Both utilities are in the process of planning for replacing their current generating equipment through retirement and adding capacity to anticipated growth. This study ultimately would bea consideration in their planning cycle. 1.2 Background This project builds on work performed in previous investigations and studies, and examines for the communities of Kotzebue and Nome the Following: - potential regional coal sources; - coal-based power generation technology(s) and method(s) applicable to the Kotzebue and Nome power utilities; - district heating systems and scenarios for each community; - environmental impact of the selected coal-based method and technology; - economics of coal-fired power generation and district heating; and - socio-economic impact of coal based power. The interest of the Alaska Native Foundation (ANF) in conducting the project jis to conduct research that may result in a long term solution to the rising lea cost of maintaining rural lifestyles in western Alaska. To that end, ANF recently completed the Western Arctic Coal Development Project (WACDP) which found the coal resource at the Deadfall Syncline area of the western arctic to be a potentially viable resource development project. As part of the report a preliminary feasibility effort was conducted to assess the coal use for the community of Nome. Several coal-based methods and technologies were found to be superior to the continued use of oi]. Other past investigations and reports pertaining to this subject but not conducted by ANF are: Preliminary Feasibility Study of a Coal Mine at Chicago Creek, 1983, sponsored by the State Department of Natural Resources; and Kotzebue Coal-Fired Cogeneration, District Heating and Other Energy Alternatives Feasibility Assessment, 1982, conducted by the Alaska Power Authority. The conclusion of this report was coal-fired cogeneration may be the most attractive alternative if coal (local or imported) can be provided for around $6.00 /Mbtu. This project proposes to update the delivered cost of coal from each potential coal source and update the demographics and energy profiles of both communities. In addition it is proposed to evaluate and advance the perferred coal-based technology and coal resource for both communities. Economic and Financial feasibility will be based on the regional concept of providing energy to the market place as presented in the WACDP, which identifies both the Kotzebue and Nome utilities and 3 North Slope communities as the preferred initial market. The Kotzebue and Nome Coal Conversion Study is proposed to be performed in conjunction with the North Slope Borough's (NSB) Western Arctic Coal Demonstration Program and the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation's (ASRC) Deadfall Syncline Coal Combustion Test Program. The NSB Program will provide coal for the ASRC coal program. Results of the ASRC testing program will provide to this coal study the data necessary to design and evaluate coal and ash handling methods, boiler and turbine technology, desulfurization requirements, and environmental impact. Coal data for the Chicago Creek evaluation will be provided by the Mineral Industry Research Laboratory (MIRL), University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Completion of this study will provide: an assessment of the suitability of todays coal-based technologies and methods and their impact on the communities of Kotzebue and Nome; assess and compare regional coal sources; determine the impact of the regional approach of supplying energy to the western region of the state on the end-use economics of coal; and provide the Kotzebue and Nome utilities with an alternative to oi] that can be used jin their planning process for future plant retirement and capacity additions. 2.0 Project Team The ANF will work closely with the utility representatives and the community officials and will subcontract to ASCE OceanTech to provide the services required to accomplish the elements of the project. AS shown in Figure 2- 1-Project Organization Chart.

BATTELLE COLUMBUS COMBUSTION TEST FACILITIES Battelle Columbus Division has long been a leader in combustion research, particularly fluidized-bed processing technology. Almost from its founding, in 1929, Battelle staff conducted research in coal combustion, ash deposits and corrosion, emission control, and heat transfer from pulverized coal flames. The emphasis of Battelle's combustion research shifted to 01] and gas combustion in the 1950s. At the time of the oil embargo, Battelle re-emphasized research on combustion of coal and alternative fuels, and continues to work on all fuels of commercial interest and every aspect of their combustion. Pertinent Experience = Combustion Study of Coal Liquefaction Bottoms Client: Industrial Battelle conducted an experimental study to evaluate an asphaltic petroleum residual fuel that was a byproduct of a coal liquefaction process. a Slurry Fuels Evaluation Client: Industrial A major oil-firing utility engaged Battelle to conduct a systematic program of combustion trials on coal-containing fuels that might be candidates for firing in their boilers. 218 Fuels that were evaluated included: Two coal-oil mixtures, one coal-oil-water mixture, one deep-cleaned coal, and five coal-water slurries. The main objective of the fuel trials was to identify major problems that might eliminate a _ fuel from further consideration as a utility boiler fuel. Thus, only exploratory trials were run for the various slurries. The combustion trials have been conducted by Battelle in their Laboratory Scale Combustion Facility. This facility was designed for firing gaseous, liquid, and/or solid fuels in an environment simulating the combustion zone of a power plant. Additionally, the test facility includes heat transfer surfaces simulating those in utility boilers. Fouling of Boilers Fired with Subbitiminous Coal Client: Coal Company A coal company asked Battelle to investigate the reasons that a particular subbitiminous coal caused deposit problems in certain boilers. The coal company had already explored most of the common reasons for this problem. Combustion Trials of Client's Coal-Water Slurry Client: Industrial In support of a client that had been working to develop coal- water slurries for several years, Battelle conducted combustion trials of two coal-water slurry compositions and of the base coal from which the slurries were produced. * Evaluation of Emissions and Control Technology for Industrial Stoker Boilers Client: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Research Triangle Park, North Carolina In this program, Battelle (1) characterized the spectrum of emissions form industrial stoker-coal-fired boilers firing several types of coal under various stoker-firing conditions; (2) investigated control] methods to reduce these emissions; (3) determined the effect of these contro] methods and variations in stoker-boiler operation on the overall performance of the stoker boiler; and (4) assessed the environmental impact of new technology on the future acceptability. Phase I of this program involved evaluation of the characteristics of emissions resulting from the combustion of untreated, reconstituted, and processed coals in a small- scale (20-hp) spreader stoker. In Phase II, from the Battelle steam plant, which is a full-scale industrial-size (25,000 pph) spreader stoker boiler. NORTHERN ECONOMICS Northern Economics provides’ professional consulting services in economics and related fields to federal, state and local governments, native corporations, engineering and environmental firms, and oil industry support service companies. The range of service provided by the company extends from sophisticated computer modeling to cost- benefit analyses, and from feasibility studies of coal mines to analyses of household heating technologies. Mr. Patrick Burden, principal of the firm, has been involved in economic consulting for over 12 years. After experience with several international consulting firms he founded his Anchorage-based 2-10 consulting firm jin 1982. Mr. Burden has an extensive background in economic analysis of energy related projects and has _ conducted work which will be directly applicable to the requirements of this project. Mr. Burden's firm was responsible for the economic and financial analyses conducted for the Western Arctic Coal Development Project. Mr. Burden also participated in a study that assessed the attitudes of Nome residents regarding district heating. He was responsible for compiling and analyzing the data collected from the survey. Other related work has included economic feasibility analyses of electrical power generation and district heating alternatives in Kotzebue for the Alaska Power Authority. This study involved analyses of hydro-power, coal, geothermal, and fuel oil as _ sources of heating and electric power. As a result of these studies and other studies conducted by Northern Economics, the firm has a set of computer models which can be directly applied to the needs of this project. For example, the firm has developed a computer model which calculates the delivered price of fuel oi) to any selected community on the West Coast of Alaska given the world price of crude oil. This model calculates the output price from either Puget Sound or Nikiski refineries and determines the transportation cost(which is partially dependent upon the price of crude oil) to any selected community accessible by tug or barge. This model can employ any forecast of world crude oi] prices such as the Alaska Power Authority, Alaska Department of Revenue, Data Resources, Inc. (DRI), or American Petroleum Institute. Similar models have been developed to determine the delivered price of coal to communities in western Alaska. At the present time this model can be used to determined the transportation cost for coal from the Cape Beaufort region, Chicago Creek, Beluga, Healy, and Prince Rupert, Bace This transportation cost is then added to the coal price F.0.B. the origin port to determine the delivered price in the destination community. Opal Pertinent Experience Northern Economics projects of pertinent to this Study are as follows: Demand analysis and economic and financial analysis fora proposed coal mine in northwest Alaska including economic assessment of coal-fired power and heating units; Economic feasibility analyses of electrical power generation and district heating alternatives in Kotzebue for the APG; Economic feasibility analyses of a proposed LNG based district heating and power generation system for the village of Nuiqsut; Economic analyses of small hydropower sites near Chignik, Alaska including an economic base study, and a benefit-cost analysis.

Battelle Columbus Combustion Test Facility Resumes ROBERT D. LITT Associate Section Manager Fuels and Combustion Technology Section Education B.Ch.E., M.S., Chemical Engineering, The Ohio State University Qualifications Mr. Litt has extensive experience in the design, construction, and operation of facilities for combustion and other chemical processes. He has worked on several large projects involving coal gasification and combustion at both the pilot plant and commercial scale. Relevant Experience Multi-Solid Fluidized-Bed Combustion. He coordinated the transfer of MSFBC technology to Battelle's licensees. MSFBC is a unique and versatile method of burning high sulfur coal in an environmentally acceptable manner. Mr. Litt has prepared process design basis documents from the laboratory experimental data to be used for detailed mechanical design of the commercial systems. He has worked with the licensees and their clients to design and startup the first commercial units. Present activities include continuing technical assistance. Previously, he designed a 40,000 lb/hr steam boiler using MSFBC technology as a DOE demonstration project. He coordinated the efforts of subcontractors on this multidiscipline project to produce a complete design package. Nested Fiber Filter. Mr. Litt participated in the brainstorming session that led to the NFF concept. He has been an advisor to Battelle's internally funded research and development of the concept. He is currently managing a DOE project to test and evaluate this new concept for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. Pulverized Coal Combustion Facility. He was responsible for the design, construction, and operation of Battelle's 5 million Btu per hour facility. He led a team of engineers and technicians to have this facility in operation in 1982. The facility is used for fuels testing and evaluation, materials testing, burner development, and combustion diagnostics development. It is a complete facility including a coal preparation and feeding system, air preheater, combustor, superheater test section, boiler and flue gas cleanup equipment. Advanced Atmospheric Fluidized-Bed Combustion. Mr. Litt managed Battelle's project to develop the conceptual design of an advanced R. D. LITT (Continued) AFBC unit. The Ultra High Velocity (UHV) system used a variation of the MSFBC technology with high velocity and high turndown. The UHV system features high velocity, high turndown, simplified fuel feeding, low NOx, low SOs, and high combustion efficiency. This multidiscip] inary project combined the combustion engineering, fluid mechanics, and materials specification skills available at Battelle to develop this advanced AFBC system. Agglomerating Burner Process Development Unit. He was Deputy Program Manager for this $14 million project with DOE to develop a new coal gasification process. He supervised the daily operation, maintenance, and engineering activities of the 60 person staff. At the termination of the project, he managed the mothballing activities for the plant. Spouted-Bed Boiler. Mr. Litt managed the development of an advanced fluidized-bed combustion system based upon spouted-bed technology. An engineering design study and experimental proof of concept were required to demonstrate the technical and economic benefits for the system. A small package boiler application is favored for this system. Trace Metal Capture. Mr. Litt led a project to design and evaluate a fluidized-bed incinerator to capture trace metals on the bed material when firing hazardous waste. Bench-scale tests were performed to establish the operating conditions, operating procedures and equipment design to achieve greater than 90 percent trace metal capture on the bed material. The resulting bench-scale fluidized-bed incinerator has the flexibility to operate with several fuels, bed materials, and fluxing agents over a wide range of conditions. Single and/or double stage operation provides the ability to capture different trace metals or to provide more effective capture. Combustion Study of Asphaltic Petroleum Residual. Mr. Litt managed the multidisciplined study of an asphaltic petroleum residual. The combustion performance of this special fuel was evaluated in a fluidized bed combustor and in a conventional suspension fired (pulverized) system. Combustion performance, atmospheric emissions (particulate and organic) and materials behavior were studied simultaneously in these tests. Excellent combustion in both systems resulted in low emission levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Trace metals in the ash formed deposits on the material probes. Detailed results of the study are proprietary. Acoustic Boiler Leak Detection. Mr. Litt managed this project to evaluate the initial U. S. experience with acoustic leak detection systems in utility boilers. Several manufacturers and host utilities participated in the project to provide the data. The evaluation also included European experience with the systems. A comprehensive evaluation of these boiler diagnostic systems R. D. LITT (Continued) emphasized the reliability, usefulness, and economic benefits of the systems. Slag Monitoring in Utility Boilers. Mr. Litt led a technical assessment of current methods to detect slag deposits in boilers to permit more effective remedial action. Direct monitoring techniques use multiple heat flux meters in the boiler to provide a local measurement. Indirect techniques use computerized heat balance models to calculate the "fouling" of boiler sections. Several developing concepts, such as acoustic attenuation, sonic pyrometry, ultrasonic pulse reflection, and a simplified heat balance model were recommended as potential improvements to the current state of the art. At-Sea Incineration. Mr. Litt provided the combustion support to this EPA project to measure the emissions of ship incinerators burning PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). A special sampling protocol was developed for determining the effect of emissions on aquatic life. Test burns were conducted in Battelle's combustion laboratory at EPA's land based incinerator and on-board ship. Rigorous biological, chemical, and toxicity analyses were conducted upon the flue gas samples obtained from these tests. Office of Pilot Plant Design and Operation. Mr. Litt managed this office during the design, construction, and operation of several large pilot plants. This office provided the core team of experts who could transfer technology from the laboratory to commercial application. Publications and Presentations Gangaram, G., Litt, R. D., and Seber, E.

In the experimental area, he has been active in the conception, design, and construction of special laboratory furnaces as well as in the planning and supervision of experimental programs and the analysis and interpretation of results. Relevant Experience Utility Experience with Slagging and Fouling. Leading a study to determine current knowledge of slagging and fouling of utility boilers. One part of this study includes surveying utilities for slagging and fouling experience, and conducting statistical studies to relate problems to boiler design or fuel properties. Another aspect of this study includes surveying boiler manufacturers for their design practices and identifying weaknesses in the approaches. Ash in Pulverized-Coal-Fired Power Plants. Was the principal contributor to a study to review and extend methods presently used to forecast and quantify ash related problems in large coal-fired boilers. This study was supported by clients in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Australia. As part of the program, Mr. Barrett visited power plants in Italy, Spain, and Germany for the purpose of offering guidance on the solution of troublesome deposit problems. Impact of Coal on Power Plant Performance. Recently concluded a Major study of the relationship between the performance of utility power plants and coal characteristics. The measures of power plant performance considered in this study were availability, efficiency, and maintenance costs. In addition to coal characteristics, other factors considered as impacting power plant performance were unit age, unit size and design, and maintenance efforts. Field Study of Slagging. Contributed to an EPRI-sponsored study of the influence of coal in slagging and fouling of utility boiler RICHARD E. BARRETT (Continued) furnaces. This program, which included field tests at five units, examined the relationship between the composition of ash in each coal and the load-limiting slagging experienced when firing the coals. Fouling from Subbituminous Coals. Directed a study to examine factors causing ash from the combustion of a subbituminous coal to foul convection and ESP surfaces in power plants. One part of the study utilized ash pellet crushing-strength test. Another part of the study included trial burns of the coals in pilot-scale combustor at 250 lb/hr. Boiler Fouling Study. Analyzed coal data from a power plant experiencing occasional fouling problems. Identified spots of high chlorine coal or increased levels of active sodium as possible causes of problem. Coal Combustion Facility. Directed a study to develop the conceptual design for a 500 lb/hr coal combustion facility for a utility. The utility would use the facility to evaluate coal combustion properties including deposits, carbon burnout, and emissions. Corrosion and Erosion of Boiler Tubes. Contributed to study to evaluate seriousness of corrosion and erosion of power plant boiler tubes. Acted as advisor to corrosion engineers regarding overal] plant operation and coal-boiler surface interaction. Coal Water-Slurry Firing. Directed three series of laboratory combustion trials to evaluate coal-water slurries for use as boiler fuels. First study was directed to identifying problems, if any, that would make slurry fuels unacceptable. Other studies were to evaluate slurry fuels on a relative basis. FRactors evaluated were handling, atomization, and combustion stability, carbon burnout, emissions, and deposits. Petroleum Coke Slurry Firing Trials. Directed Battelle studies to evaluate a slurry of petroleum coke and refinery liquids for use as a boiler fuel. Prime concern was char burnout and, hence, particulate emissions. Combustion trials of residual oil (baseline fuel) and petroleum coke slurry were conducted at 225 lb/hr in pilot-scale combustion facility. Fouling of Boiler Surfaces. Conducted a study of fouling of heat exchanger surfaces of fluidized-bed-combustion/waste-heat-boiler systems. The recommended solution (soot-blowing to remove deposits before they hardened in place) is being implemented successfully by the manufacturer. RICHARD E. BARRETT (Continued) SO-Limestone Reactions. Designed a test rig and conducted experimental studies to determine the reaction of SOj with limestone injected in boiler furnaces. Variables included temperature, SOp level, type of stone, particle size, and residence time. Results of these studies were later confirmed by full-scale boiler tests. Boiler Field Test. Directed Battelle's part in a major field test of a utility power plant that was only operating at 50 percent of design capacity due to very poor quality fuel. As part of a 40-man field test by five organizations, Battelle conducted temperature and gas analysis measurements at the plant to generate data to guide plant modifications. S03 Formation, Corrosion, and Deposits. As a member of an interdisciplinary research team for a 6-year program for the ASME, was principal investigator responsible for the laboratory-scale studies of S03 formation in flames and on catalytic surfaces representative of boiler tubes and of the reactions influencing corrosion and deposits from combustion gases in fuel-burning furnaces. Power Plant Fuel Switching. Led Battelle-Columbus' efforts in the preparation of engineering support documents for DOE prohibition orders requiring power plants to switch from oil to coal firing. Factors considered in these studies were equipment modification necessary for coal firing, impact of conversion to coal on power plant performance, and emissions. Emission Reduction for Cogeneration System. Led Battelle effort to identify means for reducing emissions of NO,, CO, HC, and particulate from a diesel engine-boiler cogeneration system. Effort included modeling of boiler to examine mixing of burner gases and gas fed into boiler from underneath. Determined that boiler firing rate was too low to provide an afterburner environment where diesel exhaust could be incinerated, and suggested addition of duct burners. Client is implementing this solution. Oil-Water Emulsions. Directed studies to develop techniques for preparing emulsions of No. 2 and No. 6 fuel oil and an experimental combustion-test rig for evaluating these emulsions. this early work in fuel emissions has been cited frequently by subsequent researchers in this area. SO» Reactions in Plumes. Participated in a study to determine the rate of loss by reaction of SO» from power-plant flue gases in the stack and plume. Responsible for the design and operation of the laboratory-scale system used to simulate the time-temperature profile of a central-station power plant and the early plume. RICHARD E. BARRETT (Continued) Field Study of Oil Burner Emissions. Directed Phase II of an API/EPA-sponsored investigation of the effects of combustion parameters on emissions from residential and commercial heating equipment. Emissions from residential oil furnaces and commercial heating boilers were measured in the field under various operating conditions and with various fuels. Factors which significantly affect emission levels were identified. Emissions Sampling and Analysis. Served as Program Manager of two Targe EPA Tenel-ot- eer contracts with Battelle. In the nearly 6 years that he managed these contracts, Battelle conducted 80 specific research tasks. These tasks have ranged from small analytical tasks to major sampling tasks at a variety of industrial emissions sources. Fuel Oil Additives. Directed several studies to evaluate fuel oil additives for their effectiveness in reducing smoke emissions and/or soot deposits. Commercial/Industrial Boiler Statistics. Directed several studies to determine characteristics of the U.S. commercial/industrial boiler population. The latest studies made use of the incomplete NEDS, MFBI, and ABMA data files to estimate the total number of distribution of boilers in the 50,000 to 500,000 lb/hr steam size range. Air Pollution R&D Plan. As a member of a top Battelle research team, participated in the preparation of a comprehensive 5-year plan for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. "The Federal R&D Plan for Air Pollution Control by Combustion-Process Modification". Responsible for the analysis of information and formulation of R&D recommendations in the areas of industrial steam generation and commercial and residential space heating. Wood-Fired Grain Drying System. Evaluated replacing direct firing of natural gas for a grain drying operation with a wood-firing system. Possible contamination of the product with wood ash dictated recommendation of an indirect fired system. Stack Effect Computer Model. Developed a unique digital computer model of the air flow paths in the World Trade Center to investigate the stack effect in the building. For a paper resulting from this study, “Computer Analysis Stack Effect in High- Rise Buildings", he received an award for technical excellence from ASHRAE. Cooling of Crowded Quarters. Examined techniques for maintaining acceptable temperatures in crowded quarters without access to outside power or water.

Task_1 - Project Management and Nome The purpose of this task is to delineate the management responsibilities for this inter-disciplinary project. ASCE OceanTech will act as project management for this study. ASCE OceanTech will be responsible for project control, monthly progress reports and invoicing, and final report preparation. They will provide coordination with all subconsultants, ANF, Mineral Industry Research Laboratory (MIRL), Kotzebue Electric Association, (KEA) Nome Joint Utility, (NJU) NSB Western Arctic Coal Demonstration Project, and ASRC Deadfall Syncline Coal Combustion Test Program. Task 2 - Energy Forecasts Task Task In cooperation with the KEA, and the NJU management, ASCE OceanTech Project Team will document the variations in power demand over the past year, investigate the heating demands for Kotzebue and Nome and project the future demand for electric power and thermal energy based on historical demographic patterns and future growth projections (including the possible addition of the Gold Co. load). The task will involve assembling previous investigations that are relevant to an inventory of power and thermal energy demands for Kotzebue and Nome as well as a review of the operating records of KEA and NJU. The results of the foregoing effort will be tabulated and plotted to describe; existing annual and peak demands; demand changes over time due to conservation and new development; and for district heating purposes only, determine potential service areas and heating densities. 3 - Fuel Assessment Review possible regional coal sources including Deadfall Syncline (Western Arctic) and Chicago Creek coal _ prospects. Compare delivered costs based on cost of mining, transportation, and handling and storage of the fuel. Assess. combustion characteristics for each fuel and determine their impact on the environment and power plant system design. Coal resources will, in all cases, be compared to the continued use of fuel oil. 4 - Technology Assessment Review the results of the coal combustion analysis. Based upon the combustion analysis and demand requirements determined in Task 2, evaluate and select up to two (2) combustion technologies and ae power conversion technologies best suited to these applications. Develop the operating parameters for the district heating system. The primary focus of the district heating effort will be on Nome. Task 5 - Power Plant Site Evaluation Working closely with the local utilities identifying up to two (2) each possible locations for a coal-fired power plant and the impact of those choices on related factors such as_ fuel transportation and transmission line costs, cooling water availability, district heating options and geotechnic or environmental considerations. A preliminary layout of the power plant at each location shall be provided. Task 6 - District Heating Requirements Analyze the type and configuration of distribution system(s) needed to serve the thermal heating load demands. This will involve an assessment of general routing plans and establishment of distribution network(s). Task 7 - Economic Analysis Estimate budgetary total installed cost (exclusive of finance costs), operating costs, and maintenance cost for the project. Compute power and heating costs for Kotzebue and Nome, and assume a consumer selling price to determine return on equity. Since the production level of the coal at the mine greatly affects the economy of coal, the cost of energy to KEA and NJU will be determined at various coal production levels based on the results of the marketing effort of the WACDP. Task 8 - Socioeconomic Impact Develop a detailed description of all project effects on the economy of the region, the community of Nome, and the individuals living in the community. Consider both the immediate and the long term. Assess the receptivity of the community to al) phases of the project, and consider the influence this may have on project success. Task 9 - Final Report The ASCE OceanTech Project Team will provide ANF with a draft final report approximately nine months after the start of the project. The ASCE OceanTech Project Team will meet with personnel from NOU, KEA APA, and other appropriate organizations to review the results of the program and explain courses of action. Comments from this meeting will be incorporated into the final report. 4.0 Project Schedule The project schedule is presented in Figure 4-1. It summarizes the basic plan and addresses al] tasks outlined in Section 3.0., Work Plan. It has a proposed start-up date of September 1988. The proposed project will complete an investigation of several regional coal sources and the feasibility of coal-based power generation and district heating technology and methods for the communities of Kotzebue and Nome. It is scheduled for ten (10) calendar months of activities. It is planned to make visits and/or presentations by one or several project team members to the communities of Nome and Kotzebue during Task 2-Energy Forecasts, Task 5-Power Plant Site Evaluation, and Task 9-Final Report. Results of the ASRC Deadfall Syncline Coal Combustion Test Program will be incorporated into Task 4.0-Technology Assessment. The test results are anticipated to be available to the project by mid to late December.
