predicted resistivity to increase about four
times. The
increase of resisitivity will probably not cause
opera-
tional problems with the favorable ash produced
when
the November samples were taken. However, low
power
levels and high opacity may be a problem if ash
quality
is similar to that encountered in September. If
high resis-
tivity problems occur when burning the high
magnesium
residue, injection of sodium sulfite
(Na2S) to
increase
the sodium oxide levels in the ash to 1.5% will
lower
resistivities to an acceptable
level.
