The demonstration of an advanced cyclone coal combustor with internal sulfur, nitrogen and ash control, for the conversion of a 23 MMBtu/hr boiler to coal: Quarterly report
As a part of the Department of Energy's Clean Coal technology Program, Coal Tech Corporation is demonstrating the near commercial readiness of an advanced cyclone coal combustor for ''new'' or ''retrofit'' applications on industrial or utility boilers. This advanced combustor can control SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub x/ emissions to near new source performance standards and at the same time retain and reject ash, sorbent, and sulfur compound solids as slag upstream of the boiler. Coal Tech has completed the design requirements for peripheral equipment necessary to operate the Coal Tech combustor firing dry pulverized coal. The combustor itself, rated at 30 million Btu per hour (MMBtu/hr), is already installed on a 23 MMBtu/hr oil/gas fired boiler belonging to Keeler/Dorr Oliver and located at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Coal Tech has applied for operating permits for water and solids disposal and for air pollutant emissions. Long lead time equipment for the coal feed and the scrubber system have been ordered. This completes Phase I, the design and permitting phase of this project.
