Power PlantMeets EPA Emissions Requirements While Increasing Steam Production POWER RESULTS •Cost-effectively met EPA emissions requirements •Lowered maintenance costs •Increased levels of steam production APPLICATION A power plant uses Number 6 fuel oil as a backup fuel in its steam boilers when natural gas supplies are curtailed or prices are high. The fuel oil feed to the boiler is metered as part of the boiler control system. Comparing total fuel usage with steam output provides a good indication of boiler efficiency and the need for boiler maintenance. In addition, the plant is able to meet EPA requirements for monitoring SO 2 emissions by reporting total fuel oil consumption as part of the EPA regulation 40 CFR Part 75 Appendix D. It is important that this fuel oil consumption m
