1.0 INTRODUCTION

On May 18, 2005, Tampa Electric Company’s, Environmental Services, Air Services 

Group performed Sulfuric Acid Mist (SAM) source emission tests on Unit No. 1 at the 

Polk Power Station. Unit No. 1 is an integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) 

generating unit. The combustion turbine was fired with syngas from the coal 

gasification system. A blend of petroleum coke and bituminous coal was gasified for 

this test. Testing was conducted according to United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) test methods stipulated in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A and Florida 

Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permit No. 1050233-016-AV. 
2 

2.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The Sulfuric Acid Mist (H2SO4) emission rate was derived from three 1-hour test runs. 

The calculated average H2SO4 emission rate was 22 lbs/hr. The FDEP permitted 

emission rate is 55 lbs/hr based on a 30-day rolling average. 

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) concentration and emissions during the sulfuric acid mist testing 

were determined to be 0.146 lb/mmBtu and 251 lbs/hr. 

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) concentration and emissions during the sulfuric acid mist testing 

were determined to be 0.043 lb/mmBtu and 74 lbs/hr. 

During the tests on May 18, 2005, Unit No. 1 Combustion Turbine was operated at an 

average load of 175 megawatts and an average heat input of 1719 mmBtu/hr. The 

FDEP permitted heat input is 1755 mmBtu/hr, at an ambient temperature of 59o 

(corrected to 1749 mmBtu/hr based on an average inlet vane temperature of 86oF, and 

the manufacturer’s heat input correction curve for this unit). The calculated capacity 

factor during the test was 98%.

3.0 SOURCE DESCRIPTION/TEST PROCEDURES

Polk Power Electrical Generating Station is located at County Road 630 approximately 

13 miles southwest of Bartow, Polk County, Florida. Unit No. 1 is an IGCC generating 

unit, with a net capacity of 192 MW when fired with Syngas fuel. The source sampling 

location consists of a circular stack 19 feet in diameter with four sample ports located 90 

degrees apart on the stack circumference. A diagram of the stack sampling location is 

included along with other pertinent information on the test site. 

Sulfuric acid mist sampling and analysis was performed in accordance with USEPA 

Reference Method 8 (40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A) "Determination of Sulfuric Acid Mist 

and Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources”, and FDEP Permit No. 1050233-

016-AV, Condition A.56. A USEPA audit sample (Request Number/Sample Number 

M08-2152-02/H0268) supplied by FDEP, was analyzed and reported as 19.1 mg 

H2SO4/dscm. 

Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides emissions data were taken from the Plant 

Information (PI) server system. This data was taken as 1-hour averages over the time 

frame from 8:10 through 12:10, representing the time frame of the sulfuric acid mist test. 

Plant operational data was taken from the Plant Information (PI) server system. This 

data was taken as 1-minute averages over the time period from 8:10 through 12:10, 

representing time frame of the sulfuric acid mist test. Data captured included the hourly 

average unit load, average fuel flow, and hourly average inlet vane temperature. 

Details are included in Appendix B.
