Warrior Run Generating Station (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Warrior Run is a 205 MW cogeneration plant located at 39 35 46 N 78 44 46 W / 39.59611 N 78.74611 W / 39.59611; -78.74611Coordinates: 39 35 46 N 78 44 46 W / 39.59611 N 78.74611 W / 39.59611; -78.74611 south of Cumberland, Maryland, at 11600 Mexico Farms Road that is owned by the AES Corporation. In addition to electric power, the plant also produces food-grade carbon dioxide. The plant uses fluidized bed combustion (FBC) technology, in which bituminous coal and finely ground limestone is injected using air into the boiler. The air keeps the limestone and coal suspended in a fluid-like condition. The limestone reacts with the sulfur dioxide released during the combustion of the coal, removing this pollutant from the emissions. With the enhanced sulfur dioxide removal due to the FBC technology, Warrior Run can burn approximately 400,000 tons of coal from Maryland each year, which tends to be of a higher sulfur content. During 2007, 100% of the coal burned at Warrior Run was mined in Maryland.
