description: The basic goal of the Limestone Injection Multistage Burner (LIMB)
 demonstration is to extend LIMB technology development to a full- scale
 application on a representative wall-fired utility boiler. The successful
 retrofit of LIMB to an existing boiler is expected to demonstrate that (a)
 reductions of 50 percent or greater in SO{sub x} and NO{sub x} emissions can
 be achieved at a fraction of the cost of add-on FGD systems, (b) boiler
 reliability, operability, and steam production can be maintained at levels
 existing prior to LIMB retrofit, and (c) technical difficulties attributable
 to LIMB operation, such as additional slagging and fouling, changes in ash
 disposal requirements, and an increased particulate load, can be resolved in a
 cost-effective manner. The primary fuel to be used will be an Ohio bituminous
 coal having a nominal sulfur content of 3 percent or greater.
