Control Techtronics, Inc. (CTI), is conducting a project to reduce air emissions and increase efficiency in coal-fired boilers in Krakow, Poland, and to create a commercial venture in Poland which can act as a leader for efficient combustion in boilers throughout the region. To achieve the technical goals of the project, CTI will use a three-part program as follows: (1) Analyze the fuel specifications of a given plant and recommend modifications, as necessary. (2) Apply automatic combustion controls systems to the boilers. (3) Train plant operators in proper plant operation, as well as proper use of control systems. To achieve the commercial goals, CTI will form a commercial venture in Poland to market and service the CTI program after successful demonstration. In Budget Period One (first year), CTI will demonstrate the efficiency improvement program at MPEC`s Balicka district heating plant in the Widok section of Krakow. CTI is working with several organizations to accomplish this work. The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) is providing technical assistance in analysis of the fuel quality, technical assistance in the application of the controls, training material and techniques, and project management assistance. The Polytechnika Krakowska (PK) is working with PSU to conduct performance tests on the boilers at Balicka and to conduct training in the Polish language. Naftokrak-Naftobudowa (NK) is the installing contractor. Energoaparatura (ENAP) will assemble system components in Poland for CTI. MPEC is the owner of the host site for the first CTI installation. CTI is also cooperating with Honeywell, another participant in the DOE/Krakow program, to interface CTI combustion controls with Honeywell system heating controls in the Widok district.
