Several systems have been developed recently for igniting pulverised fuel boilers without the need for supplementary fuel. Combustion Engineering have introduced a system called Direct Igntion of Pulverized Coal (DIPC) which uses high-intensity arc ignition of very finely ground coal. This is being tested at the TVA power station. Babcock and Wilcox are developing a Plasma Arc Igniter, and Foster Wheeler are installing their Low-load Coal Burner/Igniter (LLCB/J) at a station in Indiana.
