Summary of the Effects of Fuel on the Performance of the FGD Wastewater Treatment System at Allen

and Belews Creek Steam Stations

The physical / chemical plus biological treatment system at both Allen and Belews Creek Steam Stations

were tested and designed based on the units burning bituminous Central Appalachian Coal (CAPP). A

variety of fuels have recently been used at both stations.  This practice is expected to continue. Due to

the fuel changes, Duke Energy has observed variability in the characteristics of the FGD scrubber

chemistry, which directly affects the performance of the wastewater treatment system.  

Allen Steam Station

From February 1, 2009 until April 29, 2011, with the exception of a nine‐day test burn conducted from

November 30, 2010 to December 8, 2010, the coal used at Allen Steam Station was CAPP.  Beginning

May 25, 2011, Illinois Basin (ILB) coal was used periodically.  Prior to 2014, the use of ILB was primarily in

approximately 30‐day intervals to test the performance of the boiler and associated equipment.    As

shown in Table 1, Duke Energy believes these changes in coal resulted in elevated selenium

concentrations at the bioreactor effluent.  Due to overlapping cyclic operations and use of ILB coal, it is

unknown whether the biological system would—given adequate time‐‐  adapt to reduce selenium to

concentrations previously  observed when 100% CAPP coal was used.  As an example, ILB coal was used

during the period of January 18, 2013 to February 18, 2013.    The selenium concentrations in the

bioreactor effluent increased to 27.6 μg/L on 1/23/2013 and stayed above the proposed monthly

average limit of 10 ug/l until 2/8/2013, a period of more than 2 weeks. The selenium concentration in

the effluent did decrease; however, during this same period, the load on the units decreased. So, in this

instance it is unclear whether the system adapted to remove selenium or reduction in load allowed the

system to obtain lower selenium concentrations. In any event, even if the biological system can adapt to

a coal switch given enough time, the facility would be out of compliance during the period of

adaptation.   

Additionally, it is clear, based on our data, that coal changes can cause elevated selenium in the

bioreactor effluent.  These changes are more evident beginning in 2014 through February 2015 with the

increased use of ILB coal (see Table 2).  In 2014, Units 3 and 5 primarily used 100% ILB coal and Unit 4

used ILB coal on occasion. The FGD wastewater from all the units is combined prior to treatment.  As

shown in the attached table, both the cyclic operations and fuel changes were potential factors of the

elevated selenium concentrations on 2/26/14 (38.5 μg/L) and 1/28/15 (38.4 μg/L).    However, the

elevated selenium concentration of 50.6 μg/L observed on 2/23/15 appears to be based solely on the

fuel change.  

It is also important to note that changes in the characteristics of the fuel can affect the performance of

the treatment system (see Table 3).  As an example, CAPP was being used in November and December

2012; however, the SO2 in the coal (% as received and lb/MMbtu) increased on 11/25/2012 through

11/30/2012. Duke Energy believes the increase in SO2 caused the elevated selenium concentrations in

the bioreactor effluent on 11/26/2012 (17.2 μg/L) and 12/16/2012 (24.7 μg/L).

Belews Creek Steam Station

Similar to Allen Steam Station, Belews Creek used CAPP from February 1, 2008 to February 11, 2012.  

However, fuel changes began in February 2012 and primarily involved the use of Northern Appalachian

(NAPP) coal as opposed to ILB coal.  As shown in Table 4, changes in the coal affected the performance

of the treatment system. For example, the station used a blend of CAPP and NAPP coal from May 18,

2012 to May 25, 2012.    Initially, the blend was 80% CAPP and 20% NAPP, which caused minimal

increases in the selenium concentration in the bioreactor effluent. As the percentage of NAPP coal

increased, the selenium concentration in the bioreactor effluent also increased as observed on May 28

to June 1, 2012.  There was a similar occurrence during the period from November 5, 2012 to December

28, 2012. Initially the station used only 10% NAPP and increased the percentage to 35%.  Again, as the

percent of NAPP coal increased, there were elevated concentrations of selenium observed in the

bioreactor effluent. The data from these two occurrences, also, indicate an approximate seven‐day lag

time between when the coal is used and the effects are observed in the effluent of the treatment

system.  Again, it is difficult to verify that the biological system would adapt given adequate time, due to

the limited duration of the use of different fuels in the current data set.  And in any event, as with Allen

Station, even if the biological system can adapt to a coal switch given enough time, the facility would be

out of compliance during the period of adaptation.   

Duke Energy believes the variability in the selenium concentrations at the bioreactor effluent are going

to continue as shown by recently collected data in 2015.
