Applications of fireside additives to utility boilers: workshop proceedings
- ed.
On August 3 and 4, 1980, EPRI held a workshop in Boston, Massachusetts, on the use of fireside additives to remedy problems of fossil-fuel-fired utility boilers: corrosion, fouling, superheat control, acidic emissions, and fly ash control. Changing conditions of fueling, regulation, and operation are continuing to increase the complexity of these problems. The dual purpose of the workshop was to focus the current knowledge and experience in this broad area and to define issues that need to be further addressed. The impetus for the workshop was provided by recent surveys performed by Battelle, Columbus Laboratories, and sponsored by EPRI with the assistance of the Edison Electric Institute Prime Movers Committee. Their findings are reported in EPRI Final Report CS-1318, Electric Utility Use of Fireside Additives, which includes guidelines for additive selection and for planning additive trials. The following general conclusions were reached by the discussion groups: (1) for oil firing - MgO in an oil dispersion is the additive most effective in combating corrosion from vanadium and sulfur trioxide; many other additives are useful depending on circumstances; additive performance is site specific (experience in one boiler is not directly transferable to another); and there are many unanswered questions regarding additive use, including the most effective test-program procedures. (2) For coal firing - the use of additives developed for oil firing has been helpful in some cases, but is neither optimum nor sufficient for all cases; and better data are needed on a range of problems and applications including slag behavior, deposit effects, corrosion suppression, plume-visibility reduction, and coal handling. Seventeen papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
