Emissions and performance evaluation of coal derived and petroleum fuel oils in a utility boiler

OSTI ID:6020509
Combustion demonstrations utilizing two coal derived liquid fuels, Ashland's H-Coal and Exxon's Doner Solvent (EDS), were conducted on a utility boiler typical of a large fraction of utility generation capacity but small enough to accomodate a limited amount of coal derived fuels. Emissions measurements included gaseous species of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, total unburned hydrocarbons and oxygen. Particulate matter measurements consisted of mass emission levels, composition, particle size distribution, particle morphology and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Emissions and boiler performance were evaluated and compared to the current number 6 oil used on the boiler.
