Three Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
MHI501G combustion turbines, three

MW.
Two GE 7251-FB combustion turbines,
two heat recovery steam generators,
and one steam turbine generator. The
facility is rated at 540 MW.
Three GE 7FA combustion turbines,
three duct-fired heat recovery steam
generators. Total power output is
1186 MW.
Two Alstom Power GT–24 combustion
turbine generators, a heat recovery
steam generator and one steam electric generator. The facility is rated at
580 MW.
Original PSD permit issued on April 1,
1991 for three simple-cycle turbines
each rated at 174.2 MW capacity.
This modification entailed the addition
of three new natural gas-fired fuel
heaters each with a maximum heat
input rating of 4.62 MMBTU/hr.
The applicant will repower the existing
Astoria Generating Station (AGS). The
repowering will include the installation
of six combustion turbines, retirement
of four existing boilers and reuse of
existing equipment and infrastructure
including two steam turbine generators. The repowering will increase
AGS’s electric generating capacity
from 1,254 MW to 1,816 MW.
To remove the carbon monoxide (CO)
emission limits of 400 ppmdv @ 7%
O2 and 45.5 lb/hr from the current
PSD permit and add a CO limit of
11.3 lb/hr.
Boiler and Industrial Furnace modification project. Boilers No. 3, 5 and 9
each has a maximum rated gross
heat input capacity of 99.5 MMBTU/
hr. Existing boilers 3 and 9 will now
be allowed to burn natural gas, fuel oil
or waste solvent. These two boilers
will be equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Boiler No. 5 will
have low NOX burners to control NOX.
Boilers No. 7 and 8 will be retired.
Modification of an existing major stationary source that triggered PSD for
CO, PM and PM10. Petroleum refining
facility with 75,000 barrels/day capacity.
The facility increased the maximum oil
feed rate to the fluid catalytic cracking
unit from 55,000 barrels per day to
67,650 barrels per day. The facility
also upgraded its existing Belco
scrubber from EDV–5000 to EDV–
6000 to improve control efficiency of
PM10 and SO3/H2SO4.
Modification to allow for an increase in
sulfuric acid mist emission rate from
9.0 lb/hr to 24.89 lb/hr during distillate
oil combustion on the No. 6 turbine
(181 MW). Annual sulfuric acid mist
emission rates will increase from 3.53
tons/year to 6.44 tons/year.

during natural gas firing while decreasing the quantity of oil combusted
in the unit. HOVENSA is also reducing the amount of oil fired in the Vacuum Unit heaters. This project does not
result in a significant net emission increase for any pollutant.

The existing PSD permit was modified
to allow the melt shop production limit
to increase from 600,000 tons/year to
665,000 tons/year of steel. In addition,
a new 179 MMBTU/hour heat input
reheat furnace will replace the existing
one which is used with the rolling mill.
This facility is subject to PSD for CO,
NOX and SO2.
The existing PSD permit was modified
to update the PM10 condensible emissions based on stack test results; to
increase the size of the emergency
boiler feedwater pump diesel engine
from 400 hp to 430 hp; to increase
AES’s annual usage limit of lime from
6,736 tons/year to 8,950 tons/year; to
add the option of using trucks to haul
ash offsite for on-island beneficial
uses; to add a new category of startup that applies to startup following
outages; to increase the number of
turnovers in the startup fuel tank from
4 to 7 per year; and to change the
cover of the inactive coal yard from
grass to manufactured aggregate. As
a result of these changes, there is
only a trivial increase of 42 lb/year of
PM10 emissions.
