The Nucal Station was the world’s first and largest utility-scale CFB facility, and the first application of this technology in the United States. K&M was engaged by DOE to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the technical progress relative to meeting project objectives, with particular emphasis on status of the test plan. K&M identified key test results, findings, and potential problem areas, compared test results with the original test plan, and reviewed variations. K&M also developed an independent test plan to assess the remainder of the testing for the facility.
