Abstract

This environment-friendly approach to coal combustion is the success story of the decade. Starting with a comparison to pulverized-coal and stoker-fired systems, the report presents the state of commercialization of the leading types, discusses their differences and similarities, describes design features of individual models, compares their operating experience and pollutant emissions.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS CONTROL BY OXYGEN FIRING IN CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED BOILERS

Technical Report Nsakala, Nsakala; Liljedahl, Gregory

Given that fossil fuel fired power plants are among the largest and most concentrated producers of CO{sub 2} emissions, recovery and sequestration of CO{sub 2} from the flue gas of such plants has been identified as one of the primary means for reducing anthropogenic CO{sub 2} emissions. In this study, ALSTOM Power Inc. (ALSTOM) has investigated several coal fired power plant configurations designed to capture CO{sub 2} from effluent gas streams for use or sequestration. Burning fossil fuels in mixtures of oxygen and recirculated flue gas (made principally of CO{sub 2}) essentially eliminates the presence of atmospheric nitrogen in themore »« less

Comparative assessment of industrial-boiler options relative to air-emission regulations

Technical Report Klepper, O; Delene, J; Drago, J; ...

The purpose of this work was to assist the DOE in its efforts to further advance environmental control technologies in the industrial coal use sector. A number of near-term technologies applicable to new boilers were evaluated to determine their technical and economic merits, and to identify needed research and development. In addition, sets of capital cost data were developed for the industrial steam supply options. The steam supply options comprise conventional pulverized-coal and stoker-fired boilers, atmospheric fluidized bed boilers, and low- and medium-Btu gas fueled units. Oil-fired boilers were included for comparison purposes. The consequences of potential future alterations ofmore »« less
Rotary regenerative heat exchanger: Application to atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion boilers

Book Gilkey, C; Mergler, T; Muller-Odenwald, H; ...

The application of the Ljungstrom{reg_sign} air preheater, a rotary regenerative type, to atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC) bubbling-bed and circulating-bed boilers is summarized. The air preheater is used to recover useful heat from the boiler exhaust gas and return it to the incoming combustion air. This provides a more efficient combustion process. Tubular and regenerative air preheaters are key accessories being used on AFBC boilers throughout the world. Descriptions in this paper will cover nine units in operation or planned. The projects include: USA`s Northern States Power Company`s 130 MWe Black Dog No. 2; TVA`s 160 MWe Shawnee No. 10; Japan`smore »« less
Current and advanced NO/sub x/-control technology for coal-fired industrial boilers

Technical Report

A NOx-control-technology assessment study of coal-fired industrial boilers was conducted to examine the effectiveness of combustion-modification methods, including low excess air, staged combustion, and burner modifications. Boiler types considered included overfed and underfed stokers, spreader stokers, pulverized-coal and coal-fired cyclone units. Significant variations in NOx emissions occur with boiler type, firing method, and coal type; a relative comparison of emission-control performance, cost, and operational considerations is presented for each method. Baseline (as-found) emissions from grate-fired stokers were shown to be in the range of 200 to 300 ppM. Similarly, as-found emissions from suspension-fired units were quite low (350 to 600more »« less

Design features and operating experience of circulating fluidized bed boilers firing high ash coals in India

Conference Rajaram, S

Fluidized bed combustion systems for firing high ash coals and low grade fuels are gaining wide acceptance in industrial and utility sectors in India due to the abundance of such fuels. The resources of all types of coals in India are estimated to be around 192 billion tonnes. As much as 40% of the resources contain more than 32% ash. Lignite is emerging as an alternative source of fuel for power generation in the western part of India. While most of the Indian coals contain less than 0.5% sulfur, the sulfur content of these lignites can be as high asmore »« less
