This plant provides electrical power to customers i

2、n Arizona, Nevada and California. It also provides the power for pumping Colorado River water for the Central Arizona Project, supplying about 1.5 million acre feet (1.85 km3) of water annually to central and southern Arizona. As of 2013 permission to operate as a conventional coal-fired plant is an

3、ticipated until December 22, 2044. The Navajo Generating Station is the United States of Americas third largest emitter of carbon dioxideIntroduction it locates on the Navajo Indian Reservation, near Page,Arizona, United States Historyin 1950s and 1960s designin 1970 start in 1974units 1 completed i

Major components of each unit include a boiler, turbine, generator, closed-cycle cooling system, and environmental control equipmentDesign and s

5、pecificationsThe boilers are tangentially fired, balanced draft, reheat type steam generators, supplied by Combustion Engineering Designed for supercritical operation, each boiler supplies up 5,410,000 pounds of steam per hour to the turbines at 3500 psi (241 bar) and 1000 F (537 C）The main turbines

6、 are General Electric (GE) tandem compound reheat turbines, each directly coupled to a generator and designed to rotate at 3600 rpm.The plant uses about 26,000 acre feet (32,000,000 m3) of water per year from Lake Powell, or about 1/2 gallon (1.9L) per kWh, mainly for cooling water and scrubber oper

The plant and mine annually pay out about $100 million in direct wages and $50 million in leases and royalties NGS and Kayenta Mine paym

10、hen installation of the new burners began, NOx emissions were about 34,000 tons per yearEnvironmental controlsEnvironmental controls Fly ash particulate is removed from the flue gas by hot-side electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and SO2 scrubbers. The ESPs, constructed as part of the original plant,

11、 remove 99% of particulate. Scrubbers remove an additional 50% of what remains in the flue gas after passing through the ESPsEnvironmental controlsWastewater handlingNGS was built with one of the first zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems in a power plant, recovering all cooling tower blow-down and r

12、unoff from developed areas of the site。 The waste water is processed through three brine concentrators and a crystallizer, which remove the solids and produce distilled water for re-use within the plant Several lined ponds are used in conjunction with the ZLD system to capture and regulate the flow of waste water to the systemEnvironmental controlsByproducts handling The plant sells about 500,000 tons of fly ash per year for use in the manufacture of concrete and Flexcrete insulating block building product Bottom ash and gypsum, a byprodu
