Inhalation Health Risk Assessment of Air Toxic Emissions from Large Combustion Turbine Power Projects
Power generation from combustion turbine projects continues to grow throughout the world. With natural gas as the most common primary fuel, and low-sulfur #2 oil as the backup fuel, combustion turbines are among the cleanest forms of fossil power generation. This paper discusses the results of a preliminary inhalation health risk assessment of air toxic emissions from four power plant configurations.

Evaluation of Gas Turbine Startup and Shutdown Emissions for New Source Permitting
Utility deregulation and the increase in electrical demand have led to a surge in new gas turbine-based power projects. This paper examines the regulatory issues relating to startup/shutdown emissions, emissions profiles during gas turbine startups/shutdowns, annual emissions calculations, a methodology for evaluating the air quality impacts of startup emissions, and compliance with emission limitations.

The Pros and Cons of Predictive, Parametric, and Alternative Emissions Monitoring Systems for Regulatory Compliance
This paper closely examines the pros and cons of using predictive, parametric, and alternative monitoring techniques for regulatory compliance. While many predictive and parametric monitoring systems are less expensive to install and operate than CEM systems and demonstrate exceptional relative accuracy test results, this paper will provide the reader with a better understanding of the limitations of these systems.

Permit Compliance Monitoring for the Power Generation Industry
The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 authorized EPA to develop regulations requiring facilities to monitor the adequacy of emission control equipment and plant operations. This paper discusses the various methods available for coal-fired power plants and gas turbine installations to demonstrate a reasonable assurance of facility compliance with emission limitations, and ensure that control measures are operated and maintained in a manner consistent with best air pollution control management practices.
