Robust gas sensors that offer real-time feedback about combustion in coal-fired power plants promise greater energy efficiency with fewer harmful emissions while also improving the bottom line for power generators. Currently, no technology meets this objective. Therefore, the objectives of this project are to develop an accurate, robust, reliable, high temperature sensor offering near real-time feedback to plant operators using a novel catalytic/non-catalytic sensor design to detect target gases available for oxidization. Such a sensor would inform power plant operators how to adjust the amount of fuel and air for an optimal performance.
