Boise Cascade (Pilot Rock)

3 wood-fired boilers

Backup to natural gas fired boiler. Previous test results: Boiler 1: 0.08-0.17 and 0.4% (6 tests); Boiler 3: 0.08-0.19 and 0-1% (8 tests); Boiler 4: 0.06-0.10 (4 tests)

3 hogged fuel boilers cannot meet standard, would shut down permanently.  Cannot add control device which requires an air flow system that is incompatible with stacks.

Need great fuel (size & moisture), steady load.  And luck

Two wood-fired boilers

Most recent test results are 0.13 for boiler 1 and 0.09 for boiler 2.

Already does a lot of maintenance, cannot meet 0.10 consistently, needs controls. Thinking of package NG boiler

Need natural gas or ESP, cannot be tuned any better, talked about adding small supplemental NG boiler

In 1999, changed fuel auger from a hydraulic drive to variable speed drive and reconnected overfire air system.  In 2000, changed fuel screen size to 3 inches to keep large hunks from getting in boiler.  Seems to have helped PM emissions but didn’t reduce the CO emissions.

Wood fired boiler

0.17 at 26,800 #/hr steam

> 26,800 then NG boiler starts up

Asphalt plant

19% and 0.22 (1999 source test)

Old asphalt plant with scrubber, would probably scrap because hardly ever runs and has other asphalt plants
