,
VOC/CO emission concentrations of the combined exhaust streams are higher due to fact that duct burner
firing is not able to achieve the same level of emissions performance as compared to the highly efficient
and advanced design of turbine combustors. REC’s proposed duct burners are significantly larger than
most that are currently in commercial operation, thus the OEM’s proposed VOC emission rate of 1.8 ppm
while duct firing is considered to be the most stringent limit for this particular plant design.
In summary, REC proposes to meet LAER for VOC using good combustion practices in combination
with an oxidation catalyst. REC is proposing a VOC limit of 0.7 ppmvd @ 15% O2 when firing natural
gas (without duct firing), 1.8 ppmvd @ 15% O2 firing natural gas with duct firing, and 2 ppmvd @ 15%
O2 when firing ULSD.

3.3.4 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Sulfuric Acid Mist (H2SO4)
Emissions of SO2 from fuel combustion result from the oxidation of sulfur compounds present in the fuel.
SO2 emissions from combustion turbines burning natural gas and ULSD are inherently minimized by the
low sulfur content of the fuels. Flue gas desulfurization or scrubber systems are typically used on sulfur-
laden fuels such as coal and residual oil to remove SO2 in the flue gas stream. The following section
describes control technologies that can be applied to reduce SO2 emissions from combined cycle turbines
and identifies similar facilities for comparison to determine the best available control technology that will
be required.

Identification and Evaluation of SO2/H2SO4 Controls
The primary means for controlling emissions of SO2 and H2SO4 from dual fired combustion turbines is to
limit the sulfur content of the fuel. Add-on control technologies that are available to reduce SO2 emissions
include dry sorbent injection, wet scrubbing systems and spray dryer adsorbers. None of these add-on
control devices have been applied to combined cycle turbine applications identified in the RBLC or other
permit searches. For this reason, the BACT limits for SO2 and H2SO4 will be based on the sulfur content
of the fuels, similar to the most recently permitted sources in Pennsylvania.
Selection of SO2/H2SO4 Control Technology to Meet BACT/BAT
The fuel to be used in REC’s combustion turbines will consist of natural gas and ULSD. The SO2 and
H2SO4 emissions produced from combustion of these fuels are sufficiently low that add-on SO2 removal
technologies would not result in a significant environmental benefit or be cost-effective. REC proposes
the use of natural gas with sulfur content no greater than 0.4 gr S/100scf of gas, as well as the use of
ULSD with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm.

3.3.5 Ammonia
Ammonia will be emitted from the combined cycle turbines as a result of the ammonia injection
associated with the SCR. Greater levels of NOx reduction require greater amounts of ammonia to be
injected. There are no add-on control devices that would be practical for reducing ammonia emissions
from combined cycle turbines, and no add-on control technologies were identified in the RBLC or other
permit searches. Good operating practices are the only practical method of reducing emissions of
ammonia from combined cycle turbines that employ SCR technology.
Identification of Facilities with BAT for Ammonia
An RBLC search was conducted to determine controls recently permitted facilities have employed to
reduce ammonia emissions. It was determined that emission limits of 5 ppm NH3 slip were being
achieved using good operating practices with monitoring of NH3 injection and NOx control, with no add-
on control devices being installed. Two facilities are permitted and operating with an emission limit of 2
ppm NH3 slip (CPV Towantic, LLC and Salem Harbor Station). These are smaller units and not
comparable to REC’s turbines and duct burners. Killingly Energy Center is permitted at 2 ppm, however,
it is not operating.
Identification and Evaluation of Ammonia Controls
Ammonia emissions are primarily a function of the ammonia injection rate for the SCR system. A balance
must be achieved in order to maximize the NOx reductions, while limiting the ammonia emissions.
Ensuring good operating practices that will result in this balance being continuously met is the only
control technology/method practical to be employed in combined cycle turbines similar in nature to this
project.
Selection of Ammonia Control Technology to Meet BAT
REC will use good operating practices in order to meet BAT for emissions of ammonia. These practices
will include continuous monitoring of ammonia slip levels and NOx emissions in order to optimize the
SCR efficiency while minimizing emissions. REC is proposing an ammonia slip limit of 5 ppm when
firing natural gas or ULSD. Compliance will be demonstrated using a CEMS with a 3-hour block
average.
3.3.6 Startup and Shutdown Emissions
The emission limits discussed in the previous sections reflect steady-state operations of the combined
cycle turbines. During startup and/or shutdown (SUSD) of the turbines, the combustors cannot operate at
their maximum efficiency and the add-on control devices (SCR and oxidation catalyst) are not effective
due to the exhaust gas temperatures during SUSD being outside the normal operating range for those
devices. Specific information regarding the duration and operating load where “normal” emissions
compliance can be achieved can be seen in Appendix E. Therefore, the steady-state emission limits are
not appropriate for use during SUSD scenarios, as it would be impossible to consistently achieve the same
emissions performance during SUSD scenarios.
Because BACT limits are determined on a case-by-case basis of achievability (U.S. EPA Responses to
Public Comments on the Proposed PSD Permit for the Desert Rock Energy Facility, July 2008), REC is
proposing secondary BACT limits during periods of SUSD. Thus, the combustion turbines will have

emission limits that are both stringent during steady-state operations and achievable during SUSD
scenarios.
Tables 8 and 9 summarize the secondary BACT limits proposed for emissions during periods of SUSD
for natural gas firing and ULSD firing, respectively. Pollutants not included in this table are able to
achieve the primary BACT limits proposed above during periods of SUSD. The proposed secondary
BACT limits are based on mass emissions per event. Compliance with NOx and CO emissions will be
demonstrated using CEMS, and CO will be used as a surrogate for VOC with data gathered during the
initial stack testing. These values have been used in the facility-wide potential emissions estimates
included in this application.

3.4 BACT/BAT Evaluation For Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions From Turbines
GHG emissions from major stationary sources are regulated by EPA in accordance with the “tailoring
rule” contained in 40 CFR Part 51.166 – Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality as
amended on June 3, 2010. As of January 2, 2011, GHG emissions are subject to regulation if the source is
a proposed major source for a regulated non-GHG new source review (NSR) pollutant and will have the
potential to emit 75,000 tons or more of GHGs (represented as CO2 equivalent emissions (CO2e)).
Although the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that held that the EPA may not treat GHGs as an air
pollutant for the purposes of determining whether a proposed source is subject to PSD requirements, this
does not affect proposed sources that would otherwise be subject to PSD regulations for another pollutant.
For this reason, REC is required to complete a BACT analysis for emissions of GHGs from the combined
cycle turbines.
3.4.1 Identification and Evaluation of CO2 Control Technologies
Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Current CCS technologies are costly to install and operate due to the large parasitic energy requirement,
reducing the amount of electricity available for sale to the grid. Parasitic loads for current CCS
technologies are reported at between 21% to 32% of the plant output. Other challenges related to CCS
technology include the lack of regulatory framework for storing CO2 and uncertainty regarding liability
for stored CO2.
On February 3, 2010, President Obama established an Interagency Task Force on carbon capture and
storage co-chaired by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the EPA with the mission of proposing a plan
to overcome the barriers to the widespread, cost effective deployment of CCS within 10 years. In August
2010, the Task Force issued a 233 page report, “Report of the Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture
and Storage” that documents the Task Force’s findings, conclusions and recommendations. The report
states that the application of CCS to coal-fired power plant emissions offers the greatest potential for
GHG reductions.
Known barriers to widespread CCS deployment include:
• Lack of comprehensive climate change legislation - without a carbon price and financial
incentives for new technologies, there is no stable framework for investment in low-carbon
technologies such as CCS.
• Regulatory uncertainty – uncertainty and limited experience exists for the regulating and
permitting of CCS. Potential concerns exist for the long-term liabilities for CO2 storage sites.
• Aggregation of pore space for geologic storage on private lands.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 17
• Public awareness and support of CCS is currently unknown and may be project specific.
Since CCS is not commercially available or cost effective and issues exist for its storage and permitting,
REC concludes that it is not a feasible control option for its dual-fueled combined cycle electric
generating facility.
Energy Efficiency
Efficient production of electricity is an important aspect in reducing GHG emissions. Reducing the
amount of fuel required to produce the same amount of electric power results in lower GHG emissions, as
GHG emissions are largely a function of the fuel composition. In addition to proposing one of the most
efficient gas turbines offered by gas turbine manufacturers, REC’s energy efficient design includes
systems to monitor combustion at all times to ensure maximum combustion efficiency. Optimizing
combustion efficiency not only reduces emissions of GHGs, but also results in reduced emissions of other
pollutants as well (NOx in particular). The combined cycle turbines will be equipped with a continuous
emissions monitoring system that will include monitoring for oxygen, a key parameter in determining
combustion efficiency.
Energy efficiency can also be increased by utilizing good combustion practices, which include proper air
and fuel mixing, adequate residence time in the combustion zone, proper maintenance and operation of
the burner, and achieving the proper temperature in the combustion zone. Additionally, ensuring that the
fuel supply is consistent with minimal fluctuations in quality further improves energy efficiency.
Type of Fuel
Utilizing fuels that have low amounts of CO2 is another way to reduce GHG emissions. The following
table lists the CO2 content of various fuels typically used for electricity generation.
TABLE 10 CO2 EMISSION FACTORS FOR VARIOUS FUEL TYPES
FUEL TYPE CO2 CONTENT IN KG/MMBTU
Coal 95.52
Residual Fuel Oil 75.10
Distillate Fuel Oil 73.96
Natural Gas 53.06
The primary use of natural gas will appreciably reduce CO2 emissions when compared to solid or liquid
fuels. The selection of distillate oil as a backup fuel is the most appropriate alternative when considering
CO2 emissions. REC is proposing to combust primarily natural gas, utilizing ULSD as a backup fuel for
times when natural gas may be unavailable and electrical demand requires the plant to operate.
3.4.2 Ranking of Technically Feasible Options
Carbon capture, while technically feasible, is not commercially available or cost effective for natural gas
and ULSD fueled electric generating facilities. EPA and DOE’s Task Force Report concludes that while
CCS can play an important role in GHG emission reductions, current barriers exist that hinder near and
long-term deployment of CCS technology.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 18
Energy efficiency, the use of natural gas as the primary fuel with ULSD to be used on a very limited basis
as back-up fuel and good operating and maintenance practices are all technically feasible control options,
all of which REC will implement. As a result, none of these control options needs to be further evaluated
based on energy, environmental, and economic impacts.
3.4.3 Selection of CO2 Control Technology to Meet BACT/BAT
REC will implement energy efficiency, natural gas and ULSD fuel and good operating and maintenance
practices for CO2 control. REC will operate the equipment in accordance with manufacture’s
specifications.
REC is not proposing limits in terms of Btu/kW-hr relative to GHG emissions from the turbines. Several
similar facilities in Pennsylvania were recently issued permits without such an efficiency rate limit
(Hickory Run Energy Station, Berks Hollow Energy Association, Westmoreland Generating Station),
which is due to the difficulty to enforce due to its dependency on ambient temperature and turbine load. A
Btu/kW-hr efficiency rate is also unnecessary with a mass-based emission limit in place that meets the
definition of BACT contained in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(12). In EPA’s comments on the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources’ draft of the PSD Permit for Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Jones
Island Water Reclamation Facility, EPA points out that the definition of BACT allows for the use of a
design standard in lieu of an emission limitation only if imposing an emission limitation is infeasible.
EPA requested that a numerical BACT emission limit be imposed, and suggested units of pounds of CO2e
emitted per megawatt hour of electricity produced, on a 12-month rolling average.
REC is proposing a GHG BACT limit of 962 lb/MW-hr of CO2e, to be demonstrated with a CEMS based
on a 12-month rolling average.
3.5 Hazardous Air Pollutants
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from combined cycle turbines are the result of incomplete
combustion. All hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from natural gas combustion are VOCs.
Negligible amounts of metal HAPs are emitted from the combustion of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Control of metal HAPs is accomplished through the particulate matter BAT/BACT analysis outlined
above. The following section describes potential control technologies that can be applied to reduce
VOC/HAP emissions from REC’s combined cycle turbines and identifies similar facilities for
comparisons to determine the best available control technology that will be required.

3.5.1 Identification and Evaluation of VOC/HAP Controls
As listed in the above table the control technologies for evaluation in the BAT analysis to control volatile
organic HAP emissions from REC’s dual fired combustion turbine turbines consist of oxidation catalysts
and combustion controls. Combustion controls are designed to minimize incomplete combustion by
improving oxidation of volatile organic HAPs to CO2. This is achieved by ensuring that the combustors
are designed and operated to allow complete mixing of the combustion air and fuel at combustion
temperatures with an excess of combustion air. Oxidation catalysts are post combustion controls to reduce
volatile organic HAP emissions in some turbine and reciprocating engine applications. Oxidation
catalysts typically operate at temperatures of 700°F to 1,100°F to be effective and thus for combustion
turbine applications are typically placed in the exhaust gas stream where this temperature range for the
exhaust of 700°F to 1,100°F can be ensured. An oxidation catalyst operating outside of this temperature
range will experience additional deterioration beyond what would be expected of a properly located
oxidation catalyst. Oxidation catalysts have an average efficiency of approximately 50 percent for HAP
reduction.
3.5.2 Selection VOC/HAP Control Technology to Meet BAT
The most effective control for volatile organic HAPs from a combustion turbine is an oxidation catalyst in
combination with good combustion practices.
The only facilities identified in the BAT search with a short term emission rate for HAP emissions are
Garrison Energy Center, Westmoreland Generating Station, Sunbury Generation and Duke Energy.
REC’s HAP emissions are presented in Appendix D of this submittal, including formaldehyde emissions
which is based on a concentration of 45.5 ppbvd corrected to 15% O2.
REC is proposing the following hazardous air pollutant (HAP) limits for each power block:
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC

HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT
NATURAL GAS SHORT TERM LIMIT (LB/HR)

ANNUAL LIMIT (TPY)
Formaldehyde 0.54 0.47 2.42
Toluene 0.23 NA 0.87
Manganese 3.7E-4 3.11 1.12
Toluene and manganese emission rates are based on AP-42 emission factors. Formaldehyde limit is based
on vendor data and an oxidation catalyst control efficiency of 50%.
REC will meet BAT for volatile organic HAPs through the use of good combustion practices in
combination with an oxidation catalyst on each combustion turbine. To be a minor source of HAPs, REC
is proposing a limit of 24.9 tons per year for facility-wide total HAPs, and 9.9 tons per year for any
individual HAP.
3.6 BACT/LAER/BAT Determination Auxiliary Boilers
REC is proposing to install two auxiliary “package” boilers each with a maximum rated heat input of 66
MMBtu/hr firing natural gas. Industrial package boilers are pre-assembled units that are delivered to the
site as a prefabricated unit. Package boilers are very compact and utilize a small furnace volume.
The auxiliary boilers’ function is to provide steam to the steam turbine on start-up, during maintenance
shutdown and for the steam turbine sealing process. Due to their function, the boilers will not be run
continuously or for long periods of time; their use will be limited. REC is proposing a limit on total fuel
use of 145,200 MMBtu per year for both boilers.
3.6.1 Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Generally NOx is formed during combustion by thermal oxidation of nitrogen in the combustion air
(thermal NOx) and the oxidation of nitrogen in the fuel (fuel-bound NOx). Natural gas contains relatively
small amounts of fuel-bound nitrogen and NOx formation through the fuel NOx mechanism is expected
to be insignificant. The main variables affecting NOx generation in the boilers are temperature, the
availability of nitrogen, the availability of oxygen, and the extent of contact between nitrogen and oxygen
during the combustion process.
Identification of NOx Control Technologies
NOx control techniques are generally organized into two separate categories: combustion controls and
post-combustion controls. Combustion controls affect the combustion conditions to minimize the
formation of NOx, while post-combustion controls remove NOx after it is formed. Combustion control
techniques have been demonstrated as successful in achieving NOx reductions from industrial boilers in a
cost-effective manner. The combustion control methods available to control thermal NOx on boilers
include low and ultra-low NOx burners and flue gas recirculation.
A search of EPA’s RBLC did not identify the application of post-combustion controls to natural gas fired
auxiliary boilers of this size. Table 12 below identifies the facilities in EPA’s RBLC with
BACT/LAER/BAT limits.

Combustion Controls
Low NOx Burner
The “low NOx burner” (LNB) design generally refers to a set of burner components (e.g. burner register,
atomizing nozzle, diffuser) that are intended to achieve lower NOx by mixing the fuel and combustion air
in a way that limits NOx formation. This is generally done by mixing the combustion air and fuel in
multiple stages, and by utilizing a specially designed nozzle and/or diffuser to achieve a particular flame
pattern.
Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR)
Flue gas recirculation, or FGR, has generally been an effective method of reducing NOx emissions from
gas-fired industrial boilers. With FGR, a portion of the boiler’s exhaust gas is recirculated back to the
burner where it is mixed with combustion air and introduced into the combustion zone. The relatively
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 22
cool flue gas absorbs heat released by the burner flame, thereby lowering peak flame temperatures and
thermal NOx formation. Flue gas recirculation can be accomplished by either using a separate FGR fan to
move the exhaust gases back to the burner, or by using the boiler’s combustion air fan to “induce” the
gases to the burner.
Ultra-Low NOx Burner
Ultra-low NOx burner technology consists of using a combination of lean-premix combustion, fuel
staging, and zoned internal furnace gas recirculation to achieve lower NOx emissions than achieved by
typical low NOx burners and FGR.
Post-combustion Controls
Post-combustion technologies include selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective non-catalytic
reduction (SNCR).
SCR uses a catalyst to convert NOx to nitrogen gas. An ammonia-based reagent is injected into the
boiler’s combustion gases upstream of the catalyst, and the reactions to remove NOx occur in the
presence of the catalyst. The catalyst allows the ammonia to reduce NOx levels at lower exhaust
temperatures than selective non-catalytic reduction. The optimum temperature range for SCR technology
is typically 600 to 750° F. Thus, most SCR installations have incorporated the catalyst into the heat
recovery section of the boiler to meet the required temperature window. SCR can result in NOx
reductions of up to 90%. However, SCR has a high capital cost and is not economically feasible on
boilers with a heat input capacity of less than 100 MMBtu/hr with low potential NOx emissions due to the
use of natural gas and limited operating hours.
SNCR is based on the chemical reduction of the NO2 molecule into nitrogen and water vapor. SNCR
involves the injection of an ammonia-based reagent directly into the furnace section of the boiler with a
temperature window of 1,600 to 2,100° F. Under these conditions, the reagent will react with and reduce
NOx emissions without the need for a catalyst. Selective non-catalytic reduction reduces NOx up to 70%
in combination with combustion controls. However, SNCR tends to be less effective at lower levels of
uncontrolled NOx. SNCR requires large furnace volumes and residence time for gas mixing in addition to
a specific and stable temperature window in the furnace where the ammonia-based reagent is injected.
The auxiliary boilers will have limited operation and varied load due to their function as well as small
furnace volume, which is not ideal for the required temperature and mixing time. Therefore, REC
concludes that SNCR is not technically feasible.
Evaluation of Technically Feasible Control Options
At stated above, although SCR may be a technically feasible option, REC has not identified any auxiliary
boilers in the 66 MMBtu/hr size range that are equipped with SCR. In addition, SCR is not an
economically feasible option for boilers of this size/limited use and the use of ultra-low NOx
burners/FGR can achieve an emission rate comparable to that of SCR.
Selection of LAER/BAT for NOx
REC’s two auxiliary boilers will be equipped with ultra-low NOx burners or a combination of low NOx
burner technology with FGR to achieve an emission limit of 0.006 lb/MMBtu. In addition, REC will limit
total fuel use to 145,200 MMBtu per year (both boilers combined).

PAGE 23
3.6.2 Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide forms in combustion devices as a product of incomplete combustion. Production of
CO results when there is a lack of oxygen and insufficient residence time at high enough temperatures to
complete the final step in oxidation. Controlling these factors to decrease CO, however, also tends to
result in increased emissions of NOx. Conversely, a lower NOx emission rate achieved through flame
temperature control may result in higher levels of CO emissions. Thus a balance must be established,
whereby the flame temperature, residence time and excess oxygen are set to achieve the lowest NOx
emission rate possible to comply with LAER while keeping CO emissions to an acceptable level.
3.5.2.1 Identification of CO Control Technologies
There are basically two options for the control of CO emissions from boilers less than 100 MMBtu/hr
heat input: combustion controls and an oxidation catalyst.
The table below identifies CO controls and limits for facilities with natural gas fired auxiliary boilers of
this size in EPA’s RBLC.

Combustion Controls
CO combustion control performance is a function of available oxygen, combustion temperature,
turbulence, and residence time. Formation of CO is a result of incomplete combustion of the fuel.
Adequate fuel residence time and high temperature in the combustion zone can ensure minimal CO
formation. A properly designed combustion system is effective at limiting CO formation by maintaining
the optimum combustion zone temperature and amount of excess oxygen. Unfortunately, the addition of
excess air and maintenance of high combustion temperatures for control of CO emissions may lead to
increased NOx emissions. Consequently, typical practice is to design the combustion system such that CO
emissions are reduced as much as possible without causing NOx levels to significantly increase.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 24
Add-on Emission Controls
The only add-on control device that is commercially available for controlling CO emissions from boilers
is an oxidation catalyst. The catalyst lowers the activation energy necessary for CO to react with available
oxygen in the exhaust to produce CO2. Oxidation catalysts operate optimally at a temperature range of
500° to 700° F and can also reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, but to a lesser extent
than CO.

Economic Impacts
An economic analysis was performed to identify the cost effectiveness of installing and operating an
oxidation catalyst to reduce CO emissions by approximately 90%. The total capital cost estimate on a per
boiler basis is presented in Table 14 in a format consistent with the cost estimation procedures in EPA’s
Office of Air Quality Planning and standards (OAQPS) Control Cost Manual, sixth edition (January
2002). The total annualized capital investment and annual cost of operating an oxidation catalyst were
calculated using procedures in the OAQPS Control Cost Manual. The annual costs for the construction

Based on the cost analysis shown in Tables 14 and 15, the average cost effectiveness of an oxidation
catalyst equals $9,110 per ton of CO removed. The dollar per ton value does not support the use of an
oxidation catalyst as BACT/BAT for REC’s auxiliary boilers.
Energy and Environmental Impacts
The increase flow resistance created by the oxidation catalyst results in a pressure drop across the
combustion chamber requiring a corresponding increase in fan speed for the inlet air. The estimated
negative energy impact caused by the pressure drop is as follows:
3.79 kW x 2,200 hours per year = 8,338 kW-hours/year
(note: 3.79 kW is the power requirement based on a pressure drop of 3 psia)
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 26
Environmental impacts would include the increased energy requirements for operation and the waste
generated from the spent catalyst. The marginal environmental benefit associated with reducing CO
emissions by a maximum potential of 1.93 tons per year in the project area does not justify the application
of an oxidation catalyst.
Selection of BACT/BAT for CO
REC proposes good combustion practices and a CO limit of 0.036 lb/MMBtu as BACT/BAT for the
auxiliary boilers.

Identification of VOC Control Technologies
Like CO emissions, VOC emissions occur from incomplete combustion. Effective boiler design and post-
combustion control using oxidation catalysts are the available technologies for controlling VOC
emissions from boilers.
Evaluation of VOC Control Options
Similar to CO, the energy, environmental, and economic impacts of an oxidation catalyst do not support
its use. VOC emissions are lower than CO and the removal efficiency is lower, therefore the dollar per ton
value would be higher than that for CO. In addition, REC did not identify any facilities with an oxidation
catalyst for the control of VOC emissions.
Selection of LAER/BAT for VOC
REC proposes good combustion practices and effective boiler design to meet LAER/BAT for the
auxiliary boilers. The Hickory Run Energy Station and Berks Hollow Energy emission limit for VOC is
lower than other BACT/LAER determinations contained in the RBLC database. REC contacted Ed Orris
and Tom Flaherty of PaDEP’s Northwest Regional Office to request further information on Hickory
Run’s auxiliary boiler. Based on Tom Flaherty’s review of the application, the VOC emission limit was
based on vendor data, however vendor specifications were not included in the application. REC contacted
David Wilson of LS Power (the applicant) who indicated that the emission limit in the Hickory Run
application was taken from LS Power’s application for their Berks Hollow Energy facility. Although the
permit for Berks Hollow was issued after the permit for Hickory Run, the application for Berks Hollow
preceded that of Hickory Run. REC then contacted Thomas Hanlon of PaDEP’s Southcentral Regional
Office to obtain more information on the Berks Hollow auxiliary boiler’s VOC limit. Thomas Hanlon
reviewed the application and did not find any vendor specification data to support the 0.0015 lb/MMBtu
limit. Thomas Hanlon further reviewed the application material and the history of the plan approval
development and based on the following facts has concluded that is it quite possible and likely that the
VOC emission limit was transposed from 0.0051 lb/MMBtu from another LAER determination to 0.0015
lb/MMBtu and was established as the VOC limit for Berks Hollow and Hickory Run’s auxiliary boiler.
• No vendor data is available in either Berks Hollow or Hickory Run’s application to support a
VOC limit of 0.0015 lb/MMBtu.
• Berks Hollow application quoted a LAER determination for Plant McDonough in Smyrna,
Georgia. The LAER limit established for Plant McDonough was 0.0051 lb VOC/MMBtu and is
contained in their current permit.
• Further into the Berks Hollow application the LAER determination was identified as 0.0015
lb/MMBtu instead of 0.0051 lb/MMBtu.
• PaDEP presented the 0.0015 value in the draft plan approval for Berks Hollow.
• Since Berks Hollow and Hickory Run applications were nearly identical and submitted by the
same company and the draft plan approvals were being developed around the same timeframe, for
consistency purposes the two regional offices provided the same limits and requirements in each
plan approval. Therefore, a VOC limit of 0.0015 lb/MMBtu was drafted into the plan approval
for Hickory Run.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 28
• No comments were received by LS Power for either facility and the 0.0015 lb/MMBtu was
established in the final plan approvals as the VOC limit for the auxiliary boilers.
• Neither facility has been built and the 0.0015 lb/MMBtu limit has not been demonstrated in
practice.
In light of the information summarized above, REC maintains that 0.0015 lb/MMBtu is not LAER for its
auxiliary boilers.
The next lowest emissions limits are for CPV St. Charles and Keys Energy Center. Both facilities are
operating and the VOC limit is 0.002 lb/MMBtu.
REC proposes good combustion practices, effective boiler design, and an emission limit of 0.002
lb/MMBtu as LAER/BAT for its auxiliary boilers.

Identification of PM Control Technologies
PM emission rates from natural gas combustion are inherently low because of very high combustion
efficiencies and the clean burning nature of natural gas. Best combustion practices will ensure proper
air/fuel mixing ratios to achieve complete combustion, minimizing emissions of unburned hydrocarbons
that can lead to the formation of PM emissions. There are several post combustion technologies for the
control of PM emissions that are generally available, however none are considered practical or technically
and economically feasible for natural gas fired boilers of this size.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 29
Evaluation of PM Control Options
EPA’s RBLC database research indicates that there are no BACT precedents for TSP/PM10 requiring add-
on controls, which supports the only PM control option available for auxiliary boilers of this size is low
sulfur, pipeline quality natural gas and good combustion practices. The emission limit of 0.0018
lb/MMBtu for The Holland Board of Public Works and Thetford Generating Station boilers is based on
EPA’s AP-42.
Selection of BAT for PM
BACT/BAT for TSP/PM10 is proposed to be the use of low sulfur, pipeline quality natural gas and
efficient combustion. REC proposes to meet an emission limit of 0.0019 lb/MMBtu (filterable only)
which is based on an AP-42 emission factor of 1.9 lb/106 SCF. The four RBLC entries of 0.0018
lb/MMBtu are also based on AP-42 with emission factor conversion and rounding the reason for the
slightly lower limit.

SO2 and SO3 are formed during the combustion process as a result of thermal oxidation of sulfur
contained in the fuel. SO3 combines with water vapor released during combustion to form sulfuric acid
(H2SO4) vapor. The only technically and economically feasible technology available to control SO2 and
H2SO4 and from auxiliary boilers of this size is the use of low sulfur fuel, in addition to a limit on total
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 30
fuel use of 145,200 MMBtu per year for both boilers. REC proposes to meet a BACT emission limit for
SO2 of 0.00058 lb/MMBtu and the BACT identified emissions limit of 9.0 x 10-5 lb/MMbtu for H2SO4
emissions.
3.6.6 Identification of BACT for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
The only feasible option for reducing GHG emissions from the auxiliary boilers is to use natural gas,
which is the fuel with the lowest pollutant emissions. In addition, emissions will be minimized since REC
is requesting a limit on fuel use.
3.7 BACT/LAER/BAT Determination For Emergency Generator And Fire Pump Diesel Engines
REC is proposing to install one 1,500 kW diesel emergency generator to supply emergency power for the
facility’s critical electrical loads in the event of a power outage. Diesel fired compression ignition
emergency engine generators are proposed as the only technical feasible option to provide critical
electrical loads during a power outage. Natural gas fired generators are not a practical option because in
the event that a power grid outage and a natural gas outage occur at the same time, REC would not have
the necessary power it would need to operate the facility. In addition, REC is proposing a 237 HP diesel
engine powered fire water pump as required by fire codes to provide backup fire water pumping pressure
in the event of a failure of the primary pump systems.
REC’s emergency generator engine and firewater pump engine will each be fired with ultra-low sulfur
diesel (ULSD) containing no more than 0.0015 percent sulfur by weight. Excluding emergencies, each
diesel engine will operate no more than 100 hours per year for testing and maintenance purposes.
REC reviewed LAER and BACT determinations published in the RBLC, PaDEP’s General Plan
Approval for Diesel Internal Combustion Turbines (BAQ-GPA/GP 9), in addition to guidelines and
determinations from three California districts as follows:
• Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) BACT Guideline for emergency CI
internal combustion (IC) engines >50 hp
http://hank.baaqmd.gov/pmt/bactworkbook/default.htm
• San Joaquin Valley Air Quality Management District (SJVAQMD) BACT Guideline 3.1.1 for
emergency diesel IC engines
www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/bact/chapter3.pdf
• South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) LAER/BACT Determinations for
emergency CI engines
http://aqmd.gov/bact/aqmdbactdeterminations.htm
Current BAAQMD, SCAQMD, and SJVAQMD BACT guidelines all require new stationary emergency
CI engines to meet applicable EPA NSPS or CARB tier standards for NOx, CO, PM10, and VOC. These
same guidelines require the use of ULSD to control SO2 emissions.
The potentially available control options for reducing emissions from diesel engine emergency generators
and fire pump engines include combustion controls, selective catalytic reduction SCR), and non-selective
catalytic reduction (NSCR). Combustion controls are implemented in the design of the engine. Typical
design features include electronic engine controls, injection systems, combustion chamber geometry, and
turbocharging systems. New engines are designed with these features as standard equipment.
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 31
Based on a review of EPA’s RBLC and other permits, no add-on controls were identified for diesel
engines of this size and limited operation (see Tables 19, 20, 21, and 22). SCR is a post-combustion NOx
reduction technology and uses ammonia to react with NOx in the gas stream in the presence of a catalyst
to form nitrogen and water. SCR has not been a demonstrated NOx control technology for emergency use
engines. SCR would not be economically feasible based on a cost per ton of pollutant controlled
considering the minimal emissions due to limited use of the engines. In addition, SCR is not technically
feasible for engines requiring quick start-ups and short operating periods. NSCR is not effective in
controlling emissions from lean burn engines and would not be an appropriate control technology since
diesel engines inherently operate lean. According to EPA’s AP-42 Section 3.2.4.1, “the NSCR technique
is effectively limited to engines with normal exhaust oxygen levels of 4 percent or less. This includes 4-
stroke rich-burn naturally aspirated engines and some 4-stroke rich-burn turbocharged engines. Engines
operating with NSCR require tight air-to-fuel control to maintain high reduction effectiveness without
high hydrocarbon emissions. To achieve effective NOx reduction performance, the engine may need to be
run with a richer fuel adjustment than normal. This exhaust excess oxygen level would probably be closer
to 1 percent. Lean-burn engines could not be retrofitted with NSCR control because of the reduced
exhaust temperatures”. Therefore, the only feasible control technology for the diesel fired emergency
engines is combustion controls.

3.7.2 Selection of BACT/LAER/BAT For Emergency Generator And Fire Pump Engine
REC is proposing that BACT/LAER/BAT for the emergency generator engine and fire pump engine is
state of the art design with good combustion practices and compliance with the Tier standards contained
in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII for emergency engines of the sizes proposed. Tier 2 standards will apply to
the emergency generator engine and Tier 3 standards will apply to the fire pump engine. The following
table summarizes REC’s proposed BACT/LAER/BAT emission limits for each device. NOx, CO, and
PM limits for the generator are based on nominal vendor data and EPA’s weighted emissions calculator
for constant speed engines (40 CFR Part 89, Table 2 of Appendix B to Section E). Generator engine VOC
limit is based on maximum calculated emission rate provided by the vendor. For the fire pump engine,
NOx, CO, VOC, and PM limits are based on vendor data.

REC is proposing to limit the operation of the emergency generator engine to 500 hours per year and the
operation of the fire pump engine to 250 hours per year. Both engines will fire ultra-low sulfur diesel with
a maximum sulfur content of 0.0015%. Based on the proposed limits and operating hours, potential
emissions are provided in Table 24:

PAGE 34
Based on the RBLC review, a few facilities have been identified with emission limits that are lower than
the standards REC is proposing.
The facilities with lower emission limits initially proposed compliance with the NSPS standards and
provided vendor data to support their applications. The vendor data included “nominal” emission rates
which are subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and engine to engine variations and are not
guaranteed by the vendor. The permitting agencies established the nominal emission rates as limits in the
permit. Based on discussions with engine manufacturer representatives, any emissions data that is
provided by the vendor and is subject to variations is not guaranteed by the manufacturer and should not
be established as emission limits in a permit because the rates may not be able to be demonstrated in
practice for any given engine. Typically, engine manufacturers test one representative engine to
demonstrate compliance with EPA’s Tier Standards. The testing is conducted under specific, controlled
conditions. There is usually a suitable margin between the test results and the standards to allow for
engine deterioration. The engine manufacturers certify to the Tier standards, not to the test results. At this
time, regulatory agencies typically do not require facilities to demonstrate compliance with emergency
engine emission limits, however it is important to establish rates that are reasonably achievable in
practice, in the event that emission testing is required at a future time. Therefore, REC is disregarding the
lower limits since they are based on nominal data and not certified or guaranteed by the manufacturer of
the engines.
In conclusion, REC is proposing to meet BACT/LAER/BAT by complying with proposed emission limits
contained in Table 23. In addition, REC will limit the operating hours of the emergency generator engine
to 500 hours per year and 250 hours per year for the fire pump engine. Both engines will fire ultra-low
sulfur diesel with a maximum sulfur content of 0.0015%. Regarding greenhouse gas emissions,
BACT/LAER/BAT for these engines is limiting the hours of operation.
3.8 BACT/LAER/BAT Determination Water Bath Heaters
REC is proposing to install three water bath heaters each with a maximum rated heat input of 15
MMBtu/hr firing natural gas. Only two heaters will be operating at a given time, the third is for backup
only. The function of the water bath heaters are to provide heat to incoming natural gas pipelines to
increase the temperature of the incoming gas to prevent freezing of the gas regulating valves under certain
gas system operating conditions. The heater will be permitted to operate up to 8,760 hours per year,
although they will not be necessary to operate at full capacity during warmer weather.
3.8.1 Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
NOx is formed during combustion by thermal oxidation of nitrogen in the combustion air (thermal NOx)
and the oxidation of nitrogen in the fuel (fuel-bound NOx). Natural gas contains relatively small amounts
of fuel-bound nitrogen, thus NOx formation through the fuel NOx mechanism is expected to be
insignificant. The main variables affecting NOx generation in the heater are temperature, the availability
of nitrogen, the availability of oxygen, and the extent of contact between nitrogen and oxygen during the
combustion process.
Identification of NOx Control Technologies
NOx control techniques are generally organized into two separate categories: combustion controls and
post-combustion controls. Combustion controls affect the combustion conditions to minimize the
formation of NOx, while post-combustion controls remove NOx after it is formed. Combustion control
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 35
techniques have been demonstrated as successful in achieving NOx reductions from heaters in a cost-
effective manner. The combustion control method available to control thermal NOx on water bath heaters
is low NOx burner technology.
A search of EPA’s RBLC did not identify the application of post-combustion controls to natural gas fired
water bath heaters. Table 25 below identifies the facilities in EPA’s RBLC with BACT/LAER/BAT
limits.

Ultra low NOx burners
Combustion Controls
Low NOx Burner
The “low NOx burner” (LNB) generally refers to a set of burner components (e.g. burner register,
atomizing nozzle, diffuser) that are designed to achieve lower NOx by mixing the fuel and combustion air
in a way that limits NOx formation. This is generally done by mixing the combustion air and fuel in
multiple stages, and by utilizing a specially designed nozzle and/or diffuser to achieve a particular flame
pattern.
Post-combustion Controls
Post-combustion technologies include SCR and SNCR.
SCR uses a catalyst to convert NOx to nitrogen gas. An ammonia-based reagent is injected into the
heater’s combustion gases upstream of the catalyst, and the reactions to remove NOx occur in the
presence of the catalyst. The catalyst allows the ammonia to reduce NOx levels at lower exhaust
temperatures than selective non-catalytic reduction. The optimum temperature range for SCR technology
is typically 600 to 750° F. SCR can result in NOx reductions of up to 90%. However, SCR has a high
capital cost and is not economically feasible on heaters with a heat input capacity of less than 100
MMBtu/hr with low NOx emissions due to the use of natural gas.
SNCR is based on the chemical reduction of the NO2 molecule into nitrogen and water vapor. SNCR
involves the injection of an ammonia-based reagent directly into the furnace section with a temperature
window of 1,600 to 2,100° F. Under these conditions, the reagent will react with and reduce NOx
emissions without the need for a catalyst. Selective non-catalytic reduction reduces NOx up to 70% in
combination with combustion controls. However, SNCR tends to be less effective at lower levels of
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 36
uncontrolled NOx. SNCR requires large furnace volumes and residence time for gas mixing in addition to
a specific and stable temperature window in the furnace where the ammonia-based reagent is injected.
Due to the large furnace requirements, SNCR is technically feasible. In addition, it is not an economically
feasible option for heaters of this size.
Evaluation of Technically Feasible Control Options
REC has not identified any water bath heaters in the 15 MMBtu/hr size range that are equipped with SCR
or SNCR. In addition, post control technology is not an economically feasible option for heaters of this
size. The use of low NOx burners and good combustion practices are the top control options.
Selection of LAER/BAT for NOx
REC’s water bath heaters will be equipped with low NOx burners to achieve an emission limit of 0.011
lb/MMBtu.
3.8.2 Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide forms in combustion devices as a product of incomplete combustion. Production of CO
results when there is a lack of oxygen and insufficient residence time at high enough temperatures to
complete the final step in oxidation. Controlling these factors to decrease CO, however, also tends to
result in increased emissions of NOx. Conversely, a lower NOx emission rate achieved through flame
temperature control may result in higher levels of CO emissions. Thus a balance must be established,
whereby the flame temperature, residence time and excess oxygen are set to achieve the lowest NOx
emission rate possible to comply with LAER while keeping CO emissions to an acceptable level.
Identification of CO Control Technologies
There are basically two options for the control of CO emissions from water bath heaters less than 100
MMBtu/hr heat input: combustion controls and oxidation catalyst.
The table below identifies CO controls and limits for facilities with natural gas fired water bath heaters in
EPA’s RBLC with BACT/LAER/BAT limits.

Combustion Controls
CO combustion control performance is a function of available oxygen, combustion temperature,
turbulence, and residence time. Formation of CO is a result of incomplete combustion of the fuel.
Adequate fuel residence time and high temperature in the combustion zone can ensure minimal CO
formation. A properly designed combustion system is effective at limiting CO formation by maintaining
the optimum combustion zone temperature and amount of excess oxygen. Unfortunately, the addition of
excess air and maintenance of high combustion temperatures for control of CO emissions may lead to
increased NOx emissions. Consequently, typical practice is to design the combustion system such that CO
emissions are reduced as much as possible without causing NOx levels to significantly increase.
Add-on Emission Controls
The only add-on control device that is commercially available for controlling CO emissions from water
bath heaters is an oxidation catalyst. The catalyst lowers the activation energy necessary for CO to react
with available oxygen in the exhaust to produce CO2. An oxidation catalyst can also reduce VOC
emissions, but to a lesser extent than CO. Oxidation catalysts operate optimally at a temperature range of
500° to 700° F.
Evaluation of CO Control Options
Oxidation catalysts are not an economically feasible option for water bath heaters of this size and REC is
not aware of any current installations on water bath heaters around 15 MMBtu/hr. Good combustion
practices is the BACT/BAT available control option for CO from REC’s water bath heaters.
Selection of BACT/BAT for CO
REC proposes good combustion practices and a CO limit of 0.037 lb/MMBtu as BACT/BAT for the
water bath heaters. The only lower rate identified is for Mattawoman Energy Center that has not been
built.

Identification of VOC Control Technologies
Like CO emissions, VOC emissions occur from incomplete combustion. Effective heater design and post-
combustion control using oxidation catalysts are the available technologies for controlling VOC
emissions from water bath heaters.
Evaluation of VOC Control Options
Similar to CO, the economic impacts of an oxidation catalyst do not support its use. VOC emissions are
lower than CO and the removal efficiency is lower, therefore the dollar per ton value would be higher
than that for CO. In addition, REC did not identify any facilities with an oxidation catalyst for the control
of VOC emissions.
Selection of LAER/BAT for VOC
REC proposes good combustion practices, effective heater design, and an emission limit of 0.005
lb/MMBtu as LAER/BAT for its water bath heaters.

Identification of PM Control Technologies
PM emission rates from natural gas combustion are inherently low because of very high combustion
efficiencies and the clean burning nature of natural gas. Best combustion practices will ensure proper
air/fuel mixing ratios to achieve complete combustion, minimizing emissions of unburned hydrocarbons
that can lead to the formation of PM emissions. There are several post combustion technologies for the
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 39
control of PM emissions that are generally available, however none are considered practical or technically
and economically feasible for water bath heaters of this size.
Evaluation of PM Control Options
EPA’s RBLC database research indicates that there are no BACT precedents for PM requiring add-on
controls for a natural gas fired water bath heaters of this size. Therefore, the only PM control option
available for water bath heaters of this size is low sulfur, pipeline quality natural gas and good
combustion practices.
Selection of BAT for PM
BACT/BAT for PM is proposed to be the use of low sulfur, pipeline quality natural gas and efficient
combustion. REC proposes to meet an emissions limit of 0.0019 lb/MMBtu which is identical to the limit
proposed for the natural gas fired auxiliary boilers and is based on AP-42.

Selection of BACT/BAT for SO2 and H2SO4
SO2 and SO3 are formed during the combustion process as a result of thermal oxidation of sulfur
contained in the fuel. SO3 combines with water vapor released during combustion to form sulfuric acid
(H2SO4) vapor. The only technically and economically feasible technology available to control SO2 and
H2SO4 and from water bath heaters of this size is the use of low sulfur fuel. To allow for consistency with
the BACT/BAT determination for the auxiliary boilers, REC proposes to meet 0.0005 lb/MMBtu for SO2
from the water bath heaters. REC will meet a BACT emission limit for H2SO4 of 0.001 lb/MMbtu. In
addition, emissions will be minimized through the use of low sulfur content natural gas.
3.8.6 Identification of BACT for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
The only feasible option for reducing GHG emissions from the water bath heaters is to use natural gas,
which is the fuel with the lowest pollutant emissions.
3.9 High Voltage Circuit Breakers Equipment Leaks BACT/BAT Analysis
REC will have twelve high voltage circuit breakers within the facility’s electrical switchyard. Six circuit
breakers will contain 345 pounds of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and the remaining six circuit breakers will
contain 165 pounds of SF6. SF6 is a highly effective electrical insulating dielectric fluid used for
interrupting arcs and is superior to other dielectric fluids. SF6 is a greenhouse gas with a “global warming
potential” of 22,800 on a 100-year time horizon, which means its impact as a greenhouse gas is 22,800
times greater than that of CO2.
REC’s circuit breakers will be designed as totally enclosed pressure systems with low potential SF6
fugitive emissions (equipment leaks). Leakage is expected to be minimal and equipment will be built to
low leakage design limits. The International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 62271-1 for new
equipment leakage is 0.5% per year.
3.9.1 Identification of Control Options
Three control options have been identified for the SF6 emissions from circuit breakers:
• Use of vacuum circuit breakers;
• Use of alternatives to SF6 such as dielectric oil or compressed air (air blast) circuit breakers; and
• Use of state-of-the-art enclosed pressure SF6 circuit breakers with leak detection monitoring.
3.9.2 Evaluation of Control Options
The use of vacuum circuit breakers is not a technically feasible option currently. Vacuum circuit breakers
are used for medium voltage levels and aren’t currently designed for use with high voltage circuit
breakers which are being proposed for REC.
An alternative to SF6 would be the use of a dielectric oil or compressed air (air blast) circuit breakers.
This option is technically feasible, however SF6 has become the predominant insulator and arc quenching
substance because of its superior performance. SF6 breakers replaced oil and air-blast breakers because of
their superior performance, but also because of other issues with oil and air blast breakers. The
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 41
disadvantage of oil breakers are issues with flammability (safety) and the high maintenance costs
associated with oil replacement requirements. Oil in circuit breakers is degraded by small quantities of
water as well as carbon deposits from the carbonization that occurs when the oil comes into contact with
the electric arc. Air-blast circuit breakers require the installation of expensive compressor stations, are
quite large, and create a high level of noise during operation. The air has relatively lower arc
extinguishing properties and there is a chance of air pressure leakage from the air pipes junction and a
chance of re-striking voltage and current chopping.
EPA’s SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems, a public-private partnership
managed by EPA that is focused on reducing SF6 emissions, does not advocate for a return to oil or air-
blast breakers for high voltage applications, but instead has focused on equipment leak detection and
repair education for SF6 handlers, plus replacement of older SF6 circuit breakers with new SF6 breakers.
The Partnership’s 2014 Annual Report states “Because there is no clear alternative to SF6, Partners reduce
their greenhouse gas emissions through implementing emission reduction strategies such as detecting,
repairing, and/or replacing problem equipment, as well as educating gas handlers on proper handling
techniques of SF6”. (EPA Partnership for Electric Power Systems, 2014 Annual Report, March 2015)
3.9.3 Selection of BACT/BAT
REC proposes the use of state-of-the-art enclosed pressure SF6 circuit breaker technology with a
guaranteed leak rate of less than 0.5% by weight per year as BACT/BAT. In addition, REC’s units will be
equipped with a leak detection monitor that will alarm when a circuit breaker loses 10% of the SF6. REC
will implement routine inspection and maintenance procedures to insure proper circuit breaker operation.
This BACT determination is consistent with other recent determinations for fugitive SF6 emissions from
circuit breakers at power plants, including Jackson Energy Center (Illinois), Shady Hills Combined Cycle
Facility (Florida), CPV Three Rivers Energy Center (Illinois), Dania Beach Energy Center (Florida),
Marshalltown Generating Station (Iowa), and St. Joseph Energy Center (Indiana).
3.10 LAER/BACT/BAT Determination for ULSD Storage Tank
VOC emissions from petroleum storage vessels result from the vaporization of volatile compounds within
the stored product due to changes in temperature, pressure, and liquid level. Several different types of
tank design are available for liquid petroleum storage, depending on the type of liquid petroleum stored.
ULSD is typically stored in fixed roof tanks, with or without an internal floating roof. The presence of an
internal floating roof significantly reduces the space available for the volatile compounds to vaporize, and
evaporative losses only come from deck fittings, seams, and the small amount of space between the deck
and tank wall.

3.10.2 Selection of BACT/LAER/BAT for ULSD Storage Tank
REC is proposing the use of an internal floating roof tank (fixed roof) to minimize VOC emissions from
the storage of ULSD. With annual potential emissions of VOC of approximately 0.05 tons, this will
effectively limit the emissions of VOC from the ULSD storage tank.

6.0 NON-ATTAINMENT AREA REQUIREMENTS
To obtain a permit to construct and operate a nominally rated 1,240 MW (net) combined cycle electric generating plant in Renovo, PA, which is part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR), Renovo Energy Center LLC (REC) must meet the requirements for locating in a non-attainment area as found in Part D, Subpart 1, Section 173 of the Federal Clean Air Act. Section 173 and PaDEP Chapter 127 requires that prior to issuance of a permit to construct and operate, applicants must:
• Prior to commencement of operations, applicant must demonstrate that sufficient emissions offsets have been obtained such that the total allowable emissions from existing sources in the region, new or modified minor sources, and from the proposed sources will be sufficiently less than emissions from existing sources prior to application for such permit to construct and operate the sources;
• Comply with lowest achievable emission rate for non-attainment pollutants;
• Demonstrate that owner or operator of the proposed sources demonstrates that all major sources owned or operated by such entity in Pennsylvania are in compliance, or on a schedule for compliance, with all applicable limitations and standards; and
• Conduct an analysis of alternative sites, sizes, processes, and environmental controls that demonstrate the benefits of the proposed sources significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs of its location and construction.
The balance of this section addresses the requirements listed above.
6.1 Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs)
REC’s maximum potential Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions are summarized in Section 1 of this application. Based on the preliminary estimates contained in Section 1 and Attachment D, REC will be required to obtain offsets for both NOx and VOC as the potential emissions are greater than the Pennsylvania Code 127.201 thresholds of 100 tons and 50 tons per year, respectively.
REC has reviewed the Pennsylvania Emissions Reduction Credit registry to identify potential sources for obtaining ERCs to offset potential project emissions. REC will obtain the necessary ERCs at the Pennsylvania Code 127.210 offset ratio of 1.15:1 for NOx emissions and VOC flue emissions and 1.3:1 for fugitive VOC emissions.
REC has included the currently available ERCs for use in Pennsylvania in Appendix Q.
6.2 Compliance with Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER)
REC has prepared BACT/LAER/BAT analyses for all combustion equipment that are contained in Section 3 of this application. LAER determinations for NOx and VOC are included in these analyses and summarized in Section 3.

6.3 Compliance with All Applicable Emission Limits and Standards in Pennsylvania
REC does not own or operate any facilities in Pennsylvania, thus there are no compliance issues with any emission limits or standards.
6.4 Analysis of Alternative Sites, Sizes, Processes, and Control Techniques
6.4.1 Alternative Sites
Due to the forecasted increase in electricity demand in the service area, the anticipated retirements of old, inefficient coal units in the next 10+ years, and the increased production and reliable availability of shale gas, REC focused on the PJM region for siting a large-scale natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) generation facility. Information was gathered relative to electrical transmission line mapping, gas line mapping and existing generating facilities and competitive development.
Energy Security Analysis, Inc. (ESAI) was engaged in February 2014 to provide support in helping to identify the most optimal locations in PJM to potentially develop plants. ESAI evaluated favorable energy and capacity prices, transmission capacities and availability of natural gas supplies in order to rank the regions and sites.
REC focused primarily on Pennsylvania and high population areas such as Kearney, NJ (Newark), Pensauken, NJ (Philadelphia) and Baltimore, MD. Pensauken had major limitations on gas supply while Kearney and Baltimore were expected to require excessively long and expensive development; further, ESAI’s overall evaluation for these three sites indicated that the PA sites were more attractive, primarily attributable to the local shale gas resource, thus REC’s focus was limited to the PA areas. Although central and western Pennsylvania have plenty of 230-kilovolt (kV) and higher lines networking through the area, major gas lines are of lesser number and accessibility is made very difficult by extremely steep terrain. One must also consider a good part of the western portion of the state has been heavily undermined for coal, making the identification of a suitable site for a power plant very difficult.
For assessment purposes, the state was divided into four areas:
• Homer City (old coal plants that could be displaced by new highly efficiency NGCC plants); • Juniata (old coal plants that could be displaced by new highly efficiency NGCC plants); • Moshannon/Leidy/Milesburg (abundant low-cost gas); and • Susquehanna (proximity to population centers).
In March 2014 REC conducted an assessment over a wide geographical region focusing on the areas of Homer City, Juniata, Leidy – Milesburg, and Susquehanna, visiting more than 16 potential sites. The Susquehanna area ranked lowest in ESAI’s evaluation and was also competing on the 230-kV system with the two Panda projects (Patriot and Liberty), Sunbury Repowering, and Good Springs, at a minimum. Major gas lines in the area of Susquehanna were identified to the south but REC’s search did not identify any sites with suitable gas, power and terrain in the Susquehanna area.
The Homer City area was divided into four search areas to the north and four to the south. The areas north of Homer City were either very hilly with considerable residential development, steep terrain with very
POWER ENGINEERS, INC. Plan Approval Application – Non-Attainment Area Requirements – Renovo Energy Center, LLC
PAGE 3
poor roads, suitable land with residential development/no support, or very remote with steep/undulating terrain; no suitable site for the project was identified in any of the four northern search areas.
Two of the Homer City south areas were located on 230-kV lines that cross the Texas Eastern gas line in very remote areas. Roads and topography are so poor that construction would be imprudently costly. The other two Homer City south search areas were similar to the previous two south areas, but a potential site was identified in New Florence a few miles north of the Seward and Conemaugh existing power plants. The site was level, large enough and next to a 500-kV line and major gas line on the site. However, after consulting coal mining maps it was discovered that the entire area was mined with long wall mining years ago, thus it was not suitable for the construction of a power plant.
REC also assessed the Juniata/Roxbury/Lewistown/Harrisburg area. While the general area did have access to a 500-kV line as well as a 30” gas line, a combination of residential area and large productive farms made the siting of a power plant difficult. In addition, previous efforts at developing independent power plants met strong local opposition. Any potential sites identified in the general area located away from residential or farms were extremely steep and un-buildable terrain.
REC also searched the Moshannon/Leidy Hub area, initially focusing on the areas where the existing gas and transmission lines are close together, however no flat land of adequate size was identified. A potential site was discovered in Renovo at the abandoned Industrial Park, which was the former P&E railyard. This is the site being proposed in this application.
6.4.2 Alternative Sizes
All major combustion turbine manufacturers offer model units in a variety of electrical output sizes. Each time a more efficient model is introduced from each manufacturer, the units are larger with more gross electrical output. Currently the most efficient models from the major manufacturers are all in the 500-600 Megawatt (MW) range for a single unit in combined cycle configuration. While smaller sized units are available, they are older technology and less efficient.
Given REC’s commitment to choose from among the most efficient combustion turbine technologies currently available, REC had to pick in increments of approximately 500-600 MW and decide on number of units for the facility. In general, a 500-600 MW single unit plant is not nearly as economical to build and operate as a multi-unit plant and will require above market electric pricing to survive. The 1,000-1,200 MW range is the most common in many cases due to ability to export the power on nearby transmission lines. Larger plants in the 1,500-1,800 MW range are extremely difficult to site. This difficulty is mainly due to lack of available connection to high voltage transmission lines (345-kV or 500-kV), as well as the need for more make-up water, fuel and land.
REC selected a two-unit, 1,240 MW facility, utilizing among the most efficient technology available today, due to the limited transmission line capacity for exporting additional electrical power and the physical limitation on the site acreage, both of which prevented going to a larger plant. REC was also influenced by the market’s ability to more readily absorb a plant of this size versus a three-unit, 1,500-1,800 MW design. Single unit plants (i.e., approximately 500-600 MW) do not routinely meet the financial requirements of investors and lenders.

6.4.3 Alternative Processes
Modern NGCC plants are considered an efficient technology for generating large scale electricity, in particular when compared to the traditional boiler/steam cycle. Some advantages of the NGCC technology include:
• NGCC plant has higher efficiency than a turbine cycle or steam cycle plant; • NGCC plants meet rapid start and shutdown demands when compared to the steam power plant,
making NGCC ideal for quickly accepting load variations, which helps in maintaining the stability of the electrical grid;
• NGCC plant capital costs are slightly higher than a simple combustion turbine plant and well below the cost of a traditional steam turbine power plant;
• NGCC plant cooling water demands are much less than conventional steam turbine power plant; • NGCC plants have high ratio of power output to the physical plant footprint/area, thus a NGCC
requires less space for equal output; • NGCC plants have lower operational, maintenance, and personnel costs; • NGCC plants typically have higher dispatch availability than a traditional steam turbine plant;
and • NGCC plants have lower pollutant emissions on a lb/MW output, especially CO2.
For the reasons listed above, REC has not identified an alternative process that warrants consideration.
6.4.4 Alternative Control Techniques
REC is proposing state of the art control technologies, including low NOx combustors, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and an oxidation catalyst that will control potential emissions to meet stringent LAER/BACT/BAT limits. No technically feasible alternative control techniques have been identified that will provide better pollution control performance. Section 3 contains REC’s LAER/BACT/BAT analysis.
6.5 Conclusion
Following an assessment of alternative sites, alternative sizes, alternative processes, and alternative control technologies, REC proposes to construct a nominally rated 1,240 MW (net) dual fuel (natural gas and ultra-low sulfur diesel) combined cycle electric generating plant in Renovo, Pennsylvania. REC’s proposed plant will meet LAER for NOx and VOC and will offset emissions of these non-attainment pollutants by obtaining ERCs in amounts that satisfy all appropriate offset ratios.

1 Operating points included list evaporative coolers as "off," however evaporative coolers may be operated when firing ULSD.
2 The heat consumption provided by G.E. included a ~5% margin to account for equipment degradation and site variability.
3 Pre-control emissions rates when firing natural gas were provided by G.E. on a ppm basis. The same control efficiency for ppm values was used for the lb/hr pre-control emission rates. For emission rates when firing ULSD, the same control efficiency as determined for natural gas emissions was used to determine pre-control emissions when firing ULSD.
4 A 10% margin was added to lb/hr emission values of CO2, H2SO4, NH3, and CH2O to account for equipment degradation and site variability.
5 SOx emission rates provided by G.E. included a margin of 20% to account for fuel and site variability.6 CH2O emission rate of 91 ppb @ 15% O2 is the turbine outlet concentration provided by G.E. (91 ppb) with a 50%
control efficiency applied for the oxidation catalyst.

1 REC is proposing to add 15 minutes of margin to each SUSD scenario in order to allow operational flexibility in order to ensure that the SUSD can be completed in the permitted length of time. All heat input and emission parameters have been pro-rated for the increased time.
2Annual totals are based on warm starts and the corresponding amount of shutdowns. For the natural gas scenarios, 460 hours of SUSD corresponds to 308.5 hours of warm starts and 151.5 hours of shutdowns. For the ULSD scenarios, 40 hours of SUSD corresponds to 28.2 hours of warm starts and 11.8 hours of shutdowns.

Estimated Steady State Emission Notes
HRSG Emission Notes:
1. Gas turbine(s) and steam plant are in steady-state operation.
2. Steady State Emissions data above are estimated values based on GE recommended measurements and analysis procedures, per GEK 28172.
3. Reference conditions for exhaust gas SCF are: 68°F, and 14.6959 psia.
4. Reference conditions for gas fuel SCF are: 60°F, and 14.6959 psia.
5. SO2 emission values have been estimated by assuming that all the sulfur in the fuel is converted to SO2.
6. Consistent with previous emission calculations, the SO2 and sulfur mist emission values are based on maximum sulfur content of 13.1 ppm (0.4 grains/100 scf) for gas and 15 ppm for liquid fuel.
7. SO2 and sulfur mist values are margined by 20 % to account for variation in fuel sulfur content and measurement error.
8. The CO2 estimate derived from the heat rate does not include any margin for measurement errors assuming that the compliance will be demonstrated using the heat rate from the performance test results. If CO2 compliance is to be demonstrated using actual CO2 measurements from the HRSG stack, GE recommends adding 10% margin to the estimated values.
9. Sulfur mist emission calculations conservatively assume that all SO3 combines with water to form sulfur mist. In actuality, some SO3 may form other chemical species. This would include ammonium sulfates in the presence of NH3. The maximum sulfur mist is reported to be conservative.
10. The estimated values for heat consumption and exhaust flows are margined in this document to account for equipment variations, site operating conditions, and life-cycle operating parameters.The Plant Performance section does not include permitting margin, for more information on performance please refer to the Heat Balance.
11. Distillate oil fuel-bound nitrogen is less than or equal to 0.015 % by weight.
Additional Notes for Particulate Emissions
1. Particulate Matter estimates over the entire emissions compliance region of GT operation are based on field data obtained at base load for the GT. In reality, particulate matter emissions measured in lb/h are expected to decrease at part load operation and the lb/MMBTU values at part load operation are expected not to exceed the lb/MMBTU value for PM at baseload.
2. PM10 and PM2.5 are estimated at the same rate as Total Particulates.
3. Consistent with previous emission calculations, the PM estimates are based on maximum S content in the fuel of 13.1 ppm (0.4 grains/100 scf) for gas fuel and 15 ppm for liquid fuel.

Table Notes:
(1) Hot starts are defined as taking place within 8 hours of the previous shutdown. Cold starts are preceded by over 72 hours of shutdown. Cold Start and Hot Start values can be used for both typical estimates and not-to-exceed permit limits.
(2) WARM START PERMITTING NOTE – Warm Start cool down duration ranges from >8 to <72 hours after shutdown. The Warm Start emissions will vary depending on duration of the cool down period ranging between the Hot Start and Cold Start values. Warm Start values in Table 1 are based on a 48 hours cool down period as a median point. Warm Starts with less than a 48 hours cool down period will have lower emissions and Warm Starts with a greater than 48 hours cool down period will have higher emissions. For Warm Start emission estimates, the 48 hours median value

should be used. For Warm Start not-to-exceed permit limits, the Cold Start values should be used.
End Table 1 & 2 Basis 1. The table above represents the emissions during startup and shutdown events.
2. Emissions assume no contribution from pollutants present in the GT inlet air.
Notes specific for Natural Gas
3. An average HRSG stack temperature of 174 deg F may be assumed during starts and shutdown when the LP economizer is in service. An average HRSG stack temperature of 214 deg F may be assumed during starts and shutdown when the LP economizer is bypassed.
4. Emissions assume methane as the natural gas fuel in compliance with General Electric Gas Fuel Specification GEI-41040.
5. Particulates emissions account for sulfates resulting from 0.4gr/100SCF total fuel sulfur content. Higher fuel sulfur content will increase particulate emissions.
6. During the start-up event, an average HRSG stack flow rate of 960 lb/second may be assumed.
Notes specific for Liquid Fuel
7. An average HRSG stack temperature of 270 deg F may be assumed during starts and shutdown when the LP economizer is bypassed.
8. Liquid Fuel is assumed to be in compliance with General Electric Liquid Fuel Specification GEI 41047 and is assumed to have 0.015% fuel bound nitrogen or less.
9. Particulate emissions account for sulfates resulting from 15 ppmw total fuel sulfur content. Higher fuel sulfur content will increase particulate emissions.
10. During the start-up event, an average HRSG stack flow rate of 1050 lb/second may be assumed.
General Notes
11. The information is based on a GE designed and supplied extended scope power plant. Design, manufacture, construction, and commissioning of equipment outside of this scope of supply such as auxiliary boiler must meet GE functional requirements.
12. Event duration: Startup is from the time a non-zero value is measured at the HRSG stack (of a pollutant which is guaranteed) to the time of compliance. Emission compliance is verified by 10 subsequent consecutive compliant CEMS readings however this is only a verification measurement and not counted as part of startup emission mass or duration.
3 Estimated Emissions for 7HA.02 Rapid Response Lite
Proprietary Information & Confidential Information, 2019 General Electric Company, All Rights Reserved
Shutdown is from the time that the HRSG stack is out of emissions compliance until the time that the GT fuel valve has closed.
13. There is OpFlex SCR Ammonia control, which optimizes ammonia injection and the resulting transient emissions during the startup transient. For this, ammonia vaporizer is assumed to be electrically pre-heated and ready to inject ammonia at GT fire.
14. NOx and CO Emissions are per HRSG stack and measured at the HRSG stack using CEMS, following the CEMs calibration and commissioning. Emissions concentration (ppm) signal from the HRSG stack CEMS at 15-second or smaller sampling intervals will be converted to emissions mass flow (lb/hr) using a mutually agreed upon method per the emissions test protocol.
15. The plant is started using GE’s Rapid Response Lite auto-start sequence. Prior to start, the plant is in a ready-to-start condition, i.e. all plant equipment which is needed to be operating during startup is in a no-fault condition, operational and/or in automatic mode. Water levels and pressures in drums, hotwell and other vessels are within range and/or not in an alarmed condition. GT and HRSG Purge credit are available.
16. The plant is previously shut down from steady state operation at base load using normal shutdown sequence in accordance with General Electric’s recommendations. The duration of the shutdown/non-operational/standby period for the purpose of defining the start begins at termination of fuel flow to the GT during the plant shutdown. During the standby period, the plant is maintained as per GE-recommended procedures.
17. The GT is kept at MECL load level until stack compliance is achieved.
18. HRSG drum steam is not bled off for auxiliary services, steam seals, etc. during shutdown.
19. HRSG stack damper remains closed during the shutdown period.
20. No steam purity holds are included. No sequence holds or rate reductions caused by operator intervention are allowed.
21. Turbine insulation and enclosures are installed per GE acceptance of drawings and instructions.
22. A GT start-up fuel heater is applied and the GT is kept at MECL load level until HRSG stack compliance is achieved.

Example … we have a system with an onboard sensor / anomaly detection algorithm that detects failures in advance with some Probability of Detection (PoD). If failure indications are detected early on, associated risks, downtime durations & failure costs are typically much lower.
Simulation-based trade studies can be used to optimize the sensor suite (PoD, false alarm rate, time to detect, etc.) with the asset being monitored. This significantly improves reliability, reduces outage durations and reduces overall system operational risk.

Typical failure drivers & mechanisms for turbine blades
� High cycle fatigue (HCF)
� Normal corrosion can initiate tiny pits in metal
� Continuous flexing of blades during operation can grow cracks from pits (high cycle fatigue)
� When a crack gets large enough, the centrifugal force can pull blade apart (liberation)
� Foreign Object Damage (FOD):
� Debris gets sucked in and damages blades
� Rubs
� A liberation could cause significant secondary damage -> millions of dollars

AbstractState-of-the-art emissions control technology forheavy-duty gas turbines is reviewed with empha-sis on the operating characteristics and fieldexperience of Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustorsfor E and F technology machines. The lean pre-mixed DLN systems for gas fuel have demon-strated their ability to meet the ever-lower emis-sion levels required today. Lean premixed tech-nology has also been demonstrated on oil fueland is also discussed.
IntroductionThe regulatory requirements for low emissionsfrom gas turbine power plants have increasedduring the past 10 years. Environmental agen-cies throughout the world are now requiringeven lower rates of emissions of NOx and otherpollutants from both new and existing gas tur-bines. Traditional methods of reducing NOx
emissions from combustion turbines (water andsteam injection) are limited in their ability toreach the extremely low levels required in manylocalities. GE’s involvement in the developmentof both the traditional methods (References 1through 6) and the newer Dry Low NOx (DLN)technology (References 7 and 8) has been welldocumented. This paper focuses on DLN.
Since the commercial introduction of GE’sDLN combustion systems for natural-gas-firedheavy-duty gas turbines in 1991, systems havebeen installed in more than 222 machines, fromthe most modern FA+e technology (firing tem-perature class of 2420 F/1326 C) to field retro-fits of older machines. As of May 1999, thesemachines have operated more than 4.8 millionhours with DLN; and more than 1.4 millionhours have been in the F technology. To meetmarketplace demands, GE has developed DLNproducts broadly classified as either DLN-1,which was developed for E-technology
(2000°F/1093°C firing temperature class)machines, or DLN-2, which was developedspecifically for the F technology machines andis also being applied to the EC and H machines.
Development of these products has required anintensive engineering effort involving both GEPower Systems and GE Corporate Research andDevelopment. This collaboration will continueas DLN is applied to the H machines and com-bustor development for Dry Low NOx on oil(“dry oil”) continues.
This paper presents the current status of DLN-1technology and experience, including dry oil,and of DLN-2 technology and experience.Background information about gas turbineemissions and emissions control is contained inthe Appendix.
Dry Low NOx Systems
Dry Low NOx Product Plan Figure 1 shows GE’s Dry Low NOx product of-ferings for its new and existing machines inthree major groupings. The first group includesthe MS3002J, MS5001/2 and MS6001B prod-ucts. The 6B DLN-1 is the technology flagshipproduct for this group and, as can be noted, isavailable to meet 9 ppm NOx requirements.Such low NOx emissions are generally notattainable on lower firing temperaturemachines such as the MS3002s and MS5001/2sbecause carbon monoxide (CO) would beexcessive.
The second major group includes theMS7001B/E, MS7001EA and MS9001Emachines with the 9 ppm 7EA DLN-1 as theflagship product.
The dry oil program focuses initially on thisgroup.
The third group combines all of the DLN-2products and includes the FA, EC, and H

machines, with the 7FA product as the flagship.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, most of these prod-ucts are capable of power augmentation and ofpeak firing with increased NOx emissions. With
gas fuel, power augmentation with steam is inthe premixed mode for both DLN-1 and DLN-2systems.
The GE DLN systems integrate a staged pre-mixed combustor, the gas turbine’sSPEEDTRONIC™ controls and the fuel andassociated systems. There are two principalmeasures of performance. The first is meetingthe emission levels required at baseload on bothgas and oil fuel and controlling the variation ofthese levels across the load range of the gas tur-bine.
The second measure is system operability, withemphasis placed on the smoothness and relia-bility of combustor mode changes, ability toload and unload the machine without restric-tion, capability to switch from one fuel to anoth-er and back again, and system response to rapidtransients (e.g., generator breaker open eventsor rapid swings in load). GE’s design goal is tomake the DLN system operate so the gas tur-bine operator does not know whether a DLN orconventional combustion system has beeninstalled (i.e., its operation is “transparent tothe user”). A significant portion of the DLNdesign and development effort has focused onsystem operability. As operational experience

has increased, design and development effortshave moved towards hardware durability andextending combustor inspection intervals.
Design of a successful DLN combustor for aheavy-duty gas turbine also requires the design-er to develop hardware features and opera-tional methods that simultaneously allow theequivalence ratio and residence time in theflame zone to be low enough to achieve lowNOx, but with acceptable levels of combustionnoise (dynamics), stability at part-load opera-tion and sufficient residence time for CO burn-out, hence the designation of DLN combustiondesign as a “four-sided box” (See Figure 4).
A scientific and engineering development pro-gram by GE’s Corporate Research andDevelopment, Power Systems business andAircraft Engine business has focused on under-standing and controlling dynamics in lean pre-mixed flows. The objectives have been to:
■ Gather and analyze machine and labo-ratory data to create a comprehensivedynamics data base
■ Create analytical models of gas turbinecombustion systems that can be used tounderstand dynamics behavior
■ Use the analytical models and experi-mental methods to develop methods tocontrol dynamics
These efforts have resulted in a large number ofhardware and control features that limit dynam-ics, plus analytical tools that are used to predictsystem behavior. The latter are particularly use-ful in correlating laboratory test data from fullscale combustors with actual gas turbine data.
DLN-1 SystemDLN-1 development began in the 1970s withthe goal of producing a dry oil system to meetthe United States Environmental ProtectionAgency’s New Source Performance Standardsof 75 ppmvd NOx at 15% O2. As noted inReference 7, this system was tested on both oiland gas fuel at Houston Lighting & Power in1980 and met its emission goals. Subsequent tothis, DLN program goals changed in responseto stricter environmental regulations and thepace of the program accelerated in the late1980s.
DLN-1 CombustorThe GE DLN-1 combustor (shown in cross sec-tion in Figure 5 and described in Reference 8) is atwo-stage premixed combustor designed for usewith natural gas fuel and capable of operationon liquid fuel. As shown, the combustion systemincludes four major components: fuel injectionsystem, liner, venturi and cap/centerbodyassembly.

The GE DLN-1 combustion system operates infour distinct modes, illustrated in Figure 6, dur-ing premixed natural gas or oil fuel operation:
These components form two stages in the com-bustor. In the premixed mode, the first stagethoroughly mixes the fuel and air and delivers auniform, lean, unburned fuel-air mixture to thesecond stage.
Mode/Operating Range■ Primary – Fuel to the primary nozzles
only. Flame is in the primary stageonly. This mode of operation is usedto ignite, accelerate and operate themachine over low- to mid-loads, up toa pre-selected combustion referencetemperature.
■ Lean-Lean – Fuel to both the primaryand secondary nozzles. Flame is inboth the primary and secondarystages. This mode of operation is usedfor intermediate loads between twopre-selected combustion referencetemperatures.
■ Secondary – Fuel to the secondarynozzle only. Flame is in the secondaryzone only. This mode is a transitionstate between lean-lean and premix
modes. This mode is necessary toextinguish the flame in the primaryzone, before fuel is reintroduced intowhat becomes the primary premixingzone.
■ Premix – Fuel to both primary andsecondary nozzles. Flame is in thesecondary stage only. This mode ofoperation is achieved at and near thecombustion reference temperaturedesign point. Optimum emissions aregenerated in premix mode.
The load range associated with these modes var-ies with the degree of inlet guide vane modula-tion and, to a smaller extent, with the ambienttemperature. At ISO ambient, the premix oper-ating range is 50% to 100% load with IGV mod-ulation down to 42°, and 75% to 100% loadwith IGV modulation down to 57°. The 42° IGVminimum requires an inlet bleed heat system.
If required, both the primary and secondaryfuel nozzles can be dual-fuel nozzles, thus allow-ing automatic transfer from gas to oil through-out the load range. When burning either natu-ral gas or distillate oil, the system can operate tofull load in the lean-lean mode (Figure 6). Thisallows wet abatement of NOx on oil fuel andpower augmentation with water on gas.

The spark plug and flame detector arrange-ments in a DLN-1 combustor are different fromthose used in a conventional combustor. Sincethe first stage must be re-ignited at high load inorder to transfer from the premixed mode backto lean-lean operation, the spark plugs do notretract. One plug is mounted near a primaryzone cup in each of two combustors. The systemuses flame detectors to view the primary stage ofselected chambers (similar to conventional sys-tems), and secondary flame detectors that lookthrough the centerbody and into the secondstage.
The primary fuel injection system is used dur-ing ignition and part load operation. The sys-tem also injects most of the fuel during pre-mixed operation and must be capable of stabi-lizing the flame. For this reason, the DLN-1 pri-mary fuel nozzle is similar to GE’s MS7001EAmulti-nozzle combustor with multiple swirl-sta-bilized fuel injectors. The GE DLN-1 systemuses five primary fuel nozzles for the MS6001Band smaller machines and six primary fuel noz-zles for the larger machines. This design is capa-ble of providing a well-stabilized diffusion flamethat burns efficiently at ignition and duringpart load operation.
In addition, the multi-nozzle fuel injection sys-tem provides a satisfactory spatial distributionof fuel flow entering the first-stage mixer. Theprimary fuel-air mixing section is bound by thecombustor first-stage wall, the cap/centerbodyand the forward cone of the venturi. This vol-ume serves as a combustion zone when thecombustor operates in the primary and lean-lean modes. Since ignition occurs in this stage,crossfire tubes are installed to propagate flameand to balance pressures between adjacentchambers. Film slots on the liner walls providecooling, as they do in a standard combustor.
In order to achieve good emissions perform-
ance in premixed operation, the fuel-air equiv-alence ratio of the mixture exiting the first-stagemixer must be very lean. Efficient and stableburning in the second stage is achieved by pro-viding continuous ignition sources at both theinner and outer surfaces of this flow. The threeelements of this stage comprise a piloting flame,an associated aerodynamic device to force inter-action between the pilot flame and the innersurface of the main stage flow, and an aerody-namic device to create a stable flame zone onthe outer surface of the main stage flow exitingthe first stage.
The piloting flame is generated by the second-ary fuel nozzle, which premixes a portion of thenatural gas fuel and air (nominally, 17% at full-load operation) and injects the mixturethrough a swirler into a cup where it is burned.Burning an even smaller amount of fuel (lessthan 2% of the total fuel flow) stabilizes thisflame as a diffusion flame in the cup. The sec-ondary nozzle, which is mounted in the capcenterbody, is simple and highly effective forcreating a stable flame.
A swirler mounted on the downstream end ofthe cap/centerbody surrounds the secondarynozzle. This creates a swirling flow that stirs theinterface region between the piloting flame andthe main-stage flow and ensures that the flameis continuously propagated from the pilot to theinner surface of the fuel-air mixture exiting thefirst stage. Operation on oil fuel is similarexcept that all of the secondary oil is burned ina diffusion flame in the current dry oil design.
The sudden expansion at the throat of the ven-turi creates a toroidal re-circulation zone overthe downstream conical surface of the venturi.This zone, which entrains a portion of the ven-turi cooling air, is a stable burning zone thatacts as an ignition source for the main stagefuel-air mixture. The cone angle and axial loca-

tion of the venturi cooling air dump have sig-nificant effects on the efficacy of this ignitionsource. Finally, the dilution zone (the region ofthe combustor immediately downstream fromthe flame zone in the secondary) provides aregion for CO burnout and for shaping the gastemperature profile exiting the combustion sys-tem.
DLN-1 Controls and Accessories The gas turbine accessories and control systemsare configured so that operation on a DLN-equipped turbine is essentially identical to thatof a turbine equipped with a conventional com-bustor. This is accomplished by controlling theturbines in identical fashions, with the exhausttemperature, speed and compressor dischargepressure establishing the fuel flow and com-pressor inlet-guide-vane position.
A turbine with a conventional diffusion com-bustor that uses diluent injection for NOx con-trol will use an underlying algorithm to controlsteam or water injection. This algorithm will usetop level control variables (exhaust tempera-ture, speed, etc.) to establish a steam-to-fuel orwater-to-fuel ratio to control NOx.
In a similar fashion, the same variables are usedto divide the total turbine fuel flow between theprimary and secondary stages of a DLN com-bustor. The fuel division is accomplished bycommanding a calibrated splitter valve to moveto a set position based on the calculated com-bustion reference temperature (Figure 7). Figure8 shows a schematic of the gas fuel system for aDLN-equipped turbine.
The only special control sequences required arefor protection of the turbine during a generatorbreaker open trip, or for a Primary ZoneIgnition or Primary Re-Ignition (PRI) (i.e.,flame is established in first stage during pre-mixed operation). When either the breaker
opens at load or a PRI is sensed by ultravioletflame detectors looking into the first stage, thesplitter valve is commanded to move to a pre-determined position. For the breaker openevent the combustor returns to normal opera-tion in primary mode at full speed no load(FSNL). In the case of a PRI there is no hard-ware damage and the combustor maintains loadbut operates in extended lean-lean mode withhigh emissions.
DLN-1 EmissionsThe emissions performance of the GE DLN sys-tem can be illustrated as a function of load for agiven ambient temperature and turbine config-uration. Figures 9 and 10 show the NOx and COemissions from typical MS7001EA andMS6001B DLN systems designed for 9 ppmvdNOx and 25 ppm CO when operated on natural

gas fuel. Note that in premixed operation, NOx
is generally highest at higher loads and CO onlyapproaches 25 ppm at lower premixed loads.The MS9001E DLN system has very similarbehavior but with somewhat higher NOx emis-sions (See Figure 1). Figures 11 and 12 show NOx
and CO emissions for the same systems operat-ed on oil fuel with water injection for NOx con-trol, rather than premixed oil. These figures arefor units equipped with inlet bleed heat andextended IGV modulation.
At loads less than 20% of baseload, NOx andCO emissions from the DLN are similar to thosefrom standard combustion systems. This resultis expected because both systems are operatingas diffusion flame combustors in this range.Between 20% and 50% load, the DLN system isoperated in the lean-lean mode. On gas fuel theflow split between the primary fuel nozzles and
secondary nozzle may be varied to optimizeemissions, while on oil fuel the flow split isfixed.
From 50% to 100% load, the DLN system oper-ates as a lean premixed combustor when operat-ed on gas fuel, and as a diffusion flame combus-tor with water injection when operated on oilfuel. As shown in Figures 9–12, NOx emissionsare significantly reduced, while CO emissionsare comparable to those from the standard sys-tem.
DLN-1 ExperienceGE’s first DLN-1 system was tested at HoustonLighting and Power in 1980 (Reference 7). A pro-totype DLN system using the combustor designdiscussed above was tested on an MS9001E atthe Electricity Supply Board’s (ESB) NorthwallStation in Dublin, Ireland, between October

1989 and July 1990. A comprehensive engineer-ing test of the prototype DLN combustor, con-trols and associated systems was conducted withNOx levels of 32 ppmvd (at 15% O2) obtainedat baseload. The results were incorporated intothe design of prototype systems for theMS7001E and MS6001B.
The 7E DLN-1 prototype was tested atAnchorage Municipal Light and Power (AMLP)in early 1991 and entered commercial serviceshortly afterward. Since then, development ofadvanced combustor configurations have beencarried out at AMLP. These results have beenincorporated into production hardware.
The MS6001B prototype system was first oper-ated at Jersey Central Power & Light’s ForkedRiver Station in early 1991. A series of addition-al tests culminated in the demonstration of a 9ppm combustor at Jersey Central in November1993.
As of May 1999, 44 MS6001B machines areequipped with DLN-1 systems. In total, theyhave accumulated more than 1.4 million hoursof operation. There are, in addition, 4MS7001E, 8 MS7001B/E, 39 MS7001EA, 27MS9001E, 2 MS5001P and 4 MS3002J DLN-1machines that have collectively operated formore than 2 million hours. Excellent emissionresults have been obtained in all cases, with sin-gle-digit NOx and CO achieved on manyMS7001EAs. Several MS7001E/EA machineshave the capability to power augment withsteam injection in premixed mode.
Starting in early 1992, eight MS7001F machinesequipped with GE DLN systems were placed inservice at Korea Electric Power Company’sSeoinchon site. These F technology machineshave achieved better than 55% (gross) efficien-cy in combined-cycle operation, and the DLNsystems are currently operating between 30 and40 ppmvd NOx on gas fuel (the guarantee level
is 50 ppmvd). These units have operated formore than 250,000 hours. Four additional Ftechnology DLN-1 systems were commissionedat Scottish Hydro’s Keadby site and at NationalPower’s Little Barford site. These 9F machineshave operated more than 80,000 hours at lessthan 60 ppm NOx.
The combustion laboratory’s testing and fieldoperation have shown that the DLN-1 systemcan achieve single digit NOx and CO levels on Etechnology machines operating on gas fuel.Current DLN-1 development activity focuseson:
■ Application of single-digit technologyto the MS6001B and MS7001EAuprates.
■ Application of DLN-1 technology forretrofitting existing field machines(including MS3002s and MS5000s,some of which will require upgradebefore DLN retrofit)
■ Completing the development of steampower augmentation as needed by themarket
■ Completing the development of leanpremixed oil fuel DLN-1 products.
■ Increasing combustion inspection intervals.
■ Improving overall system reliabilityand operability for operation on oilfuel.
DLN-2 SystemAs F-technology gas turbines became availablein the late 1980s, studies were conducted toestablish what type of DLN combustor would beneeded for these new higher firing temperaturemachines. Studies concluded that that air usagein the combustor (e.g., for cooling) other thanfor mixing with fuel would have to be strictly

limited. A team of engineers from GE PowerSystems, GE Corporate Research andDevelopment and GE Aircraft Engines pro-posed a design that repackaged DLN-1 premix-ing technology but eliminated the venturi andcenterbody assemblies that require cooling air.
The resulting combustor is called DLN-2, whichis the standard system for the 6FA, 7FA, and 9FAmachines. Fourteen combustors are installed inthe 7FA, 18 in the 9FA, and six in the 6FA. Twoadditional variants of the DLN-2 system havebeen developed to meet the additional designrequirements imposed by either new machinecycles or reduced emissions levels. These com-bustors, the DLN-2.6 and the DLN-2+, will bedescribed briefly in later sections.
DLN-2 Combustion System The DLN-2 combustion system shown in Figure13 is a single-stage dual-mode combustor thatcan operate on both gaseous and liquid fuel.On gas, the combustor operates in a diffusionmode at low loads (< 50% load), and a pre-mixed mode at high loads (> 50% load). Whilethe combustor can operate in the diffusionmode across the load range, diluent injectionwould be required for NOx abatement. Oiloperation on this combustor is in the diffusionmode across the entire load range, with diluentinjection used for NOx control.
Each DLN-2 combustor system has a singleburning zone formed by the combustor linerand the face of the cap. In low emissions opera-tion, 90% of the gas fuel is injected throughradial gas injection spokes in the premixer, andcombustion air is mixed with the fuel in tubessurrounding each of the five fuel nozzles. Thepremixer tubes are part of the cap assembly.The fuel and air are thoroughly mixed, flow outof the five tubes at high velocity and enter theburning zone where lean, low-NOx combustionoccurs. The vortex breakdown from the swirlingflow exiting the premixers, along with the sud-den expansion in the liner, are mechanisms forflame stabilization. The DLN-2 fuel nozzle/pre-mixer tube arrangement is similar in designand technology to the secondary nozzle/cen-terbody of a DLN-1. Five nozzle/premixer tubeassemblies are located on the head end of thecombustor. A quaternary fuel manifold is locat-ed on the circumference of the combustion cas-ing to bring the remaining fuel flow to casinginjection pegs located radially around the cas-ing.
Figure 14 shows a cross-section of a DLN-2 fuelnozzle. As noted, the nozzle has passages for dif-fusion gas, premixed gas, oil and water. Whenmounted on the end cover, as shown in Figure15, the diffusion passages of four of the fuelnozzles are fed from a common manifold,called the primary, that is built into the endcover. The premixed passages of the same fournozzles are fed from another internal manifoldcalled the secondary. The pre-mixed passages ofthe remaining nozzle are supplied by the terti-ary fuel system; the diffusion passage of thatnozzle is always purged with compressor dis-charge air and passes no fuel.
Figure 15 shows the fuel nozzles installed on thecombustion chamber end cover and the con-nections for the primary, secondary and tertiaryfuel systems. DLN-2 fuel streams are:

■ Tertiary fuel – premix fuel gas deliveredby the metering holes in the fuel gasinjector spokes of the inboard fuelnozzle
■ The quaternary system – injects a smallamount of fuel into the airstream justup-stream from the fuel nozzle swirlers
The DLN-2 combustion system can operate inseveral different modes.
Primary Fuel only to the primary side of the four fuelnozzles; diffusion flame. Primary mode is usedfrom ignition to 81% corrected speed.
Lean-Lean Fuel to the primary (diffusion) fuel nozzles andsingle tertiary (premixing) fuel nozzle. Thismode is used from 81% corrected speed to apre-selected combustion reference tempera-ture. The percentage of primary fuel flow ismodulated throughout the range of operationas a function of combustion reference tempera-ture. If necessary, lean-lean mode can be oper-ated throughout the entire load range of theturbine. Selecting “lean-lean base on” locks outpremix operation and enables the machine tobe taken to base load in lean-lean.
Premix Transfer Transition state between lean-lean and premixmodes. Throughout this mode, the primaryand secondary gas control valves modulate totheir final position for the next mode. The pre-mix splitter valve is also modulated to hold aconstant tertiary flow split.
Piloted Premix Fuel is directed to the primary, secondary andtertiary fuel nozzles. This mode exists whileoperating with temperature control off as anintermediate mode between lean-lean and pre-mix mode. This mode also exists as a defaultmode out of premix mode and, in the eventthat premix operating is not desired, pilotedpremix can be selected and operated to base-load. Primary, secondary and tertiary fuel splitare constant during this mode of operation.
Premix Fuel is directed to the secondary, tertiary andquaternary fuel passages and premixed flameexists in the combustor. The minimum load for

premixed operation is set by the combustionreference temperature and IGV position. It typ-ically ranges from 50% with inlet bleed heat onto 65% with inlet bleed heat off. Mode transi-tion from premix to piloted premix or pilotedpremix to premix, can occur whenever the com-bustion reference temperature is greater than2200 F/1204 C. Optimum emissions are gener-ated in premix mode.

Figure 16 illustrates the fuel flow scheduling as-sociated with DLN-2 operation. Fuel staging de-pends on combustion reference temperatureand IGV temperature control operation mode.
DLN-2 Controls and Accessories The DLN-2 control system regulates the fuel dis-tribution to the primary, secondary, tertiary andquaternary fuel system. The fuel flow distribu-tion to each combustion fuel system is a func-tion of combustion reference temperature andIGV temperature control mode. Diffusion,piloted premix and premix flame are estab-lished by changing the distribution of fuel flowin the combustor. The gas fuel system (Figure
17) consists of the gas fuel stop-ratio valve, pri-mary gas control valve, secondary gas controlvalve premix splitter valve and quaternary gascontrol valve. The stop-ratio valve is designed tomaintain a predetermined pressure at the con-trol-valve inlet.
The primary, secondary and quaternary gascontrol valves regulate the desired gas fuel flowdelivered to the turbine in response to the fuelcommand from the SPEEDTRONIC™ controls.
The premix splitter valve controls the fuel flowsplit between the secondary and tertiary fuelsystem.
DLN-2 Emissions PerformanceFigures 18 and 19 show the emissions perform-ance for a DLN-2-equipped 7FA/9FA for gasfuel and for oil fuel with water injection.
DLN-2 ExperienceThe first DLN-2 systems were placed in serviceat Florida Power and Light’s Martin Station withcommissioning beginning in September 1993,and the first two (of four) 7FA units enteredcommercial service in February 1994. Duringcommissioning, quaternary fuel was added andother combustor modifications were made tocontrol dynamic pressure oscillations in thecombustor.

After the 7FA DLN-2 entered commercial serv-ice the 9FA DLN-2 was introduced. Subsequentfleet experience indicated that to achieve ade-quate operational robustness against the entirerange of site specific events, an improvement inpremixer flashback resistance was needed.Under certain transient conditions flashbackcan occur where flame “holds” or is supportedin the recirculation zone downstream of thepremixed gas pegs. This region is not designedto withstand the abnormally high temperaturesresulting from the presence of a flame. In theevent of a flashback, the metal temperaturesincrease to unacceptable levels and hardware
damage occurs. In some cases, these eventshave caused forced outages and adverselyimpacted availability. The solution chosen wasto install full “fairings” on the downstream sideof the cylindrical fuel injection pegs.Laboratory testing and subsequent fleet experi-ence has demonstrated that full fairings arehighly effective in reducing the probability offuel nozzle flash-back. The fairings improve thepeg aerodynamics in order to reduce the size ofthe recirculation zone downstream of the pegs.The result is to significantly reduce the proba-bility of flame holding or attachment to the pre-mixed pegs. Figure 20 shows the original DLN-2fuel nozzle while Figure 21 illustrates the samenozzle with the addition of the fuel-peg fairings.
As of May 1999 there were 8 6FA, 26 7FA and 389FA units equipped with DLN-2 in commercialservice. They have accumulated more than 1.1million hours of operation.
DLN-2.6 EvolutionRegulatory pressures in the U.S. market in theearly 1990s led to the need to develop a 9 ppmcombustion system for the Frame 7FA. Theresult of this development is the DLN-2.6, whichwas first placed into service in March 1996 atPublic Service of Colorado.
Reduction of NOx levels from the DLN-2 at 25ppm to 9 ppm required that approximately 6%

additional air was needed to pass through thepremixers in the combustor (see Appendix fordescription of the NOx and temperature rela-tionship). This change in air splits was accom-plished through reductions in cap and linercooling air flows, requiring increased coolingeffectiveness. However, without changes in theoperation of the DLN-2 system, certain penal-ties would have been incurred for achieving 9ppm baseload performance. The turndown of aDLN-2 combustor tuned to 9/9 operation wasestimated to be about 70% load, compared to40% load for the 25/15 system. A new combus-tor configuration was conceived based on theDLN-2 burner, but overcoming these difficul-ties. The DLN-2 burner was carried forward asthe basis of the new combustor because of itsexcellent flame stabilization characteristics andthe large database of knowledge, which hadbeen accumulated on the parameters affectingcombustion dynamics.
The key feature of the new configuration is theaddition of a sixth burner located in the centerof the five existing DLN-2 burners. The pres-ence of the center nozzle enables the DLN-2.6to extend its 9/9 turndown well beyond the fivenozzle DLN-2. By fueling the center nozzle sep-arately from the outer nozzles, the fuel-air ratiocan be modulated relative to the outer nozzlesleading to approximately 200°F of turndownfrom baseload with 9 ppm NOx. Turning the
fuel down in the center burner does not resultin any additional CO generation.
Absent any other changes in the DLN-2 otherthan the addition of the center nozzle, theDLN-2.6 combustor would have required fivefuel manifolds, compared to four on the DLN-2. An alternative scheme was proposed to oper-ate the machine at startup and low load, whicheliminated diffusion mode. The result was apremixed-only combustor with 4 manifolds: 3premixed manifolds staging fuel to the sixburners, and a fourth premixed manifold forinjecting quaternary fuel for dynamics abate-ment, (See Figure 22). The first three premixedmanifolds, designated PM1, PM2, and PM3, areconfigured such that any number (1 to 6) ofburners can be operated at any time. The PM1manifold fuels the center nozzle, the PM2 man-ifold fuels the two outer nozzles located at thecross-fire tubes, and the PM3 manifold fuels theremaining three outer nozzles. The five outernozzles are identical to those used for the DLN-2, while the center nozzle is similar but with sim-plified geometry to fit within the availablespace.
With the elimination of the diffusion mode theDLN-2.6 loads and unloads very differently thanthe DLN-2. The loading and unloading strate-gies are shown in Figures 23 and 24. The addi-tional mode changes are necessary to maintainthe premixed flames within their burnablezones and so prevent combustor blowout. The

gas fuel control system is also changed relativeto the DLN-2. Control is accomplished with onestop ratio valve and four individual gas controlvalves, (See Figure 25). The splitter valve utilizedin both the DLN-1 and DLN-2 combustion sys-tems is eliminated.
Emissions performance of the DLN-2.6depends on the operational mode (See Figures26 and 27). As can be seen, the emissions goal
of 9 ppm NOx and CO over a 50% load rangewas met. Since its introduction in 1996 theDLN-2.6 has been installed on 8 machines andaccumulated approximately 17,000 hours ofoperation.
DLN-2+ EvolutionIn late 1996 an uprated version of the Frame9FA was introduced. Called the 9FA+e, the cyclefor this machine increased the air and fuel flowto the combustion system by approximately10%. In addition, the machine was intended foruse with gas fuels ranging in heat content from

To meet these requirements an updated versionof the DLN-2, called the DLN-2+, was devel-oped. The DLN-2+ retains the basic architec-ture of the DLN-2 with adaptations for both thenew requirements and to improve the operabil-ity and robustness of the existing system. Incomparison to the DLN-2, the major changesare concentrated in the fuel nozzle and end-cover arrangement (See Figure 28). Both theendcover and fuel nozzle have substantiallyenlarged fuel passages for the increased volu-metric flow of fuel. In addition the fuel nozzle(See Figure 29), was redesigned for furtherimprovements in flame holding margin,reduced pressure drop, and improved diffu-sion-flame stability.
flow entering the premixer, while downstreaman integral outer shroud eliminates any poten-
tial flow disturbances after the point of fuelinjection. The improvement in aerodynamicsalso reduces the overall system pressure drop tothe level required by the new cycle.
The nozzle-tip geometry and the improvementsin diffusion flame stability allow the use of a dif-fusion flame on every nozzle. This eliminatesthe lean-lean mode of the DLN-2 and results inthe simplified staging methodology shown inFigure 30.
A further simplification illustrated in Figure 30 isthe elimination of the DLN-2 Quaternary fuelsystem. This is achieved through the use of bi-radial fuel staging in each swirler vane. In thisdesign the radial fuel injection balance can beadjusted via fixed orifices on the endcover aspart of the system setup procedure.
Overall, the fuel nozzle and endcover arrange-ment of the DLN-2+ can accept fuels withWobbe Index ranging from 28 to 52. The fuel

The additional gains in flame-holding velocitymargin result from cleaner aerodynamics in thepremixers. This is achieved via a new swirlerdesign, which incorporates fuel injection direct-ly from the swirler surface. Each swirler vanecomprises a turning vane and an upstreamstraight section. The straight section is hollowand houses the fuel manifolds plus the discreteinjection holes. Upstream of the swirler an inletflow conditioner improves the character of the
delivery system is very similar to the one usedfor the DLN-2.6, with a stop ratio valve andindependent gas control valves for each of thethree gas fuel circuits.
The first installation and startup of a 9FA+e wasin early 1999 at the Sutton Bridge Power Stationin the UK. Emissions measured during thestartup were well within design goals (See Figures30 and 31). Additional machines will be com-missioned throughout 1999.
ConclusionGE’s Dry Low NOx Program continues to focuson the development of systems capable of theextremely low NOx levels required to meettoday’s regulations and to prepare for morestringent requirements in the future. New unit
production needs and the requirements ofexisting machines are being addressed. GEDLN systems are operating on more than 222machines and have accumulated more than 4.8million service hours. GE is the only manufac-turer with F technology machines operatingbelow 15 ppmvd.

Gas Turbine Combustion Systems A gas turbine combustor mixes large quantitiesof fuel and air and burns the resulting mixture.In concept the combustor is comprised of a fuelinjector and a wall to contain the flame. Thereare three fundamental factors and practicalconcerns that complicate the design of the com-bustor: equivalence ratio, flame stability, andability to operate from ignition through fullload.
Equivalence Ratio A flame burns best when there is just enoughfuel to react with the available oxygen. With thisstoichiometric mixture (equivalence ratio of1.0) the flame temperature is the highest andthe chemical reactions are the fastest, com-pared to cases where there is either more oxy-gen (“fuel lean,” < 1.0) or less oxygen (“fuelrich,” > 1.0) for the amount of fuel present.
In a gas turbine, the maximum temperature ofthe hot gases exiting the combustor is limited bythe tolerance of the turbine nozzles and buck-ets. This temperature corresponds to an equiva-lence ratio of 0.4 to 0.5 (40% to 50% of the sto-ichiometric fuel flow). In the combustors usedon modern gas turbines, this fuel-air mixturewould be too lean for stable and efficient burn-ing. Therefore, only a portion of the compres-sor discharge air is introduced directly into thecombustor reaction zone (flame zone) to bemixed with the fuel and burned. The balance of

the airflow either quenches the flame prior tothe combustor discharge entering the turbineor cools the wall of the combustor.
Flame Stability Even with only part of the air being introducedinto the reaction zone, flow velocities in thezone are higher than the turbulent flame speedat which a flame propagates through the fuel-airmixture. Special mechanical or aerodynamicdevices must be used to stabilize the flame byproviding a low velocity region. Modern com-bustors employ a combination of swirlers andjets to achieve a good mix and to stabilize theflame.
Operational Stability The combustor must be able to ignite and tosupport acceleration and operation of the gasturbine over the entire load range of themachine. For a single-shaft generator-drivemachine, speed is constant under load and,therefore, so is the airflow for a fixed ambienttemperature. There will be a five-to-one or six-to-one turndown in fuel flow over the loadrange. A combustor whose reaction zone equiv-alence ratio is optimized for full-load operationwill be very lean at the lower loads.Nevertheless, the flame must be stable and thecombustion process must be efficient at allloads.
GE uses multiple-combustion chamber assem-blies in its heavy-duty gas turbines to achievereli-able and efficient turbine operation. Asshown in Figure A-1, each combustion chamberassembly comprises a cylindrical combustor, afuel-injection system and a transition piece thatguides the flow of the hot gas from the combus-tor to the inlet of the turbine. Figure A-2 illus-trates the multiple-combustor concept.
There are several reasons for using the multi-ple-chamber arrangement instead of large silo-type combustors:
■ The configuration permits the entireturbine to be factory assembled, testedand shipped without interimdisassembly
■ The turbine inlet temperature can bebetter controlled, thus providing forlonger turbine life with reducedturbine cooling air requirements
■ Smaller parts can be handled moreeasily during routine maintenance
■ Smaller transition pieces are lesssusceptible to damage from dynamicforces generated in the combustor;furthermore, the shorter combustionsystem length ensures that acousticnatural frequencies are higher and lesslikely to couple with the pressureoscillations in the flame

■ As turbine inlet temperatures haveincreased to improve efficiency, thesize of the combustors has decreasedto minimize cooling requirements, asin aircraft gas turbine combustors
■ Small can-type combustors can becompletely developed in thelaboratory through a combination ofboth atmospheric and full-pressure,full-flow tests. Therefore, there is ahigher degree of confidence that acombustor will perform as designedacross all load ranges before it isinstalled and tested in a machine.
Gas Turbine EmissionsThe significant products of combustion in gasturbine emissions are:
■ Oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO2,collectively called NOx)
■ Carbon monoxide (CO)
■ Unburned hydrocarbons or UHCs(usually expressed as equivalentmethane [CH4] parti-cles and arisefrom incomplete combustion)
■ Oxides of sulfur (SO2 and SO3)particulates.
Unburned hydrocarbons include both volatileorganic compounds (VOCs), which contributeto the formation of atmospheric ozone, andcompounds, such as methane, that do not.
There are two sources of NOx emissions in theexhaust of a gas turbine. Most of the NOx is gen-erated by the fixation of atmospheric nitrogenin the flame, which is called thermal NOx.Nitrogen oxides are also generated by the con-
version of a fraction of any nitrogen chemicallybound in the fuel (called fuel-bound nitrogenor FBN). Lower-quality distillates and low-Btucoal gases from gasifiers with hot gas cleanupcarry various amounts of fuel-bound nitrogenthat must be taken into account when emissionscalculations are made. The methods describedbelow to control thermal NOx emissions areineffective in controlling the conversion of FBNto NOx.
Thermal NOx is generated by a chemical reac-tion sequence called the Zeldovich Mechanism(Reference 6). This set of well-verified chemicalreactions postulates that the generation of ther-mal NOx is an exponential function of the tem-perature of the flame and a linear function ofthe time which the hot gases are at flame tem-perature. Thus, temperature and residencetime determine thermal NOx emissions levelsand are the principal variables that a gas tur-bine designer can adjust to control emission lev-els.
For a given fuel, since the flame temperature isa unique function of the equivalence ratio, therate of NOx generation can be cast as a functionof the equivalence ratio. Figure A-3 shows thatthe highest rate of NOx production occurs at anequivalence ratio of 1.0, when the temperatureis equal to the stoichiometric, adiabatic flametemperature.
To the left of the maximum temperature point(Figure A-3), more oxygen is available (theequivalence ratio is < 1.0) and the resultingflame temperature is lower. This is a fuel-leanoperation. Since the rate of NOx formation is afunction of temperature and time, it followsthat some difference in NOx emissions can beexpected when different fuels are burned in agiven combustion system. Since distillate oil andnatural gas have approximately a 100°F/38°Cflame temperature difference, a significant dif-

ference in NOx emissions can be expected ifreaction zone equivalence ratio, water injectionrate are equal.
As shown in Figure A-3, the rate of NOx produc-tion dramatically decreases as flame tempera-ture decreases (i.e., the flame becomes fuellean). This is because of the exponential effectof temperature in the Zeldovich Mechanismand is the reason why diluent injection (usuallywater or steam) into a gas turbine combustorflame zone reduces NOx emissions. For thesame reason, very lean dry combustors can beused to control emissions. Lean, dry control isdesirable for reaching the lower NOx levels nowrequired in many applications, and also to avoidthe turbine efficiency penalty associated withdiluent injection.
There are two design challenges associated withvery lean combustors. First, care must be takento ensure that the flame is stable at the designoperating point. Second, a turndown capabilityis necessary since a gas turbine must ignite,accelerate, and operate over the load range.Both of these challenges are driven by the needto operate the combustor at low flame tempera-tures to achieve very low emissions. Thereforethe combustor operating point at full load isjust above the flame blowout point, which is thepoint at which a premixed fuel and air mixtureis unable to self sustain. At lower loads, as fuel
flow to the combustors decreases, the flametemperature will approach the blowout pointand at some point the flame will either becomeunstable or blow out. This behavior is in directcontrast to that of a diffusion flame combustor.In that type of combustor the fuel is injectedunmixed and burns at maximum flame temper-ature using only a portion of the available air.This results in high NOx emissions, but has thebenefit of very good stability because the flameburns at the same temperature independent offuel flow.
In response to these challenges, combustion sys-tem designers use staged combustors so a por-tion of the flame zone air can mix with the fuelat lower loads or during startup. The two typesof staged combustors are fuel-staged and air-staged (Figure A-4). In its simplest and mostcommon configuration, a fuel-staged combus-tor has two flame zones; each receives a con-stant fraction of the combustor airflow. Fuelflow is divided between the two zones so that ateach machine operating condition, the amountof fuel fed to a stage matches the amount of airavailable. An air-staged combustor uses a mech-anism for diverting a fraction of the airflowfrom the flame zone to the dilution zone at low

load to increase turndown. These methods canbe combined, but both work to achieve thesame objective, to maintain a stable flame tem-perature just above the blowout point.
Emissions Control MethodsThere are three principal methods for control-ling gas turbine emissions:
■ Injection of a diluent such as water orsteam into the burning zone of aconventional (diffusion flame)combustor
■ Catalytic clean-up of NOx and COfrom the gas turbine exhaust (usuallyused in conjunction with the other twomethods)
■ Design of the combustor to limit theformation of pollutants in the burningzone by utilizing “lean-premixed”combustion technology
The last method includes both DLN combus-tors and catalytic combustors. GE has consider-able experience with each of these three meth-ods.
Since September 1979, when regulationsrequired that NOx emissions be limited to 75ppmvd (parts per million by volume, dry),more than 300 GE heavy-duty gas turbines haveaccumulated more than 2.5 million operatinghours using either steam or water-injection tomeet required NOx emissions levels, sometimesproducing levels even lower than required. Theamount of water required to accomplish this isapproximately one-half of the fuel flow.However, there is a 1.8% heat rate penalty asso-ciated with using water to control NOx emis-sions for oil-fired simple-cycle gas turbines.Output increases by approximately 3%, makingwater (or steam) injection for power augmenta-tion economically attractive in some circum-
stances (such as peaking applications).
Single-nozzle combustors that use water orsteam injection are limited in their ability toreduce NOx levels below 42 ppmvd on gas fueland 65 ppmvd on oil fuel. GE developed multi-nozzle quiet combustors (MNQC) for theMS7001EA and MS7001FA capable of achieving25 ppmvd on gas fuel and 42 ppmvd on oil,using either water or steam injection. SinceOctober 1987, more than 26 MNQC-equippedMS7001s that use water or steam injection havebeen placed in service. One unit that uses steaminjection has operated nearly 50,000 hours at 25ppmvd NOx (at 15% O2).
Frequent combustion inspections anddecreased hardware life are undesirable sideeffects that can result from the use of diluentinjection to reduce NOx emissions from com-bustion turbines. For applications that requireNOx emissions below 42 ppmvd (or 25 ppmvdin the case of the MS7001EA or MS7001FAMNQC), or to avoid the significant cycle effi-ciency penalties incurred when water or steaminjection is used for NOx control, one of theother two principal methods of NOx controlmentioned above must be used.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) converts NOand NO2 in the gas turbine exhaust stream tomolecular nitrogen and oxygen by reacting theNOx with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst.Conventional SCR technology requires that thetemperature of the exhaust stream remain in anarrow range (550°F to 750°F or 288°C to399°C) and is restricted to applications with aheat recovery system installed in the exhaust.The SCR is installed at a location in the boilerwhere the exhaust gas temperature hasdecreased to the above temperature range. Newhigh-temperature SCR technology is beingdeveloped that may allow SCRs to be used forapplications without heat recovery boilers.

GE Power Systems ■ GER-3568G ■ (10/00) 20
For an MS7001EA gas turbine, an SCR designedto remove 90% of the NOx from the gas turbineexhaust stream has a volume of approximately175 cubic meters and weighs 111 tons. It is com-prised of segments stacked in the exhaust duct.Each segment has a honeycomb pattern withpassages that are aligned in the direction of theexhaust gas flow. A catalyst, such as vanadiumpentoxide, is deposited on the surface of thehoneycomb.
SCR systems are sensitive to fuels containingmore than 1,000 ppm of sulfur (light distillateoils may have up to 0.8% sulfur). There are tworeasons for this sensitivity.
First, sulfur poisons the catalyst being used inSCRs. Second, the ammonia will react with sul-fur in the presence of the catalyst to formammonium bisulfate, which is extremely corro-sive, particularly near the discharge of a heatrecovery boiler. Special catalyst materials thatare less sensitive to sulfur have been identified,and there are some theories as to how to inhib-it the formation of ammonium bisulfate. This,however, remains an open issue with SCRs.
More than 100 GE units have accumulatedmore than 100,000 operating hours with SCRsinstalled. Twenty of the units are in Japan; oth-ers are located in California, New Jersey, NewYork and several other eastern U.S. states. Unitsoperating with SCRs include MS9000s,MS7000s, MS6000s, LM2500s and LM5000s.
Lean premixed combustion is the basis forachieving low emissions from Dry Low NOx andcatalytic combustors. GE has participated in thedevelopment of catalytic combustors for manyyears. These systems use a catalytic reactor bedmounted within the combustor to burn a verylean fuel-air mixture. They have the potential toachieve extremely low emissions levels withoutresorting to exhaust gas cleanup. Technicalchallenges in the combustor and in the catalystand reactor bed materials must be overcome in
order to develop an operational catalytic com-bustor. GE has development programs in placewith both ceramic and catalyst manufacturers toaddress these challenges.

I. INTRODUCTION TO GAS TURBINE INLET AIR SPECIFICATION
Air quality can be considered in terms of quantity of particulate matter contained in the air stream as well as the elemental concentration and content of that matter. Historically, the quality of the air entering the gas turbine has mainly been driven by considerations for hot gas path corrosion. Advances in compressor technology, higher operating stresses, and reduced clearances have led to greater attention to maintenance as well as corrosion and erosion mitigation for compressor components, in addition to the hot gas path.
The availability, reliability, and performance of a gas turbine compressor depend upon its operating environment, its air inlet filtration system, related maintenance practices and blade material selection. Maintenance practices include inspections of inlet structure (internal and external), inlet filter house and system, filters, water wash systems, power augmentation systems, and forward compressor stages. Given a specified material, operating environment, maintenance practices and filtration technology may be viewed as the three factors driving corrosion and erosion.
This GEK is aimed at describing the requirements of the gas turbine inlet air system, with consideration of these risk factors, as it pertains specifically to corrosion and erosion of the compressor itself. Improper filtration and maintenance, along with compromised inlet system integrity and insufficient filtration can potentially lead to compressor corrosion. It has been stated in earlier GER documents that erosion may be controlled by filtration since erosion is typically caused by larger size particle that may be removed with proper filters (particles > 5 microns in size).
This inlet air specification and any future revisions will provide data-driven maintenance and inspection recommendations that take into consideration site-specific environment data, inlet filtration system application and on-site power augmentation options. Specifically, this GEK describes the corrosivity classes of the environment upstream (“dirty air side”) of the filter system, the gas turbine maintenance and filtration system recommendations for the higher corrosivity environmental classes, and power augmentation system corrosion and erosion-related maintenance recommendations.
In efforts to move beyond these recommendations, GE has ongoing field inspection and monitoring programs at selected customer sites to improve its current database of site-specific maintenance practices, environmental factors, filtration systems and power augmentation options.
The remainder of the GEK document contains the following sections:
Section 2 discusses the classification of all ambient environments into 6 different categories of corrosion C1 to C5m and explains how these can be determined for a given location, with reference to ISO 9223 – 9226 standards.
Section 3 describes the potential impact of environments classified as C1 to C5m on the gas turbine engine and provides some visual indication of issues that could highlight potential corrosion in the engine. GE has observed that the environments classified as C3 or lower tend to experience minimal corrosion issues, when GE issued maintenance practices and guidelines for machine operation are followed. In the higher corrosive environments, C4, C5i and C5m, additional precautionary measures may be taken as highlighted in this section.
Section 4 describes the maintenance recommendations to mitigate corrosion issues in each of the six corrosive environmental categories.

Section 5 highlights the current inlet filter system recommendations for each of the highly corrosive environmental categories.
Section 6 describes the corrosion and erosion-related recommendations for the power augmentation system options.
Section 7 of this GEK highlights the need for air monitoring and describes the instrument options to establish corrosivity rating of upstream (“dirty air side”) and downstream (“clean air side”) of filter system.
Section 8 lists the reference documents.
The recommendations in this GEK are meant as a further addendum and addition to the knowledge pool that already exists in GE issued documentation.
GE recommends that existing sites characterize the corrosive nature of their environment as per GE recommendations in section II & section VII and new sites under consideration start evaluating the corrosive nature of their environment during power plant planning phase. This will enable the site to be classified into either of C1 to C5m categories as per ISO standard and help develop operational and maintenance schedules for the power plant hardware. GE can support this environmental classification and study of different corrosives at site as per section II and section VII of this GEK, this can be done so by placing a site analysis request to the local CPM or GE site representative.
Characterization of air quality at site is the customer responsibility.
II. CLASSIFICATION OF ATMOSPHERIC CORROSIVITY
A. Purpose of Section
The aim is to quantify ambient atmospheric corrosive potential in terms of standard corrosion classes. This GEK describes the methods that GE employs for this corrosion classification, which includes the International Standards Organization (ISO) methodologies, as well as GE design practices.
B. Introduction: Atmospheric Corrosion and Corrosion Factors
Atmospheric corrosion can be defined as the corrosion of materials exposed to air and pollutants. Atmospheric corrosion can be further classified into dry, damp and wet categories. With respect to the applicability of aqueous corrosion to the compressor-operating environment, this document will consider only damp and wet categories, which are associated respectively with corrosion in the presence of microscopic electrolyte (or “moisture”) films and visible electrolyte layers on the metal surface. The damp moisture films are created at a certain critical relative humidity value through water adsorption while the wet films are associated with dew, rainwater and ocean spray. The film and the corrosion rate in the film are affected by factors such as the amount of available moisture, temperature, contaminants, wind conditions, sun and site location.
A brief introduction to these corrosion variables is provided below.
1. Moisture
Time of wetness (TOW): TOW may be defined practically as the time period during which the metallic surface is covered by electrolyte film capable of causing atmospheric corrosion. There is a critical relative humidity level for ferrous materials above which accelerated corrosion begins to occur. This value is not constant, and is a function of the hygroscopic nature of corrosion

products and contaminants (salts). For atmospheric corrosion classification, International Standards Organization (ISO) defines this critical relative humidity value as 80% (temperature >0ºC) and TOW is defined as the amount of time a site spends above this critical value. Due to temperature depression at the inlet of the gas turbine, compressor blades start operating wet when ambient relative humidity > 50%, with significant wetness on blades at 75%.
Rain vs. Surface Condensation: While rainwater can provide electrolytes for corrosion reactions, it can act in a beneficial manner by washing away surface contaminants and reducing corrosion rates. Condensation provides moisture but does not dilute away contaminants, possibly increasing corrosion rates.
2. Temperature
The effect of temperature on atmospheric corrosion rates is complex. Raising the temperature will increase the rate of electrochemical reactions and diffusion processes, thus stimulating corrosion attack. For constant humidity level, increasing temperature will increase corrosion rate. However, increasing the temperature generally leads to decreasing relative humidity and increased evaporation of surface electrolytes. When the TOW is reduced in this manner, the overall corrosion rate tends to decrease.
3. Contaminants
Natural or man-made contaminants can accelerate corrosion. For example, salt can come from road de-icing or airborne ocean salts. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) can enter the air from coal burning plants or volcanic emissions. Table 8 lists sample contaminants, contaminant sources, and affected materials.
Atmospheric salinity distinctly increases corrosion rates. Hygroscopic salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2) enhance surface electrolyte formation through participation of chloride ions in the corrosion reactions.
Sulfur dioxide adsorbs onto metal surfaces and forms sulfate ions in the surface moisture film by oxidation. These sulfate ions are considered the primary corrosion-accelerating effect of SO2.
Other contaminants include hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and nitrogen compounds. Although these species are related to industrial emissions in specific microenvironments and can be considered local pollutants, they can intensify corrosion damage since they acidify surface moisture and break down protective oxides on metal surfaces, accelerating corrosion rates.
4. Wind, Sun, and Site Location
Wind direction and velocity affect rate of accumulation of particles on a surface. The amount of sunshine influences TOW and affects coating performance by ultraviolet degradation. Photosensitive corrosion reactions can occur on metals like copper and steel. Site distance from seashore and altitude above sea level can also affect levels of atmospheric moisture and pollutants.

C. Environmental Classification of Corrosivity: C1-C5m
The nature and rate of corrosive damage depend on the composition and properties of the film surface electrolyte. These in turn are largely affected by the time of wetness and concentration of gaseous and particulate pollutants in the atmosphere. A standard classification of environmental corrosivity provides a basis for specifying suitable materials and corrosion protective measures at the design phase and for asset maintenance management to ensure service life.
The ISO organization has defined and validated a comprehensive corrosivity classification system, and its categorization methods are specified in ISO 9223, 9224, 9225 and 9226. These categories do not address specific service atmospheres.
Table 1. List of ISO Standards Pertaining to Atmospheric Corrosivity
ISO Standard Title ISO 9223 Classification – Corrosivity of Atmospheres ISO 9224 Guiding Values for the Corrosivity Categories of Atmospheres ISO 9225 Measurement of Pollution ISO 9226 Determination of Corrosion Rate of Standard Specimens
Each classification is associated with an amount of metal loss due to corrosion for one year in the given environment. Specifically, standard metallic specimens made of carbon steel, zinc, copper, and aluminum are exposed for one year, and their weight loss is translated directly to environment classification. Long-term predictions should not be extrapolated based on these corrosion rates. Table 2 shows corrosion class based on mass loss of low carbon steel for a period of 1 year.
Table 2. Sample Classifications Based on Carbon Steel Exposure
Mass Loss Typical Examples in Temperate Climate Corrosion
Class Description (g/m2) Typical Exterior Exposures
C1 Very Low ≤10 --- C2 Low >10 to 200 Atmospheres (mostly rural) with low level of pollution.
C3 Medium >200 to 400 Urban and industrial atmospheres, moderate SO2 pollution. Coastal areas with low salinity.
C4 High >400 to 650 Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity.
C5-i Very High (Industrial) >650 to 1500 Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive
atmosphere.
C5-m Very High (Marine) >650 to 1500 Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity.
For coastal areas in hot/humid zones, mass losses can exceed the limits of C5-M. In such cases, special precautions shall be taken when selecting protective systems for the prevention of corrosion.
D. Methods to Establish Corrosivity Classes C1-C5m
This GEK document presents 3 methods to determine the corrosion class of a given customer site.
1. Exposure of standard metallic specimens.
2. Calculation based on measured factors (TOW, SO2, Chlorides).
3. Estimation based on environmental and corrosion data sources.

1. Method 1: Exposure of Standard Metallic Specimens
Exposure of standard specimens is deemed the most accurate method to determine corrosion class at a given location (dirty air side corrosivity classification).
As per ISO 9226, metallic standard specimens, either flat plate or open helix type, are exposed to the environment for one year. Methods for preparation, exposure, and removal of the specimens can be found in ISO 8565 and ISO 8407. At the end of the exposure, the corrosion rate, in terms of mass or thickness loss, can be calculated per ISO 9226. A corrosion class can then be determined from ISO 9223. Table 3 indicates the corrosion rates of metals for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories.
Table 3. Corrosion Rates (Mass or Thickness Loss) of Metals for First Year of Exposure for C1-C5m Classes
Corrosion rates (rcorr) of metals Corrosion Class Units Carbon Steel Zinc Copper Aluminum C1 g/(m2.a)

25 < rcorr < 50 2.8 < rcorr < 5.6
5 < rcorr < 10 ---
A disadvantage of specimen exposure measurements is the lengthy exposure times required to obtain meaningful data. Extrapolation of the mass or thickness losses to one year from shorter exposure times, or back-extrapolation from longer times, will not give reliable results. Corrosion rates exceeding the upper limits in C5 represent environments beyond the scope of ISO 9223.
This method utilizes a simple mounting system to hold the specimens for the duration of the evaluation, an example of which can be seen in the photo below.
* The unit “a” refers to annual time period

Figure 1. ISO 9223 Standard Coupon Mounting Example
Method 1 describes the use of standard metallic coupons for dirty airside corrosivity classification. Section 6.1 will describe modifications to this method to determine the clean air side (downstream of the filter system, within the GT inlet duct) corrosivity classification.
2. Method 2: Calculation Based on Measured Factors (TOW, SO2, Chlorides)
This second ISO corrosivity classification method is based on the simplifying assumption that the time of wetness and only two types of corrosive contaminants, namely sulfur dioxide and chloride, determine the corrosivity. Practical definitions for these three environmental variables are provided in ISO documentation as follows:
1. Yearly time of wetness (ISO 9223)
2. Yearly mean deposition of sulfur dioxide (ISO 9225)
3. Yearly mean deposition of chloride (ISO 9225)
Time of Wetness (TOW)
Experimental TOW can be measured directly with sensors but such results depend on the type of measuring systems used. Furthermore, they are not directly comparable and are convertible only within a limited extent of temperature-humidity characteristics.
For this reason, ISO uses the number of hours when the relative humidity exceeds 80% and temperature exceeds 0ºC to determine the calculated TOW (τ) of corroding surfaces. The τ calculated by this method does not necessarily correspond with the actual time of exposure to wetness. Actual TOW is influenced by: the type of metal, the shape, mass and orientation of the object, the quantity of corrosion product, the nature of pollutants on the surface and other factors. These considerations may increase or decrease the actual time of wetness. However, this criterion is usually sufficiently accurate for the characterization of atmospheres.
The calculated τ depends on macroclimatic zone and the category of location. Values are based on long-term characteristics of macroclimatic zones for typical conditions of the location categories. Table 4 presents the calculated τ categories from ISO 9223.

Table 4. Time of Wetness Categories
Time of Wetness Category
Hours/year % Example Macroclimate Zones
τ 1 Τ < 10 T < 0.1 Internal microclimates with climatic control, and no condensation. τ 2 10 < T <250 0.1 < T < 3 Internal microclimates without climatic control except for internal
non-air-conditioned spaces in damp climates The probability of liquid forming on the metallic surface is low.
Τ 3 250< T <2500 3 < T <30 Outdoor atmospheres in dry, cold climates and part of temperate climates; properly ventilated sheds in temperate climates. Includes periods of condensation and precipitation.
τ 4 2500 < T < 5500 30 < T < 60 Outdoor atmospheres in all climates (except for dry and cold climates); ventilated sheds in humid conditions; unventilated sheds in temperature climates. Includes periods of condensation and precipitation
τ 5 5500 < T 60 < T Part of damp climates, unventilated sheds in humid conditions. Includes periods of condensation and precipitation.
Weather data for the exact site should be obtained, and the hours spent above 80%relative humidity at >0ºC should be tabulated for 1 year. The following factors shall be used to adjust τ:
• Sheltered surfaces in marine atmospheres where chlorides are deposited may have substantially increased τ, due to the presence of hygroscopic salts and should be classified in category τ5.
• Indoor atmospheres without climate control, τ3- τ5 can occur when water vapor sources are present.
• For τ 1 and τ 2, probability of corrosion is higher for dusty surfaces. Consider increasing to τ 3 if excessive dust will be present.
Deposition of Sulfur Dioxide and Chloride Contaminants
The most important factor within a particular category of TOW is the pollution level caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and airborne salinity. Deposition rate and concentration are calculated from continuous measurements during at least one year and are expressed as annual averages. Short-term measurements are highly variable and should not be extrapolated to yearly averages.
Sulfur Dioxide: Methods for measuring SO2 by sulfonation plate are specified in ISO 9225. Classification of pollution by sulfur-containing substances represented by SO2 deposition categories are provided in ISO 9223 and reproduced as Table 5.
Table 5. Classification of SO2 Deposition
SO2 deposition rate SO2 concentration mg/(m2.d) µg/m3 Category Description
Pd < 10 Pc < 12 P0 Background concentration. Insignificant from point of view of corrosive attack
10 < Pd < 35 12 < Pc < 40 P1 Significant pollution by SO2 35 < Pd < 80 40 < Pc < 90 P2 Near extreme pollution by SO2
80 < Pd < 200 90 < Pc < 250 P3 Extreme pollution by SO2. Typical of operational microclimates beyond scope of ISO 9223.

Salinity: Classification of airborne salinity given in ISO 9223, reproduced as Table 6 below, is based on the wet candle method. There are other established methods to determine salt content in the atmosphere, but ISO notes that these methods are not always directly convertible and comparable. Extreme pollution by chloride, typical of marine splash and spray, is beyond the scope of ISO 9223.
Table 6. Classification of Chloride Deposition
Chloride Deposition Rate
mg/(m2 . d) Category Description
S < 3 S0 Background concentration. Insignificant from point of view of corrosive attack

300 < S < 1500 S3 Extreme pollution by Chloride. Typical of marine splash/spray and beyond scope of ISO 9223.
Practical Classification of Environmental Corrosivity
After the time of wetness and the sulfur dioxide and chloride deposition categories have been determined, the overall atmosphere corrosion class can be determined via Table 7.

3. Method 3: Estimation Based on Environmental and Corrosion Data Sources
If it is not possible to expose standard metallic specimens in the actual environment of interest, and if measured sulfur dioxide and chloride deposition data are not available, the classification of corrosivity may be estimated by measuring the time of wetness and pollution levels of sulfur dioxide and chlorides through published site corrosion data and environmental databases for climate and pollution data.

4. Other Corrosion-Accelerating Factors
Aside from the key corrosivity factors of TOW, sulfur dioxide and chloride, there are other factors that may cause accelerated corrosion. While it is important to note macro-level environments according to corrosivity classes, specific local pollution data on the micro level also needs to be acquired to improve fidelity of the corrosion assessment.
Corrosion rates can be greatly increased by airborne pollutants such as acids, alkalis, salts, organic solvents, aggressive gases, and dust particles. These pollutants occur in the vicinity of industrial operations such as coking works, pickling shops, electroplating plants, coal or gas fired power plants, incinerators, dye mills, wood-pulp works, tanneries, oil refineries, etc.
A sample list of important chemical contaminants with typical emission sources, and materials susceptible to these chemicals is presented in Table 8.

III. IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CORROSIVITY ON ENGINE HEALTH
Section 2 categorized the operating environment of gas turbines in various categories of corrosion C1, C2, C3, C4, C5i and C5m as per ISO 9223.
This section provides general guidelines to operators on the corrosivity impact of different environments on the engine health. Section 4 of this specification highlights maintenance recommendations for the different environmental corrosion classes.
GE gas turbines operate in a variety of environments spanning combined cycle plants located on the coast within large chemical and industrial complexes, to power plants in an arctic environment with very low levels of pollutants. Best practices and lessons learned to date from the inspection of gas turbine units in diverse environments are discussed in this section, along with typical examples of environment type.
A. Impact of C1 Corrosive Environment
This environment is identified in Section 2 of this specification. Weight loss for the sample metallic specimen when exposed for 1 year should < 10g/m2.
This is the least corrosive environment class and it is well understood by the gas turbine community that power plants are rarely sited in such benign environments.
No examples for this environment exist.
B. Impact of C2 Corrosive Environment
This environment is identified in Section 2 of this specification. Weight loss for the sample metallic specimen when exposed for 1 year should be > 10g/m2 and < 200 g/m2.
Examples would be rural atmospheres with low level of industrialization, low humidity, rainfall and significant distance from large bodies of water.
Gas turbines in this environment have shown little to no indication of corrosion. These are considered low corrosion environments and following the established GE guidelines on Inlet inspection as per GE documentation on air inlets and water wash will mitigate the impact of corrosion on the machine.
Section 4 of this specification provides recommendations to mitigate corrosion issues in gas turbine operation in C2 environments.
C. Impact of C3 Corrosive Environment
C3 corrosive environment is described in Section 2 of this specification. Weight loss for the sample metallic specimen when exposed for 1 year should be > 200g/m2 and < 400 g/m2.
Typical examples would include power plants in urban and semi-industrial settings, within a relatively dry climate with moderate sulfur dioxide pollution levels, and coastal areas with low salinity level.
Potential for pitting on blades due to corrosion (corrosion pits) exists in this environment. It is highly recommended in these environments that GE established guidelines for water washing and inlet inspection be followed on a regular basis. Both online and offline water wash may remove corrosive

deposits on the blades, which over time in a C3 environment, may collect in significant quantities on the blades potentially leading to corrosion.
It is expected that gas turbines operating in C3 environments can potentially develop corrosion pits on the blades when the OEMs and operators have not followed GE established guidelines on inlet filter system maintenance and water wash, both online and offline.
Section 4 of this specification provides recommendations to mitigate corrosion issues in gas turbine operation in C3 environments.
D. Impact of C4 Corrosive Environment
This environment is identified in Section 2 of this specification. Weight loss for the sample metallic specimen when exposed for 1 year should be > 400g/m2 and < 650 g/m2. This is considered a high corrosive environment.
Examples of C4 corrosive environment include heavy industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity, high propensity of rainfall and humidity with salt.
It is expected that gas turbines operating in C4 high corrosive environments can develop corrosion pits on the blades.
In general, most of the corrosion issues in C4 rated environment can be attributed to maintenance, poor or inadequate filtration system, with inadequate water removal mechanism, and inadequate online and offline water washing. Section 4 of this specification provides recommendations to mitigate corrosion issues in gas turbines operation in C4 environments.
It highlights the need for a water removal filtration system and regular online and offline water washing. Section 5 of the specification recommends the optimal filter system for a C4 environment.
E. Impact of C5i and C5m Corrosive Environments
This environment is identified in Section 2 of this specification. Weight loss for the sample metallic specimen when exposed for 1 year should be > 650g/m2 and < 1500 g/m2. This is considered an extreme corrosive environment. Highest corrosion exists in a C5 rating environment.
Examples of C5 corrosive environment include heavy industrial areas and high humidity and aggressive atmosphere, coastal and offshore areas with high salinity.
Propensity for corrosion pits on the blades is the highest in a C5 rated environment and corrosion in a C5 environment can be accelerated further by exposure to elevated temperatures for prolonged periods of time. It has been noted at one particular site that the highly corrosive nature of C5 environment degraded the inlet filter media over time, and reduced the filtration efficiency, resulting in increased fouling and higher levels of corrosive elements entering the machine.
Regular maintenance and inspection are highly recommended for C4 and C5 rated environments. Recommendations for C5 rated environment, highlighted in Section 4 of the specification, comprise new filtration systems coupled with water wash schedules and cycles. Section 5 discussed the need for upgrading the filter system if a power plant operates in C5 environment.

V. INLET FILTRATION SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIFFERENT CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Gas turbine inlet filtration is designed to remove dust and dirt particles that cause erosion, fouling of the gas turbine, and cause hot gas path cooling holes to plug up. There are a variety of inlet filter system components available, that leads to a significant diversity in inlet filtration system configurations offered by GE. The recommendations in this filtration section of the GEK are an addendum to the list relevant inlet filtration documentation issued by GE Energy.
To provide corrosion mitigation to the gas turbine engine, the design of the inlet filtration system should reduce the amount of corrosives entering the gas turbine. These corrosives can exist in 3 states, as they enter the gas turbine.
• Solid Particulate Corrosive elements – Examples include: salt and oxide particles, which can be removed by high efficiency filters.
• Liquid (Aqueous) Corrosives elements - Examples include aqueous chlorides or acids for which general particulate filters are not efficient in removing this corrosive element, but specialist filtration is available that is effective. Two main transfer mechanisms are;
1. Solid salts deposited on particulate filters can deliquesce when the humidity of ambient air rises beyond ~60% relative humidity or when the filter elements get wet due to water. Once the salt absorbs moisture and becomes liquid, it may pass or leach through the filter elements, and enter the gas turbine.
2. Salts entering in dissolved state via rain, fog, mist, aerosol and other sources of water entering the inlet air stream. In addition to liquid salts entering, once this salt solution passes through the final filters there is a potential for the liquid to dry and salt to precipitate out of solution. This salt precipitate or crystallized salt can now enter into the gas turbine.
• Gaseous Corrosive Elements – Examples include acid vapors. Current inlet filtration technology does not exist to remove these corrosives gases.
Gas Turbine Inlet Air Specification GEK 116269

A. Background on Inlet Filtration
Historical high efficiency filters have a high level of filtration efficiency for dry particulates. However, if the filters get wet due to moisture ingress, leaks, condensation, and/or high relative humidity; water-soluble particulates in the filter element dust cake may deliquesce (take on water and become liquid), or dissolve into solution and pass through the final filter into the clean airside of the inlet system. These water-soluble particulates may eventually make their way into the compressor and potentially result in an accelerated rate of corrosion of the compressor. By addressing water bypassing the total inlet filtration system, in addition to maintaining a high particulate efficiency, you may effectively remove the salt from the air stream.
If a site is located in a C4, C5i or C5m environment, a more robust water filtration system is recommended, in addition to a good compressor maintenance program, as noted in section 4 of this specification. Many older units, located in a C4, C5-i or C5-m environments have no moisture removal in the inlet system, other than weather hoods. These units have high possibility of salt migration into the compressor. Some units have basic water removal capabilities with moisture separators/droplet catchers (in the weather hoods), vane separators, and/or coalescing filters. However, the final filters may not be water tight, and deliquescence of water-soluble particulates can still occur.
B. Filter System Recommendation for C4, C5i, and C5m Environments
In a robust water removal filtration system, there are multiple stages used to achieve the desired goal of no water (salt) going past the final filters. These stages have to be selected in sequential combination to achieve the desired filtration system for a C4, C5i or C5m environment. The core water filtration components are:
• Moisture Separator/Droplet Catcher - This is inertial water removal equipment that is provided in the weather hoods, to mitigate the amount of ambient water that could enter into the gas turbine inlet. It is used to remove large water droplets (bulk water), such as wind driven rain, and would be the first stage of a water removal system.
• Vane Separator - This is inertial water removal equipment and would be used instead of a Moisture Separator/Droplet Catcher, which is provided at the face of the filter house, to mitigate the amount of ambient water that could enter into the gas turbine inlet. It is used to remove large water droplets (bulk water), such as wind driven rain, and would be the first stage of a water removal system. Vane separators have higher water removal efficiency than moisture separators/droplet catchers; so weather hoods are not required with vane separators.
• Coalescing Filters - The function of this type of static coalescing filter is to coalesce small droplets (aerosol / mist / spray) into larger ones, which will then drain down the media, or drop out of the air stream. This would be the second stage of any water removal system. This type of filter exists in three configurations: Panel type coalescing pads in weather hoods, panel type coalescing filter in vertical grid and coalescing bag type pre-filter in vertical grid.
• Static Water Tight Final Filters - The static type of watertight final filter is made from a media that is watertight, i.e. does not let water to pass through, while still letting air to pass. It is rated F9 by the EN779-2002 filtration standard, for particulate efficiency and is the final filter. This high level of filtration efficiency allows it to remove very fine dust and dry salt (> 0.3 microns). Being watertight means that it will also remove finer drops of water that may have passed through the earlier stages of filtration (coalescing filters, vane separators, pulse filter etc) and prevent any deliquesced salts passing through.

Some filters may claim to have hydrophobic coatings on their media, but this does not necessarily mean they are water tight, but rather the media does not soak up water, yet water may still pass through the filter itself.
The individual components described in the section above are combined in sequence for different environments to form four basic salt and water removal configurations to mitigate the chance of corrosion for the gas turbine engine. This section is a brief discussion on the functionality and application of these 4 basic configurations to a corrosive environment.
Recommendation for C4, C5i & C5m Corrosive Environments with Moderate or Low Dust.
This configuration can be used in corrosive environments with zero to moderate levels of dust. The F9 final watertight filter prevents water and salt from going downstream into the gas turbine. This can be used when ambient temperatures are greater than 40ºF or there is low possibility of icing.

Recommendation for C4, C5i & C5m Corrosive Environments with Moderate or Low Dust and Icing Conditions, Excluding Heavy Snow.
This configuration can be used in corrosive environments with zero to moderate levels of dust and when ambient temperatures are lower than 40ºF or there is possiblity of ice formation on filter elements. This configuration is similar to the configuration above except that there is an anti-icing system designed to prevent ice formation on the filter elements.

Recommendation for C4, C5i & C5m Corrosive Environments with High Dust Conditions.
This configuration can be used in corrosive environments with high dust levels that have temperatures greater than 40ºF. The self-cleaning filter elements reject most of the dust and the F9 watertight final filter will remove water and salt that passes through the self-cleaning filter element. In months that have fogging season, the weather hoods of the inlet are to be fitted with coalescers and moisture separators to prevent wet dust from sticking to the pulse filter.

This configuration can be used in corrosive environments with high dust levels that have temperatures lower than 40ºF and / or Snow. The self-cleaning filter elements reject most of the dust and / or snow and the ice that will form on the filter elements, while an anti-icing system is needed to prevent ice formation on the final static F9 watertight filter, which is designed to remove water, and salt that passes through the self-cleaning filter elements.

VI. POWER AUGMENTATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Introduction
Optional cooling systems may be integrated into the design of the air inlet compartment, and this is a cost-effective way to increase turbine output during warmer summer months or in warm environments. The power augmentation (cooling) module is typically provided downstream of the filtration stages. Module size and material construction will vary depending on design constraints, contract requirements, and site-specific challenges. Power augmentation in the inlet filter compartment has been typically provided in the form of media-type evaporative coolers or chiller coils. Power augmentation in the inlet ductwork has been typically provided in the form of spray-type evaporative coolers (foggers).
Power augmentation through inlet air conditioning may provide significant performance benefits for gas turbines. The levels of performance benefit, in the form of increased power or heat rate, is dependent on site environmental conditions, i.e., ambient temperatures, relative humidity, etc., and the type of power augmentation used. These benefits typically have trade-offs in the way of increased pressure drops, parasitic loads, parts life, and other considerations. These trade-offs need to be

considered for a complete system evaluation addressing both short and long-term life cycle costs along with net performance benefits.
Additionally, power augmentation equipment if not maintained may potentially have a significant impact on the health of the gas turbine by generating an inlet air condition that could potentially cause excessive erosion, corrosion, or out-of-spec temperature distortions. The following gives a brief description of each and lists some of the more common benefits and pitfalls around the application of these three power augmentation options:
1. Media Type Evaporative Coolers
2. Chiller Coils
3. Spray Type Evaporative Coolers (Foggers)
B. Media Type Evaporative Coolers
Evaporation of water is one of the simplest and oldest methods of cooling air.
Traditional media type evaporative coolers consist of recirculated water sprayed over an extended surface media mounted downstream from the inlet air filters. A moisture eliminator is then mounted immediately downstream of the cooler media to remove any free moisture carryover from the cooler itself. As inlet air passes through the water soaked evaporative cooler media, evaporation occurs.
Energy in the form of heat is removed from the air by evaporating water in the media, which causes cooling and subsequent increase in the density of air, which in turn increases the mass flow and output of the gas turbine.
The correct installation, setup and checkout of the evaporative cooler are critical to its operation, and particularly to the prevention of water carryover (drift) of liquid droplets in the gas turbine airflow path. The installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of the evaporative cooler need to be followed to ensure the health of the gas turbine. In addition, all evaporative coolers shall undergo commissioning per the GE Evaporative Cooler Commissioning procedure prior to initial start up and, during service, a minimum of once a year, at the beginning of the evaporative cooler use season. A copy of the evaporative cooler commissioning procedure is available in the gas turbine Operational and Maintenance (O&M) manual.
The use of suitable water is essential in reducing carryover, mitigating corrosion and scale formation and in obtaining the expected service life and performance from the evaporative cooler. If suitable water treatment guidelines are not established and followed, the evaporative cooler and its media may need more frequent maintenance and/or replacement. Furthermore, poor water quality and/or the mis-operation of the cooler may result in contamination of the gas turbine and may result in forced outage time needed for maintenance, repair and replacement of gas path components. For this reason, it is important that recommended water quality requirements are adhered to GE recommendation and guidelines for media maintenance and water monitoring are followed in order to ensure proper operation of the evaporative cooler. Such Guidelines are established and discussed in detail in the Water Supply Requirement for Gas Turbine Inlet Air Evaporative Coolers document.

C. Chiller Coils
The heat exchangers used within the inlet system consist of a set of finned tubes installed in the inlet filter compartment downstream from the filtration stage. A moisture eliminator is then mounted immediately downstream of the coil to remove any free moisture carryover from the cooler itself, such as condensate.
The cooling / working fluid (ammonia, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) is circulated through the coils to cool the inlet air entering the gas turbine below ambient conditions, often below the air saturation point, to increase the mass flow and power output of the gas turbine.
Chiller coils offer significant advantages over evaporative cooler systems in that they offer net output increase with quicker startup and response times, while not being limited by the surrounding ambient conditions. Chiller coils can provide consistent net power output, and heat rate improvement regardless of environmental limitations such as high outside ambient air temperatures and/or high relative humidity conditions.
Units with chiller coils shall be inspected at a minimum at the beginning and end of the running season (twice per running season) to verify that there are no leaks or debris present in the system that could result in potential damage to the gas turbine. Inlet chiller coil leaks may be potentially dangerous to the gas turbine due to the nature of the coolant fluid (water with ethylene glycol or propylene glycol or in some cases ammonia). Care must be taken to ensure that inlet drains are not blocked, and that they are safely routed to appropriate locations in case of leak from the chiller coil system.
Due to the location of the coils themselves (downstream of the filtration system) concerns over water carryover and/or bypass are applicable. Water carryover is the term used to describe water droplets that become entrained in the airflow stream and travel through the coils and drift eliminators. Water bypass is the term used to describe water droplets that become entrained in the airflow and travel around the drift eliminators and flashing. It is often the result of manufacturing and/or installation defects such as poor caulking, welding, or gaps in between adjacent pieces of drift eliminators. It is generally characterized by location (sidewalls, module interfaces, structural member, etc.) and relatively large droplet size. At no time shall any of the cooling fluid flow outside of the areas designated for its containment within the chiller coil. All drains and associated piping shall be inspected on a regular basis to remove any debris that may impede draining. All internal and external piping shall be checked for leaks and replaced / repaired, as appropriate.
All access hatches (including the external doors on the plenum viewing hatches when applicable) shall be closed and sealed prior to turbine start up. The inlet filter compartment must be completely clean and free of debris upon completion of inspection and prior to commissioning of the turbine. Please contact your local GE Product Services representative for copies of the latest commissioning procedure and/or filter compartment O&M manual, as applicable.
D. Spray Type Evaporative Coolers
Spray-type evaporative coolers or foggers evolved in the late 1990s as a way to meet or exceed the evaporative cooling effectiveness of their media-type counterparts (approximately 85%) without the associated parasitic losses inherent in the additional inlet air pressure drop. The fogger system is one way to enhance gas turbine warm weather output. If not designed properly, a fogger system may have an adverse effect on gas turbine compressor life.

High-pressure water spray is injected into the inlet ductwork through a network of manifolds and nozzles creating cooling and additional mass flow to turbine. Spray mixes with inlet air in a long straight run of inlet ductwork prior to entering the compressor inlet bell mouth. High-purity or de-mineralized water is used in fogger systems in order to reduce concerns related to contamination.
Units with foggers shall be inspected at every possible interval to verify that there are no leaks, debris or plugging present in the system that could result in potential damage to the gas turbine. Water pumps, control devices (filters, isolation valves, flow meters, etc.), and interconnecting piping provided as part as the fogger system shall be tested and verified to meet specified parameters per the gas turbine Operational and Maintenance (O&M) manual.
Fogger manifolds and nozzles shall be inspected for plugging and/or bending that may preclude optimal mixing of water and airflow. Excessive water accumulation on the ductwork floors shall be investigated, understood and eliminated to the fullest extent possible. In case of leakage, system drains provided as part of the inlet ductwork and plenum shall be verified to ensure that these drains and gutters are not blocked, and that they are fully functional in order to minimize possibility of damage to the compressor and gas turbine.
All access hatches (including plenum viewing hatches when applicable) shall be closed and sealed prior to turbine start up. The inlet filter compartment must be clean and free of debris upon completion of inspection and prior to commissioning of the turbine.
VII. MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF CORROSIVE NATURE OF ENVIRONMENT
Determination of the possibility of compressor corrosion at a particular site requires the understanding of the following 3 elements:
1. Air quality of the local Environment
2. Filtration System Performance
3. Maintenance Practices carried out on the Gas Turbine
An ideal situation would be for these elements to be monitored on a continuous real-time basis and even a direct measure of compressor corrosion. However, using technology available today, it is only possible to quantify elements 1 and 2 by batch measurement (average over time), with element 3 understood in terms of what is carried out, but not its effectiveness at a particular site with respect to compressor corrosion.
A. Batch Measurement (Average over Time)
The following batch measurement techniques provide measurement of key corrosion drivers:
Coupon Placement
• Corrosion rating of the environment being analyzed for various metal types, as detailed within ISO 9223, based upon an annual average
• Average Time of Wetness
• Average Sulfide deposition rate, three month average
• Average Chloride deposition rate, three month average
Gas Turbine Inlet Air Specification GEK 116269

Air Sampling
• Average dust concentration, dirty air and clean air side
• Average chemical element concentration, dirty air and clean air side
• Average filter efficiency vs. dust experienced at site
• Average filter efficiency vs. various chemical elements experienced at site Off Line Water Wash Drainage Water Sampling
• Levels of chemical elements relative to one another impacted on the surface of the compressor blades, i.e. identification of the major pollutants that affect the compressor at a specific site.
• pH level, which is meaningless in isolation, but useful when compared with other Fleet machines for the same drainage water sample.
1. Coupon Placement
Dirty Air Side Corrosivity Classification – previously described in Section 1.4.1 “Method 1: Exposure of Standard Metallic Specimens.”
Clean Air Side Corrosivity Classification
The clean air path within the GT air inlet downstream of the filter system is a sensitive environment to the safe and reliable operation of the gas turbine and as such, mounting standard coupons, as defined within ISO standard 9223 to 9226, is not appropriate, as it raises the possibility of FOD and flow distortion to unacceptable levels.
GE has defined a proprietary method for exposing standard coupons as defined within ISO 9223 to 9226, utilizing coupon exposure unit as described in figure 16, which draws air out of the GT inlet system, passes it over the coupons and then returns it to the inlet system. The coupon exposure unit provides the following specifically designed features to ensure a high quality and representative measurement.
• Contains a built in pump to drive air across the coupons
• Designed to provide uniform flow across all the coupons
• Extracts air from the inlet system passes it over the coupons and then re-injects it and so is unaffected by the duct under pressure
• Provides a sealed environment
• Test chamber is insulated from external heat to ensure same temperature and humidity conditions as inside the inlet duct
• Electrically isolates coupons from each other
• Mesh on inlet and outlet to prevent risk from FOD
• Provides ability to remove coupons while installed
• Can be opened while online to view the condition of the coupons without interrupting the test or risking contamination
• Intrinsically safe

• Completely stainless steel construction
• Supplied with weather / sun shield

GE is continuing to define correlations between the results gained utilizing ISO 9223 to 9226 and the exposure method defined in the standard, and those obtained utilizing the Coupon Exposure Unit.
2. Air Sampling
The objective of this technique is to capture the contaminant within a known volume of sampled air, onto a sample filter, which can then be analyzed for content.
In its simplest form this GE proprietary technique utilizes a probe within the airstream, attached to a very high efficiency sample filter, sample extraction pump and flow rate or total flow measuring device, see schematic below.

The probe is placed within the airstream to be sampled, e.g., in the clean air duct of the GT inlet system. A sample of the air is drawn out of the duct via the probe, and passed through the sample filter, where contaminants present in the sample air are deposited. The sample air then passes through the airflow rate, or total meter, to enable a measurement of the quantity of air sampled. Finally, the sample air passes through the sample pump, which is driving the sample flow rate.
A single sample is typically run for a set period of time, with the longer the period, the better the average. Typical values range from several hours to about 1 month, with the later being preferred.
If two sampling exercises are carried out simultaneously, with one being upstream (dirty side) of the GT inlet filters and the second being downstream (clean air side) of the GT inlet filters, then it is possible to determine the actual, in-service filtration efficiency of the filters.
Sampling Duration
Within any given day, there can be many variations of the contaminants within the airstream entering the GT inlet, due to local external factors, such as weather conditions, prevailing wind direction, frequency and duration of nearby pollution sources, such as gas flares, major highways etc. It is therefore desirable to capture a sample that represents a true average of all events. The aim being a continuously renewed sample for a 12-month period.
While the equipment may appear to be relatively simple to carryout this type of analysis, there are some important specifics to the design and configuration of the apparatus to ensure a representative and safe sampling exercise.
Probe Design
The inlet ducting of a GT air inlet is a possible risk area for the continued safe operation of a GE machine. As such the design of a probe should be suitable for this type of environment, this would include such items as no loose fixings, calculation of the distortion of the air flowing past, eddy shedding etc.
The airflow conditions at the probe entrance and through the probe tubing are also important to ensure a representative sample of inlet air is obtained.

Figure 17. Typical Sample Probe
Sampler Design
The design of the air sampler (filter, pump and flow meter) should be suitably configured for use with a GT inlet. The specific environment must be considered, in terms of likely operating weather conditions, but also with regards to the types of services available on site, i.e., electric mains, compressed air etc, as well as any safety or hazardous requirements, such as being “Intrinsically Safe”.
Sample Analysis
A variety of analysis techniques can be utilized. Typically, semi quantative X-ray Fluorescence is used to establish the levels of various elements. If the sampling equipment used takes multiple samples at the same time, further detailed analysis can then be carried out depending upon the initial results.
3. Off Line Water Wash Drainage Water Sampling
During an off line water wash, water and water containing a detergent is injected into the machine to clean contaminants that have become attached to the compressor rotor and stator blades. The resulting dirty water is then piped straight to a site drain. This drain water can then provide information as to what substances are being deposited on the compressor blades.
The standard water wash cycle is carried out as follows
1. First wash cycle pulse with water only.
2. Start the off-line water wash program automatically. (This consists of 7 wash pulse with a mixture of water/detergent.)
3. After the 7 pulses, let the mix of water and soap rest in the compressor for 20 minutes before starting the rinse cycle.

4. The compressor will go through 35 rinsing pulses (or more if needed) until it reaches a conductivity that is 5ms or less different that the water in the water tank or has steady readings for more than 5 rinse pulses.
One sample should be taken at the end of step 1, 2, and 3 resulting in a total of three samples.

IntroductionMaintenance costs and machine availability are two of the most
important concerns to a heavy-duty gas turbine equipment
owner. Therefore, a well thought out maintenance program that
reduces the owner’s costs while increasing equipment availability
should be instituted. For this maintenance program to be effective,
owners should develop a general understanding of the relationship
between the operating plans and priorities for the plant, the skill
level of operating and maintenance personnel, and all equipment
manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the number and
types of inspections, spare parts planning, and other major factors
affecting component life and proper operation of the equipment.
In this document, operating and maintenance practices for
heavy-duty gas turbines will be reviewed, with emphasis placed
on types of inspections plus operating factors that influence
maintenance schedules.
Note:
• The operation and maintenance practices outlined in this
document are based on full utilization of GE-approved parts,
repairs, and services.
• The operating and maintenance discussions presented
are generally applicable to all GE heavy-duty gas turbines;
i.e., Frames 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9. Appendix G provides a list of common
B/E- and F-class heavy-duty gas turbines with current and
former naming conventions. For purposes of illustration, the
GE GT-7E.03 was chosen for most components except exhaust
systems, which are illustrated using different gas turbine models
as indicated. Also, the operating and maintenance discussions
presented for all B/E-class units are generally applicable to
Frame 3 and Frame 5 units unless otherwise indicated.
Consult the GE Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual
for specific questions on a given machine, or contact the
local GE service representative.
Maintenance PlanningAdvanced planning for maintenance is necessary for utility,
industrial, independent power, and cogeneration plant operators
in order to maintain reliability and availability. The correct
implementation of planned maintenance and inspection provides
direct benefits in the avoidance of forced outages, unscheduled
Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Operating and Maintenance Considerations
repairs, and downtime. The primary factors that affect the
maintenance planning process are shown in Figure 1. The
owners’ operating mode and practices will determine how each
factor is weighted. Gas turbine parts requiring the most careful
attention are those associated with the combustion process,
together with those exposed to the hot gases discharged from the
combustion system. These are called the combustion section and
hot gas path parts, and they include combustion liners, end caps,
fuel nozzle assemblies, crossfire tubes, transition pieces, turbine
nozzles, turbine stationary shrouds, and turbine buckets.
Additional, longer-term areas for consideration and planning
are the lives of the compressor rotor, turbine rotor, casings, and
exhaust diffuser. The basic design and recommended maintenance
of GE heavy-duty gas turbines are oriented toward:
• Maximum periods of operation between inspections
and overhauls
• In-place, on-site inspection and maintenance
• Use of local trade skills to disassemble, inspect, and re-assemble
gas turbine components
In addition to maintenance of the basic gas turbine, other station
auxiliaries require periodic servicing including the control devices,
fuel-metering equipment, gas turbine auxiliaries, and load package.
The primary maintenance effort involves five basic systems:
controls and accessories, combustion, turbine, generator, and
balance-of-plant. Controls and accessories are typically serviced
in outages of short duration, whereas the other four systems are
maintained through less frequent outages of longer duration.
This document is focused on maintenance planning for the basic
gas turbine, which includes the combustion and turbine systems.
The other systems, while outside the scope of this document, also
need to be considered for successful plant maintenance.
The inspection and repair requirements, outlined in the O&M
Manual provided to each owner, lend themselves to establishing
a pattern of inspections. These inspection patterns will vary from
site to site, because factors such as air and fuel quality are used
to develop an inspection and maintenance program. In addition,
supplementary information is provided through a system of
Technical Information Letters (TILs) associated with specific gas
turbines after shipment. This updated information, in addition
to the O&M Manual, assures optimum installation, operation,
2
and maintenance of the turbine. (See Figure 2.) Many of the TILs
contain advisory technical recommendations to help resolve
issues and improve the operation, maintenance, safety, reliability,
or availability of the turbine. The recommendations contained in
TILs should be reviewed and factored into the overall maintenance
planning program.
• O&M Manual

Gas Turbine Design Maintenance FeaturesThe GE heavy-duty gas turbine is designed to withstand severe
duty and to be maintained on-site, with off-site repair required
only on certain combustion components, hot gas path parts, and
rotor assemblies needing specialized shop service. The following
features are designed into GE heavy-duty gas turbines to facilitate
on-site maintenance:
• All casings, shells and frames are split on machine horizontal
centerline. Upper halves may be lifted individually for access to
internal parts.
• With upper-half compressor casings removed, all stationary
vanes can be slid circumferentially out of the casings for
inspection or replacement without rotor removal.
• With the upper-half of the turbine shell lifted, each half of the
first stage nozzle assembly can be removed for inspection,
repair, or replacement without rotor removal. On some units,
upper-half, later-stage nozzle assemblies are lifted with the
turbine shell, also allowing inspection and/or removal of
the turbine buckets.

• All turbine buckets are moment-weighed and computer charted
in sets for rotor spool assembly so that they may be replaced
without the need to remove or rebalance the rotor assembly.
• All bearing housings and liners are split on the horizontal
centerline so that they may be inspected and replaced when
necessary. The lower half of the bearing liner can be removed
without removing the rotor.
• All seals and shaft packings are separate from the main
bearing housings and casing structures and may be readily
removed and replaced.
• On most designs, fuel nozzles, combustion liners and flow
sleeves can be removed for inspection, maintenance, or
replacement without lifting any casings. All major accessories,
including filters and coolers, are separate assemblies that are
readily accessible for inspection or maintenance. They may
also be individually replaced as necessary.
• Casings can be inspected during any outage or any shutdown
when the unit enclosure is cool enough for safe entry. The
exterior of the inlet, compressor case, compressor discharge
case, turbine case, and exhaust frame can be inspected during
any outage or period when the enclosure is accessible. The
interior surfaces of these cases can be inspected to various
degrees depending on the type of outage performed. All interior
surfaces can be inspected during a major outage when the rotor
has been removed.
• Exhaust diffusers can be inspected during any outage by
entering the diffuser through the stack or Heat Recovery
Steam Generator (HRSG) access doors. The flow path surfaces,
flex seals, and other flow path hardware can be visually
inspected with or without the use of a borescope. Diffusers
can be weld-repaired without the need to remove the exhaust
frame upper half.
• Inlets can be inspected during any outage or shutdown.
As an alternative to on-site maintenance, in some cases plant
availability can be improved by applying gas turbine modular
replacements. This is accomplished by exchanging engine modules
or even the complete gas turbine with new or refurbished units.
The removed modules/engines can then be sent to an alternate
location for maintenance.
Provisions have been built into GE heavy-duty gas turbines to
facilitate several special inspection procedures. These special
procedures provide for the visual inspection and clearance
measurement of some of the critical internal components
without removal of the casings. These procedures include gas
path borescope inspection (BI), radial clearance measurements,
and turbine nozzle axial clearance measurements.
A GE gas turbine is a fully integrated design consisting of stationary
and rotating mechanical, fluid, thermal, and electrical systems.
The turbine’s performance, as well as the performance of each
component within the turbine, is dependent upon the operating
interrelationship between internal components and the total
operating systems. GE’s engineering process evaluates how new
designs, design changes, and repairs affect components and
systems. This design, evaluation, testing, and approval assures
the proper balance and interaction between all components and
systems for safe, reliable, and economical operation.
The introduction of new, repaired, or modified parts must be
evaluated in order to avoid negative effects on the operation
and reliability of the entire system. The use of non-GE approved
parts, repairs, and maintenance practices may represent a
significant risk. Pursuant to the governing terms and conditions,
warranties and performance guarantees are predicated upon
proper storage, installation, operation, and maintenance,
conforming to GE approved operating instruction manuals
and repair/modification procedures.
Borescope InspectionsAn effective borescope inspection program monitors the condition
of internal components without casing removal. Borescope
inspections should be scheduled with consideration given to the
operation and environment of the gas turbine and information
from the O&M Manual and TILs.
GE heavy-duty gas turbine designs incorporate provisions in
both compressor and turbine casings for borescope inspection
of intermediate compressor rotor stages, first, second and third-
stage turbine buckets, and turbine nozzle partitions. These
provisions are radially aligned holes through the compressor
casings, turbine shell, and internal stationary turbine shrouds
that allow the penetration of an optical borescope into the
compressor or turbine flow path area, as shown in Figure 3.
4
Borescope inspection access locations for F-class gas turbines
can be found in Appendix E.
Figure 4 provides a recommended interval for a planned
borescope inspection program following initial baseline
inspections. It should be recognized that these borescope
inspection intervals are based on average unit operating modes.
Adjustment of these borescope intervals may be made based
on operating experience, mode of operation, fuels used, and the
results of previous borescope inspections.
In general, an annual or semiannual borescope inspection uses
all the available access points to verify the condition of the
internal hardware. This should include, but is not limited to, signs
of excessive gas path fouling, symptoms of surface degradation
(such as erosion, corrosion, or spalling), displaced components,
deformation or object damage, material loss, nicks, dents, cracking,
indications of contact or rubbing, or other anomalous conditions.

During BIs and similar inspections, the condition of the upstream
components should be verified, including all systems from the filter
house to the compressor inlet.
The application of a borescope monitoring program will assist with
the scheduling of outages and preplanning of parts requirements,
resulting in outage preparedness, lower maintenance costs, and
higher availability and reliability of the gas turbine.

Major Factors Influencing Maintenance and Equipment LifeThere are many factors that can influence equipment life,
and these must be understood and accounted for in the
owner’s maintenance planning. Starting cycle (hours per start),
power setting, fuel, level of steam or water injection, and
site environmental conditions are some of the key factors in
determining maintenance interval requirements, as these factors
directly influence the life of replaceable gas turbine parts.
Non-consumable components and systems, such as the
compressor airfoils, may be affected by site environmental
conditions as well as plant and accessory system effects. Other
factors affecting maintenance planning are shown in Figure 1.
Operators should consider these external factors to prevent the
degradation and shortened life of non-consumable components.
GE provides supplementary documentation to assist in this regard.
In the GE approach to maintenance planning, a natural gas fuel
unit that operates at base load with no water or steam injection
is established as the baseline condition, which sets the maximum
recommended maintenance intervals. For operation that differs
from the baseline, maintenance factors (MF) are established to
quantify the effect on component lives and provide the increased
frequency of maintenance required. For example, a maintenance
factor of two would indicate a maintenance interval that is half of
the baseline interval.
Starts and Hours CriteriaGas turbines wear differently in continuous duty application and
cyclic duty application, as shown in Figure 5. Thermal mechanical
fatigue is the dominant life limiter for peaking machines, while
creep, oxidation, and corrosion are the dominant life limiters for
continuous duty machines. Interactions of these mechanisms
are considered in the GE design criteria but to a great extent
are second-order effects. For that reason, GE bases gas turbine
maintenance requirements on independent counts of starts and
hours. Whichever criteria limit is first reached determines the
maintenance interval. A graphical display of the GE approach
is shown in Figure 6. In this figure, the inspection interval
recommendation is defined by the rectangle established
by the starts and hours criteria. These recommendations
for inspection fall within the design life expectations and are
selected such that components acceptable for continued use
at the inspection point will have low risk of failure during the
subsequent operating interval.

Figure 5 . Causes of wear – hot gas path components
An alternative to the GE approach, which is sometimes employed
by other manufacturers, converts each start cycle to an equivalent
number of operating hours (EOH) with inspection intervals based
on the equivalent hours count. For the reasons previously stated,
GE does not use this approach. While this logic can create the
impression of longer intervals, it actually may result in more
frequent maintenance inspections, since separate effects are
considered additive. Referring again to Figure 6, the starts and
hours inspection “rectangle” is reduced by half as defined by the
diagonal line from the starts limit at the upper left hand corner
to the hours limit at the lower right hand corner. Midrange duty
applications, with hours-per-start ratios of 30-50, are particularly
penalized by this approach.
This is further illustrated in Figure 7 for the example of a 7E.03
gas turbine operating on natural gas fuel, at base load conditions
with no steam or water injection or trips from load. The unit
operates 4000 hours and 300 starts per year. Following GE’s
recommendations, the operator would perform the hot gas path
inspection after four years of operation, with starts being the
limiting condition. Performing maintenance on this same unit
based on an equivalent hours criteria would require a hot gas
path inspection after 2.4 years. Similarly, for a continuous duty
application operating 8000 hours and 160 starts per year, the
GE recommendation would be to perform the hot gas path
inspection after three years of operation with the operating
hours being the limiting condition for this case. The equivalent
hours criteria would set the hot gas path inspection after
2.1 years of operation for this application.

Service FactorsWhile GE does not subscribe to the equivalency of starts to hours,
there are equivalencies within a wear mechanism that must be
considered. As shown in Figure 8, influences such as fuel type and
quality, firing temperature setting, and the amount of steam or
water injection are considered with regard to the hours-based
criteria. Startup rate and the number of trips are considered with
regard to the starts-based criteria. In both cases, these influences
may reduce the maintenance intervals.
Typical baseline inspection intervals (6B.03/7E.03):
Hot gas path inspection 24,000 hrs or 1200 starts
Major inspection 48,000 hrs or 2400 starts
Criterion is hours or starts (whichever occurs first)
Factors affecting maintenance:
Hours-Based Factors
• Fuel type
• Peak load
• Diluent (water or steam injection)
Starts-Based Factors
• Start type (conventional or peaking-fast)
• Start load (max. load achieved during start cycle, e.g. part, base, or peak load)
• Trips
Figure 8 . Maintenance factors
When these service or maintenance factors are involved in a unit’s
operating profile, the hot gas path maintenance “rectangle” that
describes the specific maintenance criteria for this operation is
reduced from the ideal case, as illustrated in Figure 9. The following
discussion will take a closer look at the key operating factors
and how they can affect maintenance intervals as well as parts
refurbishment/replacement intervals.
FuelFuels burned in gas turbines range from clean natural gas to
residual oils and affect maintenance, as illustrated in Figure 10.
Although Figure 10 provides the basic relationship between fuel
severity factor and hydrogen content of the fuel, there are other

severity factor typically requires a comprehensive understanding
of fuel constituents and how they affect system maintenance.
The selected fuel severity factor should also be adjusted based
on inspection results and operating experience.
Heavier hydrocarbon fuels have a maintenance factor ranging
from three to four for residual fuels and two to three for crude
oil fuels. This maintenance factor is adjusted based on the
water-to-fuel ratio in cases when water injection for NOx
abatement is used. These fuels generally release a higher
amount of radiant thermal energy, which results in a subsequent
reduction in combustion hardware life, and frequently contain
corrosive elements such as sodium, potassium, vanadium, and
lead that can cause accelerated hot corrosion of turbine nozzles
and buckets. In addition, some elements in these fuels can
cause deposits either directly or through compounds formed
with inhibitors that are used to prevent corrosion. These
deposits affect performance and can require more frequent
maintenance.
Distillates, as refined, do not generally contain high levels of
these corrosive elements, but harmful contaminants can be
present in these fuels when delivered to the site. Two common
ways of contaminating number two distillate fuel oil are: salt-
water ballast mixing with the cargo during sea transport, and
contamination of the distillate fuel when transported to site in
tankers, tank trucks, or pipelines that were previously used to
transport contaminated fuel, chemicals, or leaded gasoline. GE’s
experience with distillate fuels indicates that the hot gas path
maintenance factor can range from as low as one (equivalent
to natural gas) to as high as three. Unless operating experience
suggests otherwise, it is recommended that a hot gas path
maintenance factor of 1.5 be used for operation on distillate oil.
Note also that contaminants in liquid fuels can affect the life
of gas turbine auxiliary components such as fuel pumps and
flow dividers.
Not shown in Figure 10 are alternative fuels such as industrial
process gas, syngas, and bio-fuel. A wide variety of alternative
fuels exist, each with their own considerations for combustion in
a gas turbine. Although some alternative fuels can have a neutral
effect on gas turbine maintenance, many alternative fuels require
unit-specific intervals and fuel severity factors to account for their
fuel constituents or water/steam injection requirements.
As shown in Figure 10, natural gas fuel that meets GE specification
is considered the baseline, optimum fuel with regard to turbine
maintenance. Proper adherence to GE fuel specifications in
GEI-41040 and GEI-41047 is required to allow proper combustion
system operation and to maintain applicable warranties. Liquid
hydrocarbon carryover can expose the hot gas path hardware to
severe overtemperature conditions that can result in significant
reductions in hot gas path parts lives or repair intervals.
Liquid hydrocarbon carryover is also responsible for upstream
displacement of flame in combustion chambers, which can lead
to severe combustion hardware damage. Owners can control
this potential issue by using effective gas scrubber systems and
by superheating the gaseous fuel prior to use to approximately
50°F (28°C) above the hydrocarbon dew point temperature at
the turbine gas control valve connection. For exact superheat
requirement calculations, please review GEI 41040. Integral to the
system, coalescing filters installed upstream of the performance
gas heaters is a best practice and ensures the most efficient
removal of liquids and vapor phase constituents.
Undetected and untreated, a single shipment of contaminated
fuel can cause substantial damage to the gas turbine hot gas
path components. Potentially high maintenance costs and loss
of availability can be minimized or eliminated by:
• Placing a proper fuel specification on the fuel supplier.
For liquid fuels, each shipment should include a report that
identifies specific gravity, flash point, viscosity, sulfur content,
pour point and ash content of the fuel.
• Providing a regular fuel quality sampling and analysis program.
As part of this program, continuous monitoring of water
content in fuel oil is recommended, as is fuel analysis that,
at a minimum, monitors vanadium, lead, sodium, potassium,
calcium, and magnesium.
• Providing proper maintenance of the fuel treatment system
when burning heavier fuel oils.
• Providing cleanup equipment for distillate fuels when there
is a potential for contamination.
In addition to their presence in the fuel, contaminants can
also enter the turbine via inlet air, steam/water injection, and
carryover from evaporative coolers. In some cases, these
sources of contaminants have been found to cause hot gas path
GE Power & Water | GER-3620M (02/15) 9
degradation equal to that seen with fuel-related contaminants.
GE specifications define limits for maximum concentrations of
contaminants for fuel, air, and steam/water.
In addition to fuel quality, fuel system operation is also a factor in
equipment maintenance. Liquid fuel should not remain unpurged
or in contact with hot combustion components after shutdown
and should not be allowed to stagnate in the fuel system when
strictly gas fuel is run for an extended time. To minimize varnish
and coke accumulation, dual fuel units (gas and liquid capable)
should be shutdown running gas fuel whenever possible. Likewise,
during extended operation on gas, regular transfers from gas to
liquid are recommended to exercise the system components and
minimize coking.
Contamination and build-up may prevent the system from
removing fuel oil and other liquids from the combustion,
compressor discharge, turbine, and exhaust sections when
the unit is shut down or during startup. Liquid fuel oil trapped
in the system piping also creates a safety risk. Correct functioning
of the false start drain system (FSDS) should be ensured through
proper maintenance and inspection per GE procedures.
Firing TemperaturesPeak load is defined as operation above base load and is
achieved by increasing turbine operating temperatures.
Significant operation at peak load will require more frequent
maintenance and replacement of hot gas path and combustion
components. Figure 11 defines the parts life effect corresponding
to increases in firing temperature. It should be noted that this is
not a linear relationship, and this equation should not be used for
decreases in firing temperature.
It is important to recognize that a reduction in load does not
always mean a reduction in firing temperature. For example, in
heat recovery applications, where steam generation drives overall
plant efficiency, load is first reduced by closing variable inlet
guide vanes to reduce inlet airflow while maintaining maximum
exhaust temperature. For these combined cycle applications,
firing temperature does not decrease until load is reduced below
approximately 80% of rated output. Conversely, a non-DLN turbine
running in simple cycle mode maintains fully open inlet guide
vanes during a load reduction to 80% and will experience over a
200°F/111°C reduction in firing temperature at this output level.
The hot gas path parts life changes for different modes of
operation. This turbine control effect is illustrated in Figure 12.
Turbines with DLN combustion systems use inlet guide vane
turndown as well as inlet bleed heat to extend operation of
low NOx premix operation to part load conditions.
Firing temperature effects on hot gas path maintenance, as
described above, relate to clean burning fuels, such as natural
gas and light distillates, where creep rupture of hot gas path
components is the primary life limiter and is the mechanism
that determines the hot gas path maintenance interval impact.
With ash-bearing heavy fuels, corrosion and deposits are
the primary influence and a different relationship with firing
temperature exists.
Steam/Water InjectionWater or steam injection for emissions control or power
augmentation can affect part life and maintenance intervals
even when the water or steam meets GE specifications. This
relates to the effect of the added water on the hot gas transport
properties. Higher gas conductivity, in particular, increases the

heat transfer to the buckets and nozzles and can lead to higher
metal temperature and reduced part life.
Part life reduction from steam or water injection is directly
affected by the way the turbine is controlled. The control system
on most base load applications reduces firing temperature as
water or steam is injected. This is known as dry control curve
operation, which counters the effect of the higher heat transfer
on the gas side and results in no net effect on bucket life. This
is the standard configuration for all gas turbines, both with and
without water or steam injection. On some installations, however,
the control system is designed to keep firing temperature constant
with water or steam injection. This is known as wet control curve
operation, which results in additional unit output but decreases
parts life as previously described. Units controlled in this way
are generally in peaking applications where annual operating
hours are low or where operators have determined that reduced
parts lives are justified by the power advantage. Figure 13
illustrates the wet and dry control curve and the performance
differences that result from these two different modes of control.
An additional factor associated with water or steam injection
relates to the higher aerodynamic loading on the turbine
components that results from the injected flow increasing the
cycle pressure ratio. This additional loading can increase the
downstream deflection rate of the second- and third-stage nozzles,
which would reduce the repair interval for these components.
However, the introduction of high creep strength stage two and
three nozzle (S2N/S3N) alloys, such as GTD-222™ and GTD-241™,
has reduced this factor in comparison to previously applied
materials such as FSX-414 and N-155.
Water injection for NOx abatement should be performed according
to the control schedule implemented in the controls system.
Forcing operation of the water injection system at high loads
can lead to combustion and HGP hardware damage due to
thermal shock.
Cyclic Effects and Fast StartsIn the previous discussion, operating factors that affect the
hours-based maintenance criteria were described. For the
starts-based maintenance criteria, operating factors associated
with the cyclic effects induced during startup, operation, and
shutdown of the turbine must be considered. Operating conditions
other than the standard startup and shutdown sequence can
potentially reduce the cyclic life of the gas turbine components
and may require more frequent maintenance including part
refurbishment and/or replacement.
Fast starts are common deviations from the standard startup
sequence. GE has introduced a number of different fast start
systems, each applicable to particular gas turbine models. Fast
starts may include any combination of Anticipated Start Purge,
fast acceleration (light-off to FSNL), and fast loading. Some fast
start methods do not affect inspection interval maintenance
factors. Fast starts that do affect maintenance factors are
referred to as peaking-fast starts or simply peaking starts.
The effect of peaking-fast starts on the maintenance interval
depends on the gas turbine model, the unit configuration, and
the particular start characteristics. For example, simple cycle
7F.03 units with fast start capability can perform a peaking start
in which the unit is brought from light-off to full load in less than
15 minutes. Conversely, simple cycle 6B and other smaller frame
units can perform conventional starts that are less than 15
minutes without affecting any maintenance factors. For units
that have peaking-fast start capability, Figure 14 shows
conservative peaking-start factors that may apply.
Because the peaking-fast start factors can vary by unit and
by system, the baseline factors may not apply to all units. For
example, the latest 7F.03 peaking-fast start system has the start
factors shown in Figure 15. For comparison, the 7F.03 nominal
fast start that does not affect maintenance is also listed. Consult
applicable unit-specific documentation or your GE service
representative to verify the start factors that apply.

Hot Gas Path PartsFigure 16 illustrates the firing temperature changes occurring
over a normal startup and shutdown cycle. Light-off, acceleration,
loading, unloading, and shutdown all produce gas and metal
temperature changes. For rapid changes in gas temperature,
the edges of the bucket or nozzle respond more quickly than
the thicker bulk section, as pictured in Figure 17. These gradients,
in turn, produce thermal stresses that, when cycled, can eventually
lead to cracking.
Figure 18 describes the temperature/strain history of a 7E.03
stage 1 bucket during a normal startup and shutdown cycle.
Light-off and acceleration produce transient compressive strains
in the bucket as the fast responding leading edge heats up more
quickly than the thicker bulk section of the airfoil. At full load
conditions, the bucket reaches its maximum metal temperature
and a compressive strain is produced from the normal steady
state temperature gradients that exist in the cooled part. At
shutdown, the conditions reverse and the faster responding
edges cool more quickly than the bulk section, which results
in a tensile strain at the leading edge.
Thermal mechanical fatigue testing has found that the number
of cycles that a part can withstand before cracking occurs is
strongly influenced by the total strain range and the maximum
metal temperature. Any operating condition that significantly
increases the strain range and/or the maximum metal temperature
over the normal cycle conditions will reduce the fatigue life and
increase the starts-based maintenance factor. For example,

Figure 19 compares a normal operating cycle with one that
includes a trip from full load. The significant increase in the
strain range for a trip cycle results in a life effect that equates
to eight normal start/stop cycles, as shown. Trips from part
load will have a reduced effect because of the lower metal
temperatures at the initiation of the trip event. Figure 20
illustrates that while a trip from between 80% and 100% load
has an 8:1 trip severity factor, a trip from full speed no load (FSNL)
has a trip severity factor of 2:1. Similarly, overfiring of the unit
during peak load operation leads to increased component

metal temperatures. As a result, a trip from peak load has
a trip severity factor of 10:1.
Trips are to be assessed in addition to the regular startup/shutdown
cycles as starts adders. As such, in the factored starts equation
of Figure 43, one is subtracted from the severity factor so that the
net result of the formula (Figure 43) is the same as that dictated
by the increased strain range. For example, a startup and trip
from base load would count as eight total cycles (one cycle for
startup to base load plus 8-1=7 cycles for trip from base load),
just as indicated by the 8:1 maintenance factor.
Similarly to trips from load, peaking-fast starts will affect the
starts-based maintenance interval. Like trips, the effects of
a peaking-fast start on the machine are considered separate
from a normal cycle and their effects must be tabulated in
addition to the normal start/stop cycle. However, there is no
-1 applied to these factors, so a 7F.03 peaking-fast start during
a base load cycle would have a total effect of 1.5 cycles.
Refer to Appendix A for factored starts examples, and consult
unit-specific documentation to determine if an alternative
hot gas path peaking-fast start factor applies.
While the factors described above will decrease the starts-based
maintenance interval, part load operating cycles allow for an
extension of the maintenance interval. Figure 21 can be used in
considering this type of operation. For example, two operating
cycles to maximum load levels of less than 60% would equate
to one start to a load greater than 60% or, stated another way,
would have a maintenance factor of 0.5.
Factored starts calculations are based upon the maximum load
achieved during operation. Therefore, if a unit is operated at part
load for three weeks, and then ramped up to base load for the last
ten minutes, then the unit’s total operation would be described as a
base load start/stop cycle.
Rotor PartsThe maintenance and refurbishment requirements of the rotor
structure, like the hot gas path components, are affected by
the cyclic effects of startup, operation, and shutdown, as well as
loading and off-load characteristics. Maintenance factors specific
to the operating profile and rotor design must be incorporated into
the operator’s maintenance planning. Disassembly and inspection
of all rotor components is required when the accumulated rotor
starts or hours reach the inspection limit. (See Figure 44 and
Figure 45 in the Inspection Intervals section.)
The thermal condition when the startup sequence is initiated
is a major factor in determining the rotor maintenance interval
and individual rotor component life. Rotors that are cold when
the startup commences experience transient thermal stresses
as the turbine is brought on line. Large rotors with their longer
thermal time constants develop higher thermal stresses than
smaller rotors undergoing the same startup time sequence. High
thermal stresses reduce thermal mechanical fatigue life and the
inspection interval.
Though the concept of rotor maintenance factors is applicable
to all gas turbine rotors, only F-class rotors will be discussed in
detail. For all other rotors, reference unit-specific documentation
to determine additional maintenance factors that may apply.

14
The rotor maintenance factor for a startup is a function of the
downtime following a previous period of operation. As downtime
increases, the rotor metal temperature approaches ambient
conditions, and thermal fatigue during a subsequent startup
increases. As such, cold starts are assigned a rotor maintenance
factor of two and hot starts a rotor maintenance factor of less
than one due to the lower thermal stress under hot conditions.
This effect varies from one location in the rotor structure to
another. The most limiting location determines the overall rotor
maintenance factor.
Initial rotor thermal condition is not the only operating factor
that influences rotor maintenance intervals and component
life. Peaking-fast starts, where the turbine is ramped quickly
to load, increase thermal gradients on the rotor. Trips from
load, particularly trips followed by immediate restarts, and hot
restarts reduce the rotor maintenance interval. Figure 22 lists
recommended operating factors that should be used to determine
the rotor’s overall maintenance factor for certain F-class rotors.

Figure 22 . Operation-related maintenance factors
The significance of each of these factors is dependent on the unit
operation. There are three categories of operation that are typical
of most gas turbine applications. These are peaking, cyclic, and
continuous duty as described below:
• Peaking units have a relatively high starting frequency and a low
number of hours per start. Operation follows a seasonal demand.
Peaking units will generally see a high percentage of warm and
cold starts.
• Cyclic units start daily with weekend shutdowns. Twelve to
sixteen hours per start is typical, which results in a warm rotor
condition for a large percentage of the starts. Cold starts are
generally seen only after a maintenance outage or following a
two-day weekend outage.
• Continuous duty applications see a high number of hours
per start. Most starts are cold because outages are generally
maintenance driven. While the percentage of cold starts is high,
the total number of starts is low. The rotor maintenance interval
on continuous duty units will be determined by operating hours
rather than starts.
Figure 23 lists operating profiles on the high end of each of
these three general categories of gas turbine applications. These
duty cycles have different combinations of hot, warm, and cold
starts with each starting condition having a different effect on
rotor maintenance interval as previously discussed. As a result,
the starts-based rotor maintenance interval will depend on an
application’s specific duty cycle. In the Rotor Inspection Interval
section, a method will be described to determine a maintenance
factor that is specific to the operation’s duty cycle. The application’s
integrated maintenance factor uses the rotor maintenance factors
described above in combination with the actual duty cycle of a
specific application and can be used to determine rotor inspection
intervals. In this calculation, the reference duty cycle that yields
a starts-based maintenance factor equal to one is defined in
Figure 24. Duty cycles different from the Figure 24 definition,
in particular duty cycles with more cold starts or a high number
of trips, will have a maintenance factor greater than one.
Turning gear or ratchet operation after shutdown and before
starting/restarting is a crucial part of normal operating procedure.
After a shutdown, turning of the warm rotor is essential to avoid
bow, or bend, in the rotor. Initiating a start with the rotor in a
bowed condition could lead to high vibrations and excessive rubs.
GE Power & Water | GER-3620M (02/15) 15
Figure F-1 describes turning gear/ratchet scenarios and operation
guidelines (See Appendix). Relevant operating instructions and
TILs should be adhered to where applicable. As a best practice,
units should remain on turning gear or ratchet following a planned
shutdown until wheelspace temperatures have stabilized at or
near ambient temperature. If the unit is to see no further activity
for 48 hours after cool-down is completed, then it may be taken
off of turning gear.
Figure F-1 also provides guidelines for hot restarts. When an
immediate restart is required, it is recommended that the rotor
be placed on turning gear for one hour following a trip from load,
trip from full speed no load, or normal shutdown. This will allow
transient thermal stresses to subside before superimposing a
startup transient. If the machine must be restarted in less than
one hour, a start factor of 2 will apply.
Longer periods of turning gear operation may be necessary prior to
a cold start or hot restart if bow is detected. Vibration data taken
while at crank speed can be used to confirm that rotor bow is at
acceptable levels and the start sequence can be initiated. Users
should reference the O&M Manual and appropriate TILs for specific
instructions and information for their units.
Combustion PartsA typical combustion system contains transition pieces,
combustion liners, flow sleeves, head-end assemblies containing
fuel nozzles and cartridges, end caps and end covers, and assorted
other hardware including cross-fire tubes, spark plugs and flame
detectors. In addition, there can be various fuel and air delivery
components such as purge or check valves and flex hoses. GE
provides several types of combustion systems including standard
combustors, Multi-Nozzle Quiet Combustors (MNQC), Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) combustors, and Dry Low NOx
(DLN) combustors. Each of these combustion systems has unique
operating characteristics and modes of operation with differing
responses to operational variables affecting maintenance and
refurbishment requirements.
DLN combustion systems use various combustion modes to reach
base load operation. The system transfers from one combustion
mode to the next when the combustion reference temperature
increases to the required value, or transfer temperature, for the
next mode.

• Continuous mode operation is defined as operation in a
combustion mode for longer than what is required during normal
startup/shutdown.
• Extended mode operation is defined as operation in a
combustion mode at a firing temperature greater than the
transfer temperature to the next combustion mode.
The DLN combustion mode recommended for continuous mode
operation is the premixed combustion mode (PM), as it achieves
lowest possible emissions and maximum possible part life.
Continuous and extended mode operation in non-PM combustion
modes is not recommended due to its effect on combustion
hardware life as shown in Figure 25. The use of non-PM combustion
modes has the following effects on maintenance:
• DLN-1/DLN-1+ extended lean-lean operation results in a
maintenance factor of 10 (excluding Frame 5 units where MF=2).
• DLN 2.0/DLN 2+ extended piloted premixed operation results in a
maintenance factor of 10.
• Continuous mode operation in lean-lean (L-L), sub-piloted
premixed (sPPM), or piloted premixed (PPM) modes is not
recommended as it will accelerate combustion hardware
degradation.
• In addition, cyclic operation between piloted premixed and
premixed modes leads to thermal loads on the combustion liner
and transition piece similar to the loads encountered during the
startup/shutdown cycle.
Figure 25 . DLN combustion mode effect on combustion hardware life
Continuous mode operation of DLN 2.6/DLN 2.6+ combustors will
not accelerate combustion hardware degradation.
Another factor that can affect combustion system maintenance
is acoustic dynamics. Acoustic dynamics are pressure oscillations
generated by the combustion system, which, if high enough
in magnitude, can lead to significant wear and cracking of
combustion or hot gas path components. GE practice is to

tune the combustion system to levels of acoustic dynamics low
enough to ensure that the maintenance practices described here
are not compromised. In addition, GE encourages monitoring of
combustion dynamics during turbine operation throughout the
full range of ambient temperatures and loads.
Combustion disassembly is performed, during scheduled
combustion inspections (CI). Inspection interval guidelines are
included in Figure 39. It is expected, and recommended, that
intervals be modified based on specific experience. Replacement
intervals are usually defined by a recommended number of
combustion (or repair) intervals and are usually combustion
component specific. In general, the replacement interval as a
function of the number of combustion inspection intervals is
reduced if the combustion inspection interval is extended. For
example, a component having an 8,000-hour CI interval, and a
six CI replacement interval, would have a replacement interval of
four CI intervals if the inspection interval were increased to 12,000
hours (to maintain a 48,000-hour replacement interval).
For combustion parts, the baseline operating conditions that result
in a maintenance factor of one are fired startup and shutdown to
base load on natural gas fuel without steam or water injection.
Factors that increase the hours-based maintenance factor include
peak load operation, distillate or heavy fuels, and steam or water
injection. Factors that increase starts-based maintenance factor
include peak load start/stop cycles, distillate or heavy fuels, steam
or water injection, trips, and peaking-fast starts.
Casing PartsMost GE gas turbines have inlet, compressor, compressor
discharge, and turbine cases in addition to exhaust frames. Inner
barrels are typically attached to the compressor discharge case.
These cases provide the primary support for the bearings, rotor,
and gas path hardware.
The exterior of all casings should be visually inspected for cracking,
loose hardware, and casing slippage at each combustion, hot
gas path, and major outage. The interior of all casings should
be inspected whenever possible. The level of the outage
determines which casing interiors are accessible for visual
inspection. Borescope inspections are recommended for the
inlet cases, compressor cases, and compressor discharge cases
GE Power & Water | GER-3620M (02/15) 17
during gas path borescope inspections. All interior case surfaces
should be visually inspected during a major outage.
Key inspection areas for casings are listed below.
• Bolt holes
• Shroud pin and borescope holes in the turbine shell (case)
• Compressor stator hooks
• Turbine shell shroud hooks
• Compressor discharge case struts
• Inner barrel and inner barrel bolts
• Inlet case bearing surfaces and hooks
• Inlet case and exhaust frame gibs and trunions
• Extraction manifolds (for foreign objects)
Exhaust Diffuser PartsGE exhaust diffusers come in either axial or radial configurations
as shown in Figures 26 and 27 below. Both types of diffusers are
composed of a forward and aft section. Forward diffusers are
normally axial diffusers, while aft diffusers can be either axial or
radial. Axial diffusers are used in the F-class gas turbines, while
radial diffusers are used in B/E-class gas turbines.
Exhaust diffusers are subject to high gas path temperatures and
vibration due to normal gas turbine operation. Because of the
extreme operating environment and cyclic operating nature of
gas turbines, exhaust diffusers may develop cracks in the sheet
metal surfaces and weld joints used for diffuser construction.
Additionally, erosion may occur due to extended operation at high
temperatures. Exhaust diffusers should be inspected for cracking
and erosion at every combustion, hot gas path and major outage.
In addition, flex seals, L-seals, and horizontal joint gaskets should
be visually/borescope inspected for signs of wear or damage
at every combustion, hot gas path, and major outage. GE
recommends that seals with signs of wear or damage be replaced.
To summarize, key areas that should be inspected are listed below.
Any damage should be reported to GE for recommended repairs.
• Forward diffuser carrier flange (6F)
• Diffuser strut airfoil leading and trailing edges
• Turning vanes in radial diffusers (B/E-class)
• Insulation packs on interior or exterior surfaces
• Clamp ring attachment points to exhaust frame
(major outage only)
• Flex seals and L-seals
• Horizontal joint gaskets
Off-Frequency OperationGE heavy-duty single shaft gas turbines are engineered to operate
at 100% speed with the capability to operate over a 95% to
105% speed range. Operation at other than rated speed has the
potential to affect maintenance requirements. Depending on the
industry code requirements, the specifics of the turbine design,
and the turbine control philosophy employed, operating conditions
can result that will accelerate life consumption of gas turbine
components, particularly rotating flowpath hardware. Where this
is true, the maintenance factor associated with this operation must
be understood. These off-frequency events must be analyzed and
recorded in order to include them in the maintenance plan for the
gas turbine.

Some turbines are required to meet operational requirements
that are aimed at maintaining grid stability under sudden load
or capacity changes. Most codes require turbines to remain on
line in the event of a frequency disturbance. For under-frequency
operation, the turbine output may decrease with a speed decrease,
and the net effect on the turbine is minimal.
In some cases of under-frequency operation, turbine output must
be increased in order to meet the specification-defined output
requirement. If the normal output fall-off with speed results in loads
less than the defined minimum, the turbine must compensate.
Turbine overfiring is the most obvious compensation option, but
other means, such as water-wash, inlet fogging, or evaporative
cooling also provide potential means for compensation. A
maintenance factor may need to be applied for some of these
methods. In addition, off-frequency operation, including rapid grid
transients, may expose the blading to excitations that could result in
blade resonant response and reduced fatigue life.
It is important to understand that operation at over-frequency
conditions will not trade one-for-one for periods at under-
frequency conditions. As was discussed in the firing temperature
section above, operation at peak firing conditions has a nonlinear,
logarithmic relationship with maintenance factor.
Over-frequency or high speed operation can also introduce
conditions that affect turbine maintenance and part replacement
intervals. If speed is increased above the nominal rated speed,
the rotating components see an increase in mechanical stress
proportional to the square of the speed increase. If firing
temperature is held constant at the overspeed condition, the
life consumption rate of hot gas path rotating components will
increase as illustrated in Figure 28 where one hour of operation at
105% speed is equivalent to two hours at rated speed.
If overspeed operation represents a small fraction of a turbine’s
operating profile, this effect on parts life can sometimes be
ignored. However, if significant operation at overspeed is expected
and rated firing temperature is maintained, the accumulated hours
must be recorded and included in the calculation of the turbine’s
overall maintenance factor and the maintenance schedule
adjusted to reflect the overspeed operation.
Compressor Condition and PerformanceMaintenance and operating costs are also influenced by the quality
of the air that the turbine consumes. In addition to the negative
effects of airborne contaminants on hot gas path components,
contaminants such as dust, salt, and oil can cause compressor
blade erosion, corrosion, and fouling.
Fouling can be caused by submicron dirt particles entering the
compressor as well as from ingestion of oil vapor, smoke, sea salt,
and industrial vapors. Corrosion of compressor blading causes
pitting of the blade surface, which, in addition to increasing the
surface roughness, also serves as potential sites for fatigue crack
initiation. These surface roughness and blade contour changes
will decrease compressor airflow and efficiency, which in turn
reduces the gas turbine output and overall thermal efficiency.
Generally, axial flow compressor deterioration is the major cause
of loss in gas turbine output and efficiency. Recoverable losses,
attributable to compressor blade fouling, typically account for
70-85% percent of the performance losses seen. As Figure 29
illustrates, compressor fouling to the extent that airflow is
reduced by 5%, will reduce output by up to 8% and increase heat
rate by up to 3%. Fortunately, much can be done through proper
operation and maintenance procedures both to minimize fouling
type losses and to limit the deposit of corrosive elements. On-line
compressor wash systems are available to maintain compressor
efficiency by washing the compressor while at load, before
significant fouling has occurred. Off-line compressor wash
systems are used to clean heavily fouled compressors. Other
procedures include maintaining the inlet filtration system, inlet

evaporative coolers, and other inlet systems as well as periodic
inspection and prompt repair of compressor blading. Refer to
system-specific maintenance manuals.
There are also non-recoverable losses. In the compressor, these are
typically caused by nondeposit-related blade surface roughness,
erosion, and blade tip rubs. In the turbine, nozzle throat area
changes, bucket tip clearance increases and leakages are potential
causes. Some degree of unrecoverable performance degradation
should be expected, even on a well-maintained gas turbine. The
owner, by regularly monitoring and recording unit performance
parameters, has a very valuable tool for diagnosing possible
compressor deterioration.
Lube Oil CleanlinessContaminated or deteriorated lube oil can cause wear and damage
to bearing liners. This can lead to extended outages and costly
repairs. Routine sampling of the turbine lube oil for proper viscosity,
chemical composition, and contamination is an essential part of a
complete maintenance plan.
Lube oil should be sampled and tested per GEK-32568, “Lubricating
Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines with Bearing Ambients
Above 500°F (260°C).” Additionally, lube oil should be checked
periodically for particulate and water contamination as outlined
in GEK-110483, “Cleanliness Requirements for Power Plant
Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance.” At a minimum,
the lube oil should be sampled on a quarterly basis; however,
monthly sampling is recommended.
Moisture IntakeOne of the ways some users increase turbine output is through
the use of inlet foggers. Foggers inject a large amount of moisture
in the inlet ducting, exposing the forward stages of the compressor
to potential water carry-over. Operation of a compressor in such
an environment may lead to long-term degradation of the
compressor due to corrosion, erosion, fouling, and material
property degradation. Experience has shown that depending on
the quality of water used, the inlet silencer and ducting material,
and the condition of the inlet silencer, fouling of the compressor
can be severe with inlet foggers. Similarly, carryover from
evaporative coolers and water washing more than recommended
can degrade the compressor. Figure 30 shows the long-term
material property degradation resulting from operating the
compressor in a wet environment. The water quality standard
that should be adhered to is found in GEK-101944, “Requirements
for Water/Steam Purity in Gas Turbines.”
For turbines with AISI 403 stainless steel compressor blades, the
presence of water carry-over will reduce blade fatigue strength
by as much as 30% and increase the crack propagation rate in
a blade if a flaw is present. The carry-over also subjects the
blades to corrosion. Such corrosion may be accelerated by a
saline environment (see GER-3419). Further reductions in fatigue
strength will result if the environment is acidic and if pitting is
present on the blade. Pitting is corrosion-induced, and blades
with pitting can see material strength reduced to 40% of its
original value. This condition is exacerbated by downtime in
humid environments, which promotes wet corrosion.

Uncoated GTD-450™ material is relatively resistant to corrosion
while uncoated AISI 403 is more susceptible. Relative susceptibility
of various compressor blade materials and coatings is shown in
Figure 31. As noted in GER-3569, aluminum-based (Al) coatings are
susceptible to erosion damage leading to unprotected sections
of the blade. Because of this, the GECC-1™ coating was created
to combine the effects of an Al coating to prevent corrosion and
a ceramic topcoat to prevent erosion. Water droplets will cause
leading edge erosion on the first few stages of the compressor. This
erosion, if sufficiently developed, may lead to an increased risk of
blade failure.
Utilization of inlet fogging or evaporative cooling may also
introduce water carry-over or water ingestion into the compressor,
resulting in blade erosion. Although the design intent of evaporative
coolers and inlet foggers is to fully vaporize all cooling water
prior to its ingestion into the compressor, evidence suggests that,
on systems that are not properly commissioned, maintained, or
operated, the water may not be fully vaporized. This can be seen
by streaking discoloration on the inlet duct or bell mouth. If this is
the case, additional inspections and maintenance are required, as
presented in applicable TILs and GEKs.
Maintenance InspectionsMaintenance inspection types may be broadly classified as
standby, running, and disassembly inspections. The standby
inspection is performed during off-peak periods when the unit is
not operating and includes routine servicing of accessory systems
and device calibration. The running inspection is performed by
observing key operating parameters while the turbine is running.
The disassembly inspection requires opening the turbine for
inspection of internal components. Disassembly inspections
progress from the combustion inspection to the hot gas path
inspection to the major inspection as shown in Figure 32.
Details of each of these inspections are described below.
Standby InspectionsStandby inspections are performed on all gas turbines but
pertain particularly to gas turbines used in peaking and
intermittent-duty service where starting reliability is of primary
concern. This inspection includes routinely servicing the battery
system, changing filters, checking oil and water levels, cleaning
relays, and checking device calibrations. Servicing can be
performed in off-peak periods without interrupting the
availability of the turbine. A periodic startup test run is an
essential part of the standby inspection.
The O&M Manual, as well as the Service Manual Instruction
Books, contains information and drawings necessary to
perform these periodic checks. Among the most useful
drawings in the Service Manual Instruction Books for standby
maintenance are the control specifications, piping schematics,
and electrical elementaries. These drawings provide the
calibrations, operating limits, operating characteristics, and
sequencing of all control devices. This information should be
used regularly by operating and maintenance personnel.
Careful adherence to minor standby inspection maintenance
can have a significant effect on reducing overall maintenance
costs and maintaining high turbine reliability. It is essential that
a good record be kept of all inspections and maintenance work
in order to ensure a sound maintenance program.
Running InspectionsRunning inspections consist of the general and continued
observations made while a unit is operating. This starts by
establishing baseline operating data during startup of a new
unit and after any major disassembly work. This baseline then
serves as a reference from which subsequent unit deterioration
can be measured.
Data should be taken to establish normal equipment startup
parameters as well as key steady state operating parameters.
Steady state is defined as conditions at which no more than
a 5°F/3°C change in wheelspace temperature occurs over a

15-minute time period. Data must be taken at regular intervals
and should be recorded to permit an evaluation of the turbine
performance and maintenance requirements as a function of
operating time. This operating inspection data, summarized in
Figure 33, includes: load versus exhaust temperature, vibration
level, fuel flow and pressure, bearing metal temperature, lube
oil pressure, exhaust gas temperatures, exhaust temperature
spread variation, startup time, and coast-down time. This list
is only a minimum and other parameters should be used as
necessary. A graph of these parameters will help provide a basis
for judging the conditions of the system. Deviations from the
norm help pinpoint impending issues, changes in calibration, or
damaged components.
A sudden abnormal change in running conditions or a severe trip
event could indicate damage to internal components. Conditions
that may indicate turbine damage include high vibration, high
exhaust temperature spreads, compressor surge, abnormal
changes in health monitoring systems, and abnormal changes
in other monitoring systems. It is recommended to conduct a
borescope inspection after such events whenever component
damage is suspected.

Load vs. Exhaust Temperature
The general relationship between load and exhaust temperature
should be observed and compared to previous data. Ambient
temperature and barometric pressure will have some effect
upon the exhaust temperature. High exhaust temperature can
be an indicator of deterioration of internal parts, excessive leaks
or a fouled air compressor. For mechanical drive applications,
it may also be an indication of increased power required by
the driven equipment.
Vibration Level
The vibration signature of the unit should be observed and
recorded. Minor changes will occur with changes in operating
conditions. However, large changes or a continuously increasing
trend give indications of the need to apply corrective action.
Fuel Flow and Pressure
The fuel system should be observed for the general fuel flow
versus load relationship. Fuel pressures through the system
should be observed. Changes in fuel pressure can indicate that
the fuel nozzle passages are plugged or that fuel-metering
elements are damaged or out of calibration.
Exhaust Temperature and Spread Variation
The most important control function to be monitored is the
exhaust temperature fuel override system and the back-up over
temperature trip system. Routine verification of the operation
and calibration of these functions will minimize wear on the
hot gas path parts.
Startup Time
Startup time is a reference against which subsequent operating
parameters can be compared and evaluated. A curve of the
starting parameters of speed, fuel signal, exhaust temperature,
and critical sequence bench marks versus time will provide a good
indication of the condition of the control system. Deviations from
normal conditions may indicate impending issues, changes in
calibration, or damaged components.
Coast-Down Time
Coast-down time is an indicator of bearing alignment and bearing
condition. The time period from when the fuel is shut off during a
normal shutdown until the rotor comes to turning gear speed can
be compared and evaluated.
Close observation and monitoring of these operating parameters
will serve as the basis for effectively planning maintenance
work and material requirements needed for subsequent
shutdown periods.
Rapid Cool-DownPrior to an inspection, a common practice is to force cool the unit
to speed the cool-down process and shorten outage time. Force
cooling involves turning the unit at crank speed for an extended
period of time to continue flowing ambient air through the
machine. This is permitted, although a natural cool-down cycle
on turning gear or ratchet is preferred for normal shutdowns
when no outage is pending.
Forced cooling should be limited since it imposes additional
thermal stresses on the unit that may result in a reduction of
parts life.
Opening the compartment doors during any cool-down
operation is prohibited unless an emergency situation requires
immediate compartment inspection. Cool-down times should not
be accelerated by opening the compartment doors or lagging
panels, since uneven cooling of the outer casings may result in
excessive case distortion and heavy blade rubs.
Combustion InspectionThe combustion inspection is a relatively short disassembly
inspection of fuel nozzles, liners, transition pieces, crossfire
tubes and retainers, spark plug assemblies, flame detectors,
and combustor flow sleeves. This inspection concentrates on the
combustion liners, transition pieces, fuel nozzles, and end caps,
which are recognized as being the first to require replacement
and repair in a good maintenance program. Proper inspection,
maintenance, and repair (Figure 34) of these items will contribute
to a longer life of the downstream parts, such as turbine nozzles
and buckets.
Figure 32 illustrates the section of a 7E.03 unit that is disassembled
for a combustion inspection. The combustion liners, transition
pieces, and fuel nozzle assemblies should be removed and
replaced with new or repaired components to minimize downtime.
The removed liners, transition pieces, and fuel nozzles can then be
cleaned and repaired after the unit is returned to operation and
be available for the next combustion inspection interval. Typical
combustion inspection requirements are:
GE Power & Water | GER-3620M (02/15) 23
• Inspect combustion chamber components.
• Inspect each crossfire tube, retainer and combustion liner.
• Inspect combustion liner for TBC spalling, wear, and cracks.
• Inspect combustion system and discharge casing for debris and
foreign objects.
• Inspect flow sleeve welds for cracking.
• Inspect transition piece for wear and cracks.
• Inspect fuel nozzles for plugging at tips, erosion of tip holes, and
safety lock of tips.
• Inspect impingement sleeves for cracks (where applicable).
• Inspect all fluid, air, and gas passages in nozzle assembly for
plugging, erosion, burning, etc.
• Inspect spark plug assembly for freedom from binding; check
condition of electrodes and insulators.
• Replace all consumables and normal wear-and-tear items such
as seals, lockplates, nuts, bolts, gaskets, etc.
• Perform visual inspection of first-stage turbine nozzle partitions
and borescope inspect (Figure 3) turbine buckets to mark the
progress of wear and deterioration of these parts. This inspection
will help establish the schedule for the hot gas path inspection.
• Perform borescope inspection of compressor.

• Visually inspect the compressor inlet, checking the condition
of the inlet guide vanes (IGVs), IGV bushings, and first stage
rotating blades.
• Check the condition of IGV actuators and rack-and-pinion gearing.
• Verify the calibration of the IGVs.
• Visually inspect compressor discharge case struts for signs
of cracking.
• Visually inspect compressor discharge case inner barrel
if accessible.
• Visually inspect the last-stage buckets and shrouds.
• Visually inspect the exhaust diffuser for any cracks in flow
path surfaces. Inspect insulated surfaces for loose or missing
insulation and/or attachment hardware in internal and external
locations. In B/E-class machines, inspect the insulation on the
radial diffuser and inside the exhaust plenum as well.
• Inspect exhaust frame flex seals, L-seals, and horizontal joint
gaskets for any signs of wear or damage.
• Verify proper operation of purge and check valves. Confirm
proper setting and calibration of the combustion controls.
• Inspect turbine inlet systems including filters, evaporative
coolers, silencers, etc. for corrosion, cracks, and loose parts.
After the combustion inspection is complete and the unit is
returned to service, the removed combustion hardware can
be inspected by a qualified GE field service representative and,
if necessary, sent to a qualified GE Service Center for repairs.
It is recommended that repairs and fuel nozzle flow testing be
performed at qualified GE service centers.
See the O&M Manual for additional recommendations and unit
specific guidance.
Hot Gas Path InspectionThe purpose of a hot gas path inspection is to examine those parts
exposed to high temperatures from the hot gases discharged from
the combustion process. The hot gas path inspection outlined
in Figure 35 includes the full scope of the combustion inspection
and, in addition, a detailed inspection of the turbine nozzles,

stator shrouds, and turbine buckets. To perform this inspection,
the top half of the turbine shell must be removed. Prior to shell
removal, proper machine centerline support using mechanical
jacks is necessary to assure proper alignment of rotor to stator,
obtain accurate half-shell clearances, and prevent twisting of
the stator casings. Reference the O&M Manual for unit-specific
jacking procedures.
Special inspection procedures apply to specific components
in order to ensure that parts meet their intended life. These
inspections may include, but are not limited to, dimensional
inspections, Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), Eddy Current
Inspection (ECI), and other forms of non-destructive testing (NDT).
The type of inspection required for specific hardware is determined
on a part number and operational history basis, and can be
obtained from a GE service representative.
Similarly, repair action is taken on the basis of part number, unit
operational history, and part condition. Repairs including (but not
limited to) strip, chemical clean, HIP (Hot Isostatic Processing),
heat treat, and recoat may also be necessary to ensure full parts
life. Weld repair will be recommended when necessary, typically
as determined by visual inspection and NDT. Failure to perform
the required repairs may lead to retirement of the part before
its life potential is fulfilled. In contrast, unnecessary repairs are
an unneeded expenditure of time and resources. To verify the
types of inspection and repair required, contact your GE service
representative prior to an outage.
For inspection of the hot gas path (Figure 32), all combustion
transition pieces and the first-stage turbine nozzle assemblies must
be removed. Removal of the second- and third-stage turbine nozzle
segment assemblies is optional, depending upon the results of
visual observations, clearance measurements, and other required
inspections. The buckets can usually be inspected in place. FPI of
the bucket vane sections may be required to detect any cracks.
In addition, a complete set of internal turbine radial and axial
clearances (opening and closing) must be taken during any hot
gas path inspection. Re-assembly must meet clearance diagram
requirements to prevent rubs and to maintain unit performance.
In addition to combustion inspection requirements, typical hot gas
path inspection requirements are:
• Inspect and record condition of first-, second-, and third-stage
buckets. If it is determined that the turbine buckets should
be removed, follow bucket removal and condition recording
instructions. Buckets with protective coating should be
evaluated for remaining coating life.
• Inspect and record condition of first-, second-, and
third-stage nozzles.
• Inspect seals and hook fits of turbine nozzles and diaphragms
for rubs, erosion, fretting, or thermal deterioration.
• Inspect and record condition of later-stage nozzle
diaphragm packings.
• Check discourager seals for rubs, and deterioration
of clearance.
• Record the bucket tip clearances.
• Inspect bucket shank seals for clearance, rubs, and deterioration.
• Perform inspections on cutter teeth of tip-shrouded buckets.
Consider refurbishment of buckets with worn cutter teeth,
particularly if concurrently refurbishing the honeycomb of the
corresponding stationary shrouds. Consult your GE service
representative to confirm that the bucket under consideration
is repairable.
• Check the turbine stationary shrouds for clearance, cracking,
erosion, oxidation, rubbing, and build-up of debris.
• Inspect turbine rotor for cracks, object damage, or rubs.
• Check and replace any faulty wheelspace thermocouples.
• Perform borescope inspection of the compressor.
• Visually inspect the turbine shell shroud hooks for signs
of cracking.
The first-stage turbine nozzle assembly is exposed to the direct hot
gas discharge from the combustion process and is subjected to the
highest gas temperatures in the turbine section. Such conditions
frequently cause nozzle cracking and oxidation, and in fact, this
is expected. The second- and third-stage nozzles are exposed to
high gas bending loads, which in combination with the operating
temperatures can lead to downstream deflection and closure
of critical axial clearances. To a degree, nozzle distress can be
tolerated, and criteria have been established for determining when
repair is required. More common criteria are described in the O&M
Manuals. However, as a general rule, first-stage nozzles will require
26
repair at the hot gas path inspection. The second- and third-stage
nozzles may require refurbishment to re-establish the proper axial
clearances. Normally, turbine nozzles can be repaired several
times, and it is generally repair cost versus replacement cost that
dictates the replacement decision.
Coatings play a critical role in protecting the buckets operating
at high metal temperatures. They ensure that the full capability
of the high strength superalloy is maintained and that the bucket
rupture life meets design expectations. This is particularly true
of cooled bucket designs that operate above 1985°F (1085°C)
firing temperature. Significant exposure of the base metal to
the environment will accelerate the creep rate and can lead to
premature replacement through a combination of increased
temperature and stress and a reduction in material strength,
as described in Figure 36. This degradation process is driven by
oxidation of the unprotected base alloy. On early generation
uncooled designs, surface degradation due to corrosion or
oxidation was considered to be a performance issue and not a
factor in bucket life. This is no longer the case at the higher firing
temperatures of current generation designs.
Given the importance of coatings, it must be recognized that even
the best coatings available will have a finite life, and the condition
of the coating will play a major role in determining bucket life.
Refurbishment through stripping and recoating is an option for
achieving bucket’s expected/design life, but if recoating is selected,
it should be done before the coating is breached to expose base
metal. Normally, for 7E.03 turbines, this means that recoating
will be required at the hot gas path inspection. If recoating is not
performed at the hot gas path inspection, the life of the buckets
would generally be one additional hot gas path inspection interval,
at which point the buckets would be replaced. For F-class gas
turbines, recoating of the first stage buckets is recommended at
each hot gas path inspection. Visual and borescope examination
of the hot gas path parts during the combustion inspections as
well as nozzle-deflection measurements will allow the operator
to monitor distress patterns and progression. This makes part-
life predictions more accurate and allows adequate time to plan
for replacement or refurbishment at the time of the hot gas path
inspection. It is important to recognize that to avoid extending the
hot gas path inspection, the necessary spare parts should be on
site prior to taking the unit out of service.
See the O&M Manual for additional recommendations and unit
specific guidance.
Major InspectionThe purpose of the major inspection is to examine all of the internal
rotating and stationary components from the inlet of the machine
through the exhaust. A major inspection should be scheduled in
accordance with the recommendations in the owner’s O&M Manual
or as modified by the results of previous borescope and hot gas
path inspections. The work scope shown in Figure 37 involves

inspection of all of the major flange-to-flange components of
the gas turbine, which are subject to deterioration during normal
turbine operation. This inspection includes previous elements of the
combustion and hot gas path inspections, and requires laying open
the complete flange-to-flange gas turbine to the horizontal joints,
as shown in Figure 32.
Removal of all of the upper casings allows access to the
compressor rotor and stationary compressor blading, as well as
to the bearing assemblies. Prior to removing casings, shells, and
frames, the unit must be properly supported. Proper centerline
support using mechanical jacks and jacking sequence procedures
are necessary to assure proper alignment of rotor to stator, obtain
accurate half shell clearances, and to prevent twisting of the
casings while on the half shell. Reference the O&M Manual for
unit-specific jacking procedures. In addition to combustion and
hot gas path inspection requirements, typical major inspection
requirements are:
• Check all radial and axial clearances against their original values
(opening and closing).
• Inspect all casings, shells, and frames/diffusers for cracks
and erosion.
• Inspect compressor inlet and compressor flow-path for fouling,
erosion, corrosion, and leakage.
• Check rotor and stator compressor blades for tip clearance,
rubs, object damage, corrosion pitting, and cracking.
• Remove turbine buckets and perform a nondestructive check
of buckets and wheel dovetails. Wheel dovetail fillets, pressure
faces, edges, and intersecting features must be closely examined
for conditions of wear, galling, cracking, or fretting.
• Inspect unit rotor for cracks, object damage, or rubs.
• Inspect bearing liners and seals for clearance and wear.

Comprehensive inspection and maintenance guidelines have been
developed by GE and are provided in the O&M Manual to assist
users in performing each of the inspections previously described.
Parts PlanningPrior to a scheduled disassembly inspection, adequate spares
should be on-site. Lack of adequate on-site spares can have
a major effect on plant availability. For example, a planned
outage such as a combustion inspection, which should only
take two to five days, could take weeks if adequate spares are
not on-site. GE will provide recommendations regarding the
types and quantities of spare parts needed; however, it is up
to the owner to purchase these spare parts on a planned basis
allowing adequate lead times.
Early identification of spare parts requirements ensures their
availability at the time the planned inspections are performed.
Refer to the Reference Drawing Manual provided as part of the
comprehensive set of O&M Manuals to aid in identification and
ordering of gas turbine parts.
Additional benefits available from the renewal parts catalog
data system are the capability to prepare recommended spare
parts lists for the combustion, hot gas path and major inspections
as well as capital and operational spares.
Estimated repair and replacement intervals for some of the
major components are shown in Appendix D. These tables assume
that operation, inspections, and repairs of the unit have been
done in accordance with all of the manufacturer’s specifications
and instructions.
The actual repair and replacement intervals for any particular
gas turbine should be based on the user’s operating procedures,
experience, maintenance practices, and repair practices. The
maintenance factors previously described can have a major effect
on both the component repair interval and service life. For this
reason, the intervals given in Appendix D should only be used
as guidelines and not certainties for long range parts planning.
Owners may want to include contingencies in their parts planning.
The estimated repair and replacement interval values reflect
current production hardware (the typical case) with design
improvements such as advanced coatings and cooling technology.
With earlier production hardware, some of these lives may not be
achievable. Operating factors and experience gained during the
course of recommended inspection and maintenance procedures
will be a more accurate predictor of the actual intervals.
The estimated repair and replacement intervals are based on
the recommended inspection intervals shown in Figure 39. For
certain models, technology upgrades are available that extend the
maintenance inspection intervals. The application of inspection (or
repair) intervals other than those shown in Figure 39 can result in
different replacement intervals than those shown in Appendix D.
See your GE service representative for details on a specific system.
It should be recognized that, in some cases, the service life of a
component is reached when it is no longer economical to repair
any deterioration as opposed to replacing at a fixed interval. This
is illustrated in Figure 38 for a first stage nozzle, where repairs
continue until either the nozzle cannot be restored to minimum
acceptance standards or the repair cost exceeds or approaches
the replacement cost. In other cases, such as first-stage buckets,
repair options are limited by factors such as irreversible material
damage. In both cases, users should follow GE recommendations
regarding replacement or repair of these components.
It should also be recognized that the life consumption of any one
individual part within a parts set can have variations. This may
lead to a certain percentage of “fallout,” or scrap, of parts being
repaired. Those parts that fallout during the repair process will
need to be replaced by new parts. Parts fallout will vary based on
the unit operating environment history, the specific part design,
and the current repair technology.

Note:
Baseline inspection intervals reflect current production hardware, unless otherwise noted, and operation in accordance with manufacturer specifications. They represent initial recommended intervals in the absence of operating and condition experience.

Inspection IntervalsIn the absence of operating experience and resulting part
conditions, Figure 39 lists the recommended combustion, hot
gas path and major inspection intervals for current production
GE turbines operating under typical conditions of natural gas fuel,
base load, and no water/steam injection. These recommended
intervals represent factored hours or starts calculated using
maintenance factors to account for application specific operating
conditions. Initially, recommended intervals are based on
the expected operation of a turbine at installation, but this
should be reviewed and adjusted as operating and maintenance
data are accumulated. While reductions in the recommended
intervals will result from the factors described previously or
unfavorable operating experience, increases in the recommended
intervals may also be considered where operating experience
has been favorable.
The condition of the combustion and hot gas path parts provides a
basis for customizing a program for inspection and maintenance.
The condition of the compressor and bearing assemblies is the
key driver in planning a major inspection. Historical operation
and machine conditions can be used to tailor maintenance
programs such as optimized repair and inspection criteria to
specific sites/machines. GE leverages these principles and
accumulated site and fleet experience in a “Condition Based
Maintenance” program as the basis for maintenance of units
under Contractual Service Agreements. This experience was
accumulated on units that operate with GE approved repairs,
field services, monitoring, and full compliance to GE’s technical
recommendations.
GE can assist operators in determining the appropriate
maintenance intervals for their particular application. Equations
have been developed that account for the factors described earlier
and can be used to determine application-specific combustion,
hot gas path, and major inspection intervals.
Borescope Inspection IntervalIn addition to the planned maintenance intervals, which
undertake scheduled inspections or component repairs or
replacements, borescope inspections should be conducted to
identify any additional actions, as discussed in the sections
“Gas Turbine Design Maintenance Features.” Such inspections
may identify additional areas to be addressed at a future
scheduled maintenance outage, assist with parts or resource
planning, or indicate the need to change the timing of a future
outage. The BI should use all the available access points to verify
the condition of the internal hardware. As much of the Major
Inspection workscope as possible should be done using this visual
inspection without dissassembly. Refer to Figure 4 for standard
recommended BI frequency. Specific concerns may warrant
subsequent BIs in order to operate the unit to the next scheduled
outage without teardown.
Combustion Inspection IntervalEquations have been developed that account for the earlier
mentioned factors affecting combustion maintenance intervals.
These equations represent a generic set of maintenance factors
that provide guidance on maintenance planning. As such, these
equations do not represent the specific capability of any given
combustion system. For combustion parts, the baseline operating
conditions that result in a maintenance factor of one are normal
fired startup and shutdown (no trip) to base load on natural gas
fuel without steam or water injection.
An hours-based combustion maintenance factor can be determined
from the equations given in Figure 40 as the ratio of factored hours
to actual operating hours. Factored hours considers the effects of
fuel type, load setting, and steam/water injection. Maintenance
factors greater than one reduce recommended combustion
inspection intervals from those shown in Figure 39 representing
baseline operating conditions. To obtain a recommended
inspection interval for a specific application, the maintenance
factor is divided into the recommended baseline inspection interval.
A starts-based combustion maintenance factor can be determined
from the equations given in Figure 41 and considers the effect of
fuel type, load setting, peaking-fast starts, trips, and steam/water
injection. An application-specific recommended inspection interval
can be determined from the baseline inspection interval in Figure 39
and the maintenance factor from Figure 41. Appendix B shows six
example maintenance factor calculations using the above hours
and starts maintenance factor equations.

Hot Gas Path Inspection IntervalThe hours-based hot gas path criterion is determined from the
equations given in Figure 42. With these equations, a maintenance
factor is determined that is the ratio of factored operating hours
and actual operating hours. The factored hours consider the
specifics of the duty cycle relating to fuel type, load setting and
steam or water injection. Maintenance factors greater than one
reduce the hot gas path inspection interval from the baseline
(typically 24,000 hour) case. To determine the application specific
maintenance interval, the maintenance factor is divided into the
baseline hot gas path inspection interval, as shown in Figure 42.
The starts-based hot gas path criterion is determined from the
equations given in Figure 43.
As previously described, the limiting criterion (hours or starts)
determines the maintenance interval. Examples of these equations
are in Appendix A.
Rotor Inspection IntervalLike hot gas path components, the unit rotor has a maintenance
interval involving removal, disassembly, and inspection. This
interval indicates the serviceable life of the rotor and is generally
considered to be the teardown inspection and repair/replacement
interval for the rotor. The disassembly inspection is usually
concurrent with a hot gas path or major inspection; however,
it should be noted that the maintenance factors for rotor
maintenance intervals are distinct from those of combustion and
hot gas path components. As such, the calculation of consumed
life on the rotor may vary from that of combustion and hot gas
path components. Customers should contact GE when their rotor is
approaching the end of its serviceable life for technical advisement.

Figure 44 describes the procedure to determine the hours-
based maintenance criterion. Peak load operation is the primary
maintenance factor for the F-class rotor and will act to increase
the hours-based maintenance factor and to reduce the rotor
maintenance interval. For B/E-class units time on turning gear also
affects rotor life.
The starts-based rotor maintenance interval is determined from the
equations given in Figure 45. Adjustments to the rotor maintenance
interval are determined from rotor-based operating factors as
described previously. In the calculation for the starts-based rotor
maintenance interval, equivalent starts are determined for cold,
warm, and hot starts over a defined time period by multiplying
the appropriate cold, warm, and hot start operating factors by the
number of cold, warm, and hot starts respectively. Additionally,
equivalent starts for trips from load are added. The total equivalent
starts are divided by the actual number of starts to yield the
maintenance factor. The rotor starts-based maintenance interval
is determined by dividing the baseline rotor maintenance interval
of 5000 starts by the calculated maintenance factor. The baseline
rotor maintenance interval is also the maximum interval, since
calculated maintenance factors less than one are not considered.
When the rotor reaches the earlier of the inspection intervals
described in Figures 44 and 45, an unstack of the rotor is required
so that a complete inspection of the rotor components in both
the compressor and turbine can be performed. It should be
expected that some rotor components will either have reached
the end of their serviceable life or will have a minimal amount of
residual life remaining and will require repair or replacement at this
inspection point. Depending on the extent of refurbishment and
part replacement, subsequent inspections may be required at a
reduced interval.

The baseline rotor life is predicated upon sound inspection results
at the major inspections. For F-class rotors the baseline intervals
are typically 144,000 hours and 5,000 starts. For rotors other than
F-class, the baseline intervals are typically 200,000 hours and
5,000 starts. Consult unit-specific documentation to determine if
alternate baseline intervals or maintenance factors may apply.
Personnel PlanningIt is essential that personnel planning be conducted prior to an
outage. It should be understood that a wide range of experience,
productivity, and working conditions exist around the world.
However, an estimate can be made based upon maintenance
inspection labor assumptions, such as the use of a crew of
workers with trade skill (but not necessarily direct gas turbine
experience), with all needed tools and replacement parts (no
repair time) available. These estimated craft labor hours should
include controls/accessories and the generator. In addition to
the craft labor, additional resources are needed for technical
direction, specialized tooling, engineering reports, and site
mobilization/demobilization.
Inspection frequencies and the amount of downtime varies
within the gas turbine fleet due to different duty cycles and the
economic need for a unit to be in a state of operational readiness.
Contact your local GE service representative for the estimated
labor hours and recommended crew size for your specific unit.
Depending upon the extent of work to be done during each
maintenance task, a cooldown period of 4 to 24 hours may be
required before service may be performed. This time can be
utilized productively for job move-in, correct tagging and locking
equipment out-of-service, and general work preparations. At the
conclusion of the maintenance work and systems check out, a
turning gear time of two to eight hours is normally allocated prior
to starting the unit. This time can be used for job clean-up and
preparing for start.
Local GE field service representatives are available to help plan
maintenance work to reduce downtime and labor costs. This
planned approach will outline the replacement parts that may be
needed and the projected work scope, showing which tasks can
be accomplished in parallel and which tasks must be sequential.
Planning techniques can be used to reduce maintenance cost by
optimizing lifting equipment schedules and labor requirements.
Precise estimates of the outage duration, resource requirements,
critical-path scheduling, recommended replacement parts, and
costs associated with the inspection of a specific installation may
be sourced from the local GE field services office.
ConclusionGE heavy-duty gas turbines are designed to have high availability.
To achieve maximum gas turbine availability, an owner must
understand not only the equipment but also the factors affecting
it. This includes the training of operating and maintenance
personnel, following the manufacturer’s recommendations, regular
periodic inspections, and the stocking of spare parts for immediate
replacement. The recording and analysis of operating data is also
essential to preventative and planned maintenance. A key factor
in achieving this goal is a commitment by the owner to provide
effective outage management, to follow published maintenance
instructions, and to utilize the available service support facilities.
It should be recognized that, while the manufacturer provides
general maintenance recommendations, it is the equipment
user who controls the maintenance and operation of equipment.
Inspection intervals for optimum turbine service are not fixed for
every installation but rather are developed based on operation
and experience. In addition, through application of a Contractual
Service Agreement to a particular turbine, GE can work with
a user to establish a maintenance program that may differ
from general recommendations but will be consistent with
contractual responsibilities.
The level and quality of a rigorous maintenance program have a
direct effect on equipment reliability and availability. Therefore,
a rigorous maintenance program that reduces costs and outage
time while improving reliability and earning ability is the optimum
GE gas turbine user solution.

AppendixA .1) Example 1 – Hot Gas Path Maintenance Interval CalculationA 7E.03 user has accumulated operating data since the last hot
gas path inspection and would like to estimate when the next
one should be scheduled. The user is aware from GE publications
that the baseline HGP interval is 24,000 hours if operating on
natural gas, with no water or steam injection, and at base load.
It is also understood that the baseline starts interval is 1200,
based on normal startups, no trips, no peaking-fast starts. The
actual operation of the unit since the last hot gas path inspection
is much different from the baseline case. The unit operates in four
different operating modes:
1. The unit runs 3200 hrs/yr in its first operating mode, which is
natural gas at base or part load with no steam/water injection.
2. The unit runs 350 hrs/yr in its second operating mode, which is
distillate fuel at base or part load with no steam/water injection.
3. The unit runs 120 hrs/yr in its third operating mode, which is
natural gas at peak load (+100°F) with no steam/water injection.
4. The unit runs 20 hrs/yr in its fourth operating mode, which is
natural gas at base load with 2.4% steam injection on a wet
control curve.
The hours-based hot gas path maintenance interval parameters
for these four operating modes are summarized below:
Operating Mode (i)
1 2 3 4
Fired hours (hrs/yr) t 3200 350 120 20
Fuel severity factor Af 1 1.5 1 1
Load severity factor Ap 1 1 [e (0.018*100)] = 6 1
Steam/water injection rate (%) I 0 0 0 2.4
For this particular unit, the second- and third-stage nozzles are
FSX-414 material. From Figure 42, at a steam injection rate of 2.4%
on a wet control curve,
M4 = 0.55, K4 = 1
The steam severity factor for mode 4 is therefore,
= S4 = K4 + (M4 ∙ I4) = 1 + (0.55 ∙ 2.4) = 2.3
At a steam injection rate of 0%,
M = 0, K = 1
Therefore, the steam severity factor for modes 1, 2, and 3 are
= S1 = S2 = S3 = K + (M ∙ I) = 1
From the hours-based criteria, the maintenance factor is
determined from Figure 42.
MF = 1.22
The hours-based adjusted inspection interval is therefore,
Adjusted Inspection Interval = 24,000/1.22 = 19,700 hours
[Note, since total annual operating hours is 3690, the estimated
time to reach 19,700 hours is 19,700/3690 = 5.3 years.]
Also, since the last hot gas path inspection the unit has averaged
145 normal start-stop cycles per year, 5 peaking-fast start cycles
per year, and 20 base load cycles ending in trips (aT = 8) per year.
The starts-based hot gas path maintenance interval parameters
for this unit are summarized below:
Normal cycles
Peaking starts, °F
Cycles ending in trip, T
Total
Part load cycles, NA 40 0 0 40
Base load cycles, NB 100 5 20 125
Peak load cycles, NP 5 0 0 5
From the starts-based criteria, the maintenance factor is
determined from Figure 43.
MF = 1.8
The adjusted inspection interval based on starts is
Adjusted Inspection Interval = 1200/1.8 = 667 starts
[Note, since the total annual number of starts is 170, the estimated
time to reach 667 starts is 667/170 = 3.9 years.]
In this case the unit would reach the starts-based hot gas path
interval prior to reaching the hours-based hot gas path interval.
The hot gas path inspection interval for this unit is therefore 667
starts (or 3.9 years).

A .2) Example 2 – Hot Gas Path Factored Starts CalculationA 7E.03 user has accumulated operating data for the past year of
operation. This data shows number of trips from part, base, and
peak load, as well as peaking-fast starts. The user would like to
calculate the total number of factored starts in order to plan the
next HGP outage. Figure 43 is used to calculate the total number of
factored starts as shown below.

INTRODUCTION This manual presents general information on the function, construction, control, operation, and
maintenance of the EnviroKinetics SCR systems at the xxx Combined Power Plant in xxx. This is not a
comprehensive manual and should be used in conjunction with other equipment manuals. When
interfacing with existing equipment, those respective manuals should be consulted as well.
BACKGROUND With the increased use of fossil fuels to generate electricity, Federal and Local Governments have
imposed regulations to limit nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from combustion equipment. The nitrogen
contained in fossil fuels combines with oxygen during combustion to create NOx. If released to the
atmosphere, the NOx (NO, NO2) combine with available oxygen and water to form nitric acid (HNO3). The
nitric acid returns to the earth in the form of acid rain, which is harmful to our environment. The xxx SCR
utilizes an EnviroKinetics Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to reduce NOx in the flue gas.
OPERATING THEORY The flue gas contains nitrogen oxides (NOx) that form during fuel combustion. These nitrogen oxides can
be converted to nitrogen gas and water vapor using ammonia and a catalyst. Ammonia (NH3) is injected
into the flue gas upstream of the catalyst through a special injection grid designed to promote even
ammonia distribution and mixing with the flue gas. The ammonia acts as a reducing agent as the flue gas
passes through the catalyst. The NOx (NO, NO2) contained in the flue gas is converted into N2 and H2O.
The fundamental chemical reactions are:
4 NO + 4 NH3 + O2 4 N2 + 6 H2O
6 NO2 + 8 NH3 7 N2 + 12 H2O
NO + NO2 + 2 NH3 2 N2 + 3 H2O
2
The catalyst is specifically selected for each unit’s flue gas composition and promotes the chemical
reaction.
Ammonia (NH3) is introduced into the flue gas upstream of the reactor through an injection grid. The grid
is designed to control the flow of ammonia to each region of the reactor to ensure that the ratio of NH3
and NOx is uniform at the catalyst inlet.

FLUE GAS FLOW PATH Flue gas enters the reactor over a range of temperatures from xxx °F to xxx °F. The flue gas travels
through the AIG and static mixers that are designed to provide optimal distribution of ammonia
throughout the reactor cross section. The ammonia-laden flue gas arrives at the catalyst where the NOx
reacts with ammonia as it passes through the catalyst. Additional heat is recovered from the flue gas
before being discharged to the stack. Instruments used for monitoring flue gas conditions include a
differential pressure transmitter for monitoring pressure drop across the catalyst and thermocouples at
the SCR inlet for monitoring flue gas temperature.
AMMONIA FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM The reaction chemistry of the SCR requires flow control of the ammonia reagent. This is achieved by the
Ammonia Flow Control Unit (AFCU) skid. The AFCU supplies a mixture of ammonia vapor and circulated
hot flue gas to the ammonia injection grid (AIG). The AFCU skid is shop-assembled, pre-piped, and pre-
wired. The skid is operated and controlled by the plant control system.
4
The AFCU has particular features that need to be noted.
Block and drain valves on the aqueous ammonia line to allow for isolation of the ammonia from
the HRSG during shutdown periods for maintenance of the NFPA 85 Purge Credit condition.
An electric heater for rapid starting of the SCR system is provided on the recirculated flue gas.
This locally-operated heater raises the temperature of the recirculated gas during start-up so that
the vaporizer can begin to operate as soon as the SCR catalyst flue gas temperature reaches
350°F. As the temperature of the recirculated flue gas increases during HRSG start-up, the output
of the electric heater will modulate down until the temperature of the incoming recirculated flue
gas exceeds the minimum normal catalyst operating temperature, at which point the heater will
shut off
A vaporizer tower, packed with heat and mass transfer media, provides for efficient vaporization
of the aqueous ammonia into vapor. Flue gas flows vertically up through the media with the
aqueous ammonia sprayed down into the media. The flow and temperature of the circulated flue
gas is enough to vaporize all of the ammonia required for the SCR operation.
Two 100% hot-gas recirculation fans have been provided on the skid that siphon hot flue gas
from the HRSG ducting for use in vaporizing the aqueous ammonia. These fans are provided with
manual, 98% shut-off dampers on their suction and discharge connections. The manual dampers
are for maintenance purposes only and need to remain open during operation to keep the stand-
by fan in a “ready-to-start” condition as automatic and remote fan switch over can occur during
unit operations. A 98% shut-off backdraft damper is provided on each fan discharge. This
intentionally allows some hot-gas to leak back into the fan housing to keep the stand-by fan
warm and ready for operation. Depending on plant operating practices, it may be preferable to
alternate which fan is in operation, but at a minimum each fan shaft needs to be rotated 180°
once per month if left idle.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for each of the dilution fans allow for fan speed to be
modulated to avoid excess velocity in the vaporizer (flooding) and to prevent the offline fan’s
impeller from remaining idle after a trip.
Ammonia is delivered to the AFCU, filtered, and metered by a flow meter that provides a feedback signal
to the ammonia flow control valve. The amount of ammonia required is determined by feedback from a
NOx analyzer on the stack.
Hot flue gas is circulated from the HRSG duct via the ammonia dilution fans. The fans discharge the flue
gas through the start-up heater and the vaporizer tower, and return it, with ammonia, to the AIG. The
fans are operated with constant output from the Variable Frequency Drive. As previously described, the
start-up heater is only intended to operate during the start-up period so that ammonia vapor can be
delivered when the temperature of the flue gas entering the SCR catalyst is at least 350 °F.
Ammonia is injected into the hot flue gas stream in the vaporizer where it is completely vaporized.
Instrumentation monitors the vaporizer for differential pressure and level. High differential pressure
5
indicates flooding (flue gas velocity too high). Liquid accumulation in the bottom of the tower, as
indicated by the level switch, indicates incomplete vaporization from over-injection or inadequate gas
circulation.
AMMONIA SUPPLY The aqueous ammonia liquid is fed to the AFCU via the ammonia supply line.
Reagent-grade 19% by weight aqueous ammonia of the following specification is required for this system:
Property Requirement
Ammonia Assay 19%
Appearance Colorless and free of suspended matter or sediment
Residue After Ignition < 0.002% weight
Total Non-Volatile Matter < 0.05% weight
Halides < 0.5 ppmw
Alkali Metals < 1.0 ppmw
Total Sulfur < 2.0 ppmw
Phosphates < 2.0 ppmw
Iron < 0.2 ppmw
Heavy Metals < 0.5 ppmw
Makeup Solution Demineralized or deionized water
MAJOR COMPONENTS The system can be divided into three major components:
1. Catalytic Reactor and Ductwork
2. Ammonia Supply System
3. Aqueous Ammonia Vaporization System
SCR REACTOR The SCR reactor utilizes one fixed catalyst bed, horizontal flow reactor with provision for a future 50%
catalyst bed.
The reactor assembly consists of a reinforced casing with structural supports designed for internal
pressure, seismic loading, wind loading, catalyst loading, and thermal stress (design by others). The
reactor housing has inside dimensions of approximately xxx ft tall x xxx ft wide and is constructed of
carbon steel plate. The reactor is insulated internally. An access opening for catalyst loading and removal
is located at the roof.
6
CATALYST The catalyst used for this reactor is highly reactive to NOx. The catalyst units are preassembled into
catalyst modules for ease of shipment and installation.
The total installed catalyst bed consists of xxx catalyst modules with a single layer cross-sectional
arrangement of xxx modules wide by xxx modules high. The catalyst bed is arranged for horizontal flow.
Dimension of each installed catalyst section is approximately xxx’ tall by xxx’ wide by xxx’ deep.
The catalyst should be kept as dry as possible during installation, storage or actual operation. Catalyst
wetting will result in a permanent decrease in catalyst activity and may void the catalyst warranty.
WARNING: The presence of some elements at some level of concentration on the surface of the catalyst
can poison the catalyst and cause permanent deterioration. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid
introducing the following compounds and elements into the flue gas stream ahead of the SCR.
Sodium Platinum
Potassium Palladium
Halogen Compounds Rhodium
Arsenic Ruthenium
Silicon Osmium
Iridium
CATALYST SAMPLES Catalyst can be sampled periodically to monitor catalyst performance. If a program is to be established, it
is recommended that the catalyst samples be tested at twelve month intervals to assure that the catalyst
is performing as expected and to help predict expected catalyst life and replacement time. If testing
shows an unusually high deactivation rate, a consequent investigation can determine the cause and
prevent premature replacement of catalyst.
AMMONIA INJECTION GRID There is one ammonia-air injection grid, originating at the vaporizer discharge on the AFCU. The
ammonia-air injection system is located upstream of the SCR and consists of a feed line that is external to
the ductwork, with a grid of injection pipes containing injection orifices located inside the ductwork (AIG).
Horizontal lances supply ammonia-air mixture to form the grid. The lances are grouped externally with
sub-headers, each with a balancing valve and flow indication. While these valves are intended to remain
fully open, they may be used to balance or adjust the ammonia distribution. These sub-headers are, in
turn, connected to the main header originating at the AFCU vaporizer.
7
MAINTENANCE The system shall be operated and maintained under a planned program of periodic inspection with the
accompanying repair and replacement of parts needed to achieve the maximum availability and reliability
of the system.
The inspection results and maintenance records should be compiled and be accessible at all times.
Results of these inspections are used to determine the necessity for equipment repair or replacement.
CATALYST MAINTENANCE Catalyst protection must be practiced constantly by maintenance personnel when inspecting or
servicing the reactor. Do not physically the catalyst directly during work inside the reactor as
catalyst damage may occur. Temporary scaffolding and footplates are required to avoid the
contact of any direct acting loads onto the catalyst modules or elements. As a precaution, a shield
shall be installed over the catalyst layer to protect the catalyst during maintenance work.
The catalyst must not be exposed to water or other moisture throughout all operating and
storage conditions to prevent catalyst deterioration. This problem can be easily prevented by
careful work and a daily check of the SCR system. All open inspection ports are to be shielded
from the rain.
Should rain enter through a cracked duct or open access door, dry the catalyst as soon as
possible. Flue gas water vapor during startup, shutdown and normal operations is not a concern.
Never wash the catalyst with water.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance of the equipment will keep the equipment in excellent condition and in service for
its intended use. All equipment shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Development of the practical maintenance program is to be based on the site and plant
conditions.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The following table is a recommended maintenance schedule based on typical operation. Detailed
maintenance procedures for each piece of equipment are available in the manufacturer's data books.
WARNING: Review all recommended safety practices before performing maintenance on any piece of
equipment.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Although catalyst deterioration has been taken into account in the design, it has been found that catalyst
activity deteriorates gradually with operation time. Initial deterioration that occurs within the first few
thousand operating hours after the first start-up is somewhat more rapid.
The cause of deterioration cannot be quantitatively determined due to several causes, such as:
Decrease of catalyst specific surface area due to sintering in elevated temperatures
Effects of catalyst poisons which are usually contained in flue gas
The impact of each factor is very small. Regardless, the deterioration rate will not change abruptly as long
as the operating conditions are constant.
The expected efficiency of the SCR system should be evaluated based upon the daily operating data,
periodic performance tests, and examination of the catalyst samples.
The following methods can be used to evaluate catalyst performance and estimate remaining catalyst life:
Evaluation of operating data
Periodic system efficiency tests
Analysis of catalyst samples
EVALUATION OF OPERATION DATA Evaluation of system performance is to be done by tracking key operating data on a regular basis. The
operating data at the design conditions are preferable for calculation of system efficiency. Any abnormal
occurrences (ex. process upsets or unit trips) should be recorded.
The following key operating data should be recorded on half-hourly (minimum) intervals. This data should
be stored and readily accessible throughout the warranty period.

PERIODIC EFFICIENCY TEST It is recommended to carry out system efficiency testing every 3,000 operating hours. The tendency of
efficiency change with operating time should be reviewed along with a complete evaluation of operating
data. Any abnormal trends or problems should be investigated.
ANALYSIS OF CATALYST SAMPLES Periodic testing can be performed on catalyst samples to help predict remaining catalyst life and
replacement time.
This periodic testing enables the supplier to more accurately define the extent of catalyst deterioration
during actual operation and to determine the required reactivation procedures.

1.3 Oxidation Catalyst
1.2.1 CO AND HC CATALYST REACTIONS
Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, in the presence of sufficient oxygen, are
oxidized over the catalyst to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor:
2CO + O2 ----> 2CO2
CH4 + 2O2 ----> CO2 + 2H2O
H2 + 2O2 ---->2H2O
1.4 Catalyst De Activation
A catalyst participates in and accelerates a chemical reaction, but remains unchanged when
the reaction is complete. In theory, a catalyst can have an infinite life, but in practice,
various factors contribute to eventual deactivation.
Johnson Matthey catalysts are formulated to provide maximum operating life for the fuel
compositions and containment levels expected.
Catalyst deactivation is caused by the physical and chemical interaction of the catalyst with
the gas stream.
1.4.1 Physical Deactivation
Physical deactivation can occur by thermal degradation of the catalyst or by fouling.
a. Catalyst Thermal Degradation
Thermal degradation of the catalyst is caused by sintering, i.e., the loss of active
catalyst surface area due to exposure to excessively high temperatures. Sintering
occurs when the heat of the gas stream causes the catalyst crystals to diffuse and
agglomerate within the wash-coat. This agglomeration reduces the active surface area.
b. Catalyst Fouling
Catalyst fouling or masking occurs when solid particulates from the gas stream adhere
to the catalyst surface, preventing the reactants from reaching the catalyst. The
severity of the fouling is dependent on both the nature and concentration of the
particulates in the individual gas stream. The loss of catalyst activity due to fouling
can usually be recovered by physically removing the fouling agent from the catalyst.
This is normally accomplished by cleaning procedures such as vacuuming or sweeping
the catalyst clean with compressed air. The optimum cleaning procedure and required
cleaning frequency will depend on the exact nature and concentration of the
particulates in the installation. Please consult with JM before attempting to clean the
catalyst.
NOTE: Every effort should be made to avoid silica contamination of the catalyst.
Silica is not volatile, and once deposited on the catalyst surface it may be
impossible to remove. If sufficient silica builds up, it will form a layer
which will prevent the gas stream from contacting active catalyst sites,
reducing catalyst performance.
1.4.2 CHEMICAL DEACTIVATION
Chemical deactivation is caused by poisoning.
a. When elements in the gas stream react with the catalyst causing a reduction in
catalytic activity, the catalyst is said to be poisoned.
It is usually not possible to recover lost activity from a catalyst which has
been poisoned. See Section 1.4 for a listing of materials which can cause
poisoning for oxidation catalyst.
The loss of catalytic activity due to poisoning occurs gradually over time as
poisons accumulate in the catalyst. The rate at which catalyst activity is lost
depends upon the concentration of the poison in the gas stream. Increasing
the inlet gas temperature during the life of the catalyst can compensate for
some loss of activity.
It is possible for catalyst poisons to form complexes with other elements in
the gas stream, thus reducing their tendency to poison the catalyst. For
example, lead and phosphorus in combination have much less effect on the
catalyst than either element separately. The presence of alkali metals and
alkaline earths is also very effective in reducing phosphorous poisoning.
The maximum permissible concentrations of contaminants are presented in
the Section 1.4 of this manual. To maintain catalyst warranties, these levels
must never be exceeded.
b. Catalyst Inhibition
Catalyst inhibition occurs when contaminant elements in the gas stream
chemically adhere to the catalyst causing a reduction in catalytic activity.
Sulfur dioxide and concentrations of halogenated compounds - such as fluoro-
hydrocarbons, chloro-hydrocarbons and brominated hydrocarbons - are all
catalyst inhibitors. Their molecules are relatively large, and when they adhere
to the catalyst molecules, they block the pollutants from reacting with the
catalyst. Catalyst inhibition can then be regarded as a chemical form of
masking.
Catalyst activity can usually be restored by eliminating the inhibitor from the
gas stream, by cycling the system at a higher temperature, or by a
combination of the two. Activity loss will occur rapidly when the catalyst is
exposed to a contaminated gas stream. This loss can be recovered by running
the system at an elevated temperature (typically 100oF/38°C above normal
operating temperature) for several hours. Please contact Johnson Matthey for
assistance with this procedure.
If SO2 and SO
3 are allowed to condense within the catalyst honeycomb
structure, sulfuric acid mist can form and corrode the catalyst support and
permanently lower activity.
1.5 Catalyst Operating Limits
1.5.1 OXIDATION CATALYST
Maximum continuous operating temperature: 750°F
Maximum intermittent operating temperature: (15 min/24 hrs) 850°F
Catalyst poisons:
Lead Arsenic Sodium Iron Silicon
Bismuth Antimony Potassium Chromium Sulfur
Mercury Phosphorus Copper Zinc
Calcium Magnesium Nickel Tin
The cumulative concentration of these poisons must not exceed 10 g/ft3.
Chlorinated compounds must not exceed 10 ppm. Silicon compounds must not be
present.
1.6 Catalyst Regeneration
The maintenance for typical catalyst installation will consist of:
1. Physical inspection every 3-6 months of operation.
2. Vacuuming as needed to remove ash build up and debris associated with increased
backpressure. Fouling, especially by particulates trapped from the gas stream, can
often be remedied by vacuuming the channels clear. This can be done with the
catalyst in place if there is sufficient access room. The air jet should be in the
direction opposite the normal flow through the catalyst.
Note: Johnson Matthey does not recommend blowing the catalyst clear with
compressed air as excessive pressure or contaminated air can cause irrevocable
damage to the catalyst.
3 Approved washing procedure as needed to maintain performance. See Appendix A.
Note: The maximum allowable number of washings is four (4) during the warranty
period of the catalyst.
1.7 Catalyst Testing
1.7.1 TEST CORES
Test cores enable Johnson Matthey to accurately monitor catalyst condition for
boiler operating fuels and operating temperature/flow conditions. This will allow
Johnson Matthey to accurately assess catalyst durability and performance, and to
report results to the customer.
The test samples are a 1" diameter cylinder cores of the catalyst taken in field from
the panel.
The test core location in the catalyst panel should be recorded along with the date
of the installation and site operating hours at the time of removal.
1.7.2. CORE REMOVAL SCHEDULE
It is recommended to test a core sample for catalyst activity after every 8,000 hours
of operation (during boiler shutdown periods):
1.8 Johnson Matthey Facilities
Johnson Matthey maintains complete physical facilities and has personnel experienced in
the analysis and evaluation of catalyst in all phases of catalyst technology. This ensures:
The selection of an optimum catalyst formulation for specific customer requirements.

1.8.1 CATALYST TESTING
Analytical Capability
- Atomic Absorption
- X-ray Fluorescence
- GYP Emission Spectrograph
- Wet Chemical Analysis
These tests are used to determine the concentration of active catalyst elements,
impurity levels, and poison accumulation levels in the catalysts.
Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive XRF
This test is used to examine catalyst at high magnification and discovers
changes in physical properties of the catalyst, determining the composition and
distribution of fouling particulates and inhibitors, and their effects.
Optical Microscope
This test is used to examine catalyst integrity and adhesion to the substrate as
well as physical changes due to excessive operating temperatures and thermal
degradation.
BET Surface Area
This test is used to determine the total surface area which retains catalyst.
Changes can be used to determine the maximum temperature to which the
catalyst has been exposed. Loss of surface area with a known operating on-
stream time can be used to determine remaining catalyst life.
X-Ray Diffraction
This test is used to determine the crystallographic phase of catalysts and
catalyst components, and to determine maximum catalyst exposure temperature
and mechanisms of poisoning.
Mercury Porosimeter
This test is used to determine pore size distribution of the catalyst support
structure.
Simulated Catalyst Activity Test (SCAT)
This test measures catalyst activity under precise conditions, including
controlled flow rate, inlet temperature, and gas composition, over laboratory
scale catalyst samples. Inlet and outlet gas streams are analyzed for O2, CO,
SOx , CO2
, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, H2, H
2O, and temperature. This
permits measurement of all characteristics of catalyst performance under
simulated operating conditions.
1.9 Catalyst Storage Requirements
If the catalyst will remain in storage for along periods of time, some precautions should be
taken to ensure that the catalyst will retain its activity.
1.9.1 OXIDATION CATALYST
The oxidation catalyst is not soluble in water so no special wrapping is required.
However, the catalyst surface should be protected by crating the panels in plywood.
1.10 Performance Testing
Measurement of carbon monoxide should be conducted according to EPA Method 10.

Noise emission guarantee is based on free field sound, hemispherical radiation at the stated distance and does not include combination of sound effect radiated from other sources or noise reflected from the interior building walls and other surfaces. Also, it does not take into consideration factors which may contribute to overall installed noise levels such as existing noise from motors, casings, ducts, flowmeters, dampers, VIVs and other power house equipment.

Total indirect annual cost: $179,895
Total Annual Costs $639,395
In accordance with equation 2.11 of the Control Cost Manual, the annual cost of the
catalyst is calculated by annualizing a $5,000 replacement cost over 3 years at 2%
(0.3468 x 5,000 = $1,734). As a conservative measure the labor cost for catalyst
replacement is not factored in. The capital recovery factor is calculated using the
equation identified below. (CRF (3 yr at 2%) = 0.3468
Spent catalyst removal/disposal cost was not estimated as a conservative measure.
The spent catalyst is returned to the vendor for metal recovery and the cost for
removal/disposal is indirectly factored in the cost of a new catalyst.
At 2% interest rate over 10 years, using capital recovery factor (CRF) equation: CRF = (I (1+i)n) / (1+i)n -1) (used online calculator at http://www.ajdesigner.com/phpdiscountfactors/capital_recovery_equation.php). CRF = 0.11133 (10 years at 2%)

(0.3535 x 15,144 = $5,353). As a conservative measure the labor cost for catalyst
replacement is not factored in. The capital recovery factor is calculated using the
equation identified below. (CRF (3 yr at 3%) = 0.3535
Spent catalyst removal/disposal cost was not estimated as a conservative measure.
The spent catalyst is returned to the vendor for metal recovery and the cost for
removal/disposal is indirectly factored in the cost of a new catalyst.
energy cost obtained from US Energy Information Administration, online interactive
Electricity Data Browser: http://www.eia.gov/electricity/data.cfm. Value provided is
the rolling 12-month cost ending in February 2013 for the industrial sector.
Average Cost Effectiveness
At 3% interest rate over 10 years, using capital recovery factor (CRF) equation: CRF = (I (1+i)n) / (1+i)n -1) (used online calculator at http://www.ajdesigner.com/phpdiscountfactors/capital_recovery_equation.php). CRF = 0.11723 (10 years at 3%)

APPENDIX Q REGISTRY OF AVAILABLE NOX AND VOC OFFSETS
November 26, 2019 Page 1
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
CERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS IN PENNSYLVANIA’S ERC REGISTRY
Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM-10), and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM-2.5). The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206-208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows: (1) To satisfy non-attainment new source review (NNSR) emission offset ratio requirements; (2) To “net-out" of NSR at ERC-generating facilities; (3) To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities. The certified ERCs shown below, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206-208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the over control of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact the Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325. This Pennsylvania ERC registry report, ERC Registry application and instructions are located at www.dep.pa.gov, select Businesses, Air, Bureau of Air Quality, Permits, Emission Reduction Credits.

Subject: Renovo Energy Center, LLC Plan Approval Application
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Renovo Energy Center, LLC (REC), POWER Engineers, Inc. is providing this notice
that REC is submitting a Plan Approval Application to the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (PaDEP) for the construction and operation of a nominally rated 1,240
MW (net) dual fuel fired (natural gas and ultra-low sulfur diesel) combined-cycle electric generating
plant to be located in Renovo, Clinton County, Pennsylvania.
The proposed REC facility will consist of two 1-on-1 power blocks that include a Combustion
Turbine Generator (CTG), Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), and a Steam Turbine (STG)
in line to produce electricity for distribution into the transmission grid system. Each combined
cycle system is intended to be fired on natural gas unless there is an interruption in supply.
Additionally, each HRSG is equipped with a natural gas-fired Duct Burner (DB) for supplemental
steam production, and the steam from the HRSGs is routed through the condensing STG.
The facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art air pollution control equipment. REC will utilize
air cooled condensers for condensing the exhaust steam, which is an environmentally preferred
method as compared to a traditional wet cooling tower. The proposed REC facility will also include
two auxiliary boilers, an emergency generator, an emergency firewater pump, and a natural gas
heater. The HRSG DBs, the auxiliary boilers, and fuel gas heater will only combust pipeline quality
natural gas. The emergency firewater pump and emergency generator will utilize ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel oil.
This notice is being provided in accordance with the Municipal Notification requirements in 25 Pa
Code Section 127.43a. The Plan Approval Application may be reviewed by making arrangements
with:

steam production, and the steam from the HRSGs is routed through the condensing STG.
The facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art air pollution control equipment. REC will utilize
air cooled condensers for condensing the exhaust steam, which is an environmentally preferred
method as compared to a traditional wet cooling tower. The proposed REC facility will also include
two auxiliary boilers, an emergency generator, an emergency firewater pump, and a natural gas
heater. The HRSG DBs, the auxiliary boilers, and fuel gas heater will only combust pipeline quality
natural gas. The emergency firewater pump and emergency generator will utilize ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel oil.

Steven:
It was a pleasure speaking with you the other day. Enclosed are the documents which I
described over the phone. They are several views of the same piece of property. When you
have had a chance to familiarize yourself with these documents, let's spend 15 minutes on the
phone and I can help explain them to you.
Also enclosed is a revised document titled "Project Narrative - PHMC Review Renovo Energy
Center Proposed Location." Please replace the previously filed document of the same name
with this one.
With regard to the contamination- while it is found throughout the industrial park, it appears
heaviest in the areas where the power plant will be located and we will have to pay particular
attention to these areas during construction.
Thank you very much for your effort in this matter and I look forward to talking with you
soon. Also, I will be at the site in the next few weeks and we could always plan a site visit
together.
Very truly yours,

Project Narrative – PHMC Review
Renovo Energy Center Proposed Location
Renovo Energy Center LLC is proposing to use an approximately 20-acre portion of the Renovo
Industrial Park to site a natural gas electrical plant. The property is located in Renovo Borough,
Clinton County. The site is shown on the Quadrangle map included with this submission. This
site has a long history of heavy industrial use. Beginning in 1862, the site was used for over 100
years for the construction, modification and repair of rail cars. Over 3,000 people worked on
the site at its height in the 1920s and 30s. The site has changed hands several times since the
1960s. The power plant is proposed to be located directly over that portion of the site which
has been most heavily used over the past 100 to 150 years.
In 1995, Clinton County Economic Partnership completed Phase II and Expanded Phase II ESA
Investigation Reports of the site to facilitate and encourage its redevelopment. In 2011,
additional environmental investigation of the site revealed contamination throughout the site,
with higher levels of contamination identified at several locations. A Remedial Investigation
Report was prepared, along with Site Specific Remediation and ecological and human health
risk assessments. Restrictive covenants have been placed on the property with regard to the
disturbance of soils in certain areas.
In 2001, a road was added to the site to facilitate the use of the site as an industrial park. Over
the last 30 years or so numerous buildings have been demolished including: former machine
shop, tool room, foundry, paint shop, store depot, lumber shed, and tank shop. These
demolitions left only the chimney to the foundry, a former machine shop, the former erecting
shop, and the former boiler shop. The existing buildings are labeled with their previous usage in
the included site plan.
In order to prepare the land for development of the power plant, the road that was constructed
to facilitate industrial park development will be partially demolished and a turnaround area will
be constructed near the intersection of Industrial Park Road and Mt. Glen Road. The remaining
buildings and the chimney will be removed. A cell tower located on the site will be relocated to
a parcel shown on the map off of Renovo Road. The power plant will be located in the center
of the site where the current buildings are and where the demolished buildings were situated.
We are submitting this project site for review to determine whether there are any structures on
the site that would require additional investigation prior to starting construction on the power
plant. Such construction would include demolition and clearing of the remaining structures
within the project area. The placement of utilities, fences, additional buildings, etc. has not

plant. Such construction would include demolition and clearing of the remaining structures
within the project area. The placement of utilities, fences, additional buildings, etc. has not
been proposed at this time. For this reason, the project boundary is assumed to be coincident
with the area of potential effect.
In addition to the aforementioned 7.5’ USGS Quadrangle, the following materials are included:
a) a basic site plan consisting of annotated Google Earth imagery copy written 2015, b)
annotated images of the site including aerial imagery from 1938, 1959, and 1968 from Penn
Pilot and c) images taken by Sweetland Engineering and Associates survey crews, which are
labeled individually below the images. This project will require Pennsylvania DEP permitting for
an NPDES permit for Earth Disturbances. Because this permit has not yet been acquired, it was
not listed in section C of the request for consultation form.
