For what's it is worth, this is a quote from a press release dated Feb 21, 1996:
Alanco has also signed a contract with the Public Service Company of Colorado which represents the first CDSI
installation in a coal fired utility in the United States. The electrical utility plant, located in downtown Denver,
serves a population of 2.7 million. The test installation in Denver will begin in March.
From my standpoint, the problem with coal pollution reduction technologies is that I don't really know anything. The potential worldwide markets for these technologies is enormous, and there are about a dozen major approaches with sub-approaches within them. For example, major approaches include things like: ionization, boiler design, coal-preprocessing. Within ionization, there are sub-categories, like Alan's, of sorbent injection (with different sorbents), and non-injection ones.
With such a huge market, lots of companies are trying different things and it is all very complex. I have little idea of which approaches compete and which are complementary. I have no idea of the relative merits and costs of different approaches.
If anyone knows about pollution reduction of coal energy, please elucidate the board. |
