The Energy and Environmental Research Corporation (EER) has designed, installed and tested several natural gas reburning system for NO{sub x} control. Coal reburning has also been studied by EER and demonstrated by others. Coal-Water Slurry (CWS) reburning offers the potential to significantly lower the cost of NO{sub x} control. This paper describes the retrofit application of coal-water slurry as a reburn fuel on a pulverized coal fired utility boiler. A comparative analysis is provided with respect to boiler performance and combustion efficiency between the proposed (CWS) reburn fuel and the demonstrated natural gas/coal reburn fuels. An economic evaluation of the capital and operating cost of a typical utility boiler is also presented.
