This paper presents the successes and lessons learned during recent low NOx burner and SNCR projects on generating units at New England Power`s Salem Harbor Generating Station. The principals involved in the project were New England Power Company, New England Power Service Company, Stone and Webster Engineering Corp. and Deutsche-Babcock Riley Inc. One unit was retrofitted with 16 Riley CCV burners with an OFA system, the other with 12 low NOx burners only. In addition to the burners, a SNCR system was also installed on three units. Since each of the burner systems are interdependent (SNCR was treated separately during design phases and optimized along with the burner systems), close cooperation during the design stages was essential to ensuring a successful installation, startup and optimization. This paper will present the coordinated effort put forth by each company toward this goal with the hope of assisting others who may be planning a similar effort. A summary of the operating results will also be presented. The up front teamwork and advance planning that went into the design stages of the project resulted in a number of successful outcomes e.g. scanner reliability, properly operating oil supply system, compatibility of burners and burner front oil system with new Burner Management System (BMS), reliable first attempt burner ignition and more. Advance planning facilitated pre-outage work and factored into keeping schedules and budgets on track.
