Abstract

This paper discusses two potential locations for a Proof-of-Concept (POC) Test Facility Design being developed under the US Department of Energy`s Low Emission Boiler System (LEBS) program. The primary goal of the LEBS program is to develop the next generation of pulverized coal-fired power systems to meet stringent emissions requirements with high energy conversion efficiency. The DB Riley team has been chosen to go forward with Phase 4 of the LEBS Program. Phase IV of the program will include the final design and construction of the POC Test Facility. The POC Test Facility plan for the DB Riley Team has been broadened to two potential locations: (1) A greenfield plant at Turris Mine, Elkhart, Illinois and (2) A repowered Cogeneration Steam Plant at the Savannah River Site, Aiken, South Carolina. Testing at existing large-scale experimental facilities is proposed to support either POC site. The Turris Mine location is currently being pursued as the primary site with the Savannah River location being considered as a contingency location. Each POC Facility includes provisions for testing and evaluating two important LEBS technologies: an advanced U-fired low-NO{sub x} slagging combustion system and the copper oxide flue gas cleanup (FGC) process.

Latest developments and application of DB Riley's low NOx CCV{reg{underscore}sign} burner technology

Conference Penterson, C; Ake, T

Recent developments in DB Riley (DBR) low NOx burner technology and the application of this technology in coal fired utility boilers are discussed. Since the promulgation of the Clean Air Act Amendment in 1990, DBR has sold nearly 1,500 Controlled Combustion Venturi (CCV{reg{underscore}sign}) burners on pulverized coal fired utility boilers reducing NOx emissions 50--70% from uncontrolled levels. This technology has been retrofitted on boiler designs ranging in size and type from 50 MW front wall fired boilers to 1,300 MW opposed fired cell type boilers. In DBR's latest version of the CCV{reg{underscore}sign} burner, a second controlled flow air zone wasmore »« less
DB Riley-low emission boiler system (LEBS): Superior power for the 21st century

Conference Beittel, R; Ruth, L

In conjunction with the US Department of Energy, DB Riley, Inc., is developing a highly advanced coal-fired power-generation plant called the Low Emission Boiler Systems (LEBS). By the year 2000, LEBS will provide the US electric power industry with a reliable, efficient, cost-effective, environmentally superior alternative to current technologies. LEBS incorporates significant advances in coal combustion, supercritical steam boiler design, environmental control, and materials development. The system will include a state-of-the-art steam cycle operating at supercritical steam conditions; a slagging combustor that produces vitrified ash by-products; low nitrogen oxide (NOx) burners; a new, dry, regenerable flue gas cleanup system (coppermore »« less

Low NO{sub x} slag tap firing for a low emission boiler system

Conference Beittel, R; Ake, T

DB Riley, Inc. was recently awarded the proof of concept phase of the US Department of Energy Low Emission Boiler System (LEBS) program to develop the next major advancement in pulverized coal burning technology. The DB Riley project team has developed a 400 MWe Commercial Generating Unit (CGU) design meeting all environmental and efficiency goals. The LEBS design is based on a low-NO{sub x} U-fired slag tap firing system. Low NO{sub x} slag tap firing has been demonstrated in a 100 million Btu/hr (29 MW) U-fired test facility for a high sulfur, Illinois coal, and a medium sulfur Appalachian coal,more »« less
