Proposed rule will reduce NOx from power plants

Article Abstract:

The EPA has released a proposed rule that would reduce annual nitrogen oxide emissions from electric power plants by an additional 820,000 tons by the year 2000. The proposed rule represents the implementation of Phase II of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The proposed rule is expected to affect 284 dry-bottom wall-fired boilers, 296 tangential boilers, 35 cell-burner technology boilers, 88 cyclones, 38 wet-bottom wall-fired burners, 29 vertically fired burners and five fluidized-bed combustors.
