"Initial tests have demonstrated the limestone injection process can reduce sulphur dioxide emissions by about 25 to 40 percent," Campbell said after touring the Mississauga station with Environment Minister Jim Bradley and Energy Minister Vince Kerrio. The scrubbing device injects dry limestone into the furnace where it reacts with sulphur dioxide to fornj calcium sulphate. The resulting dry waste is collected using precipitators and filters. Campbell said while the process being tested at Lakeview may not be appropriate for all of Hydro's coal- fired stations, it can make a contribution contribution to reducing emissions. Hydro's next step is to refine the scrubbing device to achieve better efficiency under varying conditions. Hydro will also be adapting auxiliary auxiliary equipment to further improve operations. "If future tests are equally encouraging, encouraging, limestone injection could be a useful tool in meeting the new acid gas emission regulations set by the Minister of the. Environment." Environment." "While the new regulations are tough ones, we are already on our way towards meeting them," Campbell said, noting that the 1985 emissions are expected to be about 100,000 tonnes lower than in 1984. Campbell also announced that Hydro has reached an agreement in principle with the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States to test additional emission reduction technology. Hydro will contribute up to $1 million (U.S.) to a TVA testing program of a lime spray dryer process at a site in the U.S. later this year. The lime spray dryer process has already proven to be effective in reducing emissions from low sulphur coal. Hydro hopes the process process will provide additional technology in its, fight against acid rain.
