BD3 Status Update: January 2016 

32 11 

Last month, the OCS procesa ope1ated as expected In some montba, routine maDI.tenance and mapec:tion is pl!l!!ned, and 

in other'lllDDI:hs such as J!I!!\J8lY, the facility can be operated 100" of 'the time. OYer a year, we eKpeetthe fac:ili'lytD be 

up and nmning approximately 857' of the time. 

OUr 100% online achievement for January allowed us to capture and sequester a record 84,976 tonnea of carbon dioxide. 

We eontinue to 1arget the capture of 8oo,ooo tonnes this year. 

We encountered a emall challenge on the power production side of tbin&s during the last week of the month. Sediment 

accumulation in the Unit 3 boiler, also known as slagging, is caused by the lower quality of coal we occasioDally burn in 

our eoal-fired pbmu. 'l1Da ml:uced the generation output of UDit 3, but did not impact the carbon captuze pi.'UCeS8. 

SlaggiDg ill typical in all coal-fired power units and we haw &ince worked at clearmg away the effects of alaging on UDit 

3. 

In the eoming months, we will ccmtinue to oommjssion the acid pbmt on site in order to conwrt captured sulphur climdde 

iDtD salable sulphuric acid. '!bat process should eome online tiDs spring. 

We will also be taking the c:arlKm captul'e fac:ilizy ofltine for 4-6 da,ya in early Febrlwy. After seven .strajght weeks of 

production (since mid-December), this downtime ia planned to inspect !l!!d clem the various su'IH;yatems in the facility, 

before resmniDg operations by mid-Febnwy.

The sun is always up there, but solar 

power can't be captured at night, and 

the level of intensity determines how 

much can be captured during the day.
