Abstract
The paper details the experience with the satisfactory dispersion of hot gases from two power plants each larger than 1000 MW designed in 1952-1953. The effects of this experience on the design of 825-foot stacks for the Cardinal Plant is covered, with a description of test work underway to verify the results. This includes dustfall and sulfur dioxide sampling at fixed locations. A case is made for the use of high stacks to control ground level concentrations, rather than resorting to fuel restrictions or emission standards which are unnecessary and economically unsound.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
