Kennecott Smokestack
Kennecott Utah Copper LLC’s Garfield Smelter Stack is a high smokestack west of Magna, Utah, alongside Interstate 80 near the Great Salt Lake. It was built to disperse exhaust gases from the Kennecott Utah Copper smelter at Garfield, Utah.
==Waste gases==
In 1974 the Garfield Smelter Stack was completed, replacing several earlier smokestacks, the tallest of which was high. The extra height was needed to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act of 1970, to disperse waste gases according to new standards.〔
In response to new emissions limits and anticipated future state and federal standards, Outokumpu and Kennecott had conducted flash converting pilot tests from 1985 at Outokumpu's research facility in Finland. With the introduction of strict new environmental regulations in the state of Utah, the smelter's maximum permissible sulphur emission was decreased to per year from the earlier . In 1995 a new, cleaner Outokumpu flash smelting furnace was commissioned. By 2004, the annual average SO2 emissions from the stack were 161.5 lbs/hr (73 kg/hr), below the permitted average annual level of 211 lbs/hr (96 kg/hr) (with a three-hour permitted SO2 limit of 552 lbs/hr (250 kg/hr)).
The off-gases from the flash smelting furnace contain 35-40% sulfur dioxide. They are cooled and cleaned in a waste-heat boiler, electrostatic precipitator and scrubbing system before being sent to the sulfuric acid plant. The acid plant produces either 94% or 98% sulfuric acid with tail gas containing typically 50-70 ppm sulfur dioxide, resulting in a measured sulfur fixation of greater than 99.9%. In 2006 the company produced and sold approximately of sulfuric acid, made from the formerly released gas. The acid recovery plant is designed to also recover waste heat from the process to produce electrical power. Approximately 24 MW of electrical power is generated, representing 70% of the smelter’s electrical requirements.〔
