New Source Performance Standard for Stationary Gas Turbines - Standards of Sulfur Dioxide

Gas turbines can emit sulfur oxide emissions (SO x). Emission of sulfur oxides are dependent on the sulfur content of the fuel. Table 1 illustrates the sulfur dioxide emission limits. Owners or operators must comply with one or the other of the conditions shown in Table 1.
