Description of the source (including control equipment). Please see the attachments for source or

 process flow diagram:

Ghent Unit 4 is a wall-fired, utility boiler that combusts bituminous coal. The unit is equipped with an electrostatic 

precipitator (ESP) for particulate matter (PM) control, a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system for SO2 control and a 

selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit for NOx control. A dry sorbent injection system is used to control SO3 

emissions, with injection points upstream of the ESP and FGD systems.
