Part I - burner and ESP improvements for reduction of particulate and NO{sub x} emissions
- New Brunswick Power (Canada)
The Coleson Cove Generating Station is a 3 x 350 MW plant located on the Bay of Fundy in Southern New Brunswick, Canada. The plant was designed to burn a range of fuel oils including distillates, crudes, and residual oil. The original fuel was a light high sulphur residual. The fuel supply changed to Venezuelan high vanadium residual as a result of economics. Typical Venezuelan analysis is shown, together with the design fuel analysis. A result of this change was a significant increase in emissions. The plant was designed with electrostatic precipitators by Joy Technologies with 90% collection efficiency. Based on the design criteria problems with the ash handling system, the precipitators were not operated consistently for a significant period. As a result of the above conditions and because of high emissions, a program of combustion improvements was initiated followed by upgrading of the precipitator and ash handling system.
