Particulate emission abatement for Krakow boiler houses. Technical progress report {number_sign}7, October 1--December 31, 1995
This project involves the implementation of a new particulate control technology called a Core Separator for low emission sources (LES) in Krakow. With several hundred boiler sites in the city burning low grade coal, existing pollution control equipment consists primarily of low efficiency cyclones. Such equipment cannot meet the emission standards of most industrial nations. More importantly, these conditions have been the cause of low ambient air quality in Krakow from suspended particles. The Core Separator can be retrofitted onto these boiler houses to substantially reduce particulate emissions, particularly those consisting of the fraction classified as PM10. In this project, Core Separator technology will be demonstrated for boiler house applications in the Krakow region. Phase 1 entailed business planning and infrastructure studies to determine the market for this equipment. In the second phase, the technology is to be demonstrated in several boilers of different capacity and firing various grades of coal. Later, a joint venture company will be established with the capability of manufacturing and supplying this equipment in Krakow and throughout Poland. Several new installations are now nearing completion in Krakow. As of this writing, four Core Separator units have been installed in Krakow and others have been proposed.
