Emissions reductions in coal-fired home heating stoves through use of briquettes. Quarterly report, April 1, 1994--June 30, 1994
The objective of the work is to create a commercially successful venture to market a low-emission coal briquette to the residential heating market in Krakow. Drilling Phase I, small quantities of the briquetted product will be manufactured and tested. Five Polish coals and two Polish sources of binder material will be tested to determine their amenability to forming briquettes. Small-scale combustion tests will also be performed during Phase I to determine the effectiveness of the briquettes in reducing emissions. A preliminary engineering review for the Phase II briquetting plant will also be performed. Construction of a new plant in Katowice to serve the Krakow market is being considered. This quarter has been a period of startup for this project. Contractual requirements have been completed with several partners. One proposed partner has withdrawn; a replacement organization has been identified. An assistant project manager has been hired and deployed to Krakow. Several deliverables have been completed including the Draft Project Management Plan, Foreign Travel Report, Hazardous Substance Plan, and the Test Plan for Akademia Gorniczo Hutnicza (AGH). Official appraisals for Przedsiebiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej (PEC) and INCO Veritas have also been delivered. Initial briquetting experiments have been completed. Several presentations were made and two papers were submitted for conferences that will be held in the next quarter.
