originally manufactured by Combustion Engineering, capable of producing
290,000 pounds per hour of 965°F steam at 1,710 pounds of pressure per square
inch gauge (“psig”). Water walls = 6135 sq. ft., (Heating Surface), Economizer =
16,606 sq. ft., Fly Ash Bag House is a Ray Jet Model (8) 61813-14 THC. There is
an all steel 182 ft. vertical chimney. The plant is capable of producing
approximately 8,000 lbs/hour of steam at 1,100 psig and 80% quality to be used
as down hole injection for enhanced oil recovery. A propane system is provided
for startup of the boiler. Natural gas can be brought to the site but is not
currently present.
The boiler has two forced draft fans, one primary air and one secondary air and
one induced draft fan. Shell and tube type air pre-heater. Boiler protection

m. Summary of Major Generator Modifications and Design

Changes

n. Fuel Receiving
Poso’s historic main fuel source has been coal and petroleum coke. Poso also co-
fired local biomass supplies, including pistachio shells and, to determine any
boiler operational results as well as fuel handling issues. Coal and petroleum

8
Rio Bravo Poso

coke are currently delivered to the site in covered hopper-bottom trucks

dispatched from the terminal distribution complex. If the conversion to burn
100% biomass is completed, biomass is expected to be delivered directly to the
site via truck and trailer.
Trucks unload at the site into a drive-over grizzly and discharge into a semi-
enclosed hopper designed to accommodate a throughput of 100 tons per hour
that also includes a dust suppression system.
Unloading time is approximately 5-7 minutes for a nominal 25-ton (net) capacity
truck. Fuel from the receiving hopper is fed by a fully enclosed conveyor to a
distribution conveyor whereby fuel is deposited in one of two 750-ton silos.
Together, the silos provide four days of storage based upon full-firing rate and
design fuel. A dust suppression system is employed to minimize fugitive dust.
Each silo is equipped with a gate, screw feeder/conveyor, and crusher, which
discharges to a collecting conveyor via totally enclosed connections. The
collecting conveyor feeds the boiler surge hopper. This system will be modified
during an optional biomass fuel conversion. See Biomass Conversion description
below.
o. Emissions Control
Poso’s emission control equipment consists of a bag house for particulate
removal and dust collection.
p. Water Treatment
Boiler Water – The boiler water treatment system consists of a steam drum, a
deaerator for oxygen removal, batch tanks, and pumps for treatment chemicals.
Poso utilizes a leased de-mineralizer system to condition make-up water for
boiler use.
Cooling Water – The cooling water treatment consists of totes and pumps for
dispersant and passivator chemical injection. A 10,000 gallon acid tank, pH
controller, and variable speed pumps are used for pH control. Bio growth is
controlled by an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (“ORP”) system that operates a
sodium hypochlorite (bleach) pump.
Storage – A 100,000 gallon water storage tank is provided for plant raw water
storage.
q. Cooling Tower
Heat rejection systems are provided for condensing of steam and cooling of
auxiliary equipment. The main condenser is a shell and tube heat exchanger
equipped with two 100% capacity condensate pumps. A multi-cell, mechanical
draft cooling tower is also used, with two 100% capacity circulating water pumps.
The main cooling tower was manufactured by GEA Power Cooling Systems. It is
a three cell, induced draft, counter flow cooling tower with a water flow rate of
20,250 gpm. Three fans are supplied, one for each cell of the tower and they
operate at two speeds. An extension-cooling tower was added, manufactured by
Pacific Cooling Services. It is a two cell, induced draft, counter flow cooling
tower with a water flow rate of 4,205 gpm.
The condenser cooling water is supplied by two 400 HP 20,400 gpm circulating
pumps (one in standby). The cooling water to plant auxiliaries is supplied by two
40 HP 670 gpm pumps (one in standby). The cooling tower is rated at 7.76
macfm air flow and water loading of 5.27 gpm/sq ft.

Biomass Conversion
Poso was also permitted to utilize biomass as fuel and can be converted into a
100% biomass facility. The plant has undergone test burning of biomass fuel as
well as analysis and engineering design. Studies performed by Shaw Consultants
have determined that the minimum amount of qualified capital improvements
needed to convert the facility to biomass and to qualify the facility for PTCs is
approximately $4.6 million, of which more than 5% has already been spent by the
partnership.
Once qualified modifications are complete, Poso will receive PTCs based on
renewable energy production at a current rate of ~$11.00/MWh, (open-loop) or
~$23.00/MWh, (closed-loop), escalating annually.
The biomass conversion project principally consists of modifications to each
facility: (i) to the boiler fuel feed system allowing 100% biomass to be fed into the
boiler in sufficient quantities to meet high steam production; (ii) in the interior
boiler – changes in metals, refractory, cyclone, backpass, sootblowers, etc – to
handle chemical and physical differences in biomass fuel compared to coal with
high reliability; and (iii) to the fuel receiving, handling and transfer systems at
each facility – due to the differences in bulk density and materials handling of
biomass compared to fossil fuels. A more detailed description of the conversion
plan is set forth later in each plants overall description.
Testing and studies have confirmed that certain changes to machinery and
equipment are appropriate to allow 100% biomass fuel use. The qualified capital
improvements are part of design and engineering work being done by Foster
Wheeler North America and principally consist of the following:
§ New boiler penetrations for additional fuel feed
§ Waterwall and boiler tube changes
§ Additional refractory
§ Changes to the cyclone
§ Changes to the pre and finishing superheaters
§ Changes to the sootblower system

10
Rio Bravo Poso

§ Changes to the ash removal system

§ Fuel feed system to boiler
Additionally, a new fuel feed system will be added to the boiler, while parts of the
old fossil fuel feed systems will be retained. Current cost projections will meet
the minimum qualified cost goal.
Additional changes are necessary to receive biomass fuel, but are not part of
“qualified” costs. These principally consist of the following:
§ Truck Scales
§ Truck dumping and self-unloading facilities
§ Fuel receiving hoppers
§ Screening and hogging (sizing) equipment
§ Metal and foreign object removal systems
§ Fuel stacking systems
§ Fuel reclaim systems
§ Dust collection and control
f. Electric and Gas Interconnections
Poso has a generator interconnect agreement with PG&E. The interconnect point
is between the high side of Poso’s generator step-up transformer and the
adjacent 115kV Substation. Poso has requested a replacement CAISO
interconnection agreement under CAISO regulatory provisions allowing a legacy
Qualifying Facility ("QF") to convert to a new form of interconnection agreement
while retaining all rights. Due to its limited use of gas for just start-up, Poso does
not have a natural gas connection. Poso is located approximately two miles west
of the PG&E main gas pipeline system in that area.
g. Ash Disposal
Combustion ash was recycled for beneficial use under an Ash Management
Agreement with Calash LLC.
h. Water Supply
All water is supplied by two on-site ground water wells.
