Experiences from some Swedish installations for flue gas condensation; Erfarenheter fraan naagra svenska roekgaskondenseringsanlaeggningar

Abstract

Flue gas condensation plants have been studied at 15 energy plants based on biofuel, peat or municipal solid waste (MSW). In 7 of the plants the combustion air is humidified with condensate, and in 5 plants heat pumps are used to recover more heat from the flue gases. The energy gain is 20-30 %. The condensation plants have turned out to be easy to operate and are reliable. The operation costs are low (electricity 10-20 SEK, chemicals 1-6 SEK, maintenance 1-2 SEK, and wages 0-25 SEK per MWh). The material problems have in most cases been solved by proper design and choice of suitable qualities of material (increasing in the order biofuel - peat - MSW). The environmental problems are well controlled by adequate purification of the condensate formed. The flue gas condensation shows a clear purification effect on the flue gases, especially in the case of such fuels as peat and MSW. The condensation plants report an investment cost per MW heat of 2-4 MSEK. The profitability is good, even in cases with the operation time limited to 8-9 months per year. Flue gas condensation has increased the heat recovery by 20-30 % and it ought, therefore, to be  More>>
