CITY OF LOS ANGELES – LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS IS REQUESTING

A BID FOR EMISSIONS TESTING OF AIRPORT UTILITIES AND CONTROLS

DIVISION EQUIPMENT AT LAX

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Los Angeles International Airports’ (LAX) Central Utility Plant (CUP) has two solar gas turbines, each rated at 4.2 MW. The Mercury 50S model turbines are natural gas fired and have waste heat recovery boilers that are also equipped with 35.8 MM Btu/Hr. of natural gas duct burner firing. To reduce NOx emissions from the gas turbine and duct burners, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems are installed. The SCR catalyst systems rely upon injecting ammonia vapor (NH3) into the flue gases, which then pass through a catalyst material chemically reducing the NOx to elemental nitrogen and water. Each gas turbine is considered a major source of NOx and is equipped with a dedicated CEMS that will monitor NOx and O2 in the stack exhaust stream, downstream of the SCR. The NOx CEMS utilizes dual range analyzers (0-10 and 0-100). Each waste heat recovery boiler has a natural gas fired duct burner with a capacity of 35.8 MM Btu/Hr. and each duct burner is also classified as a major source of NOx. There are also two Unilux low NOx packaged boilers that have output capacities of 18 MM Btu/Hr. and each packaged boiler is classified as a large source of NOx.

LAWA holds a current contract for emissions testing of airport utilities and controls division equipment that expires on February 17, 2027. The successor contract is planned for a 5-year period.
